party in line. One prominent DO
litlcal commentator in the National
Capital says that the trouble with
the Truman policy is that it is al
ready unpopular throughout the
Nation. Well, We'll simply have to
wait and see what happens. The
Army spending has upped $40 per
cent since the Korean War. Nav
be we could lick Soviet Russia for
less money than that-On his own
grounds.
More and Better Food
The corn crop of the Nation is
always one of our most important
harvests. While corn has been
damaged by early frosts and bad
weather, the chances are that there
will be good corn food for us hu-
mans and animals this year. The
statistical gentlemen who tell us
the news have discovered that
grass is longer than usual and
there is lots of it to feed our ami
mails and fatten the beef. The
Agricultural Department in Wash
1ngton gives out a statement that
the Nations cattle breeding stock
is expanding rapidly, with the prob
abilities that live stock economy
will become most profitable. Be
Heve it or not there are figures in
the Government department in
Washington showing that the local
crop of beef adds up to about 80
million heads. That certainly is a
fine record.
Senator Taft and the Farmers
Ohio is usually Republican by a
considerable margin. But right
now the political analysts are re-
minding the politicians that Ohio
farmers let the Republican Nation
al ticket down in 1948. The political
dopsters in the National CAPITAL
are specializing on whether the Re
publicans can hold the line and
put Senator Taft across again -
certainly all the authorities in
Washington agree that Senator
Taft has made a special effort to
convince the farmers that he has
stood by them through thick and
thin during his present term.

Which Way9-GOing OF Coming
The farmers of the United States

Government, under the Truman
plan, clamps iron control on far

including the Brannan Farm Plan
that has been blessed by MI. Tru-
man. There were 100000
employed persons on vacation dur
ing July, and more still during An
gust. Unemployment figures are
now around the 5000, 900 mark. But.
61,OOO,OOO people are working. :
About 3 million Americans who
draw Old-age insurance benefits
from the Governments Social Sc
curity System are getting SAG a
month, a raise from $26. This sys-
TEN began operating Is years ago.
But in all those years the cost of
living has been climbing. Official
stattsticians say that it is now
73 per cent higher than it was in
1889. The hope of the old-age
folks has been reached, and insur-
ance checks are now caught I'D
with, and gone into percentage
points ahead of the cost of living.
But as a matter of fact, the SAG
check, this month, has only a trife
more purchasing power than S26
in 1889. But we can't carry on the
Korean War and keep on appro-
priating higher and higher. Old
age benefits are sure to fall behind
again-even before Congress de-
cides to vote another raise. = =
The earnings of workers in manu-

HOW GOVERNMENT CAN CONTROL,
EVERYTHING

The late DR.. Carl D. Thompson was. for
many years, one of the most authoritative
and aggressive spokesman for specialization
OF industry Long ago, he had this to saw
on the subject: "The movement for public
super-pOwer becomes the most vital phase
OF the public ownership movement. The con-
troll OF electric power will obviously
carry with 1t the control of the industries
OF the nation, the control of transportation.
OF mining, and agriculture. {. 1t will also
dominate and determine very largely the
domestic life of the people. Electric pow
er is the key to the coming civilization. The
struggles, therefore, to secure the public
ownership and control of this great strate-
glc resource may yet become the supreme
issue of America and the world" DR.
thompson spoke as an expert. And what he
said, in effect, is that specialization of our
electric resources is the necessary first step
IN achieving a planned, controlled economy.
This, In turn, would inevitably result in reg
lmentatim and Dictatorship fact which
has been demonstrated time and time again
in Europe. We wouldn't call it communism
but, regardless of nomenclature, it would
be blood brother to it. There can be no
question that those who favor specialization
of lndustry-even as they angrily deny that
they really are SOcialiStS-haVe seized upOn
the present world crisis to advance their
ends. We are again hearing that the all
important problem of national defense makes
mandatory vast expansion of government
activity in the power field-including, of
course, eva and the other valley authori-
ties. Yet every objective study yet made
shows that the private power industry, un-
der public regulation, is fully capable of
meeting the demand--and is prepared for
any expansion program that future devel-
Opments may require. 1t would be the most
tragic of irOnies if, while we are fighting
both hot and cold wars against Asiatic and
European communism, we gave the green
light tc communist ideologies here at home.
DR.. Thompson, who devoted a long life to
working for socialism, was 100 per cent &C
curate when he said that naturalization of
power would inevitably result in govern
mental control of industry, of agriculture,
and of all the energies and productive facili-
ties of the nation.

speculates about a third World

ports from General Macarthur. He
warns that our present war is

But he was crossed up, by our
State Department, in whose files
there is the statement that our
public must be sold the idea that

1t seems to be a fact that while

old warning has been handed down
to us for generations: "War is

in the long ago.

