The commission had this au-
thority until 1857.
The planners want 1t re-
stored because the Prince
Georges County Commissioners
have been holding up proposed
subdivision regulations for two
years without taking any &C
ton. Commission officials also
said the regulation adopted
by the Montgomery County
Council are almost unavoidable
The commission administers
the regulations, even though II
no longer has the power tc
adopt them.
Wait Approval
Legislators are waiting che
reaction of two county govern
ing bodies that haven't taken a
stand yet on the proposal.
Meanwhile, legislation to re-
lieve Maryland's park chief of
control of park development in
the Patuxent River Valley is
being drafted by a Prince
Georges County lawmaker.
Delegate Hervey Machen
Democrat. proposed that a pub
lie authority be created to con-
troll development of the valley
with the aim of preserving open
spaces between the Baltimore
and Washington Metropolitan
Areas.
Mr.. Machen, chairman of the
Legislative Councils Potomac
River Committee, sharply
criticized Maryland Park Di-
rector william baylor for not
releasing $150,000 appropriated
two years ago in State match
ing funds for aquisition Of
parkland in the Patuxent
Valley.
Under Mr.. Machen's bill
State funds for parkland pur-
chase in the valley would be
channeled through the public
authority instead of through
Mr.. Kaylor's department. Two
years ago, the General Assem-
bly, authorized the State to pay
half the cost of land purchases
with the other half to be paid
by the localities.

TALENT Is CAPITAL

This incident reveals how sue
cess can be attained by business =
men who may rate very low in
number of employees and dollar
assets, but who rate very high
in personal industry, stick-to-
itiveness, and talent. If you look
around, you will find similar
examples in your own locality.
They prove better than statistics
and the most logical theories
that the roots Of economic sue
cess go far deeper than dollar
capital. It is true that you can
not operate a. business without
capitab" but Iaaun sure that the
White Houses does notnmeasure
capital only by bank balances.
The White House desires that
any man or woman should be
able to "capitalize'' on skill,
diplomacy, patience, good taste,
and other intangible resources.
Too many think only of going
to the bank for the needed capital,
and never think of tapping their
own reserves of mind, energy,
and spirit.
Large business concerns feel
that Robert Kennedy, the Attorney
General and the Presidents S
brother, treats big business un-
fairly, and l am sympathetic to
their position; it would be i'm
possible to build up foreign trade
without "big business to fight
for US. However, l know that
the White House wants to help
"small business" in every legiti-
mate way. Write your Congress-
man if you need help; but ask
him to go and talk with Presi-
dent Kennedy's advisers and
friends at the White House.

Delaware Food
Market Report
BY Anne w. Holberton


Food prices are generally
higher now and they will remain
so in the coming weeks. Unfavor :
able weather in winter fruit and
vegetable growing areas have cut
supplies, resulting in higher
prices. A second bout of freezing
weather in Florida has tempo
rarily drastically cut shipments
of a majority of fruits and
vegetables supplied by Florida.
That isn't all for shortages of
Florida produce have been made
more acute by a freeze in Texas,
Arizona and in the citrus belt
of California. This has now up
set hopes of an early recovery
and back to normal prices.
Damaged produce is adding to
the trouble also. Frostbitten
fruits and vegetables deteriorate
rapidly and losses are consider
able even after such produce
arrives in the market. So look
carefully before you buy and
check quality.
Strikes, too, have disrupted the
normal flow of food supplies in
many cases. AS a result of these
circumstances you will find many
foods priced at their highest level
in recent years. The best pro-
duce is wearing the highest price
tag so high in some cases
that people are refusing to buy.
Though meat supplies are
somewhat larger than year ago,
particularly beef and pork, prices
do not reflect this situation.
Though meat prices are expected |
to decline some, they are likely |
to remain above year ago levels.
The meats showing the least |
change from a year ago are
porterhouse and chuck steaks,
and chopped beef;
pork loin roast and ham; veal
chops; and leg of lamb.

