PAGE TWELVE THE BULLETIN, MOUNT JOY, PA. Joy one Set Seiler Yule Program EDITORIAL In Ravenna, Ohio, a few days ago, the clerk of Portage county burned an 18-page report of a special grand jury which investigated the infamous Kent State affair. The papers were destroyed at the direction of a U. S. District judge, who had found the jury’s re- port to be so blatantly biased that he ordered the conclusions exonerating the National Guard to be expurged and the document destroyed. The honorable judge may be within his legal rights and he may have acted with deep conviction and highest purpose. Yet, we are reminded of a tan- trumous child too young to read who found that a book had no pictures. The grand jury may have returned opinions con- trary to those you hold.

Right or wrong, the record is the ‘record and any effort by anyone, judge or jury, to change an official finding on any subject is an exercise in futility. Burning a birth record does not destroy an indi- vidual; burning a Bible does not erase the truth it contains; burning a marriage license does not dis- solve a marriage; burning every written word con- cerning the law of gravity does not change the fact, burning any single record when there are many cop- ies accomplishes nothing. The fact is that there was a grand jury and the re- sults of its report are known. Both have been given very wide publicity which will stand outside the reach of any judge. Burning the record does ury’s record—right or wrong. n only underscores the bitter- ness and the shame of the entire incident. change the j The actio N-S Yearly Sales Dip Slightly For the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, National-Standard company with home offices in Niles, Mich., reported sales of $123.457,000 down 1. % from last year’s record sales of $125.152,000.

Pearce, the slow general economy coupled with the company’s large non-recurring expense depressed results for the year.
