1910. These last two bled England SO tnat she
is now seCond-rate power. There now is little nope
of her getting strong again.
WHAT ABOUT THE U. S. AT
The United States is now the richest and most
powerful nation of the world. We have taken tne
world leadership from England. But with this Lead
ership come responsibilities We must police the
world We are like a boy who is the gang leader
In order to so remain, he starts no lights; Dut II
some other boy starts a fight with him or with any
member of his gang he must fight that upstart
Otherwise he is no longer a leader His influence
is gone This is the situation which the United
States has gotten into. We should blame no one'
It just happened.
Unfortunately, we are like the man VINO had the
"bull by the tail" He was asking hmsef Snail
let go or hang On?" If we are to defend our po-
sitiOn of leadership must continue to nght IN
Korea and wherever we are challenged This means
we must chang onto the bulls tail; but this is and
will continue to be an unhappy position. On the
other hand if we swallow pride and Withdraw
from Korea we become secOnd-class nation.
WE CAN EXPECT NO PEACE
l have strong feeling that the Chinese will
get tired of the fighting. Then Eisenhower will work
out some kind of a temporary peace with Russia
which will "save face" all around But it will be
only temporary Russia does not want World War
III so long as Stain lives; but she is determined to
worry us and bleed us economically so long as she
do so.
Mothers sisters and sweethearts are very anx-
done with honor But further forecast that within
a year after the Korean peace, trouble will break
out elsewhere. We all must expect our sons to be
sent to fight somewhere at some time. The sooner
we get used to both worries and taxes the better
for all concerned.

Emergency rations are being issu-

big need is ror clothes and money

IMPORTANCE OF HISTORY
Here at my winter headquarters have library
of over 10000 volumes, some of which were pub
lshed previous to 1850. While here the past month
have spent much time reading the history of the
modern world which dates back to the Roman
Empire There are two outstanding facts 0) Some
one nation was always the "top dog" (2) That
nation was usually at war with some other nation
which was attempting to tip over her applicant"
The Roman Empire started with good leaders
and the best intentions, but it continually at
war These wars were not to seek more power, but
to prevent other nations from seizng the power
which Rome then held Every high school student
who has studied Caesar" knows the story. Finally,
Rome was economically exhausted with these con-
tinual conflicts and the Roman Empire collapsed.
Later, the Spanish Empire took the leadership and
went through the same experience Then the French
took the ball.
REMEMBER THE BRITISH
Following Rome. Spain and France, England
became the worlds greatest power. She held this
Leadership until the first World War Her battle
cruisers were in every large port and she polced
the world and was usually fighting somewhere. She
just had to do this to hold her position. England
also was rich and did the worlds banking, insurance
and shipping The English Pound Sterling was then
the worlds universal currency as is our Dollar

Dear Friends:
When we met our friends, the
Bill Tiernans of Milwaukee, Wis
cOnsin, in Houston, Texas, Of
course, they wanted to know where
we came from. We proudly told
them Milford, Delaware, and 1 guess
as soon as they went home they got
out their world atlas to see where
the DickersOns were located geo
graphically. Bill has teased us nm
mercifully about high tide erasine
Milford from the union. On every
occasion he teased us about "Old
Mil-by"! The part that surprised
them, and everyone else, is how
Milford people get around. It really
has been phenomenal how many
MilfOrdians we have seen these two
years we have been away from
home.
The evening of January both,
Hayes Uncle Herb Murphy from
Washington, D. c., called us from
San Francisco. He was there on
business. Even though his train
went through Sacramento the fol-
lowing day we were still unble to
see him, which was disappointing.
I expected Hayes home from his
five-day Texas mission February 1.
Course, as things go in the Air
Force he didn't get hc,ne the day
expected. was all dressed up in
jeans, gay red shirt, espadrills,
cleaning house, cutting flowers
from the back yard and bringing
them in doors. Company always ar
rives when you're so attired, but
this company was from Delaware,
so naturally I was pleased to see
them, regardless. / recognized the
boy right away as Bill Exley. Bill
is my junior out nevertheless, I re-
membered him in high school. He
now lives at 2408 Bartlett street,
Oakland, California. With him was
his attractive wife, Lena.
Like many CalifOrinans, Bill de-
cided tSat he wanted to leave the
east coast and investigate other
territory. He left home in 194S, said
goodbye to his mother and told
her he had decided to go to Oak
land, where one of his sisters live
(there are IA children in his family
which l didn't know before). His
mother expected him to return home
in a few days and said so, but Bill
said, "No, I'm going" He started
hitch-hiking west and got as fal
as D. c., and just couldn't get am
further He returned home just al
his mother knew he would. In f;
couple Of weeks, Mrs. Exley wa
told again that her son was goinj
west. Thsy said goodbye and Bill
was eff again, this time he hitch
hiked to you're right, Wash
ingtOn, D. c., and again he was bacl
in Milford in two days. This didn'
defeat Bill. as it would have me

The power to tax has always meant the
power to control. In 1913, when state and
local governments received 6790 of all reve-
nue. collected from taxes, they were free and
able to handle the responsibilities properly
theirs under our Constitution. Of late years,
when the Federal government has been TAX
ing about three-fourths of all tax revenue,
Federal grants-in-aid became necessary.
That meant Federal control by a centralized
government. The Federal government has
become too big for efficiency, and too costly
for our economy to bear and remain prosper
Gus. In at laest four prediction speeches
General Eisenhower indicated that, as Pres
ident, he would favor program to "bring
government back home" so that state and
local governments could reassume their
proper responsibilities.
It's up to Congress to put that program
into effect.

Dear family,
We know you must all be worried
about us after reading of the floods.
We were saved by being on higher
grOund-We are only two blocks
from the sea front, but there is a
big hill and cliff at the end of If
road going down to the sea, so the
water could not come this way. It
broke through on both ends beside
us. We had high winds and bitter
cold Saturday and Sunday morn
ing about A. NJ, it broke through
and in a matter of minutes had
flooded a big area. No one was ex-
pecting it and a policeman is credit
ed with saving some lives by run
ming through the water and knock
ing on doors until it was up to his
chest. People cut holes in their
roofs and climbed out and sat there
waiting to be saved-sOme could
not be gotten to in time. Whole
housing developments are gOne-a
whole trailer colony was tossed
around like pieces of straw, turn
ed upside down, crushed and float
ing in the water. We looked at the
ruins from the top of a hill two
blocks away-at the houses float
ing and the sight was horrible. The
men in the services, and the vOlun'
