are estimated to decrease, yet re-
vised 1868 figures indicate that eX-
penditures in the veterans area
are on the rise rather than on
the fall
And so it is clear that the Adj
illustrations fiscal program is
based on a series of estimates
which are subject to various
changes. fluctuations, and doubts.
The result is likely to be a def
cit larger than the Presidents
prediction. Prudent economists
estimate that the deficit in 1868
will go beyond the Presidents
guess of some II billion dollars
to a figure closer to Is billions
of dollars, the largest peacetime
deficit in history And, it is more
than likely that the 1864 budget
deficit will push the total public
debt to at least 325 billion dol
lars.
With such inconclusive cost and
revenue estimates pervading any
appraisal of the Administrations
fiscal 1864 budget, it is obvious
that the Congress will have to ac-
cord most careful examination to
this program in the months ahead.

The new controversy over Cuba
requires that all Americans should
give their attention to this danger
Gus and vexing problem. AT this
time, it seems valuable to sum up
what is known about the Cuban
situation and to evaluate those
facts which are not controversial
or contradicted by any responsible
source. In so doing, the situation
becomes more clear and more un-
derstandable, although the solution
is still difficult and elusive.
Shortly after the Congressional
elections of 1862, l made a trip to
New York to the United Nations
and there met with Ambassador
Adlai Stevenson and Ambassador
Charles w. Yost, Deputy Repre-
sentative of the U. S. in the Sc
curity Council. We discussed the
question of on-site inspection of
the long range and medium range
missile bases in Cuba. At that
early date, the outlook within the
United Nations was pessimistic
that such an inspection either by
the United States unilaterally, the
Organization of American States,
or the United Nations would be
allowed This prospect was dis
couraging and in my judgment
held the seed of much future
trouble.
During the month OF december,
l went to Cuba and visited our
Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay.
While in Cuba, l had occasion to
make a helicopter inspection of
the entire perimeter of the Cactus
Curtain and to discuss the military
situation with respect to Cuba with

$50, 900 TO START FARM

WINNIPEG, Man. (AP) A
young farmer needs 10 times as
much money to start a farm today
as he would have required before
the war, says an gricultural
economist.
Prof. H.C. Driver told the
closin ses sion Of Conference
Week at the University of Mani
toba that $4,000 is the minimum
capital outlay needed today to
begin farm unit.
1T has become next to impos-
sible for aspiring farm operators
to gain control Of this amount Of
capital without s ONE assistance
from parents. The farm business
is often called upon to support
two families until the parents re-
tire.
For young career farmers, Prof.
Driver recommended gov eminent
aid to increase their knowledge
Of technical and manage ment as
poets Of agriculture. The idea
would be to enable them to keep
up with the rapidly changing ag-
-icultural technology and prevent
hem from becoming submarginal
farmers.

/ have completed a nutrition ex-
pertinent using white mice. The
purpose Of the experiment was to
! determine the effects of a nutri-
tionally adequate diet versus ef-
facts Of a non-nutritionally ade-
quate diet. A control group of
two mice was used for each type
diet. The mice used for the ex-
pertinent were of a breed widely
used by biological laboratories
throughout the country.
Diets we're prepared from
foods frequently used In our
everyday menus. Mice on the
nutritionally adequate or good
diet received foods supply
lag good amounts of protein.
minerals and vftamins. Their
diet included generous quantities
OF milk, meat, green and yellow
vegetables and fruits. Mice on
the non-nkritionally adequate or
poor diet received less milk,
meat, green and yellow vege-
tables and fruits. In contrast to
the good diet, the poor diet con-
tanned large amounts of carbo-
hydrats foods, generally known
as starchss and sweets. Mice on
both diets received as much food
as they would eat.
During the experiment, rate
of-growth graph was kept. The
Milford chronicle., 1963-12-06

mice were weighed each week.
Since mice are small the gram
was used as the unit for deter
mining weight. The mice on the
good diet grew faster and more
steadily than mice on the poor
diet. At the end of six weeks,
mice on the poor diet showed
a drastic weight loss. They were
Immediately changed to the good
diet. This resulted in weight
gain.
Besides rate Of growth, other
results we're noted. Mice on the
good diet looked better and had
better dispositions than mice on
the poor diet. Mice on the poor
diet did not Immediately like
foods included In the good diet.
Students concluded that though
eating favored foods In generous
amounts body needs may not be
fulfilled for optimum growth.
The complete experiment In

