Dear Friends:
There are places that you have
been patronizing all your lives
that a stranger might look at
rather effectively. If you have
grown up with a place" you see it
in a different light from one who
sees it for the first time. Marga-
ret Hanna Scott is a native of
Topeka and she looks at her town
from an entirely different view
point than 1, who have lived here
only the past five years.
Margaret and her two brothers
are well known in this capitol city
of 100000 midwesterners. Jerry
Scott and his two brother-in-laws,
have one of the leading stores in
the metropolitan part of Topeka.
They have chic mems clothing
store. So chic that / think I've
purchased one article of clothing
there since our tenure here. Their
suits are tailored by Oxford and
run about $500 per. their gorgeous
new winter bulky sweaters cost in
the cozy neighborhood of $45 to
$65.00.
Margaret and Jerry Scott are
neighbors of ours. We've enjoyed
them so much since we have lived
on McAlister. Margaret has tried
to show me the part of Topeka l
have missed so far. Wednesday
was our day to go see Topeka's s
favorite home owned restaurant.

CANDIDATES WILLIAMS. HAS
KELL ISSUE JOINT. STATEMENT

OANO1OA1ES W1LLAAMSs HAS
KELL ISSUE JOINT STATEMENT
u. S. Senator John j. Williams
and u. S. Representative Harry G.
HasBell, Jr., the two top Republi-
can candidates in this falls cleo
ton, today issued a 1,600-word joint
statement spelling out the broad
principles and policies they will
support if reelected, to provide
a stronger national defense, an
expanding economy, increased econ
omy in Government, help for hui
man problems, assistance for Della
ware problems, and sensible farm
program.
Calling the opportunities and
problems which. will confront the
country in the next few years "a
great challenge" which must be
met with "boldness and determi-
nation, Senator Williams and Con-
gressman Haskell said, "In both as
poets of this great challenge, the
Congress will play vitality i'm
portant role"
The big opportunities ahead of
US, they said, are "the chance to
work for world peace and to pro-
vide a better way of life for every
individual here at home. We believe
that the people of Delaware are
entitled to have clear, unequivo-
cal statement of the broad princi-
pies and policies we will support.
We believe further that there is a
clear-cut difference on these prin-
ciples between our opponents and
ourselves and we will devote this
campaign to spelling out the diff
erences as they apply to specific
issues"
On national defense, the two
Delaware Legislators declared, "The
most critical problem facing us
today is to establish and maintain
he strongest possible national de-
tense that can safeguard our free
1om from any wOuld-be aggressor. "
To achieve strong national de-
tense, the Williams-Haskell pro-
gram pledged support for the fol-
lowing basic policies:
/. Stronger airpOwer, including
missile development. and increased
mobility of Army, Navy and Marine
forces.
2. Better Iong-range research and
development program.
8. New .budgetary methods to pro-
vide more control of our huge mill
'ary expenditures.
a. Greater authority for the Secre-
tary of Defense over the use OF the
individual military services to re-
Iuce interservice pickering and du-
nlication. The Defense Re-organi-
zation Bill passed by Congress this
wear. they said, was "a big step IN
he right direction.
Turning to the nations economy,

prosperity of business is a mat
ter of direct concern to every fam
;lv in Delaware. Our industrial sys-

FAVORED RED CLASS

Whatever else Communism does for the
people under its rule, it does not treat them
all alike. Although supposedly Communism
is classless society, actually, there are def
mite groups that have economic privileges
denied the rest.
This is instanced by conditions in Runaa-
MIA, reported in the New York Times by A.
NJ Rosenthal. Rumanian shop windows, it
seems, are filled with up-tO-date refrigera-
tors, durable textiles and fashionable dress
es, toys, perfumes, fine hats, and many other
commodities. These are the sort of thing
an American department store offers in guam
tity, but which are tantaliZing novelties to
the RumanianS.
Who buys these articles? Not the ordi-
nary man or woman A suit would cost two
months savings, radio years. The buy
ers are Communism's favored classes-en-
gineers, scientists, directors and, of course
high officials. The gulf between these favor
ed folk and ordinary citizens is far wider
than in any capitalist nation.
The man in the street gets to look at the
fine consumer goods. But under Communism
window7shopping is as far as he can get.
IT'S AN EMERGENCY!
Awhile back there was news story about
a man and wife who failed in their frantic
efforts to reach a doctor for their dying
child. In desperation, they sped to the near
est hospital. The child was dead on arrival
A short time later there was another
news story. 1t concerned farmer whose
barn was destroyed by fire because he was
unable to reach the fire department. BY the
time he had aroused distant neighbors, it
was too late.
These stories have one thing in common
In both instances, efforts to get help were
thwarted because someone refused to give
up telephone line long enough to let call
go through.
Such incidents are too common to permit
complacency. There should be a tougher
breakdown on those-whether motivated by
stubbornness, selfishness, malice or plain stu
pidity-who hog party line in the face of
an emergency plea. Sometimes, granted ir-
responsible persons claim an emergency
merely to get the line for ordinary purposes.
But isn't it better to give up the line for
awhile rather than risk denying it to some
one in desperate need?

Pacific Vegetable Oil Corp. OF
California is planning to move
forward with a larger safflower
program this coming year. Acre
age will be 10000 acres which
is a 30% increase over the 1853
crop. If the farmers are ready
to grow safflower to the extent of
10000 acres, Pacific Vegetable Oil
Corp. will build a processing plant
in 1859 with construction COM
nencing this Srping.
In order to determine the inter-
est and intentions of the farmers,
a series of educational meetings is
scheduled for early December. AT
these meetings farmers will also
have an opportunity to sign con-
tracts. The interest displayed at
these meetings will determine
whether u acreage goal can be
attained and. consequently, whe-
Their production will justify plant
erection this Spring.
A schedule of the meetings for
this area will be announced in
this paper next week.
The safflower harvest has been
completed for some time with a
majority of the growers satisfied
