Dear Friends:
We have really been travellers
lately and it has been fun to be ION
the road" again. St Patrick's Day
we drove to Chicago for some '.ex-
pensive fun" and l have told you
most of our activities there.
Oh! One thing / did intend to
tell you in connection with the ex-
orbitant prices-Hayes thought he
had an ample supply of dress
shirts with him, but when he tore
into one freshly laundered. to his
dismay, it was a summer one. So
we decided rather than buy one we
would have a sOiled one laundered
by the hotel room service. The
price in the room stated fat fee
of f0rty-f1ve cents. This shocked us
not at all, after being in this big
City, for several days. When the
shirt was returned to our floor the
tag was marked rs cents. Editors
Note: Innocents abrOad.) If ever
you get low on sheckles write me.
I've got a few tips on how to get
rich fast in Chicago. You will still
by gypping the public, but only half
gypping them. They will be glad to
see some one in business who only
wants to get rich in five years in
stead of just One!!!
Sunday. March 20. we headed
north once more and drove to st.
Joseph, Michigan. We were quite
impressed with the beauty of Mich
igan even though we were seeing
it so late in winter. We passed HOl-
land, Michigan, and wished We
could have been there for the Fes-
tival in Tulip Time. We miss beau
tiful trees in Kansas and enjoyed
the many white birch we saw in the
woods and on private lawns.
We planned to spend Sunday eve-
ming in st. Joe and here in the NOR
ming, Hayes wanted to tour the
Heath Plant. Those of you who are
not closely related to electronics
and amateur radio work like / am
might not be familiar with this
name. All of Hayes equipment in
his receivers and transmitters and
other radio gear have all been kits
from this company. He has been
impressed by their work and has
always wanted to see the plant and
talk to their engineers.
We arrived in St. Joe early Sun
day and in time for church even,
and then after looking the town
over we drove on north to Grand
Rapids. l have addressed letters to
that lovely city for as many years
as l can remember and it was nice
to drive into that city and see the
home for many years of my cousin.
One of my idiosyncracies is call
ing older-than-myself cousins
Aunt" AS a child I felt If they
were cousins / should be permitted
to call them by their Christian
name and if this was not sanctioned
by my parents they were forever

more "aunts and uncles" to me. So
We visited dads first cousin Aunt
Elizabeth Watson She Is an excep-
tional lady of eighty-three years.
She lives all alone in an attractive
home nestled between two good
neighbors and behind two tall pine
trees which reminded me Of the
Eastern Shore. She had been 10
church that day. She does her own
marketing, visits her friends,
watches TV. listens 10 the opera on
her radio and seems more up TO
date on current events than many
people dozens of years her Junior.
It's wonderful to be four score
and two and still keen as she Is.
It showed during our afternoon
with my aunt and / felt all the time
we were there our visit would have
TO be all too short We had dinner
together at the Holly House. an
attractive restaurant and then had
to say good-by TO her all too soon
really. She expects to visit Milford
this summer and perhaps we can
see her again.
In st. Joe we stayed in the love-
liest hotel that overlooked an inset
of Lake Michigan. II was a cold
evening when we were there and
the lake was angry looking but
lovely with white caps. Our room
was on the seventh floor and seem
ed warm and cozy as we looked out
across the cold harbor scene. The
next day while Hayes enjoyed his
royal tour at Heath / shopped down
town and wrote TO you, il you viii
recall.
In the basement of this resort ho-
tel / could have taken a mineral
bath and had masseuse tone up
my ION vacation" muscles or on
another floor there was a s0larium
could have enjoyed but our time
was precious and | did not indulge
in either Monday evening we we're
in Springfield, Illinois. We had
phoned ahead and reserved q room,
but through some lovely mixup
there wasn't a room for us avail
able. For the same price we were
given a suite of rooms and how
pleased we were! That evening of.
the lobby OF the Leland Hotel we
ate at the Red Lion Inn. The at
mosphere was English. The wait
resses were in attractive white uni
forms with red velvet laced front
jumpers over their dresses. The
colored stewards wore full pulled
sleeved shirts and black knickers
and black shoes with cleaning gold
buckles. Wine bottles lined some OF
/ the walls and were functional as
we'll as decorative. Other walls
were covered with lovely mahogany
paneling and were background for
a full suit of armor. six feet long
trumpets (hunt bugles) or for
swords. 1t was an interesting room
and here they served food good
enough to eat. too. Next week ! will
tell you about our trip to this capi-
tol city.
Always,

