Dear Friends:
Poor Mother dropped from ex-
haustion last night. Papa did, too.
Did you have a day like that at
your house? 1t truly is nice to get
back to the normal routine of
things this morning; washing,
busting, mopping, etc.

Day morning and found Leslie C.
months) in bed with Hayes and
me. Either Lynne or Dawn had
picked her up from her crib and
deposited her with us. / could
hear busy feet and whispered
voices in the kitchen but didn't
say a word to Hayes about it.
Soon down the hall / could hear
our 9 and II years old singing
Happy Mothers Day." In the
bedroom they came with our break
fast perched on TV trays that jean
nette and Penn Isaacs sent us
when we moved into this house
year and a half ago. Our fare
was buttered burnt toast and
strong instant coffee. 1t tasted
good to me. l could lap up such
service every morning. | prefer
charred toast. but it isn't one of
Hayes "drathers".
The yard had been worrying
Hayes for days and days while he
lay in the house sick and swollen
with mumps. While ] bathed and
dressed little Leslie he attended
to our blue grass.
The church bulletin from First
Methodist here in town suggested
Mothers Day for having your
baby christened. My parents had
sent Leslie. some time ago. darl-
ing all white baby dress and this
l had put aside just for this spe-
cial day. After Leslie is fed she
quite frequently regurgitates just
a tiny bit, but this was enough to
make us very cautious about dress
ing her too soon before the chris
tening ceremony. The co-pilot on
the crew, and his wife, have a
darling little year old daughter
and she, too, was christened yes
terday We were so pleased when
we arrived at the church to find
our friends, Jane and Bill Roy in
the church parlor with their six
weeks old daughter. DR.. Roy was
my obstetrician. So even though
we missed our families at home
we did have good friends with us
during this special event. Leslie
was a doll during the whole SER
vice. When she didn't have her
head all the way back looking at
the church ceiling and lights, she
faced the congregation and gave
them the Bronx cheer.
Wilma Longman sat with our
two elder daughters in church and
then joined us at the club for the
lovely buffet dinner. Her husband
had just left on two months

nursery, 1.-THE Little Hanger, for
the first time and seemed not to
mind.

Sunday School at 10 a. m, with
Robert H. Yerkes, Sr., General
Sup't, Alvin Brown, Junior Sup't.;
Mrs. Charles Pearson, Cradle Roll
Sup't. This is the third Sunday and
Building Fund Sunday. Remember
to bring in your envelope.
Sunday being Conference Sun
day, there will be no regular morn
ing worship service, but services
will be resumed Sunday, May oath
at the usual hour.
The MYF will meet at 6:45 p. m.
The worship service last Sunday
morning was very impressive and
most appropriate for Mothers Day.
The music was fine and the minis
ter delivered the sermon. The in
fant daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
James Whaley was christened at
this service.
Baskets of flowers were placed
in memory of Mrs. Margaret Ar
mour, by Pearl Messick and Arthur
Armour; Mrs. Sallie Armour, by
Mrs. Ruth Buarque and daughters;
Mrs. Ida Williams by her children.
The special Mothers Day SER
vice at 500 p. M, sponsored by the
members of the Senior choir with
Mrs. Alvin Brown, serving as
chairman was the best program
that has been presented in a long
time for this special day. The choir
outdid themselves and the duet by
Mrs. Hazel Lennon and Mrs. Ann
Prentice, formerly known as the
Sapp sisters, was very fine. 1t was
ing together again. The readings
by Mrs. Francis Parvis and Mrs.
Pauline Morgan were interesting
as of course they were about
Mothers, a large subject. Alvin
Brown gave a reading and very
impressive reading by John Clark,
one of our talented young men,
brought the program to an end.
The minister made prayer and a
few remarks. The offering of the
evening will go toward the Meth
odist Country House, which is be-
ing built for the aged people in our
Conference area.
Mr. Robert Yerkes, Sr., was NC
for the evening and presented
flowers to the oldest mother pres
ent who was Mrs Elizabeth Coul-
bourne; the youngest mother, Mrs.
Phyllis Morton, and to the mother
who had the most children present,
Mrs. Anna Mae Marvel. Mrs. Mae
Hayes, daughter Ruth Ann, Mrs.
Dorothy Pearson, daughter June,
Mrs Anna Mae Marvel, daughter
Grechel, and Mrs. Eleanor Yerkes,
daughter Laura Jane received the
offering. 1t was indeed most en-
joyable evening, lots more inter

