run sharply counter to those Of the other
five members of the Common Market
and also to the views of the United
States government. Although the French
president is remarkably unyielding
man, it may be that he will bow to con
certed opposition if it seems to have the
backing of world opinion.
There is no doubt that the United
States, Britain and to a lesser extent the
members of the Common Market will
work to build up wave of sentiment for
their point of view. This effort has al
ready begun, notably at the recent New
York dinner honoring Jean Monnet The
French statesman was lavishly praised
by Mr.. Kennedy, who said among other
things, I'VE have also recognized with
you that strong Europe would be good
not only for Europeans but for the world
Z" Europe would be stronger with
Britain as full-fedged Common Market
partner. 1t is to be hoped that De Gaulle
will realize this and will, for once, not
insist on his own Judgment supremacy

of questions on Milford history
beginning with this issue and con-
tinuing throughout the month.
Quiz For February 8:
Early History of Milford.

citizens, clergyman and a
wealthy landowner, are credited
with being the founders of Mil
ford. Who we're they?
2. These two men are buried
in Milford, both graves being
marked by tombstones. Where is
each one buried?
8. What was the name of the
tract of land on which the town
of Milford was originally laid
out?
4. How did the name Milford"
originate?
5. Where was the business
section of early Milford located?
6. approximately where did
Parson Thorne build his dam?

CooIing-0ff Period

The chances for Great Britain's ac-
ceptance as a member of the European
Common Market have been considerably
increased by the De Gaulle-Adenauer
agreement to a cooling-off period. This
is not how the West German chancellor
and Frances president would describe
their decision to call for study Of the
whole question, but this is what it
amounts to.
Until De Gaulle and Adenauer met in
Paris to sign their treaty providing for
France-German cooperation, the pros
poets were that the British bid for en-
try into the Common Market would
again be vetoed by France. De Gaulle
had been adament on this point, and
there appeared to be little chance that
his position would change.
Now, however, a period Of at least
several weeks duration while the mat
ter is being studied will offer chance
to modify De Gaulle's views. There is
some hope in the fact that these views

to find more efficient and economical
methods of bringing convenient, attrac-
tive, high quality meat products from
farm to table.
So much for the facts-now for q
word about the system which has dcnc
so much to make this possible. We call
it the capitalist system, OF the private
enterprise system, or the free enterprise
system, or some other equivalent. What
ever the phrase used, it means a system
in which people have the right to pro-
duce and sell what they want, to take
their chances, and to willingly operate
in a competitive market in which con
sumer wants and demands are the final
arbiter.
This system produces abundance -
an abundance that would seem unbeliev-
able in most of the rest of the world. The
other systems, based as they are on gov
ernment dominance, and on official de
cree as to what the people may and may
not have, produces scarcity and want.

Close Watch On Cuba

The question whether the United
States did offer and then withhold air
cover at the Bay of Pigs invasion of
Cuba in 1861 is, though politically in
triguing, far less important than the
question whether another big Cuban mil
itary buildup is now in progress. 1t is
vital that we not lose sight of the sec
ond question while debating the first.
Attorney General Kennedy set the
Bay of Pigs controversy blazing again
when, perhaps with more inadvertency
than one expects of him, he told inter-
viewers that air cover had not been plan
ned for the invaders. Further fuel was
added to the fire by President Kennedy,
who supported his brothers account of
the 1861 episode. Opponents of the ad-

it was commonplace accompaniment Of

the Barbary pirates grew rich on it. Now
Fidel Castro has successfully revived this
barbaric costume, by exchanging some

grounds. And the response by the en-
terprises whose cooperation was vital

Facts And A System

Much of the world lacks even the
basic and most vital foods-predomina
ly meat. In this. as in so many other
areas of life, the United States is Won
derfully fortunate.
During 1868, says the chief officer Of
the American Institute, the greatest
amount Of beef ever to be produced in
one year will be served to the nations
consumers by the meat industry The
total will be 1872 billion pounds, gain
Cf 700 million over last year. 1t will
work cut to per capita consumption Of
80 pounds for beef alone For all the
red meats, the figure is estimated at
1888 pounds.
And increased consumption isn't the
whole story. The meat industry has kept
pace with modern technology, and il
fully prepared to handle the rising dc
mand. The research programs Of the
packing industry, the AMI spokesman
added, will continue to expand in order

limbering up for broad attack on the
whole question of how the Bay of Pigs
invasion was handled.
This may make a certain amount of
political fur fly. 1t would be well for the
public not to let that fur obscure its
view Of what is going on now in Cuba.
This, too, is subject to politically
motivated Interpretation. The buildun
has been minimized by the administra-
tion, whereas opponents have described
it as an enormous new threat. One hopes
that partisan considerations will not pre-
vail on either side. 1t is vital that the
buildup be watched with utmost care for
signs of aggressive intent, and that the
public be kept reliably informed

