Appraisal of New Frontier
Finds Aims Still UnfuIfiIIed

sition-party President. a log
jam of domestic legislation was
created. Mr.. Kennedy's elec-
ton broke that logjam and
opened the way for passage of
major bills that are part of
the Democratic program even
if they do not bear the special
stamp of the New Frontier.
Plans Opposed
AS against that accomplish
ment, there is the conspicuous
fact that many of the Ken
nedy administrations original
ideas have been roughly han
died even by a Congress of the
same party. The master plan
for agriculture-probably the
most sweeping innovation Mr..
Kennedy proposed in any do
mestic field-was turned down
cold. So were his reorganlza-
ton plans for some of the regu-
latory agencies and his revised
formula for distributing Fed
eral school aid funds among
the States.
The tax changes the Presi-
dent has so far suggested
though controversial - have
only nibbled at the edges of
the problems in that field. A
variety of minor welfare
changes have been voted, but
the key proposal-to finance
medical care for the aged
through social security-haS
not been pressed.
The same thing cannot be
said of foreign policy, however.
The Kennedy administration,
although preoccupied with
holding together a military alli-
ance in Europe and Asia,
has given through the Alliance

sure the Communists have put
on this country since he took
office that they do not intend
to give him that time.
The vital question-in Ber-
lin, in Southeast Asia and at
home-is the one Mr.. Kennedy
stated a year ago-"whether
our society with its freedom
of choice, its breadth Of op-
portunity, its range of alterna-
tives, can compete with the
single-minded advance of the
Communist system"
Have we the nerve and the
fwill?" he asked. Are we will
ing to match the Russian Sac
rifice Of the present for the
future-or must we sacrifice
our future in order to enjoy
the present?"

even truer now, sis the ques-
ton Of the New Frontier"

nists-in Laos and in Cuba
and then backing down.
Mr.. Kennedy has also been
charged with hypocrisy for
calling for sacrifice while rails
ing farm subsidies. improving
welfare benefits and indulging
in the easy device Of deficit
spending.
Frequently he has been
asked to spell out what "sacri-
fices" he was asking. He re-
piled in q May speech with a
long list Of requests:
To meet tax levels and close
tax loopholeS to exercise
self-restraint on wages and
prices and crop production and
work stoppages :. to serve in
the Peace Corps, or the armed
services or the civil service OF
civil defense -. to pay higher
payroll taxes, postal rates and
teachers salaries and to
respect constitutional rights"
Parties Noted
The critics replied that these
requests were far from Spar
tan and noted with some. Bit
terness the example the Ken
nedys were setting with their
lavish , entertainment of for
eign visitors and their frequent
weekend family parties in
HyanniS Port.
It may be that, given time,
President Kennedy can create
the tone and achieve the pro-
grams he projected in his Los
Angeles speech.
But it is clear from the un-

A year older. a few pounds

old and persistent problem of
Berlin.
In the weekend lull in WASH

ask the question, how goes the

Promised Break

Mr.. Kennedy had pledged a
year ago that his election would
bring a sharp break with the
policies of the past. THE
world is changing" he said.
1.-THE old era is ending. The old
ways will not do.S
But how new. really, are his
programs?
He had insisted, a year ago,
that his New Frontier would
ask the American people to
emulate the pioneers and give
up some of their personal COM
fort for the common cause. He
had said his administration
would hold out the promise of
more sacrifice, instead Of more
security"
But where, really, has the
frontier spirit entered the pro-
gram of the New Frontier?
These questions were put
yesterday to two men, both
associates of Mr.. Kennedy for
many years, one a devoted
follower and the other a fire.
quent critic.
The critic replied, There
haven't been any new solutions
to new problems from this ad-
ministration. For the most
part, they have been preoccu-
pied with old problems and
have been using the ideas that
have been kicking around in
Congress for the last six years.
"As for sacrifice" he added,
I'm afraid that has been
tagged as just political talk.
I don't get the impression from
my mail that the spirit of tear-,
ing sacrifice willingly par
ticularly financial sacrifice
through taXes-is any more
widespread than before"

As Million Trees
Ready for Suntu
BY the Associated Press

1t is estimated that As million
Christmas trees will brighten
the holiday season, an increase
of about 3 million from last
year.
That figures out to trees in
four out of five households in
the Nation, according to the
American Forest Products In
dustrieS, Inc. -
Retail prices are expected to
be about the same as last year.
The value of trees harvested
last year was estimated at $40
million on the stump. Whole
sale value was figured at $50
million and the retail values
at S85 million.
The industry expects about
"a million trees to be supplied
by domestic forests and planta-
tions and II million to be i'm
ported from Canada.
About SO per cent of the
trees will come from privately
owned land and the remainder
from public lands.

