Early this week the honorary pail
bearers, in the person of 13 inter
nationally famous disc jockeys, ar
rived in New York to attend the
final rites, which appropriately
enough took place in a musty movie
studio hard by Manhattan's HelPs
Kitchen.
In the best traditions of the mu-
sical industry they quietly disposed
of the still warm rock n roll
corpse by burying it under noun
tain CT publicity for its heir ap-
parent, known in the trade as "the
new music.
The shotgun wedding of Madison
Avenue to Tin Pan Alley has failed
So far to come up with a name
for the new music but it goes un-
der the working title of Ballad
With a Beat.
It will get its first big plug in
the forthcoming movie "Jamboree"'
which further accounts for the
presence of the disc jockeys at the
studio. All appear in the picture to
give their official blessing to the
new music. Among them are How
ard Miller, Of Chicago, Dick Clark
of Philadelphia, AL Jarvis, of Holly
wood, Zenas Sears, of Atlanta, Milt
Grant, of Washington, Gerry Myers
Of Ottawa, Keith Sandy of Toron-

disc jockeys who parade across the
screen to introduce .the 20 new
songs.
Milford chronicle., 1957-08-16

The songs are performed by such
recording stars as Count Basic and
his orchestra, the Four Coins, Fats
Domino, Connie Francis, Joe Will
liams, Jody Sands, frankie Avalon
and several other reformed rock n
rollers.
What will the new mdsic be like?
Chris Howland, a pleasant Eng
lishman who lives in Cologne and
does a German disc Jockey show
over West Deufehen Rundfunk and
an English disc jockey show for the
British Forces Network, described
it as "a type of song that will give
singing back to the singers.
The old fashioned. love ballad has
replaced the hillbilly yodel that
formed the basis of rock N roll
and the beat has been slowed down
to something resembling a COM
bination of rhumba and tango.
One disc jockey, evidently having
trouble adjusting musical gears,
acidly compared it TO a 78-speed
rock n roll record played on a IS
turntable.
Most, however, agreed. that the
melody would be easier on the ears.
the lyrics easier on the intellect,
and the emotional effect more dull
cifying on feen-aged fadists than
the current frantic pops leaders.
Skeptics might say the only thing
new about the new music is its
name-or lack of one-but its tenn
pered tempo, with or without a
perceptible beat, sure beats rock
N roll. And it's bound to revive
the singing fortunes of balladeers
like Eddie Fisher, Vic Damone and
others.

Milford, Delaware
August II, 1857
Dear Friends:
] had expected that by this time
today we would be much closer to
Topeka than Delaware and here
we are still in our favorite town.
was sick all of yesterday and felt
| Just could not weather that plane
trip today, hence the delay. We
have just packed all our luggage in
the Tri-Paeer at Milford Air Park
and will leave about 1880 in the
MOI ming. Our II days at home have
flown and as always we hate to
leave, but Forbes Air Force Base
expects Hayes to sign in Wednes-
day night at midnight and we must
be on our way. / haven't told you
before, but we have recently pur-
chased another home in Topeka
that will be completed III October
so we are anxious to see the prog
ress the carpenters have made
with it during our leave. I'll write
to you in another letter about it.
Do you know that we arrived
home the 26th of July and the 9th
we were at the Kent-Sussex Fair ?
| never dreamed that we would
see the fair this year, but we just
got home in time. My sister, Anne,
and her hubby, Bill Minner, have
box seats at the fair and they
wanted us to see the evening show
with them. 1t was all very good,
loved the fireworks, but best of all
we four liked the Four Lads. They
are four nice looking men who sing
all over the country and have
many recordings on the market
that are favorites with the teen
ayers.
Sunday morning my mother and
| attended morning Worship at the
Presbyterian Church here in town.
| had never seen the church since
its renovation and thought it was
just lovely. Was nice to hear Rev
erend Jaegar's inspiring sermon,
too. That afternoon my dad took
us to dinner in Rehoboth so | could
begin filling up on seafood. Being
exactly in the middle of the United
States in Topeka, there is a dearth
of almost every type of seafood and
we get so starved for it while we're
away.
The 18th of July, Mother, Hayes
and | drove up to Wilmington. Our
main purpose for going up state
was for Hayes to apply for his
Korean bonus that Delaware is
giving all boys who were in the
service during that war. We had
not heard about it until recently.
Apparently many of you haven't
because there has been minimum
response to this offer by our home
state. The deadline for applica-
tions is December 81 of this year,
so if you're eligible look into it.
Well, my real purpose for going to
Wilmington that Monday was to
shop in the stores up state. While
Hayes and mother were listening
to organ music in Wanamaker'

