Dear Friends:
My two table, weekly bridge club
just walked out our front door into
the 93o sun and now | may sit
down and write my letter to you.
Don't you just love to receive a
letter from someone you haven't
heard from in a long time or an
swer the phone and hear a voice
of a friend you haven't seen for
months, maybe years? Both of
these pleasantries happened to me
this past week
| received the incest letter from
Doris Sockrider Lyman this past
week Doris and her husband, Joe,
live in Los Angeles now and she
reads my column each week and
one of my recent ones inspired her
to write to me. They have only
been in California few months,
formerly living in st. Louis. Joe
is with an investment firm out west
and they both seem so happy with
their latest home.
The other day l answered the
phone to hear someone say, "This
is Rena Richardson from Dover. /"
At first l thought she meant Dover,
Kansas and then like a streak of
lightning it dawned on me that this
girl was Eileen and Bill Spence's
friend whom we met at a beach
party at the Spence cottage. DR..

with the State Board of Health in

KIDS TO BE PROUD OF

As an antidote to lurid reports
of teen-age gang "rumbles", knit
ings. shootings, muggings and sex
offenses, consider the 18th annual
conclave of Boys Nation, just COM
pleted in the Nations Capital un-
der sponsorship of The American
Legion.
This is sthe traditional convoca-
tion of 17-year-old senators, two
from a state, and elected by the
10000 high school juniors who are
members of the forty-seven Boys
States, and their equivalents in the
voteless District of Columbia and
Panama Canal Zone.
Divided into "Nationalists" and
"Federa1ists" they held party con-
ventions, constructed what they
hoped were : vote-getting party
platforms, elected their own Presi-
dent, and Vice President, the vic
tor appointing his own cabinet and
Supreme Court justices.
AS in the past, these ambitious
and civic-minded young men also
toured the Capitol, visited the SEN
ators from their respective states,
laid wreaths at the Tombs of the
Unknowns, attended a special Pen
tagon briefing and generally saw"
official Washington. The major inn
preston gained from it all by Pres
ident Daniel M. Lund, of Culver
City, California, the victorious Fed
eralist candidate, is that "politi-
clans" are sincere, qualified and
dedicated men who are doing their
best under considerable difficulty
and deserve support instead of
sneers. If he and his fellows can
persuade few of their elders that
public service is no joke, they
will be doing a noble deed.
The Legion is to be congratu-
lated on initiating. supporting and
promoting Boys State and Boys
Nation as practical, nationwide ex-
ercises in good citizenship and
training for statesmanship, and as
demonstration at the community
level that Juvenile delinquency is
not, after all, a mysterious ailment
of our times that we have to put
up with.

BABSON DISCUSSES The 1858 CROP OUTLOOK

plus. The August 1 carryover is
estimated to be down to about
8,700,000 bales, and probably will
be cut sharply again a year hence
in view of the very small acreage
in cultivation on July 1-Only H.
100000 acres-compared with the
J947-1956 acreage of 22,611, 900 acres.
Even though this acreage will be
intensively cultivated, the final
outturn of cotton will fall far short
of 1958-1959 domestic and expert
needs. Hence the expected further
cut in stocks. This means that sup
plies of better grades of cotton may
tighten materially as the new sea-
son works along.
1t is still a bit early in the sea-
son for me to hazard a guess on
soybean production, but since
planted acreage is at record high,
another huge crop is probable, given
favorable weather conditions. Farm
stocks recently were we'll below
the year-ago figure, but were still
the third highest of record for the
date. Thus, there should be no
dearth of this wonder bean in the
crop year beginning this October L.
The indicated supply-demand ra-
ito does not augur sustained price
strength.
Farm Income Outlook
Farmers realized net income in
the first half of this year was at
an annual rate of about $13,300,-
000, ,0O0-up % per cent from the
corresponding 1857 figure. There
may be a moderate drop in the
second half Although u S. farm
ers as a whole should do fairly we'll
this year, some of their basic eco
nomic problems remain unsolved