room was mass of color,
making you feel as though you
were looking at many rainbows
which have appeared after a
summers rain. I was, therefore,
not too surprised, yet amazed,
when Mr.. Lonergan informed me
that they manufacture, on an
eight hour shift, from 1,500 to
1000 bedspreads a day, plus
600 pairs of cafe curtains, go
dozen mattress covers, 400
dozen pillow covers, $50 pairs
of tier curtains, zoo pairs OF
pillow shams and 400 dust
ruffles. l think it's safe to say,
"This is rather busy place."
1t certainly is most important
industry, one which every home
in Milford and perhaps the en-
tire United States have at some
time or other displayed one of
its lovely products.
Busy keeping the production
up with the demand is Florence
Maneval of Lincoln, who is floor
lady for this sewing and finish
ing department. In this same
room, with the twenty machines
that assemble the bedspraadx,
is some of the most modern
sewing equipment available,
which includes the finishing,
drapery and cafe machines,
blind stitch machine and the
surging machines. Most sewing
factories in Delaware must have
their trimmings, bindings and
tapes all made in New York,
but Milford Stitching manufac-
lures all of their own bias tape,
cording, bindings and other find
ings Ga term used for all sewing
accessories).
Along the far side of the room
are two cutting tables, each 86
feet long with one preader,
which spreads the hundreds Of
yards of material onto the tables
to be cut. Four hundred quilted
bedspread tops and 600 Of cor
duroy and other fabric can be
cut and trimmed at one time.
Close by this rather mammoth
machine is the Beck Sitter,
which cost $4,000. and auto
matically cuts the pillow pro-
tectors at the rate of 400 every
few hours. Compared to the job
this machine does, 1t is rather
small and is, therefore, a real
space saver. Located next to the
Sitter is a most interesting ma
chine which handles the opera
Milford chronicle., 1963-12-06

ton Of turning the pillow covers
right side out quickly and
smoothly, saving both time and
manpower. AS far as is known,
this is the only one of its kind
in the United States and Mr..
Lonergan pointed humbly with
pride that this machine was de-
signed with his assistance and
built by local machinist, Mr..
Ringold.
It is at the rear of this room
that the items are folded, pack
aged and put on conveyor belt
which takes the packages under
ground to another building that
has virtually hundreds Of bins
where the items are each placed
according to design, color, and
size. Here, the orders are filled
and then sent to the packing and
shipping department, where they
are shipped daily to customers
throughout the United States.
Having completed our visit
through the ordering and shipping
room, we passed through the
warehouse where hundreds of
bolts of the raw material is
stored. 1t would never do for a
woman with sewing as her hobby
to be left loose in this room,
for such an array of color and
richness Of cloth one has never
seen.
However, this was nothing
compared to the next depart
ment which was the most amaZ-
ing and fascinating of them all :
the room where the ten quilting
machines hummed and sang to
the tune of 108 needles per ma
chine, each gliding back and
forth sewing in the designs Of
various sizes and shapes. Each
machine carried a large roll Of
100 yards Of a beautiful cloth,
with shades of so many exciting
colors 1t prompts you to "Oh"
and "Ah" and wish you could
spend hours just watching the
beautiful cloth going through
these unique and fascinating ma
chimes. Each cost approximately
s5, 900. and can quilt 40o-45o
Yards a day. The 1o8 needles
hat stitch in the design are
controlled by the "Cam," which |
IAN be adjusted to create hun |
ireds of different patterns. |
These are the only quilting ma
chimes of this type that the com
,any knows of in the state of |
Delaware and, therefore, must |

produce all the quilting needed
to manufacture the thousands OF
bedspreads each day. Because Of
the great demand and haviag
found no ether place nearby to
do quilting such as is done here,
another machine is on order,
bringing the total number Of such
machines to eleven.
After the cloth is quilted, it Is
transferred to a trimmer ma
chine nearby, where one side 0
the huge roll is trimmed a IL
excess padding. It Is then tak0
to the long tables for final
cutting. This machine was also
built and designed by Mr.. Ringold
and does the Job d three
separate machines.
We went back through the sew
ing room and into an adjoining
room, much smaller In size,
but certainly not without as much
tivity. For here are numerous
Upper stitching machines, hen-
mer machine, plus a new auto
matte pleater, which puts five
pleats in a drapery at one time.

there is to the manufacturing 0

hope you, too, will appreciate
more, as well as admire with
an appreciative eye, the lovely
and attractive bedroom en-
sembles which adorn the many

MILFORD STITCHING
co.
By Winnie Lynch

The last time we visited one
Of Milford's Industries 1t was at
the North end of Marshall Street
We will now go to the South end
Of this same street, where stands
"a large, white building with a
dome like roof with several other
buildings attached and a sign
which reads "Milford Stitching
Co." 1t doesn't seem too MANY
years ago that many of us were
taking our children to this same
building which housed an indoor
skating rink. But the years fly
by and progress continues, and
now in this same building, which
is twice its original size is one
of the largest manufacturers of
bedspreads, pillow covers, mat
tress covers, pillow shams and
drapery AMI cafe curtains in the
United States.
Mr.. Gorden MacLean, Assist
ant Secretary and Comptroller of
this rapidly growing industry,
was most helpful and coopera-
tive as he discussed with me
the many points of interest and
the history of the Milford Stitch
Ing Company. The company,
which operated under Lady
Linda, moved here in its en-
tirety from Freeport, Long
Island, N. Y. in April, 1852.
The bulk of the manufacturing
in New York was mattress
covers and pillow protectors,
but soon after moving to Milford
hey began manufacturing bed
spreads in volume. They are
now employing $50, compared to
$3.50 at the beginning Of 1853
and are contemplating further
in the very near
'uture.
