None Of these problems is more
vital than that of the economic
question, the employment Of older
citizens Some economists state
that the country faces a tremen-
oous economic burden because OF
the refusal to utilize our potential
older workers. while others state
that our potential productivity IS
enough to support this group with-
out their working.
While the percentage of the total
population over 65 has increased
tremendously the percentage Of
male participants age 65 and over
in the labor force has fallen sharp
~ in the last half century
The following factors seemed to
have in1uencsd this drop. Hiring
practices Of employers the de-
clining place 0l agriculture and
self-employment generally in our
economy the extension 0f social
insurance and pension programs;
and the insututicnaiizati0n of age
65 as a retirement age.

Il would, as a responsible party
official and former state officer,
oppose ripper legislation as such,
that is legislation designed to rip
out Republican control In depart
ments where il exists. such as the
State Highway Department.
However, there are some things
in the Democratic platform which
would change around some of the
boards Of the state. I refer par
ticularly TO such items as estab-
lishment Of a state penal system
and state civil service, which would
mean q complete reshuffling Of
boards. We have also advocated,
and hope to put through, changes
in registration and election laws.
But where there are no such
changes, I would strongly oppose
such ripper legislation as the Re-
publicans were guilty of when they
controlled the General Assembly
under Governor McMullen in 1899.
Half As Many Attaches
Il would also strongly urge the
to cut the attache list

Slaughter Beach
Seeks Fire Truck
Meeting WIN Be Held Shortly
To Set Up Plan

A movement has been inaUgura-
ted by property holders of Slaugh-
ter Beach to secure a fire truck
for that Delaware Bay village.
James Wilson and committee
have invited other property hold
ers to a meeting to be held within
few days to consider the propO-
sitiOn.
Numerous fires at the village
within the past year have prompted
this action.
The present idea is to provide
a tank wagon with a pressure en-
gine to fight fires until the arrival
Of the Carlisle Fire Company of
Milford.
The Carlisle company has been
responding to all alarms at this
resort, but Milford is about eight
miles away. It is thought that a
pressure tank wagon could keep
any fires under control until the
arrival of the apparatus from Mil
ford.

sign Of the advent Of spring and
a herring run in the Potomac
near Chain Bridge usually a
fortnight later. However. it will
be a somewhat longer period
than that before the real runs
come into the upper tidewater
in the Potomac. Wells also re-
ported that an angler whose
name is unknown to him, but
a newcomer in this area, tried
the mouth of the South River
near Turkey Point last week end
and came in with six nice pike
and nine rockfish taken on a
Doblex spinning bait. The grass
is beginning to sprout in the
shadows and some native shrimp
have already made their ap-
pearance. This would account
for the presence of the rockfish,
which ran around 2 pounds
apiece.

worms in your garden later this

welcome him. Biologists estimate
that the common toad eats about
