The Peach Creek Philosopher Finds
One Of The Campaign Slogans
Wasn't As Bad As It Sounded
Editor’s note: The Peach
Creek Philosopher on his John-
son grass farm on Rt. 3, Shiner
asks a puzzling question this
week.
Dear editar:
Back during the campaign I
was listening to two men ar-
guing politics and one of them
was making a big point out of
President Johnson’s money.
“I don’t ob-
ject to anybody
making money,”
he was saying/ty
“wish I had'
more, but I
don’t think a j||||
man in govern-
ment ought to * 'o L FJSfE
make his for-
tune in a government-regulated
business, like television and
radio.”
“Yeah?” the other one put
in, slamming his fist on the
counter. “And just what busi-
ness would you have him make
his money in?”
“Why, plenty of things. He
could make it in banking . . .
nope, that’s government-regu-
lated. Or farming . . . nope,
that’s regulated. Or . . . say,
just what business could a man
get into that ain’t government-
regulated?
He left the question un-
answered and I came on home,
stopping by the mail box to see
if my government check had
come, and have been thinking
ever since and by George I’d
like to ask you, what business
could a man get into that’s not
government-regulated?
Radio, television, banking,
farming, aviation, oil, barbering,
doctoring, teaching, hair-dress-
ing, construction . . . you go
down the list and see if you
can come up with anything out-
side maybe editing, blacksmith-
ing and poetry-writing, and not
many big fortunes are being
made in any of those.
Understand, I’m not saying
there’s anything wrong with
this, as far as I’m concerned
government is still the people
and anytime a majority wants
to get rid of a regulation or add
a new one I guess it can, and
besides all regulations aren’t
what they’re cracked up to be.
Take this Johnson grass farm
out here. I suppose you could
say it’s government-regulated
in some ways, but me and the
government both haven’t made
much dent in it, one way or the
other.
Even the government itself
is government - regulated. We
might as well get used to it.
Even Khrushchev thought he
wasn’t government - regulated,
but it turned out he was.
Yours faithfully,
J. A.

line and long sleeves tapering
to points at the wrists. The con-
trolled skirt was enhanced by
garlands of lace, then falling
into a chapel train. Her triple-
tiered veil of pure silk illusion
fell from an exquisite crown of
pearls. For her bouquet she
chose white carnations centered
with a white orchid.

liba of Victoria, brother of the

bride, chose a navy blue dress
and black accessories. Mrs. Ko-
liba, mother of the bridegroom,
was attired in a blue dress and
black accessories. Each wore
a white carnation corsage.
Miss Darlene Liberda, or-
ganist, played the traditional
nuptial music accompanied by
the choir.
Immediately following the
ceremony a reception and din-
ner were held in the K.J.T. Hall.
Large arrangements of gladioli
and stock decorated the main
table. The bride’s table was
laid with a white satin cloth and
centered with a three tiered
white wedding cake. The bride’s
bouquet also graced the table.
Mrs. Dorothy Hyek of Edna,
sister of the bride, served the
cake and Miss Emelia Kovar,
served the punch. Mrs. Edmund
Mokry presided over the bride’s
book.
For their wedding trip the
bride chose a sapphire blue suit,
black accessories and her cor-
sage was the orchid lifted from
her bridal bouquet.

ed Victoria College. She is em-
ployed as a medical secretary
