HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF
My reason for giving the above
illustrations is to war ninvestors
that the market for electronics
stocks will probably go through
the same history. In other words.
of the forty popular electronics
stocks in which people are now
specializing, probably over thirty
will go through a severe reorgan-
ization and most of them will go
out of business. Yet the industry
as a whole will be a great and
permanent one. Let me explain
one reason for this last statement.
Thus far, the electronics indus
try has depended very largely on
defense spending. Present talk
about a reduction of armaments
gives the electronics people the
jitters; they wonder what they
will do when, as, or If there comes
a reasonable peace. This must
come about some day, or else we
will all go broke from armament
expenditures or World War III.

ufacturers to change their plants
over to electronics automation.
The electronic experiments at
the Providence, Rhode Island Post
Office may hold the answer. The
government, to prevent unemploy-
ment, could greatly help the in
dustry by operating all their inn
portant post Offices electronical-
ly. This would take some time
and, in the meantime, prevent any

OUR FINAL WORD

The politicking and campaigning are a.
bout over. Now approaches the day on which
our whole political system is based, the day
when the free choice of the people will de-
eide the course of government.
If you haven't registered, it is too late !;
hang your head in shame. If you haven't de-
cided between candidates, do it now. If you
have made your choices, review them to be
sure they are the best that can be made
Ask if knew that the entire elections hin
ged on my single ballot, how would / vote?
We hope you will vote for candidates who
combine strong purpose with careful judg-
n,ent. It is essential to keep high level of
national defense and of state and local pub
lie services. 1t is equally essential to avoid
excessive government spending which would
lead to economic weakness through higher
debt, heavier taxes and more initiation.
On Election Day let no petty dissatis-
faction with candidates or parties, no minor
inconvenience of weather, or health, or dis
tance, or other business, keep you from the
polls. Our ballot was bought with blood and
sacrifice by past Americans. Using it - and
using it wisely - is debt we owe our nat
ion and the future Americans who will inher-
1t it.

Sen Frear Announces
His Political Stand

4 United States Senator ]. Allen
Frear said today that he will stand
on his legislative and personal rec
ord of services to the people of
election campaign. Mr.. Frear de-
clared that his seniority as second
ranking member after the Chair
man on the Senate Finance Com
mittee and the third-ranking men,
ber after the Chairman on the
Banking and Currency Committee,
has rarely, If ever, been equaled by
Democratic member of the SEN
ate from Delaware, He further
stated that by virtue of the fact
that both Delaware Senators serve
on the Finance Committee, the
First State has forty per cent of
ly important Senate-House Con-
ference Committee, which passes
final Judgment on all tax legisla-
ton.
Senator Frear also stressed his
record of accomplishment in
bringing about the reactivation of
the Dover Air Force Base, in en-
couraging continued production at
the Chrysler Tank Plant in New
ark, and in gaining approval of
waterway projects for navigation
and watershed programs for flood
control and soil conservation.
Mr.. Frear also stated that his
membership on the Banking and
Currency Committee: had enabled
him to further the enactment of
beneficial housing programs under
FILA and VA.
Mr. Frear added that he was
proud of the fact that nearly a
third of his colleagues in the Sen
ate from every part of the nation
had sent his written statements of
endorsement for his reelection.
Nothing is more gratifying"
said the Delaware Senator. than
to have such warm expressions of
confidence as l. have received from

