Great Turning Point

The initiating Of a partial nuclear
test ban by the United States, Britain
and the Soviet Union constitutes great
turning point in the cold war. Though it
does not assure further easing Of East
West tensions, though it does not guar
antee that progress will now be made Oh
substantive arms control, such possibili-
ties have been markedly heightened by
this treaty
1t now behooves the Senate of the
United States to get on quickly with the
business Of ratifying the treaty. This is
not a matter requiring, at this point, any
elaborate and prolonged discussion.
The details of the agreement to pro-
hibit further nuclear test explosions I'M
der water, in the atmosphere or in space
must be considered with care, obviously.
The implications of excluding under
ground tests from the ban must be gone
into. The impact Of this agreement on

A Real Cat Fight

Senator Goldwater, in a TV inter-
view reported that President Kennedy
once said to him that if they were to op-
pose each other for the Presidency it
would -be-a real cat fight. a-
So it would. And it would provide the
nation and the voters with something
that has been lacking in contests at the
peak political level in late years.
There has been failure, on the part
of candidates of both parties to provide
the electorate with clear and unequivo-
cal choice between two platforms, two
PHILOSOPHERS, two diverse attitudes. Is
sues have been blurred. They have been
made wishy-washy and indistinct, as

delay.
A month is not a very long time in
which to deal with this problem. Since
the matter has been thoroughly discuss
ed during several years, however, Con-
gress ought to be able to act promptly.
The chances appear good that it will en-
act some variant Of the administration
plan to permit the Interstate Commerce
Commission to make decisions on work
rules issues that would be binding for
two years or until the unions and man
agement reached agreement.
The union point Of view seems to be
that this is compulsory arbitration and
would interfere with free collective bar
gaining. It is to be hoped that labor will
not stubbornly refuse to modify this at
titude. After four years, the feather
bedding dispute should be settled, and
the ICC plan is rational approach. Bar
gaining is effective only if there is give
and take, and recognition Of technology
cal change.

CONSULT
A GOOD LAWYER

Don't try to make your own
will or codicil yourself to save
a few dollars; but go to a good
lawyer. I re-read my will once
every year usually on my
birthday usually make codicil
as needed.
The lawyer should be a resi-
dent of your state; laws differ In
different states. He will tell you
how many witnesses must see
you sign your will, and explain
that these witnesses should be
people who are NOT mentioned
in the will or codicils. There
also are other technicalities
which your lawyer Will explain
to you.
Finally, let me stress the i'm
portance of letting nobody ex-
cept the lawyer who draws up
the will for you know its con-
tents. Sign only the original will
and codicils, and only one car
bon copy which you can keep
unsigned In your safe-deposit
box to re-read once a year.
The receipt for the original you
can also keep In your safe
deposit box; but sign no dupli-
Gates of your will or codicils.

very little money, you should

Bubson Discusses:

Babson Park, Mass. Everyone
should make a will, and many
Should now make a codiciI. I
give here seven reasons why.
Too many people die suddenly
and Unexpectedly Especially in
automobile accidents). While, of
course, you may live a long life,
you also may die next week.
My wife, after many happy years
which we had together, died sud-
denly q few months ago after
only two days of illness. She
had made her will six years ago;
but I am sure she would have
made many important changes
but was too busy to get to it.
APPOINT
YOUR OWN EXECUTOR
Reason /. To be sure of hav-
Ing an executor friendly to your
interests and one who would be
pleased with your will, rather
than having some Judge perhaps
appoint a friend of his as ex-
ecutor with whom you might not
be satisfied. You can appoint
your own executor when writing
your will; but ! would not let
the executor know what 1t con-
tains until after your death.
Reason 2. If you die without a
will and the court has to dis
burse your estate, 1t may feel
obliged to advertise for heirs
you might never have heard Of.
Such expense and complications
can be largely eliminated by
making will and appointing your
own executor. You can then also
provide that the executor give
your beneficiaries property or
securities at a fair value in
stead Of cash.
Reason 8. BY making a will
you can give your executor cer-
tain discretionary powers, like

conservatives and liberals alike have
tempered their views in the fear Of alien
ating masses of voters.
President Kennedy and Senator Gold
water have made their records. The diff
ferences between them are profound,
particularly in the primary domestic is
sues, such as federal fiscal policy and
the whole Welfare State concept. There
are important differences in aspects Of
foreign and military policy too.
1t would be real battle, between
able and articulate men who would give
no quarter The people would have a
choice that really meant something.

