)EAR FRIENDS
How did you make
out on Tuesday
49, night when we had
- - .------z dusk to dawn
blackout? 1 expect we will hear
of some bruised shins, and so
forth, but it will be of little
consequence, because the prac-
tice was good for all of us, and
I'VE know just what a real. dark
might can be like. 1t is salts
flying that all things worked as
they should. 1t gives us a
feeling that in an emergency,
all would not be confusion. The
will to- cooperate has been so
marvellous, it is a thing upon
which we can comment very
favotabIy.
Reports from the playground
.arefthat the people, young and
older folks, have enjoyed the
/ bathing, and the recreation,
during these torrid days be-
syond even the expectation of
, the enthusiastic Mayor. 1t has
been a safe place for the boys
and girls to go during the day,
for there is supervision for
them, and in the evening, the
deck of the pavilion has made
an enjoyable place for the
young set to dance. There
could not have been a more
opportune time for its opening
than this summer, when we are
all compelled to stay closer to
our abodes. The thanks Of all
go to those who labored well
and long, for the ultimate bath
ing beach and playground.
The picture, Reap the Wild
Wind" brought out the folks
who enjoy what is good in mo-
vies. Even the advance in price
for this picture did not make
any difference in the crowd.
There are many who would
rather see one top rated pic
ture than two of lower rating.
1t is always a puzzle to me
how some scenes can be made
so realistic. 1 know you are
all thinking of the giant squid
that fought the divers in the
picture, causing the death Of
one man. Those who take their
pictures seriously had cause to
sit on the edge of their seats
until that was over. But it was
all very good entertainment.
You must all wish with me for
more of the same quality.
Two deaths in the last few
days which brought regret to
Milfordians were the passing Of
DIR. Paris T. Carlisle in Phila-
delphia, and Mrs. Henry D.
Boyer of Smyrna, who died at
Rehoboth. DR.. Carlisle was a
useful man in this community,
and his professional and sym
pathetic help will be missed.
Mrs. Boyer was a frequent Wis
itor of Mrs. Harry Grier's and
had many friends here. Hers
was a brilliant mind and she
gave many of the clubs of the
state the benefit of her intelli-
gence. These two useful citi-
zens were well passed their

three score years and ten, and
leave a world that is vastly
different from that in which
they spent most of their lives.
We hear from relatives of
Lieutenant Jack Burris that he
is settled with his lovely bride
at Newport Beach, California,
a few miles from Santa Ana,
the West Coast Army Airport,
where Jack is stationed. Theirs
was a long and hot drive by
motor to their present home.
They had a break enroute when
they stopped at Indianapolis to
call on. DR.. and Mrs. David
Boyd, she; who was the former
Miss Kay Singer. These nice
young people leave back East
many friends and relatives
who are wishing them well.
1t was good to catch up with
the news of Mrs. Broddus
Jones, the former Margaret
Anne Clements, who is living,
you remember at Sweet Water,
Texas, with her good husband
and little Virginia Anne, now
five months old. For the past
two weeks her brother Charles,
who is known locally as Bus
ter, has been with her and they
have enjoyed their visit to-
gether talking about us folks
back home. Charles is now
Technical Sergeant and his
next base will be at Blythe,
California. Margaret Anne has
known hot weather, too, since
she was here, but it is the dry
kind, and not humid like we
have it. These messages from
former natives are pleasant
and Feassuring as to their well
fare.
Old friends who come back to
us in summer time, are always
welcomed. Pauline and Mort
Browning and Anna Scott re-
turp each year to open the
homes of their parents, and it
is nice to see these residences
once again with" lighted win
dows. The Brownings are busy
people in the music world of
New York City. Miss Scott
spends the winter months in
Elizabeth, New Jersey; where
she is the principal of one of
the city schools. A return to
quiet streets, and less active
life, stores up strength and
energy for the busy months.
We are glad to have them for
the short time they can stay
here. In passing, we might
mention that Dick Browning
has a part Of the very success
full Broadway show, This Is
The Army" You do remember
that he is the son, of the Brown
ings.
This is all the news for the
week. The slogan of some pa
per, "You Make the News. We
Print It" can be applied to you,
readers. Let me know what
you do.
Always the same, ~

dry plateaus OF the altiplano, grow
such hardy crops as potatoes, hay,
barley, and guinea, q small grain

consumption.
The Bolivians raise cattle at vari-
Gus levels of their stairstep coun-
try, but the chief livestock region
is in the lower mountain valleys.
In the high upper valleys and be-
yond, even mules do not thrive.
There the camellike llama serves as
both beast of burden and as source
of coarse wool-often even for native
food and fuel. Other typical crea-
lures of the Andean slopes are the
related long-haired alpaca and the
vicuna tprized for its fine WOOL, and
the soft. silky-furred chinchilla,
valued for the rarity of its pelts in
world markets.