Every once in while good sign ap-

world. One such sign has been the cessation
Of the scare buying and boarding that fol-
lowed on the outbreak of the Korean War.
At that time, a comparatively small number
of consumers thronged into stores and
bought up just about everything in sight. The
result was temporary shortages of certain
Items. Now, for the most part, this dislo-
cation in the normal supply-demand situa-
ton has been corrected. 1t is a tribute to
the good sense of the American people-to
say nothing of patriotic considerations
only few followed the disgraceful practice
OF boarding. And it is also tribute 20 the
character of American business that. in ev
cry way possible, it discouraged scare-buv
ing and pointed out how foolish dangerous
and unnecessary it is. Business, in other
words, resisted to the best of its ability the
opportunity to make fast profit, on behalf
OF the long-term interests of the country

NEW STORES OPEN IN MILFORD


This morning two new stores will open
in the new business district development on
North East Front street. Fishers Appli-
ances, Milford's oldest appliance store, opens
its new place of business this morning with
elaborate ceremonies. At the same time an
entirely new business enterprise makes its
appearance in Milford. Feldman's Furniture
Store will occupy the large new store build
ing adjoining that of the Fisher Appliances.
The addition of these enterprises to the new
business district will do much to change the
trend of business which for the past CEN
tury has tended to expand to the south in
Milford. Emanuel's Ladies Store, a new
addition TO the Milford retail section, opened
last Friday to an appreciative buying public.
It is fine addition to the mercantile dis
trict
The new Wroten Block of three stores,
with offices on the second floor, now under
construction, is replacing the, last eyesore in
our business district. The appearance of
North Walnut street will be greatly inn
proved when it is completed. As the new
stores open in North Milford, the merchants
in South Milford will be put On their toes
to hold business which may be diverted to the
new section. Milford is growing in inn
portance in both population and as a trad
ing center. The new stores just opening,
and those soon to be opened, will add much
to our city's attractivenesS as a shopping
center for all of lower Delaware

IF YOU WANT TO VOTE REGIS


Tomorrow, Saturday, October 21st, is the
last day to register for the November cleo
tons. If you are not registered you can
not vote. Things to remember about quail
flying to vote are few and simple. If you
have not voted during the past four years
you must register. If you have moved out
OF your former voting district into new
district, you must register to vote. If you
have married, been divorced or changed
your name in any respect, you must register
to vote. If you are not certain whether your
name is on the voting lists, go to your reg
lStratlon place tomorrow and make sure. IF,
for any reason, your name has been stricken
from the voters lists it will be too late to have
a correction made on election day.
Remember this: If you want to have a
say in the management of your government
you must vote. If you are one of those COM
planners who have lot to say about poor
government, but who fails to vote; you and
you alone are to blame for the conditions
about which you complain. Regardless of
how you vote, it is your sacred duty to cast
ballot on election day. But unless you are
registered now, you cannot vote on Novem-
Der 7th. The registration places will be
open from 500 a. m. until noon and from
200 p. m: to z 100 p. m. tomorrow, Satur-
day, October 21st, in each and every cleo
ton district in the state Register if you
have not already registered-and vote in

A. "A. G. Church Launches
Program Of Evangelism
In Twin Cities

Stimulated by the realization of
the need of world evangelism, in
keeping with the movement Of the
Protestant churches toward uni
versal revival, Rev James c. Dix
on, presiding elder of the st. Paul
district of the AM.E. church, in a
meeting of the AM.E. ministers
of the Twin City area, Thursday
noon at Wayman church, Mime
apolis, launched program of
evangelism.
He stated, 1T is high time the
spiritual powers of the Almighty
God be invoked in a supreme eff
fort to thwart the schemes of
selfish men and nations in their
efforts toward world domination.
Rev. Dixon spoke further con-
corning a program outline which
had been adopted at the Chicago
NbHNONdNlOil VI AAlN lOuA vi hAoNAAN
in December 1949.
Preaching units are to be or
ganized who will journey to var
ious cities, speaking of Evangel-
ism. The elimination of this eff
fort will be an expansion drive.
Each member will be asked to con-
tribute one dollar to a building
fund for church expansion. Ground
plans have been laid for the evan
gelical advance throughout all
African methodism. Announce
ments will follow later
Among other ministers present
at the meeting were the Reverends

sley, Wendell NJ. Johnson, S. II.

the world"
Later a resolution was passed
urging administrators of both
public and private large-scsle
housing programs in every part of
the country to apply the principle
of non-segregation. we believe. 8"
the resolution stated, that the
church through its ministry, must
do all in its power to interpret to
its whole constituency and es-
pecially to those who are promot-
ing these projects, this principle of
meeting the needs of people re-
gardleSs of race. creed, color or
national origin"
DR.. Ralph w. Sockman, New
York Methodist, urged the audi
ence to practice the cell prin-
ciple,". which he said Communists
had found so effective"
"One active cell of a half dozen
persons, he added can change
the spirit of a church or commun-
ity. We need little centers of in
tense devotion within our organi-
cations to put Christ's principles
into practice in ways which we
cannot expect the crowd to at
tempt"
