® 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

The Christ Crusaders of

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.

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.

lowing a fall in which his
hip was broken, was removed

to the other, “I don’t remem-
ber the mane but the pace is
familiar.
I never knew what happi-
ness was until after I was
married, stated a screen idol.
People shouldn't brood over
the past.
