Members of the Toastmaster’s
Club, who are learning to speak at
the drop of a preposition, had a
field day when Toastmaster Cecil
Wilson asked them to speak 'or
cne minute on politics. This high
ly controversial subject can make
i’most any ordinary individual
open up on a ’ine of criticism, out
;■ ou ask a group of student orators
to perform on the subject, the al
loted minute just isn’t long enough.
The subject was timely, anyway,
on the eve of an election.
* * * • * ^
There was the usual demand tor
the cutting of taxes, of course. The
foreign policy of the present ad
ministration came in for attack.
One of the embyro Demosthenes
waxed hot when he got on this
subject: “Let’s quit flexing our
muscles,’’ he said, “when we have
no muscles to show;” Another,
who apparently travels the road of
the non-partisan, said: “Neither
party has much to offer to the
people. There is too much mud
slinging in the present campaign.”
Another wanted-, a government in
that would do the most for the
people—that’s the party to put in,
he said. (Editor’s note: That’s
quite a large order, when you stop
to think of it.)
• * * * *
Another of the speakers asked
for a simplification of government.
We think he had a good point
there. Government today is, of
course, big business, spelled with
a capital “B”. A great deal of it
is brought on by the greater de
mand for services by the people.
That is an ever-widening field.
Where it will end, who can tell.
But getting back to the meeting
of the rhetoricians, some advocat
ed road improvments, and others
were loquacious on the subject of
voting for the constitution. With
the latter we are heartily in ac
cord.
*****
Before we leave the subject of
the Toastmaster’s Club, we want
to report further on it. As we have
probably mentioned before, these
sessions are educational to the lis
tener as well as the declaiming
member. Before he gets there he
may subject his wife to his oratori
cal outbursts, or he might be more
merciful, and subject the bedpost
to his multiloquence. Last week,
members listened to dissertations 4
on “Religion,” “A Biography,” and
a speech on test-tube production
of mankind on a production line
(that’s right). So you see, you nev
er know what to expect.

Police Chief Vickery is now em
ulating again, after an operation.
He hasn’t hs usual zip, but is get
ting back into the groove with his
mind turning to law enforcement
in the city and the dog problem.
The latter, he says is again loom
ing as a serious menace to the City,
with dogs running in packs every
where. A crack-down is imminent.
The Chief states he has tried to
meet this problem without making
undo trouble to dog owners, but
finds it necessary to adopt a “get
tough” policy, and bring the own
ers of dogs running loose, to
court. The quarantine on dogs will j
start Sunday, April 29. Your pet
may be picked up then if he is
running loose.

A note on the lighter side. We
quote: If it’s true that women
dress to express themselves, some
have very little to say. Speaking of
women’s costumes, the end fre
quently does not justify the
| jeans.We can’t slight the
len, so here’s an observation on
tiem: It’s strange but men will
rink about anything put before
lem, but check very carefully the
il put in their car.
We’ll withhold names on this
story: A young naval officer was
recounting his Korean war experi
ences to his grandmother and the
sweet old lady was becoming >iuite
