Dear Friends:
Can hardly believe that is years
ago today l was one of the brides
maids in my brother and sister-in-
laws wedding. Ted and Kinney now
are happily living on School Place
and are the proud parents of Con-
ME 1215, Marsha IL, Betsy 5 and
little Jimmy almost T.
This story was in the morning
paper and it has no relation to
Ted ard Kinney other than it's an
anniversary story. When the hus-
band started about his business as
usual the morning of his 25th we'd
ding anniversary, the wife was
rightfully annoyed.
Don't you realize what day this
is?" she asked.
Sure | do" ne replied.
We'll. how are we going to cele-
brate?"
He meditateS for moment, then
he suggested quietly, How about
two minutes of absolute silence?'
Last Thusday tine 14th, after
three long weeks, my husband re-
turned to his home base and to
his home. The SAC Evaluation
School at Little Rock was certainly
no cinch, but Hayes and his pilot
and co-pilot came through with
flying colors and they're pleased
20 have this prodigious accom-
plishment behind them.

Lynne and Dawn's 2 o'clock polio
appointment at the county clinic.
This made my arrival at the West

having our annual carnival and as
Lynae's room mother was respon-
sible for one of the booths. Four OF
us had three hours to think of an
idea and carry it out and decorate
our homemade candy" booth
Somehow with colored sheets
crepe paper, peppermint candy
sticks we ended up with a fairly
attractive booth. Each room Of this

Grand Opening

William (BilD Ward, Jr., and
his brother Russell (Ted) Ward
have just announced their opening
of an Oliver Farm Machinery Agen-
cy. to be known as Wards farm
Service in Harrington, Delaware
Both boys are well experienced
i'm their line and are well known
in the area which they will serve.
| guess you can say they have it
in their blood. Their father, Will
liam J. Ward, Sr.. presently en-
ployed by the Oliver Corporation as
territory manager in this area was
an Oliver dealer in Pennsylvania
and the boys have been brought up
on Oliver machinery.
Bill is a Navy veteran and at
tended three Diesel schools in the
Navy which has proved very val
liable in his present business. He
was employed by Warrington Ser
vice Center in Harrington, In 194I
and from 1948 to 1856 was en-
ployed bv the Oliver Corporation
rs territory manager in this area.
Bill has started several OF the
Oliver dealers in Delaware, ana
trained their personnel in sales ana
service. His background and repu-
tation should give a good indica-
tion to the farmers in the area OF
the type of business they will con-
duct.
Ted. also brought up in the
Oliver line. has a lot of experience
in this area. He has been employed
Nv Warrington Service Center. in
Harrington. Halls Service Center,
in Harrington and johnson and

Senate Confirmed
% On Tuesday

In a 45-minute executive session
Tuesday afternoon, the State Sem
ate confirmed the reappointment
of Judge Percy Warren Green and
the appointment of Robert FL. Wahl
as judges of the New Castle Coun-
ty Court of Common Pleas.
Senate Executive Committee
Chairman Lemuel H. Hickman Cd
Frankford) said the lawmakers
confirmed % additional nomina-
tions, rejected one, and passed over
Is others in their closed-door meet
ing.
The nominations of Judge Green
and Mr.. Wahl, dated Monday, were
forwarded to the Senate by men,
Der of the Governors staff about
1870 Tuesday afternoon.
Returning to session at $3.50 after
caucus of its Democratic majori-
ty, the Senate received-and ac-
cepted-Mr. Wahl's resignation as
one of it's two attorneys, post he
filled in the 1955-56 session as well
as this year.
Then it swung into its executive
session, which apparently owed its
length to the number of appoint
ments considered and not to dis
agreement over the merits of any
particular nomination or nomina-
tions.
The 1866 General Assembly,
overriding Governor Boggs' veto,
passed a law providing for the ap-
pointment of a second Common
Pleas Judge in New Castle County.
The Governor has left the second
judgeship untitled since this law
took effect on June 6, 1866.
The Governor has also held back
on appointing a successor for
Judge Green, a Republican whose
12-year term expired April 1, 1855.
In the absence of successor,
Judge Green has continued to hold
office.
The 1855 act provides that both
! judges shall serve for four years,
and stipulates that their salaries
which are paid by the Levy Court
not the state-shall be not less than
$4,000 or more than $500 a year
The old law, in addition to provid-
/
salary of $4,000 a year but no maxi
mum. Judge Green has been draw
ing $4,000.
The nomination rejected by the
Senate was that of Americus G.
Belts of Millsboro as a justice OF
the peace. His nomination was also
rejected by the 1955-56 Assembly
Most of the Is nominations pass
ed over involved Kent County resi-
dents, and there are indications
that the Senate is awaiting fov the
appointment of new judge for the
Kent County Court of Common
Pleas before acting on them.
Here are the nominations which
met with Senate confirmation:
John n Mcdowell of Newark to
be secretary of state during the
pleasure of the Governor.