More than half of Bolivia's people
are pure-blooded Indians; third
are Of mixed Indian and white
blood; while the remaining small
percentage is chiefly of Spanish and
other European stock.
AS in the other Andean republics.
most OF the European population is
concentrated in the metropolitan
centers. In the rural settlements,
the higher one climbs the more
purely Indian the people become.
Practically all the inhabitants are
Indians in the regions around pic
turesque Lake Titicaca, the Peru
vian-shared lake of the clouds

This part of the country was over

modern answer to the problem has
been the airplane, with service now

Bolivia are its mountains and its
minerals. Most of Bolivia's three
and a half million people live in the
upper valleys and on the high,
windswept plateaus that form the
southwest third of this landlocked
country. There are found the re-
Dublic's two capitals-La Paz and
Sucre. La Paz, the working head
quarters of the administrative and

ment population 287 ,03O) is nearly
$4,000 feet above sea level. The

is the seat only of the supreme
court, is $500 feet high.

Farming for Subsistence.
Overshadowed by the mining &C
tivities, farming in Bolivia is i'm
portant chiefly as means of sub
sistence. Much of the national food
supply must be imported. Manu-
featuring is still relatively of little
Importance there, although num-
Der OF small industries are increasing
production in such varied commodi-
ties as soft drinks and cement.
Bolivia is a big country, with many
different regional divisions. More
than one and half times the size
OF Texas, it is broken up into a
succession of levels, on which one
can take his choice of climate
from tropical heat to perpetual
mountain snow.
North and east of the more de-
veloped Andean districts spreads a
vast frontier country, made up
largely of the plains and jungles
of the Amazon and other river
systems. These areas are rich in
all sorts of timber, and contain
stretches OF fertile soil capable of
yielding quantities of tropical prod
uets, such as rubber, sugar cane,
bananas and vanilla. In the low
southeast areas, including the Chaco
territory won in the peace settle
ment with Paraguay after the war
OF the 1930's, are considerable oil
deposits.
Where farming is carried on, Bo-
llvia's production is arranged almost
literally by shelves. On the lower
levels are found quinine and rubber,

Cargo Plane Contract
Held voided Because
OF Pacific War Needs
Navy Spokesman Says
Nash Agreement SheIved
For Combat Types
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Nov. 2l.-A Navy
spokesman said today that an i'm
mediate need for more combat
planes and fast patrol bombers in
the Pacific war theater had led the
Government to cancel its contract
with the Nash -Kelvinator Corp.
for flying cargo-boats, one of the
Navys largest commitments for that
type craft.
The statment came from Rear Ad-
miral E. M. Pace, jr, director of
the Navy Departments Materials
Division.
THAT means that some of the ia
cilities available through Nash-Kel-
vinator for flying boat production
will have to be turned over to con-
tractors who are already at work on
the types of planes we now need in
order to expand their output" the
admiral explained.
Facilities Can Be Converted.
while cargo carriers are still i'm
portant, first we must give the men
on the firing line the planes and
weapons they require for actual
fighting" he said.
Admiral Pace said Nash-Kelvina-
tors facilities were readily adapta-
BILE to the change-over, and that for
this reason the Navy approached
the corporation first with the re-
vised production plan.
George Mason, president of Nash
Kelvinator, said the corporations
new plant in New Orleans, now al
most completed, would be made
available to another manufacturer.
The contract cancellation will cause
temporary delay in a part of the
firms war production program, he
said, and added:
The immediate needs OF our
armed forces must be given the
green light over everything else"
Firm Makes Engines Now.
Some of the facilities set up for
flying boat sub-assemblies will be
converted to the manufacture of
combat aircraft engines and pro-
pellers, increasing schedules for two
products which already are being
turned out by the corporation and
avoiding any permanent dislocation
OF labor in affected plants.
The Nash-Kelvinator Corp. was to
have manufactured Vought-Sikor-
sky cargo planes. Unlike recent
Army cargo plane assignments
which provided for plastic and ply
wood construction, the Navy con-
tract called for the use of large
quantities of aluminium, officials
said.