Babson Park, Mass, Jan. "a.
Now and then / hear someone
say that the day of small 'busi-
ness is over. That seems foolish
to me. Is this really so? To
be successful does an operation
have to be vast, enormous, colos-
sal? The answer is NO. in
spite of the growing numbers Of

giant industrial complexes. Like
thousands of others, | have al

YOU" So long as you and I want
this kind Of neighborly, friend
ly service, we must be optimiS-
tic about the future Of small busi-
ness in this country.
"SMALLS" CAN BE DURABLE
Huge size does not necessari-
ly mean huge success. This fact
reminds me of that fighter of
earlier days, Bob Fitzsimmons,
who became famous for his

come, the harder they fall"
Philosophers might even point

well down through the ages, and
their descendants are still keep

day exterminate man himself.

Mrs. Robert Rankin was chair
man on Monday for the program
at the Milford New Century Club
that had the title fWoman's Work
Is Never Done." Mrs. Rankin
spoke of the daily tasks of women,
what she accomplished and with
the time left over, that of
necessity or hobby, filled In what
was left. A number of members
brought exhibits Of their handi-
work, all very lovely and done
with precision that brought ap-
plauSe from the audience. Mrs.
John Scott, who had very time
ly spread on one Of the daily
papers, further enlightened the
members on her work of art
In hooking rugs. She showed
the raw material, the process
of cutting and dyeing and some
exquisite samples of the finished
product. Mrs. Rankin exhibited
a table, pictures, and samples
OF weaving. Miss Cordelia Car
ter showed her crewelwork, done
on linen, differing from the En-
glish burlap. Mrs. Henry Burkett
does feather hat making and oil
painting which she exhibited.
Mrs. Harold Wall's contribution
was weaving on fine linen towel
ing. Mrs. Daisy Hayt showed
sweater with needle point front
panels. Mrs. Vernon Hill does
sketching to reproduce pictures.
She showed two of her grand
parents. Varied as these hobbies
were, they all proved interesting
and the time left over from the
busy days had been profitably
spent. A humorous reading
"Mommy's Club" was given by
Mrs. Borden Smithpreceding the
program.
Mrs. George Westphal, presi-
dent, presided at the meeting
conducted before the program.

fined family and individual pray

COUNTRY WITH A PAST

All Communist countries but II e
have at least one border on either the sea
or the free world. The exception is Mon
golia, completely surrounded by Com
munist nations. Along the north for 800
miles lies Russia; the southern border
extends along China for 300 miles.
Mongolia is larger than all Western
Europe. Although it has only a million
Inhabitants, it is member Of the United
Nations, and very proud of it. Central a
mong the countIy'S problems is that of a.
voiding engulfment by the giant neigh
bors.
Mongolia is not a haphazard terri
tory like Laos 1t is a unit with a great
history memories of which still fill the
Mongolians with hopes for independence.
At present the country is a part of the
Soviet Union; until 1911 it had been
ruled by the Chinese. The memories Of
Chinese rule are so bitter that of the two
the Mongols would prefer subjection to
Russia.
In the Middle Ages the whole civiliz-
ed world lay in terror Of the Mongols,
under GenghiS Khan and his successors.
This shepherd people conquered China,
all Asia north Of Tibet, and Russia be-
sides. The saying went, From the East
ern Ocean to the German border not a
dog could bark without Mongol leave"
Two factors ended the Mongol men,
ace; the introduction Of firearms superb
on to the MOngol bows, and the converS-
ion Of the Mongols from primitive ma
ture worship to the peaceful religion of
Buddhism. With such great past ma
ti0nalistic STRINGS are natural. If the
MOngolS can play the Russians and the
Chinese off against each other, they may
gain their independence and become a
factor in Asia.

