wonders of the world. 1t is also
one of the most futile. Stretching
for a distance of 1900 miles and rs
feet in thickness at its base, it was
built to keep all enemies out of the
country. If walls could protect
high explosives had not been in
vented at that time-the Chinese
had a right to believe themselves
secure from invasion. But the wall
proved to be futile investment OF
time and money. Before it had been
finished more than a few years 1t
was preached three times, not be-
cause the wall gave way or crumb-
led, but because the gatekeepers
were dishonest. For a price they
opened the gates to the enemy
proving again that stone and steel
are equally futile if the human ele-
ment breaks down. Security of any
kind is always and inseparably tied
up with character. with the in
tegrity and the honesty of man.
Going wider afiield ii is well for
us to remember that history dis
closes that the great nations of the
past were conquered from without
only when they had first become in
warly corrupt. When we read of
the corruption and the political
chicanery that have become in
creasingly common in many circles
of our government we cannot but
be filled with misgivings. We may
be strong in military potentials,
we may be richer than other ma
tions in material resources, but we
are really strong only in the mea-
sure that we are decent and good.
As Of old the poets words ring
true:
IN fares the land, to Fastening ills
prey,
Where wealth accumuIates. and men
decay"
Such decay is evident-but what
can be done about it? What can
bring character and integrity back
to our people and to our govern
ment? There is just one answer.
Senator Charles Tobey gave it be-
fore the Senate Crime Investigating
Committee in these words: John
Greenleaf Whittier was a great
man and Quaker. Inc one of his
poems titled Problems he COM
mented on the ills of the nation and
closed it with these words:
But of solution there is none
Save in the rule of Christ alone"
This must be our answer. too.
When our people, men and women
alike, take their guidance from
Him, then and then only will we
have a new America, a nation
where righteousness dwelleth -
and, before God, it is high time.

New Speed Limit
Signs Are Now
Being Erected

New speed limit signs are now
being erected along the dual, or
divided highways in this state. The
work was started along Us Route
13, at Dover and is proceeding
south to the Maryland line.
The new signs are the first of
their kind to be placed in use in
this state since two sets of nu-
merals are contained in one place
on the signs, providing for a speed
limit of so miles per hour in day
light and 55 miles per hour at
night. The As mile per hour limit
for trucks applies at all times.
Through the use of reflectorized
numerals the figure SIS is superim-
posed under the figure so and when
the headlights shine on the sign at
night, it shows 55 where the go is
located in the daytime.
The adaptability of this process
was prepared in the State Highway
Departments sign shop and nu-
merous tests were made of the
double use sign before it was
adopted and placed in service.
Acting under the terms of an
amendment to the exceeding law
concerning speed limit, the Com
missioners of the State Highway
Department at a recent meeting,
fixed the speed limit for dual high
ways, except in congested areas,
at so miles per hour in daylight
and 55 miles per hour at night.
The new signs are being erected
in accordance with that order.
More than 500 of the new signs
will be required for use on all of
the dual highways in this state.

when one goes on a vacation,

Milford chronicle., 1960-08-05

The national conventions of our
two major political parties have
now adjourned. If you listened to
the many speeches that were de-
livered, resounding with bombas-
tic TRADES against the opposing po-
litical party and replete with in
volved sentences and inane plati-
tudes, you may have been reminded
of Uncle Eben's words, Some peo-
pie use big words the same as a
turkey gobbler spreads his tail
feathers. They make quite a show
ing but they don't represent much
real meat"
AS memory tries to evaluate the
content of much of this political
jargon, it seems that the issue ac-
cented the most by the speakers of
both parties was the question Of
national security. As / listened to
the panaceas prescribed for the at
tainment of such security, l thought
of the time the president of a
newly erected bank invited me to
share a tour of inspection. There
was evidence on every side that
nothing had been overlooked to
provide efficient service for the
banks patrons. As a fitting climax
to our visit of inspection we were
ushered to the money vault built of
masonry and steel AT touch of
the presidents finger heavy doors
swung open. AS he pointed to their
cleaning thickness he turned to
me and said, Don't you think our
depositors' money will be safe
here?"
Without giving the question much
thought / gave quick, affirmative
answer. AS l think about it now I
feel that | may have answered in
correctly, for true security is de-
pendent on factors more important
than stone or steel These are hui
man factors and no physical equip
ment, no matter how strong, can
insure the safety of any banks
funds if its employees are dishon-
est The integrity of those who
handle the banks money assures
greater security for the deposit
tors than the thickest doors and
walls of steel. When the human
elements fail, nothing is safe.
In further illustration of this
truth / would recall for you bit
of information that came to me re-
Gently about the famous Chinese
Wall. This wall is one of the great