Milford BUGS Have
Notched Fourth Win

The Milford High Buccaneers,
steadily improving with each ball
game, nailed down their fourth
victory BY defeating Smyrna High
by an 1876 score on Saturday
night. The contest had been orig
inally scheduled for Friday, but
heavy rains forced postponement
to Saturday. While the game was
played under ideal conditions, the
size of the crowd was quite small
due to the threatening weather.
The Bucs derense was able to
contain the Silver Eagles chief
ground gamer, Bobby Boyer, and
Smyrna only seriously threatened
the Buc goal line once. The charg-
es of Larry Gocella scored in the
second period after march of fif-
ty yards. Larry Sharp, one of the
leading scorers in the State easily
scored on an end around play from
two yards out. The try for the ex-
ira point was unsuccessful.
Later in the second period, an
other fifty yard march was eli
NAKED by ten yard sprint by
Steve Cunning. Again, the extra
point try was wide of the uprights.
Following the Milford score,
Smyrna was given an opportunity
to score when the ensuing kickoff
travelled only five yards giving
Smyrna the ball on the Milford As
yard line. The Silver Eagles drove
to the 25 yard line and on a third
down pass play, Burrell Mccoy hit
Bob Boyer with a pass good for 25
yards and touchdown. With less
than two minutes left to play. the
Bucs drove to the Smyrna 25 yard
line where time ran out with Mil
ford leading by slim 1876 mar
gin.
The third period was scoreless
and halfway through the final can
to Smyrna drove to the Milford 25
yard line where on key play the
Buc line stopped hard hitting Bob
Boyer short of a first down. Mil
ford drove to mid-field and punted
to the Smyrna ten yard line. Smyr-
ma drove to their 40 yard line when
Bill Stayton came up with the
first of his two fine interruptions
to set the stage for the final tally
of the game. Larry Sharp, on a
fine run around the Milford right

ored to faithfully represent the
best interests of Delaware during
his years of service.
The Senator stated: Il don't be-
lieve a Senator should be unduly
influenced by any one group of
citizens, whether they are labor
organization or any other. My de-
cisions are made in the conviction
that they best serve the require
ments of every segment OF our
population"
Senator Frear had this addition
al comment with regard TO his
overall Senate representation:
Senate seniority is the most
coveted attainment of any men,
ber. Many of my colleagues from
Southern states, by virtue of their
great seniority, now serve as
Chairmen of the most important
House. Their constituents make
certain that these members stay
in Washington. Delaware has an
opportunity for similar recogni-
ton in the years ahead. The Sen
ate will be Democratic next year
This is mathematical certainty
because of the number of hold
over Senators, plus the Democratic
Senators who are running in un-
opposed races. 1t will thus be faI
more important and desirable fol-
our State to have seniority on the
Majority side at almost the top
level on two important commit
tees than to- bring in new men,
Der on the Minority side who will
have to start at the bottom"

SMALL BUT MIGHTY

Two new u. S. postage stamps have been
issued in honor of Baron Karl Gustaf Emil
Mannerheim, the great Finnish hero He
served Finland, during many years of crisis,
as soldier and statesman. He deserves to be
honored by the United States not only be-
cause of his distinguished service to the
cause of human rights and freedom, but in
recognition that his country was the only
one among the nations owing us for World
War loans to pay up in full
= Americans have always had a warm spot
in their hearts for Finland. 1t was because
of this small but nightly courageous nation
that we first formed resentful feeling to-
ward Soviet Russia. When Finland was at
tackled bv that powerful neighbor and won
the worlds admiration by its dauntless re-
sistance, none rallied to its support with
more enthusiasm than people of the United
States Thousands of Americans voluntar-
lily contributed funds to help finance Finnish
resistance and give support to Marshal Man
nerheim's leadership.
The Soviet bobs annoyingly in and out
of our relationship with this most admirable
little friend of ours. Later our feeling of re-
pugnance against the Kremlin Reds was
changed to seemingly necessary friendship
when they became our ally in World War ii.
Now friendship with Russia has taken wing
and American feelings are just about the
same as before the war, only moSe so: we
are still heartily warm toward Finland but
are in a bitterly cold war with Russia.

