their moneg for the tickets for the
Ice Follies by selling candy last

a patient in the hospital. They have
distributed four so far this year.
The troop wishes to thank the
Jaycees for their gift that they re-

Christmas party.

Mrs. Mae Hall McCabe Of
Rehoboth, was recently honor
ed by that town, naming her
the Woman Of the Year. Now
interested in real estate and
insurance, she has been fore
most in the past years in
church and club circles, while
carrying on a deep concern in
civic things Of her town. In a
recent letter from her she
spoke Of one Of the churches
in Rehoboth so placing a light
that the steeple of the edifice
is highlighted and, as Mrs. Nc
Cabe said "Renews ones faith"
by its beauty and its symbol.
She went on to say that this
lighting is not expensive and
she would like to see one such
lighted steeple in every town
in Sussex County. That is a
project that the towns could
propose and carry out and one
that would be admired by all
and inspired by it just as Mrs.
McCabe is.
Captain and Mrs. Francis
Humphreys have returned to

grets the loss of irreplacable
things but is grateful that
they could have escaped with

was so filled with smoke.
With a stout heart, she and Mr..
Short took up quarters re-
Gently in a small house in
their rear yard and they will
be on hand at such time as
they can start rebuilding to
supervise the same. Their
courage brings forth admira-
tion from their many friends
who have made them feel their

The high tides along the
eastern seaboard this week
brought fear again to those
who have so recently expert
enced the ravages Of water on
rampage. No one can think Of
any disaster without imme2i-
ately remembering the part
the Red Cross plays in an
emergency. This year marks
the 18th anniversary Of the
organization which will be
celebrated in a fitting man
ner by many chapters through
out the United States. Maybe
you saw the TV program on
Sunday when the heroism Of
Clara Barton, Red Cross nurse,
was the theme Of the sponsor
ed half hour. Many will also
remember, in thinking Of
clara Barton, that she was
known by Mrs. Wilbur Ham
mona, mother Of S. Willis
Hammond, who now lives in
New Haven, Conn, with her
daughter, Mrs. Harrison Bald
win, which brings the fact
very close to those here who
know Mrs. Hammond.

On the asphalt as among the
hedgerowS, the major issue again
was prosperity, and once again the
candidates were hurting percent
ages at the voter with abandon.
The seemingly contradicting figures
were coming from the same source
the Bureau of Labor Statistics
The Republicans showed that the
consumer has never had it SO good.
The Democrats showed that the
consumer has never had it so bad.
Mr.. Eisenhower says that the
cost of living has been remark
ably stabilized" with an approx
mate increase of only 2.5 per cent
i'll three and a half years. Mr..
Stevenson cries foul when he sees
the Republicans trying to make
away with an issue that has Welded
handsome Democratic dividends
since 1882, and points out that the
cost of living index reached an
all-time high of lit per cent of the
1947-1949 level only last July.
1t all depended on how one
looked at it. and which figures one
chose to ignore. During 1852 under
Harry Truman, the consumer price
index averaged 1875 per cent. In
1913 it was only 1923. And it is
true that it hit lit last July under
Mr.. Eisenhower. But on the other
hand food costs, which account
for about one-third of the index,
were actually l per cent less in
August than they were in the last
year of a Democratic administra-
ton. And real" take-home pay in
August averaged $62.55, compared
to $55.21 in 1852. However, that
slight l per cent drop in food costs
occurred while prices to farmers
dropped Is per cent. Both parties
are blaming each other for this
disparity. but the real reasons are:
. Higher profits for distributors
and professors. (For example, Swift
& Co.'s net income for the 26 weeks
ended last April % was $11. 040, $40,
compared with $4,622,087 for the
same period a year earlier)
. Larger profits to retailers. (Net
income for Safeway Stores for the
first six months of this year. was
almost double that of a year
earlier.)
. Higher freight rates and higher
wages all along the line.

Europe Moves
Nearer Union

The long sustained dream of a
United Europe took on sharper out
lines last week.
West Germany's Chancellor Kon-
rad Adenauer, employing the happy
occasion of the signing of an agree
ment with France returning the
Saarland to Germany, called for
new efforts to broaden the base of
European indignation. With Frances
Premier Guy Mollet, Mr.. Adenauer
offered a new plan for a European
Confederacy.
The two statesmen agreed on spe-
ciflc steps for a beginning: Full
flllment of the project for an Euro
pean atomic development pool;
creation of a common market for
non-agricultural goods, and an
arms production pool.
The three-pronged initial move
will be submitted this week to the
Western European Union, consist
ing of representatives from France,
West Germany, Britain, Italy, Bel
GUM. the Netherlands and Luxem-
bourg.
In another hopeful development
for the cause of union, Britain in
dicated strongly that the traditional
isolation policy of the tight little
isle" was being radically relaxed.
Heretofore. British support for
United Europe proposals has been
lukewarm when not openly hostile.
In Washington Tuesday, Secre-
tary Dulles voiced hearty approval
Of the renewed drive for European
federation. He called the plan a
means whereby Western Europe
would become third great pow
err" and quoted former British
Prime Minister Clement Attlee,
Europe must federate or perish"
Altogether, the signs of serious
trend toward a federated Europe
testify to the effects of the Cold
War and the rapidly-shifting world
balance of power. National sover-
eighty in the face of the growing
threat of international communism
seems far less attractive today,
easier to sacrifice in the cause of
a common effort for self-preserva-
ton. I'm union there is strength"
is coming to mean more than a
slogan, backed as it is today by
the harsh dictum unite or perish"

Parting in Italy

Italy's Left Socialists under Pietro
Nenni and the Communists led by
Palmiro Togliatti formally parted
company Friday, but the divorce
agreement was not entirely pleasing
to the Right Socialists whose spokes-
man is Giuseppe Saragat.
The Rightist objections to the
terms of the split center on Nenni
provision for continued consulta-
tons with the Communists for
common action of all workers" This,
scornfully declared Mr.. Saragat,
amounted to a mortgage on the
Socialist Party's future and was in
tolerable.
Despite the apparent setback to
the hopes for a unified Italian So
cialist Party, negotiations for re-
union. begun in August, were ex-
pected to continue. If successful, the
Communists would be relegated to a
minority role in Italy's politics.