COST OF MEDICAL CARE

u. S. News and World Report has pub
lished lengthy article on whether doctors
fees and other medical expenses are too high
or not high enough. This account is largely
factual in nature-and some of the facts de-
serve widespread understanding.
Medical costs, like all other costs, have
risen. Even so, over considerable period of
time-1936 to the present-average charges
by doctors have risen substantially less than
the cost of living as whole. And the typical
charge made by doctor for a home visit is
little if any more than that of TV repair
man or other mechanic.
Hospital charges have undergone what
the magazine calls "a spectacular rise" Yet
a proft-making hospital is a rare institution,
and most hospitals must look to gifts and
revenue sources other than patients pay
mentS to balance the books
What has happened is that, in addition
to the general living and operating cost
jumps that have hit medicine along with ev-
erything else, we now demand and get much
more medical service than we used to, There
are all manner of valuable drugs and other
aids to recovery that didn't even exist q COM
paratively few years back The services of
specialists are in ever-greater use. Ard peo-
pie go to hospitals where they used to be
served at home. For instance, u. S. News
says that in 1856, all but small proportion
of babies were born in hOspitals-where as
late as 1886, this was true of only 81 per
cent of infants.
The magazine estimates that the average
family pays $278 year for medical care
figure that includes doctors, dentists, OPTIC
n1etrists, disqualification, drugs and prescrip-
tions, and health insurance Most people
will agree that we get great deal in return
for that sum. And there is very indication
that, by and large, the costs are as moderate
as the conditions of the time permit

in relation TO q policy as highly
controversial and as admittedly
imperfect as that now being
pursued by our Central Bank.
Thus. it was with keen de-
light that last evening I came
across a short article in the
Current Economic Comment Of
the University Of Illinois by
Michigan State University Pro-
fessor John M. Hunter con-
demning those who loosely use
the word sound" as lazy, care

What does the word sound"
mean? According to webster's,
here are some definitions which
could be applied to economic
policies: Free from flaw. defect.
or decay: Arm; strong; safe:
trustworthy; stable: founded
in truth or right; not fallacious
or faulty: showing good judg-
ment or good sense; orthodox.
And here are synonyms Web
ster suggests for sound: Flaw
less, perfect, sturdy; depend
able, reliable.
Against these definitions, can
the Federal Reserves policy Of
aggressive restrictions on credit
be called sound?

State Man Stands
By Plane In Wilds

Everett 3. Chamberlain of WyO-
ming, Del, remained safe through
Wednesday night, staying in the
Canadian wilds with a damaged
plane of the U. S. Fish and Wild
life Service.
According to his wife he will
remain with the plane until
flight companion, with whom he
was making an aerial survey of
wildlife, returns with needed parts
and a mechanic of the Lycoming
Aircraft Company located in up
state New York.
Mrs. Chamberlain said from her
home in Wyoming Wednesday
night that she does not expect
word of her husband until he ac-
tually returns. She said that the
service has been in contact with
the situation and that the return
flight will depend upon the accom-
plishment of repairs to the am
phibious plane.
Charles d. Evans of the Fish and
Game Service, who was on the trip
with Chamberlain, was flown out
of the woods on Monday when a
plane arrived in answer to a dis
tress call. The plane in which
Chamberlain and Evans were flying
was repOrted forced down by en-
CINE trouble on a forest river. At
the landing point the ship was re-
ported - have suffered further
damage to it's floating equipment.
The flight was routine part of
wildfowl counting which the two
have been carrying on since early
June in the Canadian breeding
areas.
Sufficient supplies were reported
to be a part of the planes equip
ment and in remaining with the
ship Chamberlain is lot expected
to run into any hardships. His
main problem is to guard the plane
from further damage at the point
where it is beached along the will
derness river.
The stream in which the plane
made its forced landing is reported
to be the Great Whale River and
the point of landing several hun
dred miles from any sizeable set
tlement.
Chamberlain is an Air Force Re
servist attached to Flight E, 949Sth
Air Reserve Squadron, based in
/ Dover.