Weekly Tree Talk
Tops OF D0gwOOds Dying Back:
Prune And Feed Them This Fall

Tops OF DOgwOOds Dying Back:
Prune And Feed Them This Fall
Dogwoods are dying back. Top
branches appear as stagheads IN
some trees. In others only twigs
and few small branches are dead
This condition is noted with tree
owner alarm from New England to
Georgia. According TO Don Can't
we'll, District Manager of the Bart
lett Tree Expert Co., 1t is due TO
one of, or a combination of these
causes: Malnutrition, winter in
jury, drought, borers, twig blight
or an invading fungus called
Sphaeropsis. Additionally, law
mower bumps, especially on pink
dogwood, result in cankered areas
at the base of the trees.
Pruning and feeding are the most
timely autumn and winter treat
ments. Prune out all deadwOOd.
Feed the trees amply TO promote
vigor. This is essential to offset
drought and winter damage and
borer injury.
BOrers may be dug out if their
channels in trunk or larger BRAN
ches are detected. Painting the
lower trunk and branches with a
slurry of DDT after bloom in the
spring will deter borer attack.
To check twig blight, prune and
burn infected twigs, and map a
spray program, using fungicide,
next spring. Pruning is essential
to eliminate these branches with
brown and black cankered areas
caused by the fungus Sphaeropsis
which invades the sapwood. This
fungus often causes general dying
in the top of the tree.
Pink dogwoods are inherently
weaker than native white flower
ing dogwoods. For this reason they
need a little extra care.
Remove Dead Elms Quickly
Don't leave dead elms standing.
Remove and burn them at once.
This is the advice of the Bart
lett Tree Experts.
Elms that are dying or have
died this summer become breeding
places for elm bark beetles. These
beetles carry the Dutch elm di-
sease infection to healthy trees.
If dead elm remains millions of
beetles may wing out of it next
spring to threaten neighbOring
elrns for miles around.

AUTOMOBILE INVESTMENTS
Forty-five years ago, nearly for
ty different types of automobiles
were being advertised and sold.
In the stocks of the companies
making these forty automobiles,
there was much speculation. Mr..
Ford's Tin Lizzie" was the most
popular, selling around $500, while
the most expensive car was the
Packard Another popular car
was the Studebaker, whose man
ufacturer was once the largest
maker of wagons and carriages.
Both the Packard and the Stude-
baker since declined in produc-
tion, resulting in severe reorgan-
ization which effected combina-
ton of the two companies.
Another very popular car of
those early days was the Hudson,
while the Nash also forged ahead.
Notwithstanding intensive adver-
tising and sales efforts, the pro-
duction of these two companies
also declined. Finally, after a re-
organization these two companies
were united into the present Am
erican Motors Corporation. Thou
sands of investors lost money buy
ing the stock of these once popu-
lar auto manufacturers. American
Motors, however, has since put out

able leader, Mr. Romney, has been
rapidly coming to the fore. While

KNOWING THE ANSWERS

One of the fascinating things about life
is the constant realization, among intelligent
people, that few arguments and issues are
ever black and white, and that few final con-
clusions or rules can be laid down in blanket
fashion to cover a mass portion of the popu-
lation on any major question.
What we are getting at is the fact that
the older and wiser one gets, the more he
realizes his limitations. The wiser the man,
the more readily he realizes the comparative
ly small quantity of knowledge at his COM
mand.
In talking with others, if you will note
their readiness to be positive about their
statements, or their conclusions, you can usu-
ally determine the depth of their philosophy
and the amount of wisdom they have acquir-
ed over the years. Those who always feel
sure they have the answers are most often
the ones who are actually bewildered and in
need of further enlightenment
Likewise, those who should make an eff
fort to improve their minds, and add to their
knowledge and education, are the ones who
are completely content never to read worth
while books, look over the news intelligently.
or try to draw conclusions of their own
Admittedly, we live in complex world,
and it is hard to know who is telling the
truth, who really knows the score, what to
read and where to find it. A general appro-
ach which might be of value to readers is
that which includes keeping up with the
'neWs by devoting few minutes each day to
newspaper, listening to several news COM
nnentators, with different political philoso-
phies, and reading stimulating book every
month or two. Then, weigh all the opinions
and arguments, think for yourself, and make
your own decisions.
