zqéau' C Congressman BARBER B. CONABLE, JR. _ THE CHINA VISIT WASHINGTON - Everything that happens in a national election year is bound to be in- fected «with politics. Foreign policy has not usually been the issue of which votes are made, an historical fact not limited to this country. That seems strange to people who recall how real and how unpleasant the Viet Nam policy has been, and who view the stir the China trip is now creating in the press; but while ~ failures of foreign policy can result in negative votes, suc- cessful foreign policy is taken for granted by voters, who traditionally find pay dlrt in the social and economic domestic - issues. Generally it is assumed here in Washington that the majority of the American people support the foreign policy initiative that takes the President to Peking, and so very few in Congress are expressing a purely negative view. Well then, how is politics hkely to treat the trip? First, the President and his Repubhcan friends have been .. very cautious in describing their expectations so that they can interpret modest successes favorably. The Democrats have been describing the opportunity as a great one, so that they can interpret modest successes unfavorably. The conservatives fear an abandonment of Taiwan, and a modest, limited dialogue in Peking will be a reassurance to ' them. The liberals fear the President's conservative reputation, and a modest, limited dialogue in Peking will confirm in their minds a wasted op- portunity and unimaginative leadership. Critics of Southeast Asia policy will renew attacks on Viet- . namization if the war does not end immediately after the trip. Supporters of Southeast Asia policy will look for evidence of a sell-out if there is any sudden change in the war following the trip. I personally do not expect any dramatic developments from this fascinating journey. China and the United States have been too far apart, too isolated from each other and each too large in the other's view of the world for rapid change to be possible in ~ their national attitudes. Each system, with all its differences from the other, would have a credlbxhty problem in explaining 80 degree turn from the world it has been following possible benefits in a new dialogue, then, are so far down the road that the politicians can safely interpret the trip as they wish in terms of this year's election. This, I think is the ultimate answer to those who wish the President had not made the trip in an election year. Politics is always going to be with us, regardless, but we rarely have opportunities for. new beginnings, however modest, and a nation like ours can ill afford to miss any chance for reducing world tensions. Today By BRUCE SMITH and SHIRLEY BRIGHT Orleans 4-H Dept. Hello once more from India'! By this time I consider myself as a well experienced village dweller in India. I am currently living in my third state and with my seventh family. I can't believe how fast the time has gone, and all the things that have occurred in the last four months. If I remember correctly, I startedwriting these articles as I was in my first state. Since that time, I have been a speaker, a singer, and mistaken for a hippie, all in the short time of 15 days. In other words, an IYFE must \hang loose\ and be very flexible. Shortly after arriving in the state of Mysore, my second state, I had to fight off a case of illness which left me quite weak, but able to carry on with programs. Soon, I found that I had been scheduled for a full ten day program of making speeches and meeting officials. The first few days it was fun, but soon I grew tired of being on the road all day long and missing the home life of my host family. Along with the speeches, we always had time for questions and the one question would always be \Will you sing a song for us?\ When the people seemed to enjoy my singing, I could only surmize that these people can enjoy anything. I was happy when I moved to my next family, where we slowed down the public appearances and I felt more like a member of the family. It was here that my host introduced me to his uncle and an IFYE from America and he misunderstood and thought that I was a hippie. We soon corrected his impression and were on our way. I had some real good ex- periences of Indian life with this family as many times we ran out of gas in our 1948 Dodge or rode the 2% miles to town on the scooter. Christmas time came and I spent it in the village, but with an extremely wealthy family. It was still an experience since they were of the Hindu faith. Here we had much luxury and for every chore. During part of the time I'm sure you realize that we had a war over here and we IFYE's felt the effect as we were here for the purpose of world peace. Our Government's stand didn't do much to help us either. Well, that brings us to the present and to Gujarat. My village is located 5 to 6 miles from the nearest hard surfaced road and is by far the poorest that I've lived in so far. Part of the village has electricity and the remainder cannot afford it. Most of the village is made up of small land holders (% to 3 acres) who sometimes also work as laborers. Here I have seen real poverty and real hunger.; Many have no idea when, if ever, they will eat their next meal. The pace of life is slow and having an American in their village is the biggest thing that's happened since they received bus service to the nearest town about 12 miles away just one year ago As I look out from my window, I can see the huts made from mud with their thatched roofs and I can see the life of the uneducated Indian villager. It isn't a pleasant sight, but it is real. It's the major problem of India today. When I first saw my room here, I felt that it was adequate. Now I feel like a king in a palace. When I walk through the path- ways of the village and get a glimpse of their lives, I feel a need to help. But where to begin. and what to do. My family are the leaders of the village and I can see their futile efforts. They give the poor people a chance, an opportunity to work and earn so they can have a better life, but because they are uneducated, they cannot see the reason for working two days in a row. They live for the present alone. I guess the best Indian ex- perience I have had has been right here. Experiencing a way of life includes doing things here that I'd never do at home. You can imagine my feelings the first time I had to use the slightly sunken area in the corner of my balcony as a latrine. The drainage system is a small pipe that carries into the gutter along the pathway below. It's all part of the Indian way of life. It's a different life, but one that I've learned to fully appreciate for what it is really worth. Must close for now, as it is getting late according to Indian time. It's almost 9:30! - Sincerely, CAROL REX - boss on her weekly ser AND THEY HUFFED and they pufied and they still didn't win a London contest for \Champion Pipesmoker of Great Britain.\ The eventual burning for 107 minutes, a new British record. inner kept his tobacco Roy-Hart Reveals Spring Play Cast MIDDLEPORT - Miss Carol Lenhardt, director of the Royalton-Hartland High School Dramatic Club has announced the following cast for the spring production, \You'rea Good Man Charlie Brown'\ which is scheduled for presentation on March 24-25 in the High School Auditorium.

