According to reports, the General Electric Company has caufiht up with the backlog on many items, such as sma motors, some types of large motors, cable, street lighting equipment and welding equipment, and have their salesmen out trying to drum up new orders Now, when the time comes when you duck across the street to avoid that new car salesman ... Let‘s try to remember that they both stink. ® A CLEARER ISSUE The revelation that Hank‘s advisers are strongly tainted with the Communist brush has had done salutary effect, we think, on the coming campaign. Both major parties can forget Wallace and concentrate on themâ€" selves and each other. The Republicans can try to divert attention from the miserable showing they made at the special session of Congress and the Democrats can try to divert attention from the miserable showing they have made in keeping agents of a foreign power out of the high councils of our government. e GOOD NEWS Ve remember how, during the war, anyone who consoled caution and ordinary circumspection in taking the Russian chum into our most secret confidences, or who suggested that maybe Russian aims were not entirely in line with ours, laid himself open to the charge of being a Fascist, or at least at being inclined to sympathy for that cause. Now the pendulum has swung the other way and we are prone to label all antiâ€"Fascists as Communists, just as yesterday we called all antiâ€"Communists Fascists. In theifirst nlac«:â€"we don‘t think the aroma of rotter eggs will dompare too unfavorably with the aroma of Communism that envelopes Hank‘s entourage. By the same token, we don‘t think that the smell of Communism should be any more offensive to American nostrils than that of Fascism. & COMMUNISTS, ROTTEN EGGS AND FASCISTS Hank Wallace is being showered with rotten eggs as he invades the hospitable Southland to preach his starryâ€"eyed doctrine of unilateral cooperation with Rusâ€" sia. We think that the tokens of esteem that are being presented him provide food for thought, even though, by all reports, they have long since passed the point of being useful as provender. Vol. No. 38; No. 28 LABOR DAY, OH LABOR DaAY : Up To Now BY BILL THOMAS Pastors will be changed at the First United Evangelical Church of Highland Park due to the action of the recent session of the Anâ€" nual Conference in which this congregation is located.

In each race places are awarded on corrected time, Each boat acquires one hanâ€" dicap point from each boat deâ€" feated; thus, of seven boats in a race the first wins six points, the next four and so on down to the last boat which loses six. These points are added to or subtracted from previous handicap ratings and applied to the next race. The handicap in points is the perecntâ€" age of actual time to be added or deducted in finding the corrected time for each boat. In this way, a fast boat builds up ith handicap until it can no longer place above average boats; while a slow boat accumulates more and more adâ€" vantage until it, too, has a chance to win. § ‘"The new method may not be entirely scientific," declared race chairman Gunter Schwandt, "but it promises to be at lot of fun. No system can be really exact in hanâ€" dicapping a dozen different kinds and sizes of boats. This scheme handicaps the skippers too. It should spur lively rivalry in our | contests." | t I _A new handicap system, the yC first of its kind as, far as local yachtsmen know, is now on trial Seve by the race fleet of the North in P.
