1980 CE ed cil jm he 18 re th ch at ill November 20, 1500 SUSQUEHANNA TIMES—Page 13 ‘“‘Rome Mill’ by Donegal student Jon Horst Donegal’s J. Horst honored as artist Jon Horst, a senior art major at Donegal High School, was recently hon- ored as one of 12 county art students who had their work chosen for the 1981 Com- monwealth National Bank Calendar. The calendar features pen and ‘ink drawings with Lancaster County themes. Jon’s work depicts the historic Rome Mill in Lititz. Jon and his teacher, Mrs. Linda Ross, were guests of the bank at a luncheon held at the Hamilton Club. The Letter to the Editor: Reflection on fall election Letter to the Editor: Discretion being the bet- ter part of valor, I'm ready to accept the ‘‘Debacle of the Democrats’’ known as Election Day 1980. Follow- is my dish of crow: It’s been three weeks since election day and no one has yet showed up to hear my concession speech. I listened to President Carter’s, Mr. Mondale’s, Pete Flaherty’s and others, so I figured people would want to hear mine. I waited and waited but no one showed up. Maybe in all the excitement 1 was simply overlooked. I won’t make a fuss about it, but since it’s already prepared I hate to let it go to waste. First, to the non-winners. So we picked a loser. . . .so what? We gave it our best shot and anyway, crow doesn’t taste so bad. Have no regrets and don’t be ashamed about losing. No one can say that winning isn’t important, but equally important is the fact that we took a stand. We must now pick up the pieces, examine our premises, and start over again. We must determine how our convictions can be useful to the country, then get about the business of getting involved again. Now to the winners. Congratulations! To the victor go the spoils. Enjoy your success. Savor the sweet taste of victory. When this euphoric feeling thins out, take a deep breath and get your act on the road. I will heartily support you when you're right and just as heartily fight you when you're wrong. To the indifferent, I say you are living dangerously. You are depending on others to do your thinking for you, to vote for you. Contrary to some experts, indifference is not an acceptable choice. Doing nothing is not a positive act. calendar was unveiled at the luncheon, in the presence of many Lancaster officials, including Mayor Morris. The calendar can be purchased at any branch office of Commonwealth Bank for $1.50. It would be interesting to know how many of you who refused to vote because ‘‘the choices were bad’’ also chose not to vote in the primaries. If there are any losers in this election, it is you. Finally, to all of us, the winners, the non-winners, the indifferent. There are no losers in our system. . . .we are all winners. How can anyone be a loser who lives in a country where even the poor are rich, where every- one can do or not do, be or not be, however he chooses? There are no losers in a country where freedom is a sacred trust and political parties are only custodians of that trust, where the rich and powerful are still known only as mister of Mrs., not as ‘‘your majesty.”’ If we're all winners we must be doing something right, so let’s count our blessings and keep moving ahead.
