urging enactment of the bill de-
spite the fact that the future an
pOintment of a new Judge, if au-
thOrized, would probably not be
from among members Of his own
political Party.
Said the Senator, "This consid-
GRAFTON is not important, because
the public need most certainly
trahscends political sentiment"
He also pointed out that the bill
creating the new Judgeship in
Delaware was offered by Senator
Pat McCarFan, the retiring Demo-
cratic Chairman of the Judiciary
Committee.
In his comments, Mr.. Frear
stated that although the Judgeship
Bill is not necessarily a matter Of
headline interest, it is a matter Of
prime concern to Delaware's rep
resentatives in Congress.
81 trust therefore" the Senator
concluded, that thoughtful Della
wareans will lend their attention
and support Of the measure because
/ believe its approval will benefit
most of us in the conduct of neces-
sary legal affairs"

Dear Friends:
A cousin Of ours from New Eng
land, Mrs. Elizabeth Alden Wassell
BY name, used to come see us often
and one of the words / remember
particularly Dad used to tease her
about was piazza" We went out
on the porch, but Cousin Betty al
ways went out on the piazza. Know
what they call it out here2-''Lan-
al" Everyone talked about their
lanai" and ] thought well, good
for them, aren't they lucky, they
have a lanai. I kept thinking III
never hear that word again, It'll
blow over, l won't bother looking
it up, but ads in the paper kept ad-
Vertising furniture for your lanai. .
real estate showed houses with
"lanais" and after a while I got
curious Old Webster says = a
porch; term used in Hawaii. Well,
the term is now used in California,
too.
You know the terrible time I
have had with people not knowing
Delaware was part of the United
States. People have thought it was
county in Pennsylvania, city in
Texas, etc. The other day we went
to the state capitol and we have a
story from that visit to top them
all. AS you may or may not know,
the capitol building here in Sacra-
mentO is surrounded by a 40-acre
park containing 400 varieties of
trees, shrubs and flowers. It must
be lovely in the spring, because
even now with just few Of the
blossoms in bloom it is such a
gorgeous sight. We went to a guard
in the building and asked where
the Delaware tree could be found.
We had heard that there are trees
from every state in the union and
we were naturally curious about
what tree the Blue Hen State had
sent. The guard looked at us ra-
ther puzzled and gave us a room
we might go to, to locate a map OF
the surrounding grounds and he
said, I've never heard of that kind
of q tree, "the Delaware tree?" My
screech just echoed up and dowr
those marble halls. We had a uuiet
little talk with that California mar
and 1 bet he'll never forget wha
and where our Delaware is, afteI
this. Wasn't that awful though? H,
thought Delaware was a kind o.
tree. Later we found out from tn,
ground supervisor that the tree
are not from each state but are rep
resentative OF various areas. From
the Eastern Shore States they hav
maple, dOgwOOd and oak trees.
Speaking of trees, when we al
rived in California we began see

us were familiar with and l wa

was, but we were trying to get {

S. S. Payments Boon

people are receiving 5000 million
in insurance payments each month.
The total paid in 1858 to these re-
tired workers, their families, and
to dependent survivors of deceased
workers who were insured, will be
more than $21k billion.
In the past sixteen years, Mr..
MilbOuer believes, American fami-
lies have built up more protection
under Federal old-age and surviv-
ors insurance than they generally
realize.
For example, 500 of all jobs in
the country are covered by the
program, and 81 million persons
are now insured for benefits on the
basis of their employment in COW
cred work. Twenty-three million of
these are permanently insured.
-Four out of five mothers and chill
dren in the United States are pro-
tected under the Federal program
in case of the DEATH of the family
breadwinner. The total face value
of the life insurance protection
underwritten by the system is over
$275 billion.
The local manager argues that
the program comes home to Della
ware i'm the form of added pur-
chasing power where it is needed
most. Most of the wage earners
their employers. and self-emplOy-
ed people here pay social security
taxes regularly, which buys insur'
ance for them. But right now regu'
lar cash payments are going int
the homes of people who have re-
tired and to homes where the wage
Garner has died, to replace income
which has been lost.

The population includes about

proved by the Medical Society OF