Senator Hubert Humphrey. Minnesota Democrat
md Presidential asprant is heading east again. 1t
vas revealed recently that he will make another
rip to Moscow.
Ironically, Humphrey will be in Moscow at the
same time that Vice President Richard Nixon will
be opening the U. S. Fair in Moscow This seems a
title odd, and no doubt the Vice Presidents party
will find it slightly vexing to have the Minnesota
Democrat buzzing about Moscow when the Vice
President is there on official business.
Humphrey, it will be remembered, caused some
hing of a mild sensation when he back to
the United States claiming that he had several Sc
crets from dictator Khrushchev, in Moscow for the
Administration. However, Khrushchev denied that
he had given Humphrey any secrets-in the reported
eight-hour interview. Ut has since been reported
that the interview considerably shorter than
eight hours)

THE BUDDY POPPY-A SYMBOLIC
TRIRTITE +

"A symbolic tribute to those who gave so
much that we here today might enjoy the
blessings of freedom and democracy. Such
might best describe the small crimson Buddy
POppies that will will go on sale here in Mil
ford and elsewhere in Delaware May 22-23.'
Each year the Veterans of Foreign Wars
offer Buddy Poppies for sale to the people of
this community. 1t is the only time that they
ask the general public to participate in their
worthy cause in behalf of this nations sick
and disabled war heroes.
There might be those who question the
word hero, but, who can deny that those who
still pay the costly price of armed conflict
are, indeed, heroes. This nation owes them
much. Our government has done an admir-
able job in attempting to give them the best
in medical treatment Nonetheless, there is
still much that needs to be DONE
1t seems appropriate that the Veterans of
Foreign Wars should have taken. this as
signment upon itself, for all of it's members
have learned the true meaning of the word
comradeship under the most hazardous con-
ditions. - -. s.

much cited Blue Hen Post and Ladies Aux
iliary daily render outstanding service to
our community with their charitable works
and their many-faceted youth program.
All of the members of this community
can express their gratitude and apprecia-
tion to the V. F. w. by purchasing Buddy
Poppy. In this manner, we can in our own
small way do our part to help those who pre-
served our way of life.

THE DAYS OF MAY

To Americans the month of May. brings
many historical anniversaries Many of
them deal with early wars or explorations
for April and May were the earliest months
military campaigns could be started, or ex-
plorations begun, because of the weather
Columbus started out on his last voyage
in the month in 1902. He had seen the turn
of the century after discovering. india" in
1892 and new age was being talked in wes-
tern cities.
On May 18th, 178O, the capital of one of
the richest colonies, South Carolina, was
captured by the British, in the Revolution
And back in 1907 on May 18th, Jamestown
Virginia, was settled. The one hundred and
five settlers, who built a small fort and few
huts and were sustained only through the
efforts of Captain John Smith, did not know
they were establishing the first permanent
English settlement in America.
Still another historical anniversary Am
orleans should remember falls on May 18th
On this day in 1887 the first Constitutional
Convention was held. May 18th seems to
have no such history but on May 10Th, 1919
the first successful trans Atlantic flight was
made-eight years before Lindbergh did it,
alone, in 1927. in the same month.
May 18th is notable in this country most
ly by Americans of Norwegian origin. 1t is
the day, back in 1914, when Norway adopted
its Constitution, and the day is still celebrat-
ed by Norwegian-born citizens, and others,
especially in some of the western states of
the country.