McDougal's exuberance is natural and pardonable. The ~Voorheesville, N.Y., manufactu- rer stands ready to back up his boast. His company makes the biggest and fastest snowplows in the world.

But this does not seem to make much difference because what they are saying to each other is with the openess of that early childhood time, and the obvious fact that they are all really fond of each other. This is what the play is about.\ The original play was first presented March 7, 1967 in New. York City. When 'it went! into rehearsal less than a month previous there was no script, ten songs, a few long sweet scenes, a small theatre and six medium- sized actors and ten years worth of Schultz's drawings, snowfall from 26 feet of highway at a speed of 40 miles an hour and will throw the snow so far it looks like the work of a homeowner's snow blower. Another big Walter highway plow cuts through drifts eight feet deep with ease. Although these monsters sell for from $50,000 to $60,000 they are money makers for a community or a state with real snow problems, McDougal and his company's treasurer, Wil- liam Wenzel, insisted. \The real cost in snow removal is manpower - labor,\\ Wenzel said. \Much of the work has to be done at overnight rates if highways and streets are to be cleared soon,\ he said. za nis KNOWN FOR VALUES - MEN'S Rugged MARINER DENIM FLARES 4.44 - Good spurts for men, young men!

This means costly replowing of the same snow to get it off the highway, a big loss of time and a huge drivers' labor expenditure probably at overtime rates.\ Snow plows of all larger sizes are one of Walter's two main businesses. The other is airport crash and fire rescue equip- ment. It evolved into this second . specialty from the general fire truck business, which it was in before World ar II. Not too well known nowadays ttside. its chosen fields, Walter actually is the world's oldest aker of four-wheel-drive trucks and it has an exclusive center differential that McDou- gal says gives its vehicles such an advantage in snow removal that the company is embarking on a program to use it for tailormade off highway vehicles for many industries. 'This center differential pro- vides the same automatic energy distribution between front and rear wheels that an axle differential does between the wheels on either side. \On © other four-wheel vehicles the front wheels have to be disengaged frequently,\ McDou- gal explained. Walter also has an automatic locking gear in its differentials that prevents a wheel from spinning without traction in snow, sand or mud. Unusual History The Walter company has an upusual history. It was founded New York City in the 1890s to make luxury automobiles. ls{for about a decade, Walter imousines and town cars, lling for around $5,000, were admired at New York’s early automobile shows.