IN The AIR FORCE
by Elaine TOUnsend DickersOn

Speaking of hospitals, we
visited a fabulous one a couple
of weeks ago. National Institute
of Health or NH, is world re-
nown for the wonderful work
it pervades upon mankind. 1t
is located just north of D. c.
The first time l ever heard
about 1t was two years ago when
a dear friend Of our family had
her life saved at NH. They
are trying there each day to
find out more about modern
medicine and more than often
have patients who are hopeless
cases.
I didn't get to see much of
the grounds since we arrived
at NH one foggy night, but we
hunted for building #9. Hayes
electronic friend works in this
lab. and he met us at the back
door. cannot tell you the techni-
cal aspects Of what we saw.
only know where he works they
are seeking more information
about the brain, why 1t operates
and how it operates. He showed
US their interesting lab. where
they watch the brain waves as
they come across their machines,
the cages where they place their,
"guinea pigs" and their.
photography section where they,
can photograph reactions, etc.
We had just returned from a.
wedding and in the next labor ratoryl
I almost lost the wedding cake I,
had consumed AS he opened the
next door there were cages and
cages housing cats, which they
used for their experiments. Such.
contented animals / have never
seen. He opened one cage and I.
expected the feline to make a.
flying leap at me and he didn't
even venture one paw out Of the
cage. The most unusual part of the
cats were their heads where
metal disks had been embedded.
Minute wires are placed in the
center of that disk. The tip end
of the wire touches the portion
of the brain about which they
are currently seeking knOwI edge.
It's wonderful what science can
and is doing, but it didn't take
any scientist to tell me I had
better get out of there or
would be a case for the specialist

Until next week.

This Sunday, February 10,
Scout Observance Sunday will be
observed at the Asbury Methodist
Church in Harrington. The OBJ
servance begins Friday evening
on the parking lot at which time
the local scout units will set up
camp and prepare to spend the
next two (2) days and nights In a
camping experience. On Sunday
all the scout units will attend
church with their parents. Dur
ing the worship service Donald
Wells, son of Mr.. and Mrs. CAL
vim Wells, will receive the Eagle
rank, the highest rank available
to a boy scout. This rank has
been issued only one other time
In the history of scouting In Har-
rington. During this service, also
Chuck Peck, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Peck, Jr., and Allan
Greenly, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Greenly, will receive the
Star rank. The awards will be

complete with its tepees, bon
fires, and scouting exhibitions.
The public is invited during these
days of observance to visit this
scout camp exhibition and to in
spect 1t any time Saturday
or early Sunday afternoon.
The purpose of this observance
is to put scouting before the eyes
of our community and to pay
tribute not only to our scouts |
but also to their leaders who work |
tirelessly with remuneration and
often times without thanks.

Chamber Appeals
For Hearing Funds

The Delaware State Chamber
OF Commerce has made a special
appeal, by letter to the Governor,
members of the General AS
sembly and the Public Service
Commission, for funds to be ap-
propriated to conduct hearings on
motor carrier application GER
|tificates.
On June 18, 1862, the General
Assembly passed House Bill 238
and Governor Carvel signed it
to enable the Public Service Com
mission to further regulate motor
carriers in our State.
A request for additional funds
to allow the Public Service Com
mission to hold hearings and
add to their staff to accomplish
this was later denied.
Meantime, President Kennedy
had signed Public Law 87-805
to control the use of intrastate
certificates when used to obtain
interstate authority. The Federal
Law named February IL, 1868,
as grandfather" deadline date
for such action. An appeal to the
Interstate Commerce Com
mission to extend the deadline
date of February IL, 1868, will
be made to allow all Delaware
motor carrier applicants the
same privilege as those to whom
certificates have already been
granted by the Public Service
Commission.
The Public Service Commits
sion of Delaware has received
130 applications from motor
carriers for intrastate GER
tificates, of which 100 are Della
ware firms, but has been forced
to rule, due to the lack of funds,
that the cost of hearings must
be borne by the protestants.
The State Chamber in tits letter
pointed out that when govern
ment exercises its prerogative of
regulating an industryor service,
1t also assumes the moral re-
sponsibility of protecting those
regulated. It stated the public
interest is at stake since these
laws we're passed for the pro-
lection of the public by foster
ing sound competitive practices
as outlined by the National Trans
portation Policy.

