Ralph Novokys Notionol Scene
How to Sell the Candidates
By RALPH NOVAK
Our politicians have not really caught on to the id
techniques so successfully employed by private industry.
Imagine, for instance, how persuasive these television
commercials might be during the presidential campaign:
Scene: The sky. A giant pie comes zooming into the
picture and George McGovern’s face is superimposed on
the screen. “I’m George,” he says, smiling wholesomely.
“Fly me to Utopia.”
Scene: A supermarket. President Nixon Is standing
near the produce counter. A woman shopper approaches
and begins feeling the tomatoes. President Nixon rushes
over and cries out, “You are causing waste and driving
up prices and creating inflation. Pllleeease don’t squeeze
the economy.” The shopper replies, “But it’s so deep-
down squeezably soft,” and Mr. Nixon just points to the
wage-price indices scattered about the store. As he does
so, however, he unconsciously begins pinching the to-
matoes. The shopper, smirking, says, “Mr. Nixon,
pllleeease don’t squeeze the economy.” Mr. Nixon smiles
sheepishly and raises his arms in the “V” for “victory.”
Scene: A country field. A beautiful young girl, just old
enough to vote is out riding with a fumbling Incompetent
dandy who is riding an elephant. As he starts to fall off,
George McGovern enters, suave with carefully trimmed
sideburns and color-coordinated cowboy outfit. He saun-
ters up and sticks the elephant in the side with a scale
model of a 500-pound bomb, sending it lumbering into the
distance with its rider hanging on desperately. As Mc-
Govern vaults up onto the back of the girl’s horse and
deftly guides it off down a primrose path, a voice says,
“McGovern. Ain’t no conservative. Ain’t just another lib-
eral McGovern is something else.”
Scene: A vast field of flowers, through which President
Nixon, dressed as Pollyanna, is skipping, singing “Blue
Skies.” An offscreen voice says, “Excuse me, sir, but
you know that is poison ivy you’re skipping through.”
Scowling suddenly, Mr. Nixon says, “It’s not nice to fool
the President,” and snaps his fingers. A flight of B-52s
comes onto the screen.
Scene: A bedroom. George McGovern is sitting on the
edge of the bed, moaning, “I can’t believe I blurted out
the whole thing.” “You did, George; you blurted out the
whole economic program,” Eleanor calls out. “I can’t
believe I blurted out the whole thing,” George repeats.
“All right,” Eleanor says. “You didn’t blurt it out; Tom
Eagleton blurted it out. If you would go out in the
kitchen and eat what I fixed for you, you’d feel better.”
McGovern goes to the kitchen, and when he comes back,
he's smiling. “Did you eat that dish of erow I left for
you?” Eleanor says. “The whoollle thing." he savs.

Read Psalm 84:
Matthew 10:27-33
Even the sparrow' finds a
home, and the swallow a nest
for herself, where she may
lay her young. (Psalm 84:4,
RSV)
While waiting at a bus stop,
I looked up at a huge highway
that was being built to span
two sections of Zurich. Under
the arch were square holes
where the lamps would be
mounted. To my surprise I saw
pigeons flying in and out of
some of them. Evidently they
had their nests in them.
We all seek a sense of secur-
ity, an assurance that we are
valued and cherished, a shel-

ter from life's storms. Is there
a\ better refuge than in the
Lord?'
Our Savior spoke lovingly of
the flowers and the little spar-
rows. These small plants and
creatures, as- well as this earth,
all other planets, the immeas-
urable universe and human be-
ings—you and I—are all parts
of God’s creation. We all fit
into His plan. His planning and
providence embrace us all.
PRAYER: Lord of our life,
we bless Thee for the comfort
of knowing that we belong to
Thee and are part of Thy eter-
nal plan. Whatever our condi-
tion may be, help us to put our
trust in Thy loving care. Prais-
ed by Thy holy name! Amen.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
God is our Father, and in Him
we find our proper dwelling

Slip a cotton glove over
the nozzle of your hose,
fastening the wrist of the
glove securely with wire or
twine, when you water your
garden or yard. Turn on wa-
ter and lav the nozzle of the
hose (inside the glove) in
various places until the area
is soaked. This gives a con-
trblled flow of water and the
plants will not be drenched
with spray but will be perky
and fresh.
