DELAWARE'S LEADING WEEKLY NEWSPAPER
MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Associated Press is entitled exclusively to the
use for republication of all the local news printed in
this newspaper, as well as all AP news dispatches.
Recently Mrs. Mary Robinson, editor of
-the Sussex Countian of Georgetown, speak
ing through the editorial columns of her
newspaper, threw a brickbat, so to speak,
at upstate newspapers and columnists. The
blast" was brought on by stories which were
critical of conditions at the Sussex County
Prison. These stories, it seemed to many
readers, were unwarranted and misleading,
Mrs. Robinson wrote in defense of the prison
and those responsible for its administration
and operation. She expressed the feeling of
thousand of Sussex Countians when she
voiced resentment at the meddling in our
county affairs by so-called social reformers
in Wilmington and elsewhere. In the course
of her editorial discussion she voiced the
opinion that the average Sussex County res
ident thought, and reacted, to present day
problems more like the average Maryland
eastern shoreman than to the thinking of
Wilmingtonians and New Castle Countians.
That, as we recall the editorial, was the
thought advanced by Mrs. Robinson. Later,
Gilbert Jones, editor of the Laurel Register
and a native Sussex Countian, suggested
through the editorial columns of his news
. paper the possibility that Sussex County
should secede from Delaware and affiliate
itself with the counties on the eastern shore
of Maryland.
We read both editorials with some in
terest. Our reaction at the time was that
maybe someone's feelings h'ad been hurt by
news items criticising the Sussex Jail con
ditions and other things. The suggestion of
Mr. Jones we brushed aside for just what it
was— «dîtorîâr wîshf u 1 thinking maybe. But
now Bill Frank, writing in the Wilmington
Morning News, needles both Mrs. Robinson
and Gilbert Jones. To our way of thinking
?this is one subject that is better dropped
| |than followed to a point where dissension
iand Strife could result. Just such unneces
|sary controversies have lead to misunder
.standings and trouble in the past. It is too
■ easy to create strife in these trying times—
times when nerves are on edge—to have
i this "needling" continue.
The writer Was born on the Kent County
side of Milford. For over forty years, dur
, ing all of his married life, he has resided
I on the Sussex County side of this city. We
are a native-born downstater. We believe
I that we know both the mental reactions of
. people in Kent and Sussex Counties and
those in Wilmington and rural New Castle
Ü' County. We get around and keep in con
Vstant touch with affairs, both county and
state. We have not the slightest doubt about
the reactions of the "downstaters" to any
given problem. It is our judgment that the
t average Sussex County resident reacts very
much as do those of our nearby Maryland
> county residents. There is a reason for this.
Lower Delaware, and Sussex County in par
ticular, is predominantly agricultural. So
are the adjoining counties of Maryland. It
is natural and normal to think and react
along the »lines of one's environment. By
te same line of reasoning, "up State", which
includes Wilmington and the northern por
tion of New Castle County, is predominant
ly industrial. The people there naturally
think along the lines of things which affect
• their livelihood and living conidtions. It is
just two different ways of life meeting and
overlapping in a very small state.
it is within the realm of possibility that,
as the years pass, this cleavage between the
needs of the northern and southern parts
of the State will become more pronounced.
Notwithstanding this, there is no reason
why reasonable people of both sections of
the State should not sit down calmly and
meet any problems which may arise, A bet
ter feeling will be engendered for people of
all of Delaware when Wilmingtomans stop
referring to Sussex Countians as "hicks",
and downstaters.stop looking with suspicion
on every man or woman from our rnetropo
lis in northern Delaware who advances a
plan which he or she thinks will make our
little State a better place in which to live.
Delaware is changing. There is no doubt
about that. Whether for the better or worse
only time will tell. It is Very noticeable in
the newspapers publishing industry in Delà
ware. It is a fact that a véry large per
centage of Delaware newspapers are pub
lished and edited by men who have come to
our State within comparatively recent years,
A larger proportion of Sussex County news
papers are owned and edited by native born
ions and daughters than are those of any
çther part of the State. This may be good
and again it may not. We find a lack of
knowledge of Delaware and Delawareans on
* t r the part of many of these editors and pub

