MILFORD HAS A SCHOOL ELECTION

Again we have been through an exciting
school board election, and again the present
school board has emerged victorious. The
battle last Saturday was hard fought be-
tween Crerar Bennett, present member, and
Charles Murphy, who sought to unseat him.
Bennett, as was expected by those who know
sentiment in this community, received a
substantial majority.
During the campaign preceding the cleo
tion rumors were afoat to the effect that a
considerable number of teachers would quit
if Bennett was reelected. The runor was
denied by those who should know True or
false, it seems to us that it is time to look
this problem straight in the face. If there
are dissatisfied teachers among the faculty,
persons who cannot work in harmony with
the present Board, the Superintendent, and
others in authority, it might be well for
them to seek employment elsewhere. Teach
ers are scarce we are told. But we cannot
bring ourselves to believe that they cannot
be replaced We are not recommending any
wholesale firing or replacement of teachers.
We don't think 1T is necessary. But we do
believe that the faculty members should be
one hundred per cent loyal to the Board and
supervisory staff. This they owe to the chill
dren as well as themselves. We think it is
time for Milford School District residents to
stop sniping at the school authorities and
give them an opportunity to work out heir
problems in a peaceful atmosphere. This
we believe the School Board members and
Superintendent are trying to do. A little
more cooperation, and a little less criticism
can bring better atmosphere for our chill
dren. They, in the final analysis, are the
victims of continuing quabbling.

a monkey wrench in this Lillipu-
tian machinery.
The baby of them all has a 1/10
inch outside diameter. 1t costs Sc.
Other bearings average about
$1.75 each. An annual output of
over a million bearings makes
this big business. And when this
pioneer producer, the originator of
miniature precision bearings,
moves into his new plant-the first
ever to be designed and built for
this very particular product
his business will be considerably
bigger, since he'll be able to make
still more of these miniscule min
iatures for his more than 5000 GUS
toners.
The moral of this story would
seem to be that the biggest is not
always the best, and that you can
build business bigger by making
things littler.
SPHINX FROM INDEPENDENCE
In New York on the eve of sail
ing for Europe, former President
Truman told newsmen that he was
not yet supporting any particular
candidate, that he was not in the
race. Later he lauded Governor
Hartman as one who could cope
with Communism, and said: "We
miss his wisdom and energy and
sure touch in our foreign policy
today"
Limping slightly from a sprained
ankle, Mr. Truman told the report
ers he would not be taking his us
ual walk in the morning. but would
be ready for you boys" on his re-
turn late in June. Now what did
he mean by that?

DEFENSE BUDGET
By an unusual unanimous vote,
377-O, the House passed the 1876
billion dollar defense budget-a
few hours after Defense Secretary
Wilson had told Senate group his
aides considered the budget "aus-
tere," but enough for critical
needs 1t was, he sGid, like d
family that has everything it real
ly needs, but not all it wants"
But even Mr. Wilson should know
there never was that much money!
WHAT'S COOKING?
At their recent Paris meeting, re-
ports Secretary of State Dulles, the
foreign ministers of the fifteen
NATO nations asked themselves

point out that the NATO Council
has not seriously gone into the
problems of the Middle East, North

weight into the German reunifica-
ton problem or the protection of

NOT FARMERS ALONE

Walter P Reuther, head of the United
Auto Workers and one of the nations most
enlightened labor leaders, has called renew
ed attention to something often lost sight of
when the farm situation is debated What he
said was that the farmer cannot solve his
problems without the help of organized labor,
and that labor cannot solve its problems
without the help of the farmer.
That is true, however one regards other
points made by Reuther, and whatever one
may think of farm legislation now being
threshed out in Congress. The intimate
cross-relationship between farmers and la
bor-between farmers, indeed, and the rest
of the nation-cannot be questioned.
Reuther noted that new-car registrations
were IA per cent lower last year, as compar-
ed with 1850, in five states where more than
20 per cent of the cars are owned by farmers.
Yet total registration of new cars through
out the nation last year was up 14.2 per
cent over the 1850 total. His conclusion was
that declining farmer income was being felt
in the auto industry. He also cited declines
in production of farm machinery and in en-
ployment of production workers.
Farm prosperity is important, first of ALL
for farm families. But, as Reuther and
others have pointed out, farm prosperity also
is important for the nation as whole. That
is something for Congress to keep in mind as
it wrestles with final stages of the 1856 farm
program.

Z AS HANDSOME DOES.


