YEAR FRIENDS:


Consider the usual
summer woes of the
social reporter, who
has a hard week ever
so often, to get enough news
of that nature to make a show
ing in this corner of our pa
. per. That languid feeling that
accompanies hot weather has
struck all with such terrific
force as TO drive all ideas of
parties out of ones head, and
the quiet and cool places are
the most sought after. There
are a few interesting things, I
hope, to tell you about in a
very short space.
First, last Friday I met Miss
Dorothy Schwartz, of Gosslar,
Germany. who arrived in the
United States to spend the
coming year with the Reverend
and Mrs. Douglas Milbury. She
is an exchange student and
will attend school here. There
were many things of interest to
her that she had seen already
and the thought of the store of
knowledge and experiences
Dorothy will be carrying back
to her home next year would
make an interesting story. You
are remembering. too, that
Anne MiI5ury is leaving the
26th for New Windsor, Md,
for her briefing for her year in
Germany. She will fly from
New York with a group of stu
dents, also exchange ones.
These young people can abb
sorb much of our culture and
match it with their own in
foreign lands just as our youth
will do. adding to the benefit of
all, we hope, in human rela-
tions.
The town library was recent
ly bequeathed the library of
Mrs. Mary Smith Kessler. On
Tuesday. for your benefit, sew
eral members of the library
staff met at the home of Mrs.
Byron Gibson and went over
the volumes, selecting what
would be usable and those to
discard. The work was done
in the basement and was fol-
lowed by a social time in the
midst of the books, that will
possibly bring you enjoyment.
1t was work with fun for those
who were there. The addition
of appreciated gift books are
wonderful for the readers, but
they do create a problem as to
what to do with them in the
limited space the library now
occupies. The need for a new
building to house the many
thousands of books that COM
pose the Milford New Library
is ever present and hope
Milford chronicle., 1957-07-19
COLUMN OF SOCIAL EVENTS,
OCCURRING DURING THE
PAST WEEK

springs eternal that the need
may soon be met.
The meeting of old friends
is always pleasant, and so was
the luncheon, arranged last
Friday by Mrs. Simeon Rich
ardsoa for Mrs. S. C. Evans.
Present we're Miss Ida Roosa,
Mrs. Jacob H. Roosa and Mrs.
Leila Jennings. They can tell
much of Milford, past and
present, and all of it would be
a glimpse of history gone by,
and some of 1t in the making.
Recent luncheon guests of Mrs.
Evans and Mrs. Richardson
were Miss Emma Macdonald
and Miss Euphenia Macdonald
of Peoria, Illinois, Miss Anne
Davidson and Miss Mae Mearns
OF Wilmington.
Also on the social side, there
was coffee last week given by
Mrs. Carson Ward, a lunch
con today given for the mem
bers of the Sewing Club by Mrs.
Edwin L. Fisher at her cottage
at Rehoboth. These are the
weeks that youngsters get off
to camp for a wonderful time
out-Of-doors, where classes are
held as well as all kinds of
sports activities. And speak
ing of out-of-door living, Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Mercer and
their daughters, Anne and Kay,
have been spending the past
three weeks camping. Their
station wagon was a well pack
ed means of transportation
when they took off and it look
ed as if they had remembered
everything they would need for
this good vacation. They went
to the Dakota Black Hills be-
fore going on to Grand Canyon
and Yellowstone Park. The
girls will have many things
of interest to tell in school this
fall, and the older members
will have a lot to impart, too.
Mrs. Lucy Lippert, of WASH
ington, mother of Mrs. Mercer,
accompanied them on the trip.
They are expected home this
weekend. Susan Kirby, who is
in Johns Hopkins Hospital and
is being operated upon Friday,
was surprised by her young
friends on Hall Place Monday
evening, who presented her
with a comfort bag of gifts to
take with her to be opened
while she is a patient there.
1t softened the going for her as
it made her happy to know
that those close by wished her
so well. A kindness, little or
big, helps so much.
Did you bear with me this
far? Thanks a lot!
Always,
Virginia S. Townsend

Defense Costs Far Greater Than Budget
Being Cut Expected to Confront McEIroy

Wilson's final task was un-
enviable enough. Il was to
cut defense spending by all
manner Of harsh expedients
In order to stay under the
present debt limit. The cuts
are under attack. but since
Congress had indicated II
would noh raise the debt
limit. they can be defended.
The new defense policy TO
be brought before the Con-
gress next January Il an
other story. What has not
yet been faced anywhere IL
that all projections for . de-
Tense built on the develop
ment Of guided missiles show
costs far In excess Of the
budget now being slashed.
In addition. Secretary Of
State Dulles Is talking in
terms Of conventional arma-
ments for limited wars. Until
lately he had stressed the
massive retaliation possible
with the new weapons and
had ignored the critics who
called for limited war prep
arations as well.