THOSE GOOD OLD. DAYS.

Just about all of us periodically yearn
for the alleged good old days" when, for
example, you could buy pound of meat for
a mere 4Oc We look at present prices and
shake our heads somberly.
But the truth is that these good old
days" weren't as rose-colored, financially
speaking, as fallible memory would have it.
It's true that the dollar-and-cents price of
meat is much higher than in past times. But
when you apply the most accurate measuring
stick-the amount of time we have to work
to earn enough money to buy something
it's actually far lower.
Here's the simple statistical story. The
average breadwinner of 40 years ago had
to work more than 81 minutes to make
enough money to buy pound of pork. Now
he has to work only about one-third as.long.
The same things true of the most popu-
lar meat, beef. Back in 1919, the average
worked toied 421s minutes to buy pound
of it. Now he can earn the necessary where
withal in less than % minutes.
What this means is that despite initiation,
the cost of meat has not risen nearly as rap
idly as the average family purchasing power.
That can be chalked up to constantly i'm
proving methods of production, marketing,
and retailing. These keep meat prices, mea-
sured in terms of purchasing power, at

ARMED SERVICES DAY

Armed Services Day falls on the 18th of
May this year, and word about the observ-
ance of this day is in order. Interestingly, it
comes just two weeks before Memorial Day,
when we remember those who gave their
lives in the. armed services in former wars.
The armed services today receive about
one dollar out of every two paid to the feder-
al government by the citizens of the United
States in the form of taxation. The expend-
iture for our armed services totals more than
$4,000, 100000 and this does not include
military aid we furnish some of our allies.
Thus the armed services, how they operate
and what they accomplish in the way of Sc
curity and efficiency, constitutes the business
and concern of every American
Our Armed Services Day has replaced
various days for the separate services, in
sense, and to some degree, and under our
theoretical unifcation, Armed Services
Day is supposed to suffice for Army Day,
Navy Day, etc.-of old.
We should always remember, even though
military spending is tremendous, and the
cost high, that there are many dedicated, pa
triotic and self-sacrificing individuals in the
armed services. While it is a good life for
many, affording security and peace of mind
to considerable degree, one does not get
rich in the armed services, and those who
make it career obviously place several val
ues higher than the value of money.
Moreover, it is important that we have
this type of American in the armed services.
The very survival of our country may de-
pend upon it again, quite soon, and has de-
pended upon it in the past on many occa-
sions. In some circles it is considered so
phisticated, or smart, to depreciate service
in the armed services of the United States.
On the contrary, it is a calling of the
highest form, and those who conScientiOuSly
serve their country in this field, as a matter
of choice and to the best of their ability, de-
serve day of remembrance and the graft
tude of the nation. Too often members of the
armed services are heroes and heroines in
time of war, and scorned in time of peace.

WHERE WILL 1T STOP?

For every gallon of gasoline your car
consumes you now pay state and Federal
taxes that average more than 4096 of the
retail price, less tax. Yet Congress is being
asked to increase the Federal tax on gaso-
line from &c to 412c. In addition to this, var
ious states seek to increase their gas taxes.
Proponents of the increase argue that it
is needed to prevent deficit from develop
ing in the Federal Highway Trust Fund
set up in 1856, to finance the network of in
terstate highways now under construction
The fact is there would be no deficit whatso
ever in the Highway Trust Fund if Federal
automotive taxes already being collected
from vehicle owners were not being used to
subsidize other governmental functions Ir
fiscal 1853, 42c out of every dollar in Federal
automotive taxes went into the general fund
of the Treasury instead of the Highway
Trust Fund. These diverted automotive
taxes would be more than sufficient to make
up any anticipated deficits in the highway
program.
The combined national average of state
and Federal taxes on a gallon of gasoline
now amounts to 800 of the refinery price.
