was elected President of the
Dell Valley Co-op at the
membership meeting held in
the Community Building De-
cember 12. Doyle Zilerwas
elected Vice President and
Larry Karr, Secretary-Treas.
Frank Brownfield and Guy
McCoy were re-elected as
Directors and Gene Lutrick
became a new director. M.
R. Collier and Doyle Ziler
are hold-over directors whose
term had not expired.
Refreshments were served
by Lowayne Kasparian, Betty
McCoy and Dorothy Collier.
The latest bone of conten-
tion had to do with whether
county funds should be used
to aid indigent families of
striking copper workers. This
nation-wide strike, now in its
fifth month, is an economic
quagmire for the copper indus-
try. More than 20 unions are
involved and, as strike funds
run low, some 55, 000 idled
workers are presenting a miss-
ive relief problem in towns
and cities affected by the shut-
down.
The food stamp program
here was made available to s
strikers several months ago;
but when welfare agencies
found their resources dwind-
ling as more and more strikers'
families went on full-time re-
lief, smoldering criticism
burst into flame.
Why, taxpayers were asking,
should the "voluntary" unem-

WE CONFESS TO IGNORANCE about the special functions of the
County Commissioners Court, but this court, as presently constitu-
ted, has a comic-opera quality that Gilbert and Sullivan might
have envied.
Its cast consists of a presiding county judge and four commission-
ers -, all fine, upstanding politicians who hold the public interest
second only to their own - but each, in his way, a prima donna.
This must explain why agreement among them is so hard to come
by and why most of the court's meetings end up in spectacular hass-
les that at times approach physical combat.
ployed be permitted to ex-
haust welfare funds to which
they were not entitled? Why
weren't the unions taking care
of these people? Why were
they preventing strikers from
taking outside jobs that were
offered?
These were good questions -
but the county's general assis-
tance agency didn't have the
answers. Word went out that
the agency was so "broke" it
couldn't carry the load through
December unless additional
funds were immediately forth-
coming.
Whereupon, the Commiss-
ioners Court went into action
with some of the fastest fi-
nancial footwork ever seen
in these parts. It was a case
of "robbing Peter to pay
Paul" and some department
heads, called upon to turn
over funds earmarked for oth-
er purposes, weren't happy
about it. Neither were the
two so-called "conservative"
commissioners (as opposed to
the two more "liberal" mem-
bers). But before dissent ex-
ploded into disaster the money
was raised.
El Pasoans become exasper-
ated at times over the Comm-
issioners' comic squabbling,
but that the court is also cap-
able of high drama on occa-
sion was demonstrated short-
ly after the money-changing
deal, when the county judge
addressed a meeting of stri-
kers, union leaders and assort-
ed welfare recipients, at Lib-
erty Hall.
Looking remarkably like
Santa Claus, minus the beard
and the paunch, the judge re-
ceived a standing ovation when
he announced in ringing tones
that there are no "second-
class citizens" in El Paso coun-
ty and then broke the glad ti-
dings that funds had been
"found" to take care of every-
body through the holiday sea-
son. There wasn't a dry eye in
the house.
Which was all right with us. •
It's Christmas, isn’t it?
cows and 4 horses."
The "other woman" has an unfair advantage; he always sees her
hair in curls, never in curlers.
The "other man" in a political triangle—the outsider wanting in-
has a similarly unfair advantage; the public never sees him bleed-
ing from repeated rebuffs.
The political challenger can preen for the cameras, renounce all
unpleasantness, protest the status quo,demand improvements--with-
out being specific.
The Bobby Kennedys and the
Eugene McCarthys are the
"political home-wreckers"
who can woo the voter with
flattery, compassion and pro-
mises.
This puts the incumbent
President in the unenviable'
position of having the run
against Superman.
Former President Truman
kept on his desk a printed re-
minder to himself and friends
that "The buck stops here ! "
Challengers, on the other
hand, can feint and dodge
and duck and hide and hit
and run.
A Eugene McCarthy cang
tlie ball and head for the goal
side-stepping tacklers with
all manner of deception and
fancy footwork. If he sees
himself about to get buried alive he can lateral the ball to a Bobby
Kennedy, and thus an inexhaustible succession of tireless opponents
can keep an exhaustible President on the defensive.
If the incumbent President has the advantage of his incumbency,
he also has the vulnerability of a large target exposed on four sides.
These words are not meant to disparage the no-ho Ids-barred tra-
dition of intra party politics but to remind enlightened voters that
criticism, to be valid, must be constructive.
The shabbiest device presently employed by the Kennedys and the
McCarthys and the Fulbrights and the Gavins and the Hartkes and
the McGoverns, et al, is their several variations on the theme that
"our President should seek a negotiated end to this war. "
The fact is--and they know it—our President has been begging
Hanoi for any kind of negotiations at any level anywhere.
Or you will hear others ot the "outs" insist that "our President
should demand that our Asiatic allies carry more of the burden of
this war. "
Our President, directly and indirectly, has exhausted every appli-
cation of his considerable persuasive powers to try to secure some-
thing more than token assistance from our allies. They are not in-
i te rested.
For the continuing political debate to be constructive, American
voters must not surrender to selfish suitors. Demand that the candi-
date wooing you put himself on record as favoring prompt and total
military destruction of this enemy's war-making potential. Or:
Retreat, give up, pull out, bring our boys home--as the French
did. Or else:
They must be willing to admit that they stand precisely where the
President stands--ashamed to lose and afraid to win.