Dollar Day Will Be
Held In Wilmington

Wilmington's 82nd semi-annual
Dollar Day will be observed by
hundreds of the city's metropolitan
stores on Wednesday, August 6.
Sponsored by the Retail Mer-
chants Section of the Delaware
State Chamber of Commerce, this
will be a Single opportunity day"
for thrifty and bargain seeking
shoppers in any and all lines of
merchandise, according to Samuel
H. Morrison, Chairman of the Co
operative and Advertising Commit
tee which has been planning this
Dollar Day event for months.
It's a one-day event and will be
held-come rain or shine. Bar
gains in seasonal merchandise as
well as exceptionally sharp mark
downs in summer stock which must
be moved to provide space for more
new winter inventory will be pos
sible on this one day only.
The bargains to be offered on
Dollar Day will not be possible at
any of the stores before or after
this big pre-fall sales carnival, Mr..
Morrison noted.
The money-saving values will be
found not only in summer mer-
chandise but there will be bar
gains throughout the entire range
of retail merchandising.
Every effort has been made by
the cooperating Dollar Day mer
chants to provide top-quaiity and
name-brand merchandise at the
lowest possible prices on Dollar
Day. The Committee Chairman
noted that the Wilmington area
merchants are foregoing the usual
profit margin and gambling on
volume so that every possible pen
ny saved can be passed on to thrift
ty shoppers.
Bargain seeking shoppers from
all of the Delmarva Peninsula as
well as nearby Pennsylvania and
Southern New Jersey are expected
AS on other Dollar Day events
to join with those of the Whining
ton area in sharing this one of two
big days each year when the vii
mington merchants go "all out" in
a campaign to offer top merchan-
disc at the lowest possible prices
Mr. Morrison noted that this is
not a Notwithstanding SALE
Many merchants have had to re-
plenish stocks to meet the expected
Dollar Day demand. And all of this
buying on the worlds leading
wholesale markets has been held
TO the top brand merchandise
handled by the same merchandise
the year round.
The Dollar Day stores will be
plainly marked by trail of dis
tinctive Dollar Day signs in their
windows. The same scheme will be
carried out inside the cooperating
stores on their price tags and
counter cards.
A special note is added for those
who plan to use their automobiles
for the shopping trip to Whining
ION.
Many of the cooperating stores
are participants in Wilmington's
downtown Validated Parking Plan
which makes it possible for shop
0ers to park free-on the basis of
sufficient purchases. Twelve con-
-eniently located parking lots or
garages, including the huge 500
ar Midtown Parking Center at
Ninth and Shipley Streets, opera
ed by the Wilmington Parking
authority and also the authority's

Milford chronicle., 1958-08-01

Year after year, am amazed how
American farmers, given favorable
crop conditions, continue to pro-
duce more and more from less and
less. My first survey of 1858 crop
prospects indicates total outturn
equaling that of any previous year
and this from the smallest total
planted acreage in forty years of
comparable record. Here are some
of the highlights.
Babson Park, Mass. July 81.
Wheat And Some Other Grains
Production of winter wheat is ex-
pected to hit a record high of l.
10000, 900 bushels-up so per cent
from 1857 and 33 per cent above
the 1947-1956 average of 850,000,000
bushels. Although the indicated
spring wheat outturn of around
214,000,000 bushels is the second
smallest since 1899, the total U. S.
crop will be the second largest of
record. Despite the fact that stocks
of old wheat on farms recently
were we'll below average total wheat
supplies will more than suffice for
1883 needs. Seasonal factors al
so initiate against sustained
price rise over the near term.
Mother Nature has favored sew
eral of the other grains. Outturns
of barley and rye, for instance, will
top the ten-year acreage. These
sizable crops come on the heels
of large carryovers-69 per cent
above average in the case of bar
ley and 10 per cent above in the
case of rye Above-average crops
are indicated also for both hay and
sugar beets. Although the oats
crop may be a little below average,
unusually heavy farm stocks as
sure easily ample total SUPPLIES.