Dear Friends:

Dear Friends:

car accidents to know the most
dangerous instrument in the car

as she could. On impact the wheel
did catch her on her left side,
but only bruised her there. She

She was anxious to get out
from the interior of that car

where they operated on her arm
and she "reSided" at said hos

Atomic Weapon

ONE NUCLEAR WEAPON is in
daily use, not in international
conflict but in the fight against
Icrime, reports the American Nu-
clear Society. Science has pro-
vided a tool of great sensitivity
and accuracy called "neutron
activation analysis" to detect
and identify evidence. Material
for test is exposed to neutron
lirradiation, causing some atoms
of each element present to be-
come radioactive. Identification
is then made by radiation
characteristic. This technique,
the Society says, enables in
vestigators to establish the
identity of persons, establish the
origin of contraband narcotics,
detect traces of gunpowder on
the hands of a person who has
fired a gun, verify art master
pieces, date archaeological find
ings and even tell the age of
wine.

Hercules Makes
Its 1862 Report

Hercules Powder Company
disclosed today, in its 1862 an
nual report to stockholders, net
sales and operating income OF
$454, 1929, 900, an increase of &c
percent above last years $780,
1872, 900.
Earnings after taxes increased
IL percent to $31, ,261, 900, while
earnings on common stock, after
adjustment for the stock split,
rose from $1.52 a share to 81 so.
Dividends were increased from
65 to rs cents a share. Capital
expenditures for 1862 were $685.
100000 and are forecast to be
approximately $40 million In
1868.
In a letter to stockholders,
signed by both the new president
of Hercules, Henry A. Thouron,
and by Albert E. Forster, chair
man of the board, it was pointed
out that 'fhe year just ended was
an improvement over 1861. We
expect next year to continue this
trend"
The annual report stated that
continued expansion of the COM
pany's facilities both at home
and abroad was a highlight of
1862, as Hercules observed the
50th anniversary of its founding.
BY the end of 1862, company
subsidiaries and affiliates had Is
manufacturing plants in operation
in 10 foreign countries, and
studies are under way which may
lead to plants in several other
countries"
Domestic expansion, the report
stated, included a new plant at
Harbor Beach, Michigan, to man.
ufacture monosodium glutamate
(MSG), using Hercules new fer
mentation process; a new plant
at Hopewell, Virginia, to make
ffNatroSol" water soluble hy-
droxyethyl cellulose; expanded
facilities for the production Of
"Herculon" polyproplene fiber,
for chemical propulsion, naval
stores, and nitrogen derivatives.
Chemical propulsion billings,
for space and defense projects,
'more than doubled" in 1862,
the report states, amounting to
$122 million.
In the report, stockholders
were told that research and de-
velopment during the year had
put continued emphasis on broad
er marketability of synthetic
polymerS. Out of research
had also come improved pine re-
sins and new pigments for the
paper, coatings, rubber, ink, and
adhesives industries.
AT the end of 1862 there were
approximately $1,000 men and
women employed by Hercules,
with about $4,000 of these in
chemical propulsion plants.
In analyzing the company's
commercial sales, which does
not include space and defense
work, the report shows that the
paper industry accounted for 16
percent of the company's gross
sales; the protective coatings in
dustry, 13 percent; plastics in
dustry, IL percent; agricultural
chemicals, z percent; mining and
quarrying, and the rubber in
dustry, each 6 percent; synthetic
fibers, 5 percent; printing ink, A
percent; and 8 percent each to
food, petroleum, and miscellan-
eous chemicals. Adhesives, con-
struction, soap and detergents
each accounted for 2 percent.
