ST. TROPEZ, France.-Down among
the forests of aperitif glasses on the
Riviera Coast you can still
g.. hear the girls declare
"He must be q millionaire"
But the chances are that If you follow
the girls glances, the millionaire. this
year, will look more like a sardine fisher
man down on his luck than the man
who broke the bank at Monte Carlo.
This is the result of "the new sim
plicity"-the latest fad Of the romping
rich now making holiday on the shores
of the Mediterranean. For miles there
isn't dinner jacket to be seen, hardly
an evening dress. Film stars. actors,
ambitious hoStesses. anxious to be hailed
as in the smart set, go about in old
SlackS and sweaters or crumpled shirts.
The millionaires, unshaven and bare
foot, fetch sighs Of admiration from the
onlookers on the promenade. For those
who have a few millions more than
the rest (the franc has become so de-
valued that it takes Millionaire to inn
press the French nowadays), it is chic
to be seen strolling a Mediterranean
water front with a bottle of vim rouge
dangling from one hand and taking
quiet Swig now and then.
With more than / million Parisians
surging down for the annual holiday
season, plus hordes Of foreign tourists,
the Riviera is the tranquil mans dream
of purgatory.
From Mention to Marseille. hotels are
crammed. The holiday makers know it
but still they come on. Dreary little
villas four miles from the sea are
snapped up at $50 week. Within an
hour or two of breakfast. every stretch
of sand from Cannes to CasSis Is rushed
as though it were a gold-bearing con-
cession-and nobody lets go of his stake
until dark.
For those who can afford the swagger
hotels of Monte Carlo, Nice and Cannes,
there are private beaches" enclosed by
palisades where there isn't more space,
but only the satisfaction of knowing
that one is being jammed alongside 1.-THE
right people,"
Nightly the coveted spare bed on the
hotel billiard table is being fought over
or bargained for. All along the coast
are dotted townships of campers-the
homes Of scores of thousands who are
determined not to let the most miserable
discomforts deprive them of their Medi-
terranean sun.
For the smart set." the place to be
seen in this year is here at st. Tropez.

Politics in Greece

In any international relationship Of mutual
respect and integrity, the task of intervening in
a sovereign country's domestic politics is diff
cult and unenviable one.
The American Ambassador in Athens, John
Peurifoy, with the announced support of the
State Department. intervened last week in the
Greek political picture to the extent Of express
ing the opinion that change in the govern
ment might help that nation. Hardly more than
48 hours later the Greek Parliament had given
a narrow vote of confidence to the existing
coalition government of Premier Nicholas Plas-
tiraS.
In this instance the American intervention
not only has failed to accomplish its purpose
of forcing change in government; it also has
raised storm of indignant protest in the Greek
press.
The basis for Mr. Peurifoys intervention is
that the United States has great stake in the
political stability of Greece through our extensive
economic and military assistance-now totaling
about $25 billion. For several days prior to the
showdown the single-house Greek Parliament
had been engaged in pickering debate among
the six parties over various aspects of eco
nomic military and political problems.
The important political faction opposing
the Plastiras coalition-consisting of the leftist
Progressive Union and the Liberals-is the OPP
position Greek Rally headed by Field Marshal
Papagos Papagos has been highly critical of
the coalition governments relative tolerance
of Communist activities in Greece. He has
been demanding new general elections for
months past and approved an earlier interven-
ton by Mr.. Peurifoy in support Of certain elec-
ton reforms-use of the direct majority system
rather than proportional representation in
choosing a national government.
The rebuffs to American intervention do
not necessarily mean that our expressed point
Of view is an improper or poorly considered one.

The school recognizes the Girl
Scout Council as one Of the great
soclalizing agencies of our demo-
cratic composition. It realizes that
In addition to the broadening ex-
periences in the fields of history
and science and language, that
there is an area of living that de-
pends largely upon stable human
relationship and self-expression.
1t recognizes that there is a moral
and spiritual side Of living that as
an institutional governed by statue
1t may deal with in but a limited
manner. The school needs the aid
OF agencies that are dedicated to
the development of the attributes
lOf character and spirit beyond
those of mere academic training
To quote, man cannot live by
bread alone. Neither can a Girl
Scout She needs the leadership Of
quality and devotion that will in
spire her to reach for the finest in
life and to guide her in the paths
that lead to integrated security. 1t
is in this field that scouting ac-
cOmplishes its greatest achieve
ment. 1t is in this field that scout
ing renders a service that no other
agency is prepared or permitted to
offer.
The school needs scouting. It
needs it because it recognizes that
scouting as an active force helps
to round out the development of
the girl. 1t knows that through
efficient leadership that the girl is
brought the fullest realization of
her capacities. 1t senses that the
volunteer leader who becomes a
friend to the girl is in a different
and some times a better position,
to aid the individual than any one
else in the social program.
1t is regrettabie that thousands
of girls in our great America have
never had the benefits and values
that accrue from the Girl Scout
program. The school would like to
see as a result of a Girl Scout
Council the extension of these pri-
vileges to all girls of all places and
creeds and natiOnalities. l never
knew a community that wasn't a
better place to live because a Girl
Scout Council had exerte6 it's infiu-
ence for finer girl training and de-
velopment. The hope of the world
reposes in it's youth. There is no
finer organization devoted to the
realization and development of this
thought than the Girl Scout COun-
Gil. The School needs the aid that
the council can render. The COun-
ell can do many of the desirable
things that the school is restrained
from doing. Cooperation of all
agencies can win the battle of to-
day and make tomorrow a better
day in which to live.

