THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10. 1960 18 Pages -- 10c Per Copg- NATION ELECTS PRESIDENT Election Reflections: Aside from the Democrats, who are no doubt tired but elated beyond words, and the Republicans, who- are not only tired but disappointed, there is a third, small segment of political backers who probably have no particular feelings this morning-after. They are membea| of the Socialist Labor parey in Illinois, who didn't expect to win when they voted. Unless ,you are one of the unfortunate (?) whose radio or television went out of order Tuesday night, can you imagine the frustration of zealous political Observers who suddenly lost s^und or sight?

We share her feeling of T contempt for anyone who is] evidently so lacking in huraan^ instincts. A number of thoughts resulting from expressed ideas n^fet have passed through the m i n d s of t h e p a r e n t s and teachirs who assembled last week to discuss today's social behavior of children. It was one in a series of winter meet- Meet Tragic DeatfHt h Area NKH SCHOOL SENOR MES IN CRASH; FATHER OF SIX LOSES LIFE AS VBICIE LANDS IN LAKE One of two tragic accidents which claimed the lives of local residents occurred about 8:15 Saturday evening, Nov. 5, and resulted in the death of Theodore J.