condition may correct itself. Or it might be
better that persons with outside viewpoints
should discuss our problems.
It is right and proper that our problems
should be* discussed—and discussed in full.
But no good is to be had by continuing a
needling" campaign directed against any
one section of our little State. Talk of se
cession is tommy rot. It's just a Tempest In
Teapot. Our "upstate" penmen will do
well to let the matter drop. There are many
other worthwhile things to write about—
things upon which we can all agree.
NEW POWER POLICY NEEDED
For years the Department of the Interior
and other departments of the federal gov
ernment have used development of hydro
electric power sites as a lever to help pro
mote socialized electricity. They tried in
vain to put over a vast Columbia Valley Au
thority modeled in part after the TVA. This
effort failed because it was opposed not only
by private industry but by the governors of
the states involved. Then many other schemes
. . . • « , / % ,1 Ä i
were hatched atyd proposed to push the ted
eral government further into the power bus
iness.
The recent election in which the people
indicated they were fed up with big govern
ment and socialism has forced the power
planners to take a different tack. The ad
ministrator of the Bonneville Power Admin
istration now suggests that the federal gov
ernment get out of the power business. Whe
ther or not this is jiM a switch to try and
ride with the tide, it comes as good news to
taxpayers far removed from the Northwest
who have been compelled to put up billions
of dollars for western power development,
Aside from the political issues surround
ing hydroelectric power there are increasing
signs that costly power dams may one day
become obsolescent white elephants. Scien
tific and technological progress already on
the horizon may make us wish that we had
n °t put so much money into these hydroelec
trie projects, btcam plants fueled by coal,
lignite or oil are becoming more and more
efficient. Oil from shale is already being ex
tracted by the Bureau of Mines and if costs
can be lowered there will be inconceivably
large resources. There is also atomic power,
The new administration might well pause
f° r a reconsideration of federal policy to
ward the entire subject of further mvesc
ments in hydroelectric power.
"Everybody wants government spending
reduced—except when it cuts into his own
pet project." That is the theme of an article
in Nation's Business, written by George
Cline Smith, aptly entitled "Economy Is For
Others,
labor groups, veterans, state and local gov
eminent officials and organizations—-all are
for strict economy as a general principle,
But, more often than not, when some pro
posed reduction in federal spending will cut
into what they consider their share of the
pie, they howl to high heaven. We saw a
sad example of this when the Hoover Com
mission's reports on government reorgani
zaticn were made public. As Mr. Smith ob
serves, "Everybody was for the Hoover rec
ommendations in general. But on any spe
cif.c point, powerful opposition developed,
As a result, many of the most needed and
most logical reforms recommended by the
commission are still hanging fire,
Here is one big reason why today's fed
eral tax bill averages $1,389 for each and
every American family—and why that fam
ily's share of the national debt is $5,650.
And it also is a reason why, believe it or not,
the Treasury in one week of 1962 took in
more money in taxes than in all of 1940!
The point is simple. The drive for econ
omy in government must begin at the grass
roots. It must begin with an overwhelming
public demand for economy regardless of
whose ox is gored—and regardless of selfish
interests and special privilege. Then we will
get economy—for Washington always mir
rors the piood and temper of the people.
"WELFARE CLAUSE" ABUSED
Because the Preamble to the Constitution
says it was adopted "to promote the general
welfare," every dogooder who has descend
e( j on Washington ir. the past 20 years
«has defended his pet project as Constitu
tional under the so-called "welfare clause,
The result has been to entangle the Fed
e ral government in an endless series of works
a nd missions which should have been hand
led by state and local governments. All this
has * helped increase Federal employment
f r0 m 622,000 in 1932 to more than 2,500,000
today. It nas helped to boost Federal
penditures from $4,659,000,000 in 1932
an estimated $74,593,000,000 in the current
fiscal year,
more than the economy can support and
main prosperous. The only way to curtail
its expenditures is to bring government back
home »o that state and local governments
can handle their own public services. That's
what the Founding Fathers intended .them
to do.
REVENUE MEANS POWER
The power to tax has always meant
power to control. In 1913, when state
local governments received 67% of all reve
nue collected from taxes, they were free
able to hapdle the responsibilities properly
theirs under our Constitution. Of late years,
when the Federal government has been
ing about three-fourths of all tax revenue,
Federal grants-in-aid became necessary,
That meant Federal control by a centralized
government. The Federal government
become too big for efficiency, and too costly
for our economy to bear and remain prospér
ous. In at laest four pre-election speeches
General Eisenhower indicated that, as Pres
ident, he would favor a program to "bring
government back home," so that state
local governments could reassume
proper responsibilities.
It's up to Congress to put that program
into effect.
IS ECONOMY FOR OTHERS ONLY?