Your United States
By FLOYD cRAlMER
President Of the National Association for the
Preservation Of Free Enterprise. Inc.

Socialistic schemers and their
Well-meaning dupes are now en-
gagged in talking about Free Enter
prise as if it were a new invention
OF the powerful and the rich.
l don't believe they will be sue
eessful, because every American
knows that the Free Enterprise
system is the traditional American
way, and that this nation has be-
come a great country under it.
But simply because the Social
lists and their allies are Waging a
big campaign, and using a lot of
loose language, I'd like to ask lust
four basic matter-of-fact Ques-
tions.
Here they are
One: Which system, Free Enter
prise or Socialism, has produced
the greater amount of goods for it's
people to enjoy2
Two: Under which system, Free
Enterprise or Socialism, is wealth
better distributed?
Three: Which system leaves the
individual citizen the greater free
dom to lead his own life?
Four: Which system has the best
machinery for correcting whatever
abuses may arise?
The answer is Free Enterprise.

T PRODUCTION: American pro-
duction leads the world. So does
Americas total wealth, and Amer
lca's wealth per capita. America
leads in the diversity of goods pro-
duced, in the number of businesses
both large and small, and in the
accumulated savings of the people.

Aluminium Roofing
Good Poultry
House Insulation


Aluminium roofing is one Of the
best ways to cut down the over
heating problem in Delaware poult-
Ty houses.
POultrymen who are planning to
re-rOOf, or build new houses should
give aluminium roofing serious
consideration, says J. Frank Cor
dy.
GOrdy, poultry specialist of the
Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service, says that Maryland Field
tests show aluminium roofing to be
one of the two best ways to cut
down heat. Aluminium roofing, or
aluminium paint reflect heat waves
more than common roofing mater
ials. In the Maryland tests, temper
atures inside the house with alum
inum roofing were as much as six
degrees cooler at bird level, and Is
degrees cooler at ceiling level.
It's generally agreed that heat is
more of a temperature problem on
the peninsula, than cold. If there
were more general use of reflect
ing materials there would be less
mortality and egg production
slump, Gordy believes. Poor growth
of young chickens that have to
stand high temperatures is another
reason for using more effective
cooling methods.
The two methods found most eff
fective in the Maryland tests were
the aluminium roofing or aluminium
paint, and providing cross Ventila-
ton with openings at the rear Of
the poultry houses.

he or she lives on a far higher
economic level than any such per-

FREEDOM: Not only do Ameri-
cans live we'll, but they have the
best chance to move I'D into still
better positions. Our youngsters
can chose line Of work they think
they'H like. Our people can change
jobs. They can save money. and
either risk it or invest it.
ABUSES: When and as abuses
do arise, the American voter can
take power into his own hands. He
can change the political complex
ion of his government, and even.
by amendments to the Constitution,
alter the fundamental laws under
which we live. No socialist regime
anywhere in this world offers the
mass of the people even the small
est fraction Of such freedom.
America is looking now toward
great national election, under our
twO-party system. From the Offer
ings of the two parties, free voters
will make free ohOioa The rsroo
Enterprise system thus operates
even in the field of politics.

Who could dream Of exchanging
this for the Russian system, which
is Socialism in its fullest develop
ment? What American, in this
election year, can fail to thank
God for past blessings and future
hopes.

Wyoming gained forfeit over
Hickman on Sunday to bolster their
winning streak to nine straight.
Hickman was unable to put a team
on the field and their chances of
finishing are doubtful. Frederica
nipped Harrington in a well play
ed z to 4 contest as veteran Jim
Postles and Buddy Kimmel teamed
up to hurl the victory. Charley
Riley went the route for Harring-
ton to suffer his first loss, after
winning three. In one of the best
games of the season Viola shut out
Pennington 2 to 0 as Bill Biddle
Pested Ray Dennis in a tight hurl-
er's battle from start to finish. Eel
ton turned back Glendale 8 to 1 to
move within One-half game of the
third place Harrington nine. Viola's
win gave them sole possession of
fifth place. Harold Rothmel went
the route for FELTON, while Tommy
Wells gave way to Dave Greenly in
the ninth after giving up all of the

Frederick will be host to the pace
setting Wyoming nine this Sunday.
This looms as the biggest threat of
the season to the leaders as the

at fast clip. FELTON, will be fav-
Orites as they invade Pennington.

Ors at Glendale. Harrington is
slated to play at Hickman but the

Scotland. She was one of a family
of thirteen children. She and one
br ther, George, of Lincoln, are the
only ones living now.
She went to Camden, New Jer-

in many other walks of life.
While Mrs. Sawyer lived in Cam
den, she has never forgotten her
Delaware home and friends. They
purchased a cottage at Bowers
Beach and spent their summers
there, where it was a great plea
sure to entertain their Delaware
relatives and friends. Mr. Sawyer,
having a motor boat, was never
happier than when he had some
friends in the middle of Delaware
Bay catching those big trout and
hard heads which were to be found
there.
While somewhat hard of hearing,
she has always had good eyesight
and spends her time reading the
daily news, crOcheting, and en-
