The members of the Harrington

Coach Dick Jeffers and his as

Delaware Food Market
Report

The Christmas rush is oni And
| there's no hope of it getting any
easier until Santa comes and leaves
the many gifts he brings. During
the days ahead good planning OF
time, energy and certainly the
menus is required. Special atten-
ton should be given to all the eco
nomy food items to help relieve the
already bulging budget. Variety
meats, such as liver, tongue, Kid
ney and heart are all within the
budget. They are rich in food nu-
trients and yield about 5 servings
per lb. Check on these meats when
you are shopping next. Ground
meat is cheap, selling for 3 lbs.
for s1.00 in many stores this week.
Make sure to get a full quarter
pound for each person you plan to
serve, though. Chuck roast is an
other beef item to look for. It's a
top flight item and such versatile
one, too.
PToiI1ng and frying chicken
should not be overlooked since
they are "such good eating" and the
prices are definitely right to serve
them often. Loin roast of pork,
spareribs and some smoked hams
are all items to check when you
shop this weekend.
If you are looking for special
treat, make trip to the seafood
counter. Shell fish supplies are
abundant-shrimp, scallops and
lobster tail all give festive air to
any meal. For a substantial and
nourishing luncheon or main dish
look for sea trout, whiting, fillets
of cod. haddock and ocean perch,
and fish sticks.

MANY NEW NATIONS

Geography has become more complicated
since 1941, according to findings of the Ma
tional Geographic Society. Then there were
78 independent nations. Now there are 1O3
All but six of the newly independent nations
are in Asia.
These include India, Pakiston, Ceylon,
Israel, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Indonesia
and the Philippines. Five other nations that
are now independent are in Africa, Ghana
being the latest. And Iceland proclaimed its
independence of Denmark in 1914.
The end is not yet. In the last Is years
most of the new nations were Asiatic, but the
ferment for independence is working in Afri-
ca. 1t is likely that in the next Is years most
of the new nations will be on the Dark Con-
tinent.

WE'RE NOT CHILDREN

Why is it that some men who occupy high
places in government are reluctant to trust
the people with the truth? This question is
prompted by the pointless delay in revealing
that the "slight chill'' suffered by President
Eisenhower was in reality mild stroke.
Even after the true nature of the Presi-
dents ailment was disclosed, there was con-
fusion as to its seriousness. Reporters were
not permitted to interview the consulting
physicians. They sought in vain to get clear
direct answers to simple questions that were
the legitimate concern of the American peo-
pie. The result was welter of humors and
fears of the sort which the White House had
tried to avert.
There was no valid reason for spoon
feeding the public with news of the Presi-
dents attack little at time When there
is bad news, the people should promptly be
given a straight, clear-cut account of it.
Americans are the free citizens of great
nation. They should not be treated like chill
dren.

s51 BILLION ISN'T ENOUGH


ed to provide Al, 1000 miles of roads over a
13-year period at cost of $51 billion. But
now, according to growing body of evil
dence, it begins to appear that even that in
credible sum of money isn't enough for the
job. Some authorities think the present ap-
preparation will pay for only half the new
roads we need
It's interesting to relate this king-sized
problem to something that is going on in the
termined efforts were made to lift truck
weight limits to the startling figure of $4,000
pounds. The Illinois and Wisconsin legisla-
lures did pass such bills, but in both cases
they were vetoed by the state governors, on
advice of highway authorities. In Texas the
bill passed the House but died in the Senate
when, repeatedly, members began Hear
ing from the folks back home"
WisconSin's Governor Thomson, in ex-
planning his veto, said: Probably not more
than 10 per cent of our Class A highways are
constructed to carry such loads" The cost
of such superhighways is unbelievably high.
So is the cost of maintenance. And they are
definitely not needed by private cars and by
trucks of moderate size, which make up the
vast majority of the traffic.
Soaring road costs are commonly blamed
on imitation. This is a factor, but not the
only one by any means. The oversize trucks
constitute one of the principal reasons.
That's why more and more people, in and out
of government, are coming to believe that it
is time to review our methods of raising road
money-and to share the costs on a more
equitable basis than is the case today.
THE WRONG IMAGES
The Russian propaganda success with the
Sputniks has revealed that this country has
committed grave errors in the images of
America which it has sought to establish
abroad by propaganda and international
policy. The high standard of living in Amer
lea has been emphasized as demonstration
of superiority over the Russian system. But
the people of the backward countries can nev-
er hope to attain small fraction of what
millions of Americans now enjoy. Even in
western Europe, America has induced per-
haps unnecessary envy by its emphasis on
American prosperity. 7
The need which the leaders of backward
countries feel keenly is that of Industrial
izing as rapidly as possible. They do not be-
lieve that they have the time to industrialize
which was given to America. This suggests
one of the reasons why the Soviet Union has
seemed like model or example for various
Asian leaders and intelectuals.
The Russian leaders have been able to
develop Russia industrially and to produce
earth satellites by sweating and enslaving
the Russian people. But in Asia, the en-
slavement of Russians, and also of Lithuan-
ians Litvaks and Esthonians, does not usu-
ally arouse many chords of. sympathy. To
Asians, success is more impressive than free
DOM
Freedom has been the crucial issue, and
American propaganda has often watered
down the appeal of freedom by over-empha-
sizing prosperity and richness. A belief about
America has been jolted by Sputnik Fresh
thought must be given Immediately to the
problems of propaganda and international
policy.
