Montgomery Johnson. This is a grea( year to be a Republican. As Republicans we really have something to celebrate, Spellman said. "We can celebrate the fact that we have that great American and great Republican, Richard Nixon, in the White ltouse. We can celebrate the fact that we have another great man, Dan Evans, in t he state tiouse, and that throughout the land we have 32 Republican Governors. I am convinced that this republican leadership will become catching and, if we all work together, we can get a Republican majority in congress, in the state legislature and at the local level. "Isn't it about time that the people discovered that the Democratic party is the party of unkept, puffed-tw promises while we are the party of proven performance? "ltonoring Abe Lincoln, I think we all remember what a great success he was. Most of us have forgotten how stubborn he was and that his political career was no bed of roses. In 1832 Lincoln first ran for political office for the Illinois State Assembly and lost, but he ran for the state assembly again and won four times, lie ran for ('ongress in the printary election of 1843 and lost, but was elected to congress in 1847. ha 1855, he ran for the Senate and lost, and in 1858 he opposed Stephen Douglas for the Senate and lost. But in 1960 he was elected president of the United States. The first Republican president. Remember, Lincoln lost four major elections enough to discourage many men, but he stuck by his guns and won. Where would we have been if Lincoln were a quitter? "Where would we be today if Richard Nixon were a quitter? Nothing can be more disasterous to a party than a failure to stick to it. Nixon and Lincoln have made this very clear to us. "I'd like to say a few words about Richard Nixon. 1 think it's about time that we take pride in the fact that he's doing a superb job as our president. "'President Nixon is a real leader. He inspires confidence - his every action conveys the fact that he knows what he's doing - has complete command of the facts - when he makes a decision. "He hasn't fallen into the trap of making spectacular promises and talking in dramatic rhetoric. Lincoln said "we must not promtse what we ought not, lest we be called upon to perform what we cannot." Nixon doesn't make wild prontises, which only leave a sour taste in the people's mouths when they aren't fulfilled.

Your time in a as Mrs. Ion could tell Riggs had and was rom the waist m.Ved part of stx Years ago. None of this has kept her from being as active as possible. Besides raising two sons, she's been a professional seamstress, worked for Douglas Aircarft in California, and managed a dog kennel before moving to Shelton. Now Mrs. Riggs has to spend about 17 hours a day in an old wheel chair which is in Such bad shape3 it keeps her from being that active person she's always been and still wants to be. A new wheel chair properly equipped will cost $419.78. The Shelton Multi-Center is helping in an effort to raise that amount.

Shortly before this, officers had arrested five youths, one 17 and the other four 18, on charges of possession of marijuana in the same area around Second and Cota Sts. This arrest started when officers had contact from a man who told them he had been offered a lid of marijuana for $12 and asked officers if they wanted him to make a buy for them. Officers stated they did, according to the Police Report, and it was arranged to have an officer in plain clothes observe the buy. The two youths who had been pointed out as the ones offering the marijuana for sale left the business place where the contact was to have been made through the back door and were later observed walking toward an automobile in which three other youths were seated. Officers arrested the five and took all of them and the vehicle to the police station. • , The officer who was in plain clothes was seated in the back seat of the police car with two of the youths, who, thinking he was another prisoner, placed a package which was later determined to be marijuana, behind the front seat of the police car, according to the police report.

Rail Track id Northern Pacific Railroad officials and the Naval Facilities Engineering Command in Seattle have filed.reports that the railroad track between Bangor Ammunition Depot and Shelton is safe. The inspection by the two groups was apparently a prelude to the shipment of nerve gas over the rail line on its way from Okinawa to the Umatilla Army Ordnance Depot at Hermiston, Ore. The trackage is owned by the Navy and operated by Northern Pacific. Officials, whose attention had been brought to loose spikes on the railroad trackage, said the loose spikes were a normal occurance and would be fixed in the process of routing maintenance. Both said the tracks were within the limits of safety for tracks of that class. In Washington D.C., the Army announced plans to construct facilities to burn gas stored at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal rather than ship it to the Atlantic Ocean for disposal. !+;i:j• ~ , : < ;!i~i!!i!~i~ii?~ ~ >• is needed for the new wheel chair.