All Need Each Other

Anthony F. Arpaia, Vice President of
REA Express, was long time member
of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
He speaks as an authority on transporta-
tion problems. He made point in re-
cent talk which is far less understood
than it should be. It is simply this, we
need all forms of transportation and all
forms of transportation need each other
Mr.. Arpaia offers this Illustration:
"Since the country could not get along
without railroads, you can be sure that
Milford chronicle., 1963-10-11

they will continue to exist in one form or
another. What will happen is that, if
they can't succeed under private enter
prise, the Government will take them
over and operate them.
Suppose our railroads were nation
allied, how could the other forms of
transportation expect to compete !.
with a Government subsidized railroad
system? 1t wouldn't be easy. The Gov
ernment can directly spend millions of
dollars at public expense.

fellow beating his wings and
honking like mad. l hope he found
the others.
We arrived home tired and
extremely hungry after tramp
ing around and inhaling all that
fresh air. Dinner was no prob
lem. We just ate anything that
was left over In the re-
frigerator : ham, potato salad,
spaghetti and meat balls, lima
beans, and so on until we were
satisfied. Then we watched some
home movies of Ellen when she
was a wee one; and, as Pepys
said, $50 to bed."

column, "Ramblin's," she asks
US what we all use for door
steps. Well, here at Trails End,
the doors are usually proppe6
back with old stone jugs In gray
and brown that we have collected.
Speaking Of stones, we have an
interesting fireplace hearth. II
Is made up Of stones brought to
us by our friends. The late Mrs.
Rennell Russell of Bridgeville
brought us a little round one
from the coast of Maine where
she was vacationing one sum-
mer; Kitty and Jeff Gray brought
a lovely one from Connecticut
for me; Flo and Jerry Pearson
brought such an interesting one
from the New Orleans area, a
big one that had been used for
ballast on the old sailing ships.
Il was boulder size and shape
and we wondered how to use 1t.
Mr.. Kern, who was assembling
the hearth for US, suggested that
we split the rock and put the
fiat surfaces up. The inside was
beautiful, kind of sparkling pink,
and we put all the pieces in one
corner. Our own contribution
was from Rehoboth and the Sky
line Drive.

Susan Invites

Susan is inviting the boys and
girls of New Castle County who
are at least 5 years old to visit
her farm.
Susan is calf and her farm
is In the University of Della
wares experimental farm In
Newark.
Edward H. Schabinger, New
Castle County agent, says school
classes and kindergartens can
visit the farm and meet Susan
and all Of her farm friends.
They'll see Susan's mother and
father; Betty, the brown hen;
Billy Broiler, Porky Pig,
Charlie Horse, and many other
animals.
Guided tours will be conducted
Monday through Friday, start
ing October 1st and continuing
through October 31st. Each tour
will last about an hour and will
include stops at the calf barn,
where Susan lives, the milking
parlor and the tractor and ma
chine shed.
Teachers who would like to
visit should call the agricultura al
extension service at 368-8511,
extension 426, as soon as pos
sfble.
Schabinger says sever
groups had to be turned down
last year because their leaders
called after the schedule was
filled. More than 1000 children
visited the farm last year, the
agent says. Tours start every
hour, beginning at 1000. Groups
should be no larger than 40

Dear Friends:

