From The Files of The Seminole Producer

Representative David Boren today released the results of his questionnaire printed in three newspapers in Seminole County and returned by citizens. Boren said over 400 persons replied.

We ask, in all seriousness, after reading a monthly publication story on “the rise and fall of Fred Harris.”

That isn’t the title of the story we read, but it should be. That is what a majority off us Common Folks get from the story. Fred’s rise and fall is its principal subject.

There are pictures of a clean cut, well-groomed young man and his charming wife. He was a State Senator. There are pictures of the well-groomed young man, with a sharp haircut, hair parted in the middle, and no mustache or beard as he talked with Lyndon Johnson after going to Washington as United States Senator.

There is a picture of a U.S. Senator holding a Negro child in his lap as he sat on the Kerner Commission investigating ghettos and civil rights, as United States Senator. It was again a well-groomed and cleanshaven Fred Harris.

There was a picture of Senator Fred Harris in a cowboy hat as he campaigned Oklahoma during the summer to defeat Bud Wilkinson for a six-year term in the U.S. Senate. He was well-groomed and clean shaven. And then in a couple of years we see a shaggy-haired Fred Harris – and we heard this shaggy- haired Senator mothing foolish things about supporting marches on Washington and on college campuses by dissidents.

And then later we see this same Oklahoma Senator sprouting a drooping mustache and attacking successful American business firms and seeking to “break up” with GM and any other successful giants which had made the USA the world’s greatest and freest nation ever known to history.

Yes, we could say that bushy heads and shaggy hairy faces have bad effects on human beings. Fred Harris is a current and well-documented example.

Fred and the group of dissidents, demonstrators, communists, and derelicts we see on teevee day by day demonstrate that long hair, bushy faces, frousy and unkempt appearance is closely associated with excessive hair on heads and faces. -oOo Slants – Lena Mae Smith being thrilled about answering the telephone to find that the caller’s voice is no other than Governor David Hall who asks for Edna Mae Phelps, one of Mrs. Smith’s beauty patrons… This had happened several times… Bret Flatt making an excellent cub scout report.
