Rainbolt 11 EAST MAIN STREET MOUNT JOY, PA., 17552 Eb Editor PHONE (717) 653-4400 da and gin) = Publisher Published Weekly on Wednesdays Except Fourth of July Week and Christmas Week (50 Issues Per Year) —EDITORIAL— Giving of a full and complete pardon to Richard Nixon may be a good thing for the country, but ... There are any number of reasons why that action, at this time, appears to be ill-advised. First, it ended a honeymoon which would have served the country well to have been extended. It is inevitable that when President Ford, or any president or any person, begins to make decisions, he will create uproars. It should have been recognized by almost anyone in Washington that a pardon would become, instantly, a divisive matter, rekindling Watergate fires which, for the time being, were banked. Judgment, in these times of uncertainty and political distrust, would say that until it became necessary to improve the economic picture in America, the honeymoon atmosphere should have been preserved. Secondly, at this point, anyone can ask with candor - ‘‘Pardon for what?’’ That is not the whole story, of course, but there is too much unanswered about Watergate to resist the question, even if you have a feeling Nixon is absolutely guilty of something. Until there was some kind of revelation, some court action, some indictment more specific than as of Sept. 1, the “For what” question will always hang unanswered, ‘‘swinging in the breeze.” Thirdly, and in the minds of many the most important, there is continued that nagging matter of politics as a ‘log rolling’, “back scratching’ ‘‘horse trading’’, ‘‘wheeling dealing’ business. The public has had about enough of secret negotiations followed by sudden announcements and some might add, weekend dealings. Mr. Clean put a smudge on his face which the general public does not admire. Had the new president used a better ‘public relations’’ formula, he could have saved for himself a prolonged honeymoon, preserved his ‘““open above board” image and maybe learned enough to answer the nagging question about “For What?” Timing, it often is said, is all important!

No self-respecting, conscientious family man has bought President Ford's ‘‘his family has suffered enough’ statement as a reason for pardoning Richard Nixon. In the society in which we live, one of the greatest deterrents to unacceptable actions of all kinds, by most men, is the knowledge that his family would suffer if he does not live an upright life. Ministerium Sets The Rev. Robert C. . Murphy, pastor of the Fall Meeting Donegal Springs Presbyterian Church, will speak concerning the Nor- thern Ireland conflict, an area he visited recently. All ministers of the area are invited to attend. Several matters of im- portant business will need their attention. For Sept. 23 The first fall meeting of the Mount Joy Minsterium will be held on Monday morning, Sept. 23, at the Crossroads Brethren in Christ Church, at 9:30 o'clock. * Letter To Editor x Dear Mr. Rainbolt, In answer to the editorial signed ‘‘A Taxpayer,’ 1 wish to present a fact to him that may not be known by the writer. The ‘‘money’’ that Mr. Clarence Schock con- tributed to the School was to be used for a ‘‘specific purpose’’ i.e. track, and not for general expenses which included the ‘‘taxpayers money.’’ A ‘‘special application’ of the Schock fund, in this in- stance for the track, was used wisely and prudently. My special contributions I gladly donate to the “School’’ are definitely not the taxpayer's money but my own personal donations for special purposes not included in the budget. School Board members should be appreciated in-: stead of criticized. The willing ‘‘man hours’ of donated services per month would total several thousand dollars each and every month. Donegal has been most fortunate in having dedicated, intelligent, capable men on its board since the inception of the “Donegal School District’. Did ‘‘A Taxpayer,’ happen to read the newspaper ac-' counts of Columbia’s and Conestoga Valley’s probable costs for a gymasium? Donegal’s “D.I.G.” is a fantastic achievement!! Don’t you agree!!