SAME PURPOSE-NEW
APPROACH

One thing you may be sure of,
the proponents of Federal aid to
education will never stop trying.
The new gimmick-following re-
peated failures to force Congress
sional passage of bills to pay tea
chers and build schools-is to
dress this Federal encroachment on
local responsibility in a dashing
military cloak.
H. r. 13247, entitled National
Defense Education Act of 1852
will be up for vote in the House
very soon. And considering the
gentlemen's preoccupation with
the political chores waiting at
home, they might admire the sol
dierly cut of this garment and not
look to see what's under it.
But the Council of State Cham
bers of Commerce, which has made
thorough analysis of Federal Aid
to Education-1958 Style, thinks
that in these times of rising Fed
eral budgets and growing deficits,
taxpayers shoult. expect Congress
to find better uses for their money
than an unneeded and undesirable
Federal Scholarship program.
Eugene F. Rinta, research direc-
tor of the Council who directed and
prepared the study said of H. R.
13247: Its passage in this session
of Congress would become the op-
ening wedge fol future enactment
of the kind of program the Nation
al Education Association and other
proponents of Federal aid really
want; that is. program calling
for the Federal Government to be-
come a major participant with the
communities and the States in fl
nancing the public schools"
Such a program, said Mr.. Rinta,
contemplates annual Federal ex-
penditures for public education
several times the size of the $840
million four-year cost of H. r.
13247. He noted further that even
though any possible defense bene-
fits that might result are years in
the future, the giEamick of the cloak
seems to have fooled a lot of peo-
pie in and out of Congress who
have been traditionally opposed to
Federal efforts to control the
schools. Nor have many stopped to
realize that the fact that scholar
ships in the very subjects the bill
proposes are going begging now.
Whatever is spent on education
must still come out of local pants
pockets and pocketbooks and cook
lie jars. And it will still 0e spent
more thoughtfully at home than in
Washington. Whether Washington
proposes to Guy scholarships or
school bcdses, to pay teachers or

The f1axseed crop threatens to be
relatively small. Farm stocks of
this item also are sharply under a

This may augur some stringency
in supplies of linseed oil and lin

Last year our merchandise EXPORTS ex-

or almost per cent of the value of all
the goods and services we produced 1t is
estimated that 4.50O,0OO workers. per
cent of the whole labor force-are employed
in import activities and in producing and
servicing exports.
Whv do we import? For one thing, if
we don't buy from others they can't or won t
buy from us. More than that the u. S. is
rapidly becoming a "have-not" nation in
many of the basic natural resources. We
imported S13 billion worth of goods last year
and about $40 billion consisted of raw ma
terials and seni-processed commodities which
are essential to the productive processes of
a long list of basic domestic industries. And
we must depend upon overseas sources for
the majority of the critical and strategic ma
terials used in defense production.
The growth Of our industrial might, the
welfare of orr labor force and the 'lowly''
consumer--to saw nothing of the success of
our foreign relations-all are to significant
degree dependent upon policies which permit

WE NEED LOYAL AMERICANS

1t is favorite pastime of most Americans
to discuss what the country needs. Just now
however, in a period as critical as any that
the Republic has faced, we might point out
that the nation needs most the loyal support
of patriotic men and women and the conf
dence of those who believe in the democratic
way of life.
There is no substitute for loyalty. Flag
waving, public demonstrations and commun-
ity-wide expressions of solidarity do not re-
place the faithful individual upon whom sue
cessful government depends. AS citizen, it
is essential for you to make your contribution
to the United States of America.
We do not know, and we would hesitate
to suggest. what any man, woman, or child
do In the the present emergency. We do
not have the intelligence to outline a pro-
gram for all to follow. We would modestly
recommend, however, that loyal Americans
consider their present condition and the
plight of their country and then make some
positive contribution to the common good.
Do not mislead yourself. You cannot
make positive contribution to the cause of
civilization in the face of great danger with
out some personal sacrifice. If you have any
plan in mind which enables you to escape the
pressure of world conditions, you can put it
aside because it will not work. You cannot
contribute at profit.

Washington Letter : BY Robert Nelson Taylor

But the bill, H. R. 8O02, is pres
emily languishing in the Senate APP
propriations Committee And it
does not seem that the senators,
who from time to time have men
toned their passion for economy
to the constituents, are very anx-
ious to dlslodge it.
This is the bill that would pre-
vent the various Government agen-
cies and bureaus from squirreling
away enormous accumulations of
funds they hadn't been able to
spend, and which, as matters stand,
Congress is powerless to recover
and redistribute
Unless there is some public pres
pears destined to gather dust un-
til 1859. But, if. by any chance.
it were to be passed now. those
senatorial speeches on reducing
the taxpayers burden-which we
