ON THE LINE
OKLAHOMA
By GENIVEE
Every doud MUST have its
'silver lining’ so we have been
taught
There are many bnamidic
cliches we might employ to
gloss over the disgraceful use of
the United States military for-
ces to whip into line one of our
sovereign states There ‘is dis-
grace on the part of that state
poo and the whole affair is a
blot on our nation
BUT— is the Mississippi prob-
lem the MAIN cause of this dis-
play of executive authority? We
wonder
Is it not possibly a smoke
screen to hide a more nefaribus
offense against the United
States Constitution which the
chief executive has himself
dubbed antiquated— written for
a different people in a different
era?
If so he could not have found
a more volatile tool for his
smoke screen— and an the eve
of general elections!
We STILL have one avenue
whereby we can make our wish-
es known to so far as the usur-
pation of power® by the execu-
tive and judidal branches of
our government are concerned
— and thot is our ballot
Oangres® has intermittently
put a damper on the power
grab by altering or defeating
the new frontier programs but
the Amerioan people have the
last word in the election of their
Congressmen and Senators
We have seen dark days in
the past three decades - but the
darkest days of all lie ahead if
we do not exert the necessary
effort to make known to our
elected representatives our will
on the major issues which come
before it
We STILL have the freedom
of speech and of the press— but
efforts are being made even
now to curtail those freedoms
If that happens - we are ‘ripe
for the picking’ - and the Soviet
Union has set their timetable
tor that picking as 1970
There are only three weeks
left to qualify your vote if you
Rave not already done so
Please do not wait until the last
minute to see if your registra'
bon is valid Contact our local
registrar Mrs Note Bruntom if
there is any doubt at all
It is particularly important
that rural Oklahomans prepare
to vote 100 in the Novem-
ber 6 election One of the five
ballots voters will receive in
that election wll be the Amend-
ment to the Oklahoma Constitu-
tion! in regard to apportionment

Chevrolet and Implement Com-

the local agency can procure
therii
The 100 bottles of perfume