mington, to the Public Service
Commission for a term expiring

doubtedly will be a revision of
personal taxes and that every
body should be on notice that
there will be opposition to any
further extensions Of the Korean
War corporation taxes without
some revision next year. He said
the 1858 session may not take
of all Of the Korean increase
in corporation rates. but that
there will be some adjustment.
Without the pending extension
bill. the corporation rate would
go down from So to AZ per cent.
The excuses would go down as
follows: on distilled spirits, from
$1,000 to SO per gallon: beer,
from SO to So per barrel; ciga-
rettes. from 81 to $3.50 per l 900;
automobiles. from 10 per cent to
7 per cent. and on automobile
parts. from 8 to 5 per cent.
Williams Explains Views
Senator Williams said he is
not opposed to an oil depletion
allowance in principle, but thinks
the 27.5 per cent rate is too high.
He pointed out that 1t was es-
tablished In 1926 at a time when
the top tax rate on corporations
was only IA per cent. For that
reason. he said he does not think
the oil producers are paying their
proportionate share of present.
day taxes. He is proposing that
the oil depletion allowance be
cut to is per cent.
Treasury Secretary Humphrey
was not prepared last week to
tell Senator Williams what the
position Of the Treasury is on
the oil amendment. But he urged
Senators to consider both the oil
and small business amendments
more fully at separate hearings
rather than attach them to the
pending bill.
Although not committing the
Treasury on the Williams amend
ment. Mr.. Humphrey said his
figures indicate that the present
law is providing about the prop
er stimulus to keep the Nation
oil reserves on a level keel The
Secretary said that "if by care
full study. it should be proven
that is what is happening and
our reserves are not exec ssive.
and this inducement is necessary
to keep reserves level. then 1
would think it would be about
right"

Congress will cut taxes next
year both for individuals and
corporations, Senate Republican
Leader Knowland predicted yes
terday.
He made the forecast in ex-
pressing his belief that this is
the last time Congress will agree
to a straight extension Of the
So per cent corporation rate and
the Korean War excise increases
on alcoholic beverages, tobacco
and automobiles.
Nov is the time to put our
financial house in order, looking
toward tax cuts next year." Sen
ator Knowland said. Assuming
that we are going to make bud
get cuts-and I think there will
be-there will be room for per-
sonal tax reductions next year"
The corporation and excise
taxes are due to 60 down April /.
but the Senate Finance Com
mittee will meet at 10 am. to-
morrow to act on another ex-
tension. this time for Is months.
Congress has extended these
taxes. which produce So billion
annually. every year since they
were put into effect.
Extension Time Studied
The Senate is considering a
l5-month extension now to have
them expire at the end Of the
Governments bookkeeping year,
In, the hope this will be a better
time to determine where cuts
can be made.
Several senators who don't
want to wait until next year
will offer a series of changes
In the pending bill. But the
Senate. facing a deadline only
one week away. is expected to
defeat all efforts to revamp the
tax structure at this time.
In addition to the tax relief
for small business, on which the
finance committee held hear
ings last week, Senator Bible,
Democrat of Nevada, will move
