There is virtue in duty well done
And that virtue was exemplified
Saturday by Clint Pierce, ol Han-
over.
Coming up the sups ol the Mi-
lam Courthouse Saturday evening
with the Hanover election returns
ol the Democratic primary, he was
assisted by his wife
"Why do you continue doing the
job ns election judge when it works
kind ol a hardship on you. Mr
Pierce?" asked an onlooker
Well. I just wanted to make it
an even number of years that I
have been managing the elt .'lion
box at Hanover. ’’ Pierce replied
“This makes the 40tn year "

lot ■ 101
There was the usual large gath-
ering of cars around the courthouse
square as election returns were
broadcast over a PA system
Because there were fewer pre-
cinct candidates, there was a lot
less door - to - door campaigning
in the Cameron area than in 1958
But interest in the returns still
was evidenced by the hundreds of
cars that turned the square.

This is a rather typical devel-
opment in political interest across
the nation. Seems that we are in-
terested in the results, like dis-
interested onlookers at a Friday
night TV fight.
When we have a nation ol dis-
interested onlookers, favoring TV
spectacles over the "real life" in-
cidents that form the basis ol
TV material, we have an excellent
situation lor Premier Khrushchev
and his boys.
A man who takes the interest
in public service as Mr* Pierce
does sets a good example for us
all. I hope we don't see the day
when Mr. K will walk up the Cap-
itol steps with election returns in
his pocket because of our disinter-
est.