Glenn, SIoyton to Count
On Flying Experience

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla,
Nov. 80 (AP).-Astronauts John
H. Glenn, jr., and Donald K.
Slayton, selected to make the
first two United States round
the-world flights, believe their
experience as combat and test
pilots will be invaluable in
space.
Experience in dangerous and
unexpected situations is even
more valuable than good con-
ditioning," Col. Glenn says. IF
you have successfully con-
trolled your airplane in an
emergency, or dealt with an
enemy pilot whose prime object
is to destroy you, your chances
of making the proper decision
next time are increased.
1.-The space traveller, alone
where no one has been before,
will need a confidence only ex-
perience can give him"
Any Machine Can Balk
Man hasn't built a machine
yet that didn't turn balky ano
troublesome at some point,
Mai. Slayton remarks. "In test
flying, these troubles can arise
on an instant's notice. One
moment you're putting the ship
through a routine maneuver
the next thing you know you
have snapped into a dangerous
spin. You must be prepared for
any emergency.
This ability to react quickly
in unexpected crises certainly
played an important part in our

Why the Utility Tax, of course!

Why do you pay tax? You have

Distributive Education
Starts In Sussex County
On Monday, Sept. 18th

On September IL Distributive Ed
ucation will be formally introduced
to students in Sussex County at
the new Sussex County Vocation
al-Technical Center at Georgetown.
Distributive Education is the
study of distribution, whether it
be on the wholesale, retail or SER
vice level. Distribution is the con-
Meeting link between the produc-
err and the consumer. Since SO per
cent of all high school graduates
that do not attend college are en-
ployed in a distributive job. it is
felt that some preparation should
be given O these students.
The students are taught the fun
damentals of selling the merchan-
dising. In learning craftsmanship.
students are taught the basic
knowledge needed in selling. the
sellers personality, both mental
and physical. sales transaction,
special media for selling. sales pol
icies, and selling oneself. In mer-
chandising, some Of the areas COW
cred are: setting up store. buy
ing for resale. selling. and, finally,
control. In each Of the areas Of
study cover there are many speci-
Milford chronicle., 1961-09-01

fic fields that when tied together
will give the student a clear pic
ture of craftsmanship and an idea
of the many problems that must
be faced in operating a successful
store.
How do the students from our
high schools get this training?
to take ID. +. at the end of his
Ind or 3rd year since this course
in basically a two-year course.
However, some seniors are accept
ed on a one-year basis. Each stu
dent receives two credits per year
towards graduation-one for his
class work and one for his on
the-job training. The student must
do satisfactory work in both places
to get credit. No single credit may
be given.
Each student will attend his
own high school at designated
times to receive his basic course
of study. This way he attends
either during the morning or the
afternoon according to his school
schedule. Should a student receive
his basic courses in the morning,
then he would attend the Sussex
County Vocational-Techn Cen
ter in the afternoon. attending two
classes per week-each class hree
hours. This would be the same
class time devoted to one subject
five dayS week in his own high
school. At this same time on the
Milford chronicle., 1961-09-01

other three days and Saturday,
the student would receive his on
the-job training; it is required that
the student be employed a mini
mum Of fifteen hours per week
with maximum of thirty hours.
On his job the student should, I'M
der the supervision of his employ
er, put into practice what he has
learned in the classroom.
How does the student get to
his classes in Georgetown and to
work?
Transportation will be furnished
to and from Georgetown but the
transportation to and from work.
Since it is necessary that stu
dents in Disributive Education be
employed during the school year,
the cooperation of retailers is so
dictated. Mr.. C.. b. Marvil. the Dis
tributive Education coordinator for
the Center, is presently making a
survey of the county for student
job placements. In providing jobs
for these students, you, the en-
ployer, the student, the school
