Dinner At Georgetown
H IGNORING g County's
Sta t e Senators And
Representatives w a S
Well Attended.

Sussex County Farm Bureau en-
tertained state senators and repre-
sentatives frcm the county at din
ner in Jones Memorial Hall at
Georgetown last Wednesday night.
In the first of such occasions
ever held in the county, the Farm
Bureau asked the cooperation of
the Legislators in their program
and offered future discussions as
circumstances indicated.
Floyd Short, state legislative
chairman of the bureau, read reso-
lutions which had recently been
passed by the state group, includ-
ing the request for a right to
work" law and asked for comment.
At one point in the program, the
tables were turned upon the bureau
when State Senator Walter j. Hoey
(D-Milford) urged that they oppose
the bill for zoning in Kent and
Sussex Counties.
He asked individual members of
the county bureau, including large
land owners such as Charles Mills,
Rehoboth, and Jonathan Wheat1ey,
Laurel, if they were familiar with
the bill, and offered to send them
copies.
I'm telling you that this bill
may mean a lot to you-I don't
think Sussex County realizes just
how much" Senator Hoey said.
He said that he believed there
should be some sort of regulation
on unsightly building and the like,
but that the bill as prepared puts
too much power in the hands of a
few-power that belongs to you
people and not to agencies"

The Circle of Dimes, George

for Saturday, February End.
The Rev. David B. Mulford, rec
tor of st. PauPs Episcopal Church,

man for the 1857, campaign, said
that most weather forecasts had
shown a break in the cold wave by
that date. The month of January,
the official period for the polio
drive, was abandoned because pro-
fessional weathermen indicated no
let-up in the cold during that time.
The Circle of Dimes, considered
the only one of its type in the coun-
try, acts in manner similar to the

Between The Lines
FREEDOM OF THE PRESS

Nobody knows how many fail
ures the Russians had before
sputnik was launched but me
world did mot have the big laugh
it had when our operation Van
guard failed dismally. More than
once in this column the warning
has been sounded that we are
not going to get anywhere by I'M
derrating Russia and the COM
munists.
The Russians are shrewd and
resourceful and it is going to take
the best we have and all we have
to stem the tide of communism.
When we succeeded in atomic
fission and fusion, we became
proud and boastful and defiant:
We seemed to take it for granted
that we were ahead, and would
be until the end of time.
II the failure Of operation VAN
guard does nothing more than di-
vest us of some of our swagger
and bullyism it will have made a
great contribution to our securi-
ty. AS we look upon our recent
Vanguard failure we are inclined
TO lay a lot of our nations en-
barassment at the doors of the
publicist who literally got in the
way rhen we needed room in the
attempt to launch the Vanguard.
There is always danger in the
times of critical developments
that the crowd will get in the way
as in the case Of fire. There are
certain times and circumstances
that limit the freedom of the
press. Vanguard will rise!

- Dean eOrdsa B. Hancock

In my university days had an
old professor of philosophy, who
would often lecture thus: young
men, 1t is good to-. have open
minds; but it is not good to have
them wide open" The wide
open" mind is just as undesirable
as the closed mind. There must
be moderation and common sense
here. rs everywhere. in the do
main of the spiritual and mater
ial world.
One of the freedoms which we
OF American traditions prize most
highly is the freedom of the press.
But there are reasons to believe
that we carry this freedom too
far and often make matters
worse thereby.
The principle underlying this
freedom of the press cannot be
gainsaid; but unless this principle
is sobered with common sense we
can do irreparable damage by
trying to publish everything
about everything. This column
has made bold TO state many
times herein before that the COM
munistS do not need to send spies
to this country; they could get
all the information they want by
simply reading our daily news
papers and our magazine publi-
cations.
We have taken the ideal of
freedom of the press and abused
it after such manner that the
time Is at hand when we need to
curb the notion about the free
dom of the press. It becomes more
and more difficult to see how we
can have security with our cur
rent practices and policies on the
freedom Of the press. It becomes
more and more difficult to see
how we can have security with
our current practices and policies
on the freedom of the press.
The nation as nation does not
have privacy any more. 1t mat
tiers not how important for seclir-
ity reasons any happening may
be, the newsmen and publicists
must tell II to the world in the
name Of freedom of the press.
The press Of the nation has
subverted the ideal of freedom OF
the press and turned Il into lie
ense to probe ana publish any
thing that comes along, irrespec-
tive of whether or not the secur-
ity OF the nation is involved. 1t is
mighty good to have freedom Of
the press but il Is dangerous to
have 1t too free just as 1t Is dam
gerous to have the mind "wide
OPEN"
All Of our nations embarrass-
ment and humiliation could have
been averted If in the name oi
freedom of the press, the publi-
cists and news-scoopers could
have been held in hand. The real
failure of operation Vanguard
was not the scientists; but the
press. The scientists were out 10
experiment and the publicists
were out for a '.show-off, and
that there was dismal failure
need occasion no surprise.
How could our great scientists
do their best with the publicists
looking down their threats? What
shAald have been private DEM
onstration for scientists only
turned out to be q show for those
who feel that the freedom Of the
press must be served even 4 the
ends of national security are not.
We can learn lesson from
Russia who did not say q word
about her "little moon" until Il
was aloft in its orbit. Why was
not there the same secrecy shout
our attempts? But 1t Is greatly 70
be feared that our ideals Of tne
freedom Of the press must be re-
vised If we are going to compete

Blues In And Down

'Funky" is a word sometimes
used in musical circles to describe
bluesy-type tune that's really
bluesy. Muddy Waters latest cut,
Got My Mojo Working, on a
Chess label, is the apex in funk"
Muddy screams, chants, hollers,
and walls in the bluesology that
like a cold, is catching. On the
flip side are those real down home
talking blues designed apparently
either to make you cry or never
smile again. This bit of fast
funk is called Rock Me-, and is
no more than the standard bounce
type tune that is so redundant in
these times.
Kansas City Joe Turner made
his way to Bluesville, this time
on blues rocker similar in melody
to the typical Turner TRADE of
tunes, Duke Records waxed the
side and Turner named it After
A While" On the other side, Joe
tried Red Sails in the Sunset" on
a rhythm and blues kick. Here he
sounds like a combination of Fats
Domino and Elvis Presley singing
"Aaids."
Tune tale teller Chuck Berry
seems to Ike the novelty-type
productions dealing with subjects
otherwise $3.50 until he adds his
| Jest to the act. Such is the case on
Berrys school Day, another
hurricane, fun of jump, 1--WE and
jest.
Buddy Johnson's Orchestra is

"Oh, Baby Don't You Know" A