ANOTHER AIR DISASTER

The crash of Northwest Airlines pass
enger plane recently, killing sixty-three per-
sons, is the latest in a series of terrible air
disasters which have periodically been car
ried in the headlines of the country's news
papers.
Although there was one report connected
with the possibility that a bomb may have
caused the latest air tragedy, it is too early
to take this report seriously. All that can be
said at this time is that sixty-three persons
plunged eighteen thousand feet to a fiery
death after an explosion of S2,400,OOO tur-
bo-jet aircraft.
The number of air crashes in the United
States in recent months has reached serious
proportions. While it may be true that air
travel, when measured in the number of pass
engers transported and the number of miles
they were carried is still relatively safe
means of transportation, the series of hor-
rible crashes is doing little to instill conf
dence in this means of transportation. More
over, more people are being killed in public
air conveyances, in these fiery crashes, than
on any other public carrier.
Seldom is there a railroad accident of
such fatal proportions, and sea travel-while
not involving as many passenger mileS-prO-
duces far fewer tragedies of this type. The
latest tragedy involved a Chicago-Miam
plane, originating in Minneapolis. 1t made
one stop at Chicago, to pick up passengers,
and took off for Miami-only to crash at
3 :39 p. m. in the afternoon.
Since the weather was good, this is an
other mystery crash. 1t is thought that the
aircraft exploded. The Federal Aviation
Agency cannot escape a responsibility, in
viewing the continuing series of terrible air
tragedies in this nation, although it is diff
cult to see what can be done to correct the
ominous trend
Perhaps extreme measures may not be
agreed upon as yet, buff necessary-new
and special investigating procedures will be
required and additional preventative safe
guards could be inaugurated. Closer con-
tact, and continuing contact with the pilot,
might also be justified.

TORNADO SEASON ARRIVES

Every year, about this time, sporadic tor
nadoes sweep through various sections of the
United States, killing hundreds of people and
devastating property.
The bouncing tornado, with its rotary
motion, is the most destructive force known
to mankind. Fortunately, in many instances,
its approach is announced by the peculiar
funnel-shaped cloud, which, when detected,
gives those in its path an opportunity to es-
cape.
Apparently, tornadoes develop their pow
er in somewhat open country, but they often
develop terrific force and wreak their havoc
in comparatively thickly-settled areas.
In time, perhaps, men will become smart
enough to understand and predict the appear
ance and course of tornado, but, unfortu-
Rately, that time is not yet

A TURNING POINT

The Geneva talks on possible u. S.
BritiSh-SOviet nuclear weapons test ban have
been in progress for Is frustrating months.
At times the Russian fog of "nyets" and un-
workable proposals has obscured all hope
that treaty might eventually be signed. Be-
hind the fog, nevertheless, advances have
been, made. There is a rising body of evil
dence which suggests that the Soviet Union
really does want test ban and is willing to
make concessions to get it.
Certain notable concessions already have
been made by Soviet negotiators. They have
agreed-and considering that secrecy is a
way of life for the Kremlin this is very
great conceSsion-to permit establishment of
detection and control posts across their terri
tory They have backed down on their ear
lier insistence that the experts manning these
posts on their territory must all be Russians.
They have further agreed to an annual quota
(thOugh the number has not yet been decid-
ed) of vetO-free inspections on Soviet terri
tory by international teams. Western views
have prevailed in some other pertinent mat
terS, also.
Tough negotiations lie ahead. The Rus
SLAMS are not going to soften up all at once.
But it appears that the one big roadblock to
a test ban treaty is the u S. position with
regard to small underground tests which pre-
sent monitoring methods cannot surely de-
tect This country fears that, until such de-
lection is possible, the Soviet might go ahead
with underground tests even if it agreed to
a ban.
That is a risk But it is small risk,
ameliorated by Kremlin agreement that sci
entiStS of the three nations would work to-
gether to devise better detection methods. 1t
is a risk the United States ought to take in
hopes of securing ban agreement which
might well be great turning point in the
struggle against war

