Amid wild speculation and an unsettled children’s picture, Winnie-the-Pooh today an- nounced his candidacy for President of the United States on the Children’s Party ticket. TiS, confirms the opinion of in¥®rmed sources who an- ticipate a unanimous endorse- ment of Pooh at the Children’s Party Presidential Nominating Convention at Walt Disney World in late September. . “I want to do what’s right for America,” Pooh said with the enthusiasm of a winner. “I like fun as much as anybody. The children know who can help them -- me.” “Pooh made his announcement at a news conference called early this morning by Owl, Pooh’s long-time friend and close political advisor. Wigk Pooh’s announcement cameras a shock to some ex- perts,political professionals like Rabbit and his Press Secretary, Tigger, took it all in stride. “Pooh’s honest, trustworthy and loyal to all his friends,” offered Rabbit, amid the gaggle of newsmen. ? ‘‘Here’s a fearless bear,’ said Tigger, ‘‘one who isn’t afraid to take a stand on the issues. He’s the children’s choice, no question about it.” Pooh declined to hide behind rhetoric and went directly to the “bear” facts in defining his position on the issues. As for women’s rights, Pooh was very clear. “Little girls are just as im- portant as little boys. They should be able to say which breakfast cereal they want to buy and what channels they want.” ix Pooh seemed to be a little miffed when questioned about his views on consumerism. “I've always said a dime is a dime, no matter whose it is! by Charlot Denmon 675-0419 Mr. and Mrs. Charles Riegel, and if mily, 69 East Center St., Sha Mi Lown have left on a two week camping trip through Virginia and North Carolina.

Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner —OPEN DAILY— 7 a.m. to midnight Sunday thru Thursday I’ve never discriminated against children or adults We're all interested in better values. My record is very clear on that matter!” Pooh recalled that he was an early advocate of both eco- logical sensibility and physical fitness. “I've always believed that we need more flowers, not only in the Hundred Acre Woods, but all across this great land of ours. After all, bees need flowers, and bees make ‘hunny,’ don’t they? “And I've said all along that we're not going to get anywhere until we have four recesses a day instead of one. Children need to know that someone “wants to get this for them and I'm the one who will.” In the areas of domestic and foreign policy, Pooh offered a what to wear. “I think that comfortable clothes that let my friends look like children are the answer.” “As I see it,” Pooh went on, eased by a whirlwind tour by special children ambassadors of good will to people all over listen more closely to the joy of its children “I know children want me,” he summarized. ‘There are some candidates made in smoke-filled rooms. But not me. I say, ‘Let America’s children tell everyone who they want.’ On to the convention!” ; With arms upraised in twin V- for-victory salutes, Pooh left the news conference to huddle with his aides and plan further strategy. It was reported that Pooh plans to remain in Hun- dred Acre Woods for a weekend with his honey pot before he hits the campaign trail with Owl and Tigger. It was noted that a large con- tingent of children waited patiently outside with signs reading, ‘Pooh Will Do!” and “Hip! Hip! Pooh-ray!” They made it perfectly clear that Pooh already had the strongest support from the youth vote.
