the fine sentiment Of Mr., ley
taud please let us not silence
the church BELLS. They repre-
sent throughout the Christian
world a dear and sacred OUT
ward manifestation Of mans
joyful worship Of his God.
But, let us, nevertheless, in
all things practice the basic
Christian virtue Of considera-
ton for others, whether we
be juke box operators, auto
mobile drivers, chicken rails
ers, or otherwise.
II is the sincere prayer Of
the writers that if more of us
would become conscious of
our obligations to our fellow
men we might all together en-
Joy the benefits of living to-
gether in a more harmonious
and peaceful community.
Very truly yours,

Since publication in your
issue Of October 18th of my
letter dealing with the dog
nuisance, many persons have
expressed deep concern over
my reference to church bells.
Mr.. Anton G. Teytaud, Jr-,
likewise, in his very fair and
candid letter appearing in
your issue Of October 23rd ex-
posses alarm at my refer
ence to the bells.
For this reason I feel i'm
PEELED to clarity somewhat
my position on the matter,
The key to my thought apro-
pos the church bells will be
found in the word excessive.
Freedom of religious worship
is the most sacred Of our Ii
berties as citizens Of this great
democracy. | would never
hesitate to fight for and, if
necessary, give my life TO pre-
serve this freedom not only
for myself but for all my fell
low-citizens. But all freedoms
and rights incident thereto
are always subject, in q we'll
organized and happy society,
to the exercise Of those fun

siderations due from one citi-

1t is time for us to play down
the harsher aspects of the Purim
story in the way we transmit it to
our children. The hanging of
Hannah should play less of role
in the telling of the story than the
moral upgrading of Esther's char
acter. Esther's triumph over her
own ethical lukewarmness should
be emphasized more than the
triumph over Hannah.

Group Hospital Service
Trys Out New Program

Group Hospital Service, Inc, is
trying out, with a single large
group Of members, and Group Hos
pital Service employees, a program
Of new and extended health bene-
fits which goes into effect this week.
The extended benefits program
is designed to cover many Of the
cOsts-nOt already covered in the
Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plans
encountered in long term illnesses
like cancer, heart disease, diabetes,
etc; in major accidents and in Op-
erstions with long recovery peri
DDS.
II the new program is wanted
and turns out to be financially fea-
sible 1t will be offered to members
as a supplement to their Blue
CrOss-Blue Shield Plans.
That the program is wanted is in
dicated by its fast acceptance
where It is being tried out. The
plan was offered to Wilmington
area employees Of the Hercules
Powder Company. Within two
weeks, 81 per cent Of them signed
up for the new cOverage at the ex-
perimental rates of 81 extra per

ent commission, the 12-member
commission never having selected
any one to be its Attorney"
The question remained unan-
swered but probably viii be met
at the January meeting of the
commission when in s.ll likelihood
certain major changes viii be made
in top personnel. such as secretary
and state motor vehicle commits
siOneT. Next month, Mr.. Arsht will
undoubtedly be renamed the attor-
ney for the bridge.
It is taken for granted that
among the first heads to rolf
early next year will be those Of
Thomas E. BurrOugh, secretary of
the State Highway Department and
Harvey SpiceT, state motor vehicle
commissioner. Neither man has any
illusions about their future with
the department.
AS for the chief engineer, Wal
ter B. McKendrick, Jr.-it is diff
cult to learn what the Democrats
have in mind for his job.
Some observers say that Richard
Haber, formerly chief engineer.
will be called back but Mr.. Haber
is now in private employment and
there is rumor that he'd like to get
more money if he returns.

benefits of the extended health
benefits program will apply.
H. V. Maybee, managing director
Of Group Hospital Service, said the
new plan was worked out as the
result of public interest in cover
age for the expense of long i'll
nesses which are relatively rare
but extremely expensive.
The details of the experimental
plan were worked out after months
Of consultation with representatives
Of groups Of Blue CrOss-Blue Shield
members.

also continues to make more
sense than any of his studio
contemporaries.
Pictures always have to be
entertaining. but the definition
of entertainment changes as
the public taste changes" he
pointed out in a recent talk.
''It isn't the same today as it
was a few years ago. Further
more, there is no reason to be-
lieve that entertainment must
cater just to the senses and
not to the mind. There is no
good reason why entertain
ment cannot be stimulating
and thought-provoking.
Stressing that pictures are a
mass medium. Schary added:
"They are not made for the
brilliant minority and the
mass audience remains, for the
most part, a rather literal. un-
complicated. yet extremely
moral group.
THE screen, as it stands
today, has become an instru-
ment for voicing public opin-
ion. In any case. where it en-
ters a controversial area, the
public. to a great degree, has
already made up its mind.
