WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11. 1968 ® An Editorial similar axiom is ‘if os don’t want to get hurt, don't go near the trouble.” The two pseudo proverbs are home-made attempts to point out that nearness fos- ters danger, if there is un- pleasantness involved. Thus, what we're wanting to point out is that anyone-— and we stress ANYONE — who was standing too near the center of action during those heated nights of Aug- ust in Chicago was taking a big big chance. It was no place for tour- ists, sightseers, bystanders, curosity seekers or anyone who did not have business in the Grant park area. And— it should have been impor: tant ‘business. In some ways, one could havé likened the situation to taking a sightseeing vacation to the DMZ in Vietnam. * The Michigan avenue area in question was not, and ev- eryone knew that it was not, a safe place to be. ~~ Almost everyone who was in the area got hurt—demon- strators, police, sightseers and even newsmen. (Some of the latter trapped by own desires to stimulate and to make news.) Everyone knew that there was danger and the antagon- ists were prepared. Even the demonstrators came prepar- ed with their own “medics.” Police in Chicago reacted violently against and that’s about what could have been predicted. How many times are police- men supposed to rap Kincing, screaming, spitting, vitrolie, cbscene demonstrators who defy the law? Is it two or three? Oh, yes, there prob- ably were too many blows struck. But there also was too much tension, too many taunts, too many bottles, too many -stones, too many jeers and too much of a lot of oth- er things. - It sounds more like the re. action of men charged with the difficult duty of maintain- ing law and order in the face of rioters. The full load of responsi- their - bility for what happened is not on the shoulders of the Chicago police department. Clubbings are not to be condoned or defended but a policeman who has been re- viled and assaulted in the foulest way is not — nor is any red blooded American male—inclined to react pas- sively. AFTER-ELECTION THOUGHTS From The Lititz Record-Express During the recent cam- paign there were so many Wallace stickers in evidence in the Warwick area and so much discussion of Wallace's candidacy that more than one local political prognostic- ator expected a truly sizeable vote. But despite all the noise made, the Independent - Party succeeded in getting no more than a meager six per- cent of -the vote cast locally —proving once again that the local electorate is seldom misled by a lot of shouting. The fact that Pennsylvania went Democratic, due to the huge Democratic votes pour- ed out of Philadelphea and Pittsburgh, could put the state in a poor position with Cross Roads Church violence, Christmas Program The Christ Crusaders of Cross Roads Brethren in Christ church, South Angle St., and Donegal Springs Rd. have extended an invitation to the public to a Christmas program, Sunday evening, Dec, 15. at 7 o'clock. The program, “To God Be the Glory,” consists of stereo music, with narration and slides, will be presented by Glenn Eshleman of Manheim. It takes one-seventh of a second to wink the eye, a science article tells us. Think of the hours and hours some poor guys have wasted * BULLETIN, the National administration. That is, it might if it were not for the fact that, oddly and despite the Democratic big-city out-pouring, we now have the state represented by two Republican U. 8S. Sena- tors who are capable of giv- ing President-elect Nixon a lot of support in pulling the country together and back on the read to reason and common sense. a IN 9 YFOR GRADUATED Airman David L.
