George Palmer is on vacation. His guest columnist
this ueelt is George Brandt, sales representative for
\----
Hiram Walker Distributors. Inc.
How does one “Pinch Hit” for George Palmer
white he is enjoying a vacation? Thinking it over 1
have come to the conclusion that there are two things
1 can discuss. Both are of great interest to me — one
thing is my business and the other is travel.
Every American has a certain amount of wander
lust in him. When vacation comes near
he usually spends considerable time
with his family discussing various
places that they can visit. Almost
everyone has a desire to spend their
vacation anywhere but at home.
A few years ago, when I made my
first visit, to Canada, it was on a busi
ness trip primarily to see how Canadi
an Club was made. Walkerville, Ontar
io/ Canada is right across thte river from Detroit and I
can recommend this area to anyone who is looking for
a different place to visit on a vacation.

If you do happen to tour up this way, Hiram
Walker & Sons extends a cordial invitation to you to
go through theii great distillery where the world fa
mous Canadian Club is made. Let me tell you something
about Canadian Club whisk}'.
It is a whisky that is a product of Canada, manufac
tured in Canada under government supervision. The
distinctive taste of Canadian Club is due mainly to
its lightness of body which keeps the flavor of the
rye or grain or malted grain from dominating the
bouquet “Blended Canadian Whisky” on the label
means the bottle contains all whisky, in the US. sense
of the word—not whisky and neutral spirits. It is a
common practice in Canada to show on the label the
age of the youngest whisky in the blend which, in the
case of Canadian Club, is six years old.
If you happen to be traveling during your vaca
tion through-tbe-Middle West, I recommend you stop
to see Hiram Walker’s Peoria, Illinois, Distillery. This
is the world’s largest beverage distillery. Here its
famous 8 year old Walker’s Deluxe Bourbon, Ten High
Bourbon, Imperial Blended Whiskey, Walker’s Gin and
Vodka and Cordials are made. Hiram Walker’s Peoria
Distillery extends a welcome to you to go through its
plant.
For the World traveller invitations are extended
to you to visit our four distilleries in Scotland, includ
ing the one in Dumbarton which is the largest grain
distillery in Europe. One of our new and popular
scotches — Macnish V.L. — is made here. Other
Hiram Walker distilleries are located in Buenos Aires,
Argentina.
Conservative Republican
sup-
porters of Sea. Barry Goldwater
want the GOP to become “The
white man’s party.” Jackie Rob
inson has charged in The Satur
day Evening Poet.
“The senator’s friends want a
white-Republican White House,”
said Robinson as he described
what he called the “striking par
allel” between Black Muslims
thinking and that of Goldwater
supporters.
Muslims, he maintained, seek
some sort of earthly black heav
en. . .a separate black society
within a separate black state
Some of the Goldwater cooserv
atives proclaim a goal ironically
similar. And to get what they
want, both plan to shunt the Ne
gro to the side.”
Goldwater Republicans, com
mented the former baseball star,
are tantalized by the idea that
they ran win a national election
without the Negro vote, without
emphasizing the explosive, em
otion-charged civil-rights issue.
Their reasoning both angers and
puzzles me.”
Robinson, who campaigned for
Richard M. Nixon In the 1960
presidential election, recalled that
soft-pedaling” of the civil-rights
issue was largely responsible for
Nixon’s defeat Nixon Indicated
that he “had written off the Ne
gro vote" and Negro voters re
taliated by writing off Mr. Nixon,
Robinson said.

I have used up most of this column talking about
ray two favorite subjects — the whisky business and
travel. I do wish to, give George Palmer a “pat on the
back” for the great job that he is doing on the “Camp
Fund” affairs and ask that each one of you continue
giving your great support to this most worthy cause.
Countless youngsters soon will be thanking you for
their opportunity to escape some of the summer’s