Dear Friends:
One of the lady storms from
the Caribbean kept threatening
to come north and bring bad
weather to the coast all the time
we were In Massachusetts, but
they never quite made It. Our
days, weatherwise and other
wise, were fabulous and we
couldn't have asked for a better
fall vacation.
Thursday, the 26th Of Sept,
Hayes was again In conference
at the Somerset Hotel In Boston
and left him at 8:15 In the
morning and pointed the car
toward the Massachusetts turn
pike, west. BY nine-thirty |
veered off the turnpike and went
to Old Sturbridge Village.
Albert and Cheney Wells were
real collectors of early pieces
OF Americana. Their collection
OF antiques In the Sturbridge
area became so vast they knew
something would have to be done
with all their treasures and a
museum seemed the answer. In
stead Of housing their collection
in the usual museum style they
decided to make a village and
place all their old valuables In
a natural setting hence Old
Sturbridge Village.
AS one hostess stated: 'Tt's
as though the world stopped at
1640." Nothing In the village
dates past that time. The village
Westinghouse, or church, sits
high on a hill and overlooks the
village itself. All the paths are
dirt and as one walks from one
village building to another anc
enjoys the quiet andpeacefulness
of the village you wish some
times you too might revert back
to that yesteryear. l walked into
the Freeman farmhouse anc
thought how cozy 1t seemed
compact as it was. The two
ladies of the house were build
ing a fire In the fireplace oven
taking the wooden latches out
of the window to let the warm
morning air In, and back II
their pantry they were mixing
rice pudding. II all seemed like
fun to be part of until I saw
MORE the kitchen work area
with its pump, and the stone
trough where there was a buckef
of garbage not going into Z
garbage disposal, but being
saved for the pigs out In the
farm yard. The rooms away
from that center room with the
fireplace were a might cool, too

A Red-Letter Day for me this
week. One late afternoon, my
Teen-agers took me deer hunt
ing. l was the arrow-bearer :
think. With my pointed wool cap,
old black slacks, and an old
plaid Mackinaw Of uncertain, but
ancient days, I looked like bad
caricature of Robin Hood; and
any deer gazing upon me would
probably have died from sheer
fright.
To begin with, when I started
to unfold out of the car, fell
out and rolled into the soy bean
field, which threw US all into
Mysteries. Finally they got arth-
rit1c me on my feet and we
reached the woods and started
stalking around. tried to obey
all the orders Kissed at me, such
as "Don't move," "Keep quiet" !"
"Circle around" and "SHUT
UP" We saw some deer but
they were a lot smarter than
we were. It was fun anyway,
and even the beauty of the scar
let leaves would have made the
jaunt worthwhile for me. There
was also drama when Ellen al
most stepped on snake, big
fellow with yellow and black dia-
monds on his back and a yellow
belly.
Perhaps the very best bonus
for me was the wild geese. They
do something to me that I can't
really describe. I feel a kind Of
mystic pull and yearning to be
off with them in the restless
wind. We saw perhaps a dozen
V-formations. They were flying
rather low and honking contin-
uously. l remarked how odd 1t
was that each flock had a leader

some church or charities, as
well as friends, to whom you
wish to make gift. This can be
done only by executing a Will.
The only hope of this old world
is religion; and the church holds
the key and is the doorway there
to.

MAKING WILLS

determining what property to sell
and deciding various other things.
You can directly will certain
articles of furniture, clothing,
etc., to definite people and be
sure things are done as you would
want to do them your self, with
out fear Of litigation.
Reason 4. If a court should
liquidate your estate, 1t might
sell property hurriedly or during
depres sion. BY making will
you can give your executor time
and enable him to use his judg-
ment and consult other people.
This privilege could save your
estate thousands of dollars.
CONSIDER LEAVING
MONEY IN TRUST
Reason S. BY making a will,
you can arrange to leave money
In trust SO that your brother or
sister or spouse may thus have
the full income during his or her
lifetime and then have 1t go to
the children or to others. You
may wish to distribute your
property in unequal proportion,
especially II one beneficiary Is
disabled or handicapped. To dc
this, you must make a will or
add codici1.
Reason 6. If the estate goes
to a court-appointed executor 1t
may take two years or more be-
fore being settled and your wife
and family may have nothing on
which to live during this period.
BY making a will you can author
lie your executor to pay your
wife certain amount each month
pending settlement of your es-
tate, or to give her more money
II an unexpected Illness or other
trouble should come.
