MILTON

There has been much comment
y the citizens of Milton since the
publishing last week of the new
water rates by Town Council. Some
think the new rates are too high
but many approve of Councils ac-
ton, agreeing that the cost Of main
tenance and supplies have greatly
thought that the water system
system to meet expenses. However
there is a growing tendency in
thought that the water system
should be operated and controlled
by an independent board who
should operate the system, collect
the rents and pay the bills and re-
deem the outstanding bonds from
the receipts However, the present
charter makes it the duty of cOun-
Ill to operate the system. The
ruth nf the matter is that taxes
are insufficient to maintain town
necessities. and Council must use
the water rents to supplement the
taxes raised for town expenses.
Under the present arrangement
the water rental If a change is
desired in the present charter it
should be taken up at the next
session of the Delaware Legisla-
ture Council is doing its best un-

Prunes with zest

IF desserts are what trouble
you most about menu planning,
don't overlook the values of the
common prune.
Prunes are plentiful now, and
you can use them in many ways.
Spiced prunes make a lively
dessert, or they can be served
along with the meat. Glazed
prunes-cooked with sugar-are
an asset for the meat course. They
are particularly good with lamb.
There are many kinds of prune

ethics, human values
BY ROMANO STEARNS


Finding way of life that makes
sense in our complex atom-ized
civilization is not easy, but the
Chicago Ethical Society is making
a sincere attempt.
One of its most devoted work
ers is Mrs. Frances D. White,
executive secretary.
And she has been instru-
mental in the working out of
philosophic approach to
modern life that refuses to
shun the realities.
UNLIKE many other groups that
stress "moral values" the Ethical
Society is also concerned about
high living costs, about the war
danger, the crisis of democracy in
Greece, Spain, China.
"The Ethical Society is an inter
racial, inter-credo organization of
men, women and youth devoted
to the discovery of the way to
make ethical ideas effective in
everyday living" stated Mrs.
White, a person of gracious and
warm personality.
I'VE ACCEPT HUMAN respon-
sibility for the task of attaining
better life" explained Mrs. White.
by stressing moral values we
seek to learn together the art of
living in this new age"
Mrs. White has been a
member of the Society for
eighteen years. She works un-
tiringlY. coordinating the work
of the organization in her vol
unfeer role of executive Sec
retary; she works successfully
in her dual role of housewife
and mother of two children.
"None of us think of our duties
here as work however," laughed
Mrs. White. ''Under the able lead

100 Hear Debate
I0n British Empire

Washington's diplomatic world
was well-represented last night as
American University and Cam
bridge (EnglanO University debaters
argued merits of dissolving the
British empire. 1t was no deci-
sion.
An audience of more than TOO
was present in the auditorium OF
the United States Chamber of Com
merce Building.
Walter Gerson and Roy Robb
Ratliff, the American team, argued
that the British crown has estab-
lished a power bloc, of which the
crown is a symbol. Formal disso-
luton of the empire would have a
powerful strengthening effect of the
United Nations, which is the worlds
only hope for peace, they said.
Ian Lloyd and William Richmond
the English debaters, maintained
that Great Britain is no more an
empire than the United States,
except that the United States are
not separated by water. The unity
and order of the empire is first
step toward world harmony, they
declared, and it is important to
continue whatever experience the
empire has gained toward this end
w. P. N. Edwards, director general
of the British Information Service
was chairman. Before the debate
he had entertained both teams

ican University, gave the debaters

Election Capsule Ready
For Supersonic Flyers
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, April 12.-Comdr
Noryal B. Richards, Navy Bureau OF
Aeronautics cockpit development CO.
ordinator, said today the Navy's air
arm had evolved an election capsule
to land safely the crew of an aircraft
in trouble while flying at supersonic
speeds in the stratesphere.
Comdr. Richardson told members
of the Society of AutomotiVe En-
gineers that the Navy's answer to
the problem was to provide crew
members with the capsules which
could be pressurized and automat-
icaIy jettisoned at time when
danger threatened.
When a predetermined altitude
was reached, he said, a parachute
would open and let the capsule
down gently.
In future aircraft, he said, the
seats developed in World War II
to catapult pilot clear of the plane
would not be practical, explaining
the pilots might be torn apart or
die from lack of oxygen if elected
by such devices at supersofiic speeds
"If that didn't finish them of
they would freeze to death before
they reached the earth," he said.
The Navy's pressurized cockpit
capsule, he said, would "serve as a
life raft on the ocean and it's oc-
cupant will proceed to radio for
help, munching in the meanwhile
on stored rations"
He said the Navy already had one
installed in "one of our experimental
| high-speed aircraft"