SUNDAY SCHOOL-A FORCE FOR
FAITH

This year marks the twentieth anniver-
sary of the founding of the Laymen's Ma
tional Committee, Inc, an interfaith organi-
zation dedicated to the proposition that
America was founded on mans conscious
ness of God, mans daily labor and the fruits
therefrom." The Committee sponsors Ma
tional Sunday School Week, April 11-17,
1860. The theme for the Week this year is,
Sunday School-A Force for Faith.
J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, has said, '"The six
teenth annual observance of National Sun
day School Week should serve as a signal
re-emphasizing to all responsible citizens the
need for return to religion in our stand
ards of living.
"The Sunday Schools of our Nation can
make tremendous contribution to the nec-
essary realignment of our guide for daily
activity. The importance of religion as the
major factor in the conduct of our lives
must be instilled in our young men and wo-
men, and from there, it will assume its right
full place in the lives of every citizen, every
community and every nation"
Milford chronicle., 1960-04-08
OUR MORAL CLIMATE

The widespread distribution of television
sets, which enhances the distribution of NOV
les, along with greater use of the automobile,
has produced challenging moral climate in
the United States.
One does not have to be an expert to no
tice the low moral tone of entertainment seen
on television screens, in the newspapers and
on radio and in movie houses Glamorized
are the very forms of conduct which can be
so dangerous to immature minds.
In addition to this, 1859 was terrible
year for those who seek to develop better
moral climate for the young in the United
States. There were the television scandals,
cheating standards among students, payola
scandals-in addition to the chronic dishon-
est advertising, tax evasion ESTIMATED at
over two hundred billion dollars), and sports
fixes.
The seriousness of the situation is en-
phasized by the better normal climate which
prevails in some other countries. In many
countries juvenile delinquency is nothing of
the problem it is in the United States-prob
ably because the young people or not sub
jected to such a wholesale deluge of enter
tainment on such a low moral plane.
There is the inevitable danger that a de-
teriorating moral climate in the United
States, brought about by too much emphasis
on sex and pleasure and money, and not
enough emphasis on old-fashioned moral
values and hard work, will result in the de-
cline of the United States as the leading
world power. The responsibility rests pri-
marily on the shoulders of parents, and then
on the shoulders of the church, the schools
and our society. In all these endeavors, adults
should back up those who seek to bring about
discipline, order and morality in our COM
munity-especially among the young people.

CHANGING MEMORIAL DAY
Memorial Day will be celebrated in New
York State on the last Monday in May in
stead of always on May 80, if the upper house
of the legislature accepts bill passed by the
lower As May 80 this year falls on Monday,
the coincidence will make it easier to get
used to the change.
The purpose is to make real vacation,
with three days off in row. This has been
urged for long time, not merely for Memoir
ial Day but for other holidays. So far the
plan has always been rejected. Yet once the
new date became established, it would be
popular arrangement and the change might
be made for other holidays.
After all, no special reason exists for hav
ing Memorial Day on May 80. The day was
picked, apparently at random, by General
John A. Logan, commander of the Grand
Army of the Republic. He did so in 1868,
asking citizens to make this an occasion for
decorating soldiers graves. Had he given
his idea more thought, he might have adopt
ed the flexible arrangement. s-s
