and Harlan Jester. All Of then
stated they believed the city ol
Milford needed the services of both
Nh. Adam and Mr.. johnson. and ex-
pressed their hope that the situa-
ton could be Iemedied by medita-
tion.
Councilman James Humes. from
the Second Ward, offered a motion
that there be a period Of 80 DAYS
granted in which both men could
get together and reach an amica-
Die agreement, but both parties
were apparently reluctant to agree
TO this, Mr.. Adam, because he said
II would only pr0long the agony
Ior another month, and Mr.. John
son, because he seemed to be un-
able to see an amicable agreement
tnthe ofing, although at this point
ne did admit thai the ten-day dis
missal notice had probably been
given too hastily and that more time
was warranted in view of Mr.. Ad-
ans long period Of service with
the City.
Mr.. Humes then offered a mo-
ton that the action taken bv Mr.
johnson in dismissing Mr.. Adam
not be sustained by City Council
Mr.. Alfred Nutter, from the Third
Ward, seconded this motion. Then
followed an interminable second
debate on the question, with the
supporters of Mr.. JohnsOn's action
maintaining that the City Manager
would be shorn Of his authority TO
dismiss and hire if such action was
taken, and that he should be sus-
tained in his action. Mr.. Adams !
supporters stated that this partic-
ular action would have no bearing |
on further actions by the City Man |
ager, and urged full support for /
Mr.. Adam. The. Mayor, Mr.. Evans, !
stated that inasmuch as he had not ]
through the testimony offered seen (
any solid reason for Adams dis /
thought the action taken by
Mr.. Johnson should be rescinded,
and believed that the majority Of
the citizens Of Milford felt the same
way. that Mr.. Adam, had to his,
Mr.. Evans, satisfaction, answered
the charges made against him, and
in view of Mr. Adams excellent
working record. the city could i'm
afford to lose such a man, espe-
,ially when il was daily be oming
harder to procure unskilled labor,

Several members Of the audience
then expressed themselves 81 tbe
feeling that the vote should not u
taken, but that Mr.. Adam and Mr.
johnson should be allowed Ia pei
together and iron out their difTienls
ties for the good Of the city.
It was also brought out al this
point that it was apparent that =
great deal Of the present friction
in City Government was being
brought about BY the apparent dif-
ferences among Council on whether
or not Milford should continue to
buy current from Delaware Power
and Light or resume manufacture
of their own power. Several pres
ent urged Council to bring this mat
ter to head, should present the
question to the taxpayers for ref
erendum. Mr.. Evans stated that he
thought that was fine suggestion.
and he as one with an open mind on
the question, would welcome such
a referendum, and would be glad 10
abide by the decision Of the elec-
torate. Mayor Evans further stated
that the power committee had been
working over a year on the prob
lem. but still did not apparently
have a plan ready to submit to the
voters.
At i've minutes to midnight the
vote was finally taken, and the ac-
tion of City Manager johnson was
sustained 1--WE to three. The vote
was as follows: To sustain the ac-
tion Of the City Manager, Haughey
Jewell, Kirby, Peterman and sills. I

PLANTATION Of the selection of Dover
TO the committee:
"Our first requirement for an
aerial port of embarkation. III
course, is that it be as close as
possible to the theatre in which we
are going to operate. This, of
course, is on the East Coast. and
It is also south of the snow belt.
so that it interferes with our on
eratiOns as little as possible.
The next requirement is that. it
De close to a seaport OF embarka-
tion in order to get flexibility. The
priorities that are given to us by
the cargo lifts are given to us bv
the theatre commander. One day
he may want blood. and the next
Gay he may want bullets. We have
t. be able to pull out OF the seaport
the things that happen to be really
critical. So, we require that an aeri-
al port be close to a seaport for
the purpose Of fexibility of opera
tions."
In response to question from
Representative Skies (D-Fla). as to
what base is row being used for
this purpose, Colonel Rogers re-
piled:
We are using WestOver at the
moment, ah5 it is scheduled to be
used completely by the Strategic

your purpose than Dover?" asked
Skies.
Colonel Rogers replied: "Yes. !

Air Force officers. said that Dover

rary installation, and that all hOus-
ing construction will be on a 10
year life expectancy basis.
Not In Permanent Bases
They said that this is because
Dover is not included in the per-
nanent bases authorized BY Con-
sress in 1850. but emphasized that
status Of the base may be changed

Modern MARRIAGE
One Who Does Unjust Things
Is Always Harmed by Doing Them
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

"How." Mrs. M. wants to know,
"does one deal with an aged
mother diving alone) who has
always dominated her family and
who now takes delight in needing
her children beyond endurance
while they (due to their strict
upbringing) are afraid to defend
themselves. although all Of them
are middle-aged?
Should we go to see her regu-
larly? She insists on weekly visits
of four hours, which hours she
spends berating every one she
knows and condemning the times
in which we live! If we miss one
week or cut one visit short. she
either won't speak to us or lashes
out with her tongue. creating q
scene that wrecks us for days and
makes us unfit for our own fam
lily to live with!
"Or should we visit her at our
convenience. trying to ignore the
scenes, while she tells all the
neighbors and old friends of the
family how ungrateful we are and
how shamefully we neglect her?
Sounds hopeless, anyway I put
it, doesn't it, DR.. Popenoe? We
certainly need help"
There are two principles in
volved in such a situation, Mrs.
NJ, and they need to be considered
by many thousands of families,
I'm sorry to say.
One Of these principles is that
no one is benefited by injustice.
It is bad for you but it is also bad
for your mother. One who does
unjust things is always harmed
by doing them. The longer she
continues such behavior, the more
she is damaging herself.
The second principle, an axiom