Sonal consideration and service.
He must present himself as an

surely not easy. But it is en-
couraging to realize how many

neSsmen throughout the country

ambition to succeed and do sue
coed in this way.
ALWAYS A FUTURE FOR
SMALL BUSINESS
! have watched with much in
terest the development of cleo
tronics and aeroSpace businesses
over recent years. While the big
boys might have been expected
to hog the field, countless small
producers have also done a tre-
mendous amount of the expert
mentation, research, and actual
production of new, complicated
items. Analysis of available
figures proves that most smaller
concerns are getting along ex-
tremely we'll, not just in civilian
production and trade, but also
in the booming aerospace, de-
fense, and other electronics
fields.
Some time ago heard of a
perfect example of what can be
done by a small business essman with
get-up-and-go. A large prime
contractor bought and installed in
his tiny plant costly machine
tool equipment. The proprietor of
this almost one-man shop was,
of course, highly trained ex-
pert. He put in endless hours
of overtime, operated the COM
plex machines personally, and
turned out finished work, on
schedule.

IN A SOUND BODY

If there is one thing more than any
other that makes man feel old beyond
his years, it is a picture of a United
States senator playing vigorous game
of water basketball with a bunch of
Peace Corps youths and looking like their
younger brother the while. That shot of
Ted Kennedy leaping out Of the water to
score basket was enough to make the
average middle-ager sink back on the
davenport and mutter about kids playing
at government.
Sour grapes aside Ito the extent pos
sible, that isl, it is hard to find anything
wrong with the idea Of highly placed men
in government exercising enough to stay
fit. If they play at it, instead Of merely
going through set Of prescribed exer-
cises with grim face and an eye on the
clock, so much the better
The ancient Greeks ideal of sane
mind in sound body still makes good
sense. Brisk recreative exercise makes
especially good sense for men whose
work is done mostly from the neck up.
Being Senator Kennedys age makes it
easier, granted. But even the middle
aged dub at competitive sports can keep
himself more fit for his job by indulging
in pleasant exercise as often as possible.

TIE NEW YEAR

When 1862 burst upon us, year ago,
1868 seemed long time away. It's now
u,cn US, and another year is now to be
deposited in the pages of past history.
The year 1868, too, will go fast-fast-
er than 1862 (each goes little fasterl
and soon 1864 will be here, and we will
be looking back on 1868. What Will
have happened in 1868? What will we
have accomplished, or lost, in the twelve
months?
1868 began on a Tuesday. George
Washington's birthday comes on Fri
day, in February July 4th will come on
a Thursday. Thanksgiving will come
early, on the 22nd and Christmas in 1868
will fall in the middle of the week, on
Wednesday, And before you know 1T, all
these days will have come and gone and
you will be year older-if you are here
The first months of the new year will
feature short days steadily getting long
er, though the temperature will not y
reflect it. The years first full moon came
on the 9th. The morning stars will be
Mercury Qate in the month";, Venus and
Mars. The evening stars will be Mercury
(up till the 20th), Jupiter and Saturn.
On the 9th, also Congress met for
its two-year session, the last of Presi-
dent John Kennedys four-year term of
office. Tougher tax laws apply to eX-
pense accounts on the 1st. But you have
until january 31st, to file your last quar-
ter returns.
The first month contains 81 days. 1t
will probably be the coldest in the year.
1t usually means good business for the
coal and oil dealers and for those stores
who still handle long-handlesi
The 10Th and 21st are the birthday
anniversaries of General Robert Z. Lee
and I. j. "Stonewall' Jackson, great men
in the history of our country.

NEW CAR SALES

The fast clip Of new-car sales is an
encouraging business sign. There are in
dications that the record year Of 1855
might almost equalled, that is, that sales
might reach up toward the 100000
mark, for the full twelve months Of 1862
(1955 sales totals were 7,20O,O00.)
More than any other country neW-car
sales exert tremendous influence on the
United States economy. Auto makers use
enormous quantities of steel They also
consume rubber, glass and various COM
ponents in huge quantities.
The automobile manufacturers en-
ploy great numbers of workers, and good
sales mean increased work and increased
pay and more paychecks spent. This, i'll
turn, increases business, and even in
creases new-car sales to degree.
