To make matters worse, the candidates are being sold like detergent, soap, and floor wax. I They have made an impression on a lot of people. I know three people who are going to vote for Mr. Clean !

My neighbor didnt agree with the candidate. But to make matters worse,, the dinner didnt agree with him. In fact, my neighbor said that the candidate reminded him of the bottom section of a double boiler. The guy got all steamed up without knowing what was cooking! Thats what you call a rocking chair politician . , . a lot of action, but no progress! ' Its probably true, because most candidates are like and take a long time wives.

POLLS FOR POLS Reminds me of the time a pollster called a farmer InfHeber Valley. The pollster wanted to know how many in the family, and their political leanings. The farmer said Ma was Republican. Im Democrat. The baby is wet, the cow dry, and the cats on the fence. It was the same farmer who was being taken to a political rally by one of the big candidates. The candidate thought he could get a lot of votes by being seen with the popular farmer. The candidate picked up the farmer in his big air conditioned car. They had gone about a block when the farmer asked the politician to stop the car. Air conditioning was new to the farmer. Its turned so cold, I think I should go back home and cover my tomatoes! .

Abortion Mail Held P.O. ' Violation A New York organization which has solicited abortions in Utah is violating federal law against mailing matter concerning abortions. Atty. Gen. Vernon B. Romney, who had sent an inquiry to the postmaster general, was so informed Wednesday by I. F. Kardos, acting assistant general counsel, U.S. Post ' Office. Kardos wrote, in part: We are aware of this orga- - nization and have asked the chief postal inspector to mves-tigat- e the company and its operation. Obviously this organization is soliciting business because of the New York abortion law which became effective in July of this year. . However, since the federal law, 18 U.S. Code 1461, prohibits the mailing of any matter concerning abortion, it is our view that this organization is in violation thereof. They are local residents and should be proud of our valley and vay of life. It is their duty to let their bosses know that the people of Utah want and expect something better.
