There is no surprise in the slate selected; nothing to indi- cate that if continued in power, the present members of the Village Board would l;e leas likely than in the past to he rubber stamps for (he Republi- can overlords of i\assau County. * And We know how the rub- ber stamp works. Didn't The Ijeader put in the lower bid for the designation as the offi- cial village paper at the. reor- ganization meeting last April? And what was the result? De- ppito the fact'-Uiat LuHjbuUHem* l*ers of the board had shown In many -ways the%_ as nidi- vidualS were -friendly W our interests, they voted unanjmoua- ly t<> designWe±Wothef publi- cation, And we knew Weeks in advance thai we were nut in line for the designation, merely submitted a hid to put the board on record. Had The Leader been willing to print the village's legal notices gra- Us. .the result would have been the same. We cite this as one instance of the remote control of village affairs. It shows that members of the board dare not follow their own judgment as to what is best for the village's inter- ests. Theirs is not to reason why, but blindly . follow on dere.

Came near not being any col- umn this week folks. Maybe some of you wouldn't have missed it, but Susie would. She is my best little reader, and I just can't disappoint Susie. So here goes, but, as I started out to say there came near not being no column 'because I was frozen up. The office was cold and we are sav- ing oil down home, even the sheets were cold when I crawled in each night. And my figure Just alnt upholstered for thaw- ing. When I freeze its solid. Gosh every time I think of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Snyder going to Florida for keeps T weep tears that ain't never seen a crocodile. Oh well I shouldn't envy anyone a second honeymoon. And there's Ann over at Vieb- rock's. Her boy friend has gone back to his Army post at At- lanjic City and shes sad. And Joan is sad from seeing Ann sad. %ci\Ts^ die\ rTa^Ie^f^petsori rvc' seen around Vees this week was Mr. Eckhardt, the feed and coal man. Course the cold wenther would make a coal smile, but, you just oughts seen the meal Mr. Eckhardt had in front of him. That would a made anybody smile, ' Here T thought Mrs. Frisch of Jack and Jill was new at this Mother business only to find out there is another. Trouble there was I can always get along with babies but when they get to be seven years old and smart, like Anne FrLsch is they look me over too carefully. Jim Smith, the meat man has been packing his store because he had beef. Hamburgers, for Instance, with less than fifty per cent fat in 'em. Now in these days, that's something. Since this meat shortage you been fry- ing hamburgers and giving fif- ty per cent of It to the fat drive, and you have been doing that, haven't you, saving all your fat? The boss let his wife fall down on the snow and ice right in front of the church. Now, he shouldda had her tightly by the arm, after all these years and the worst that coulda happened then would have been they both would havo-...fallen, with maybe him at the bottom.

AND YOU CAN ONLY\ FARM. .IN WARM WEATHER. That's what I'm living for, folks, warm weather. Maybe you've gathered as much from what I've written so far. Think I'll stop right now and run over to Spitzler's and' get real close to that pot bellied stove he has in the middle of his store. Here I go. Bye now. Susie's Beau.
