State Commander Edward w
Clarke of the Veterans of For
eign Wars believes that Thanks
giving is not only an appro
pirate time for everyone to give
thanks for the many blessing:
enjoyed by all Americans, but
that is time when specia
thanks should be also given fol
the many special benefits en-
joyed by Americas veterans
their widows and orphans.
In a Thanksgiving message
to the more than 1000 Della
ware members of the Veterans
of Foreign Wars, Commander
Clarke has pointed out that the
United States provides more
benefits for its veterans and the
survivors of veterans than any
other Nation. While this bene-
fit program, as a whole, may
be viewed as representing the
appreciation of a grateful Ma
ton and its citizenry for the
sacrifices made by the Nations
fighting men, it also represents,
according to Commander Clarke,
the results of the efforts of or
ganizezd veterans to bring about
legislation that made possible
these benefits and their continu-
ance.
Commander Clarke feels that
every veteran, who has ever re-
ceived any veteran benefit, is
indebted to the Nations veter-
ans organizations for helping
make such benefits possible.
This obligation, in the opinion
of the veterans leader, can best
be discharged by active mem
bership in one or more of the
Nations veterans organizations.

prefer that all eligible Delaware

DIFFERENCE IN POLITICAL NEWS

In the days and weeks between now and the election, the
spectacle of some politicians making personal attacks on
others, or impugning the motive of others, or making senSa-
tional charges which cannot be substantiated, will have to be
endured.
It's difficult for some citizens to separate the truth from
the political hypocrisy in political campaigns. And, in the
effort to separate truth from fiction, there are a few good
fundamentals to keep in mind.
First, office holders and office seekers are going to sing
the song of the party they belong to. Therefore there are
some things to discount.
Secondly, there are professional politicians, professional
party workers, and office holders who can largely be ignored.
The average voter is exposed to hearing a speech, which
has been prepared, not by the politician himself, but rather
to pass on to the public what some other person has prepared
for him to say. And again there are editorials that are written
by someone that has proven himself, to say just what the
readers want to read.
In other words to have the information correct, the best
place is in the newspaper column under the sponsorship of
some individual or club, in print and impossible to pass the
buck for. If you want an intelligent political appraisal and
decision make it yourself by studying honest newspaper pre-
s%entation.

Best Dressed,
Says Blanco

Montg ON cry County
homes are the best dressed
in the United States, in the
opinion of Maurice E. Blan-

manager of Jacmar's in Rock

The noted interior designer
has decorated hundreds of
homes and worked with many
of the areas major home and
apartment builders during the
past several years.
Blanco bases his observation
on the fact that Montgomery
County citizens furnish their
homes with an eye on both
comfort and good taste.
people in this area recognize
the Importance of harmonious
color schemes and furniture
matching their own PERSONAL
ties and living habits" Blanco
said. "They know the interior
design of a home reflects their
way of life, and they strive
for harmony"
Blanco is a member of the
National Society of Interior De-
signers, an honor he received
early this year. For the past
three years he has been select
ed to decorate the Better Homes
and Gardens home and, In do
ing so, has won national recog.

Many major builders have
utilized Blanco's services, in

Traffic was heavy on the

in the '80s. Over 400 canal
boats and five steamships-each
with a capacity of 100 tons

There was only one regular
passenger boat a month. This
was called the pay boat, be-
cause George Nicholson, the

to Cumberland every month to
give the canal workers there
their salary.
