Dear Friends:
December the 30th Hayes arrived
home in Milford. He enjoyed being
home with his parents at the be-
ginning of the new year, was glad
to be with Dad Dickerson, who is
ill, and was especially GLAD to eat
Mom's cookin'!!i
New Years Eve Hayes spent in
Milford with my brother and sister,
in-law, Ted and Kinney Townsend,
and with several of our friends that
we only see about twice a year. He
called me at the stroke of the new
year, eastern time, which / appreci-
ated even though l had been asleep
for several hours.
New Years Day, Hayes began
seeing about getting a ride out of
Dover Air Base and heading mid
west again. No transportation was
apparently available. So then he
planned to go to Washington, ID. c.,
and get some flight out from there
commercial or military. Colonel
Rex Hunter, a neighbor of my par
ents, knew of a flight leaving Dover
the following morning for ST. Louis
and relayed the good word to him.
Hayes called Dover and talked to
the pilot, colonel, and he was told
to be there the following morning
at 7:30, take off time, and the ride
was his.
at st. Louis, Hayes hunted for
another ride on into Forbes. Moth
ing was available Immediately, so
he put his name on the board in
base operations. Crews consult the
board and if they are going in the
direction of the transient passei-
gers they take them along if there's
space available. Hayes was lucky
again and got a flight right into
Topeka with comparatively little
waiting.
Major Tom Bennett formerly of
Milford-now stationed outside of
Kansas City flew mission Thurs
day, the day Hayes was travelling
home. Toms flight took him into
st. Louis and while he was in base
operations the sergeant at the desk
asked him if he had room for a
passenger going to Kansas City.

portant than stocks, bonds, real

Eisenhower brought back from
Paris, namely.
Strength With Peace
What is strength We all know
that it consists Of something far
more than and very different from
guns, navies, airplanes, or mis-
siles. Yet, these are the things that
we read about chiefly in the news
papers and magazines. This is the
strength which physicists, engi-
neers, and metallurgists are called
to Washington to discuss.
This situation must be changed
Yet, my able friend President Kill
lian of my Alma Mater-the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology
has been brought to Washington
amid much applause to aid in
producing such material strength,
not the real strength. This whole
trend seems cockeyed to me. Nei-
ther America nor Russia will win
with this kind of strength. | am
very serious about this.
Real Strength Comes From What!
Real strength comes from Cour-
age, Faith, Hardness and Rejoic-
ing in Sacrifice. Have we got this
strength? Are any civil men being
called to Washington to instill this
strength in our people? Our un-
balanced setup is foolish and dan
gerous. More scientists will not
save US. Our missiles, costing mil
lions of dollars each, may be no
more effective than the Great Wall
of China or the Maginot Line of

THE JANUARY SKY

The winter skies in January, often clear
and cold, offer star gazers beautiful nights
for the study of the stars and planets.
The Big Dipper is still far down on the
horizon, but it is beginning to move back up
into the sky. Morning stars (actually plan
cts of the solar system visible to naked eye)
will be Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
That bright evening star (planet) will
be Venus.
Why not make it one of your 1858 reso-
lutions to buy guide on the stars and study
them once in a while during the coming
year? We are fast approaching the space
age and, even more important, you will find
the study immensely rewarding and stimu-
lating.
1t may not be too many years before
people will be visiting the planets you study
today, thinking they are so remote and un-
reachablel

PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS

In popular language, a professional politician is the
person who dedicateS his life or great part of it to poll
teal activities with the aim of personal gain or the salts
faction of temperamental whimS. In reality, the term
professional politician has a marked meaning of con-
tempt, and it is generally used when referring to indivi-
dualS whose participation in the political life of their
countries has been dOleful or harmful for the Republic.
Some times there is a regrettable confusion with
regards to the belief that the diScredit of the SOcaHed
tically, all politicians of experience, because of their age
or because of their long participation in national political
activities.
The citizen who acts in a decOrOuS manner in the
politics of a country, acquiring in this manner adequate
experience, without this meaning, of course, that he has
committed no errors or that he will never commit them
again, usually is a person useful to the political causes
and he can lend important services to the Nation.
The experienced politician may be criticised both by
members of his party or his adverSarieS, but should not
be systematically disqualified as If he had entered the p0-
litical arena with the exclusive purpose of obtaining per-
sOnal gain, as the people do with those identified as pro
fessiOnal politicians.
1t is necessary to be able to distinguished between
one and the other, so no injustice of appreciation is
committed, and also in order not to waste the knowledge
of those who have acquired 1t because of their age or
through their intelligence.
The reasonable Importance which should be given,
without exaggeratiOn, to politicians of experience, does
not, in any way, close the doors to youth, because, 1nclu-
sively, experience in these politicians teaches them the
great significance which, in all collective movements,
has the support Of the youth of today, with their enthu'
siaSm, their energy, their talent and sincerity:
To Systematically refuse the citizens who, without
being out of action due to an advanced age, have gained
experience on a basis of many years of political activity
and intelligent dedication to these aims, is, at least
speaking in general terms, an error.