President Eisenhower will pro-
claim May 22nd as Maritime Day."
American vessels around the globe
will be ordered to dress ship for
the day. A special maritime poster
will be blazoned on the sides of
the 50,00a mail trucks that serve
the U, S. and it's possessions and
reproductions will be distributed
over the nation by The Propeller
Club of the U. S.
Speeches will be made around
the country by leading figures in
the shipping world, notably Mari
time Administrator Clarence G.
Morse, who will talk in two of our
great inland seapOrts, Detroit and
Buffalo. The theme of the 1856
observance will be "Moderniza-
tion"-of ships, port facilities and
the operation of both-the need for
Americans to meet the challenge
of obsolescence with new ideas
ideas and new efficiency, including
atomic propulsion.
Launching of the new supertank-
er, SIS Cities Service Miami, from
the Sparrow's Point ways of the
Bethlehem Shipbuilding Company
in Baltimore, next day, will pro-
vide an impressive example of the
Administration modernization eff
fort at work. This supertanker is
the second of the oil company's
great new 32,650 ton vessels to be
built under the Maritime Admins
tration'S TRADE : in and Build"
program, and a third sister ship is
now under construction. These
three vessels, which will be the
largest-and no doubt the most
completely modern-in the coast
wise service, will replace seven old
tankers traded to the Govern
ment's reserve fleet.
Thus the "Modernization" you
will be hearing about on Maritime
Day is in progress-not just a
laudable hope. And it should prove
that the best and cheapest way to
avoid an emergency is to anticipate
it.
THEY WON'T BE MISSED
Chairman Francis E. Walter, of
the House Un-American Activities
committee, has expressed the hope
that his group will be able to bring
out all the facts in the case of
Sidney Hatkin, Air Force employee
who has been under suspension
for IA months on the charge of be-
ing security risk"
And if Mr. Hatkin's story, that
member of the, Soviet Military
Mission in Washington sought to
hire him to write a report on U. S.
aircraft production, stands up un-
der investigation, says Represen-
tative Walter, we should send So
Wet Ambassador Georgi N. Ear
oubin back home. He feels that it
is more than a coincidence" that
Communist spy rings were exposed

PRAISE FOR A VETO


A survey of editorial comment following
President Eisenhower's veto of the farm bill,
shows widespread approval of the action.
The President was praised for showing po-
litical courage in a matter of the utmost diff
ficulty, and for refusing to bow to expedi-
ency.
The bill itself, as many editors pointed
out, was hodge podge of inconsistencies and
would have made the surplus problem worse
and more costly to the taxpayers. 1t would
have undermined the legitimate, long-range
interests of the farmers themselves.
There was no possibility of the bill being
passed over the veto. And it is a question
now whether there will be any new major
farm legislation this year at ALL though the
President is pressing for his soil bank idea.
There can be no permanent solution to
the farm problem under any policy that en-
courages production for storage as against
production for consumption. Means must
be found for moving the bounty of the land
into the homes of consumers. One such means
is aggressive promotion. That has been done
lately in the case of meat-a commodity in
strong supply-and with success. And, judg-
ing by the available evidence only minor
ity of livestock producers want government
aids and controls that go with them. The
majority want free enterprise economy
That should be the goal of all agriculture

YOUR GOOD HEALTH

A child born in this country in 1900 had
a life expectancy of less than so years. A
child born today will live, on the average, for
about 70 years.
This means that life expectancy has in
creased by some 40 per cent in a little more
than half a century. That is development
of almost incredible magnitude. What has
made such unprecedented progress possible?
Obviously it wasn't just magical good
luck. 1t was the result of many factors. And
one of those factorS-poSsibly the Over-rid-
ing one-is found in medical progress.
Disease after disease has been conquered.
Infant mortality has been reduced and re-
duced. Frontiers of medical knowledge have
been pushed back and back. Our medical
schools produce more and more physicians
and better prepared physicians. The stand
ards of hospital care have been constantly
raised. In every phase and facet of the heal
ing arts there has been outstanding achieve
ment.
All this, let us not forget, has been ac-
complished under system of free medicine.
Here the doctor is not an employee of the
state Here the patient is not a pawn, to be
shuttled about according to a rule book, as
he is under socialized medicine. Here the
stress is on the value and freedom and indie
pendehee of sthe1individual. = FsFs' s. eaesi
We live longer lives and healthier lives
than our forefathers did. Each day some
new contribution is made to the vast body
Of medical knowledge. Thus do free men
achieve in an atmosphere of freedom.