Dear family, ;
We know you must all be worried
about us after reading of the floods.
We were saved by being on higher
ground—we arc only two blocks,
from the sea front, but there is a
big hill and cliff at the end of cjr
road going down to the sea. so the
water could not come this way. It
broke through on both ends beside
us. We had high winds and hitter
cold Saturday and Sunday morn
ing about 1 A. M., it broke through
and in a matter of minutes had
flooded a big area. No one was ex
pecting it and a policeman is credit
ed with saving some lives by run
ning through the water and knock
ing on doors until it was up to his
chest. People cut holes in their
roofs and climbed out and sat there
waiting to be saved—some could
not be gotten to in time. Whole
housing developments are gone—a
whole trailer colony was tossed!time
around like pieces of straw, turn
ed upside down, crushed and float
ing in the water. We looked at the
ruins from the top of a hill two
blocks away—at the houses float
ing and the sight was horrible. The
men In the services, and the volun
teer units worked continually and
are still working—the water is still
here, although it has gone down in
some places—people are still "miss-1

covered. Yesterday, I took some of
my clothes down to the relief cen
ter as did by landlady— people
were sitting there dazed looking.
As soon as I gave the clothes the

She had a little girl who needed

BABSON PARK, Fla., February 13—It may be
out of place for me—a mere statistician to discuss
Korea. I have visited Japan, China and the Philip
pihes; but have never been to Korea. One of my
experts, however, leaves this month on a round
the-world trip and will later bring- back a report
which I will pass along to my readers.
is
IMPORTANCE OF HISTORY
Here at my winter headquarters I have a library
of over 10,000 volumes, some of which were pub
lished previous to 1760. While here the past month
I have spent much time reading the history of the
modern world, which dates back to the Roman
Empire. There are two outstanding facts: (1) Some
one nation was always the "top dog." (2) That
nation was usually at war with some other nation
which was attempting to tip over her "apple-cart."
The Roman Empire started with good leaders
and the best intentions, but it was continually at
war. These wars were not to seek more power, but
to prevent other nations from seizing the power
which Rome then held. Every high school student
who has studied "Caesar" knows the story. Finally,
Rome was economically exhausted with these con
tinual conflicts, and the Roman Empire collapsed.
Later, the Spanish Empire took the leadership and
went through the same experience. Then the French
took the ball.
REMEMBER THE BRITISH
Following Rome, Spain and France, England
became the world's greatest power. She held this
leadership until the first World War. Her battle
cruisers were in every large fiort and she policed
the world, and was usually fighting somewhere. She
Just had to do this to hold her position. England
also was rich and did the world's banking, insurance
and shipping. The English Pound Sterling was then
the world's universal currency ,as is our Dollar
today. Germany, however, then looked with envious
eyes upon England, as Russia is now jealous of us.
In her endeavor to continue as "top dog," England
went to war against Germany in 1914 and again in
people that ware found after the |
water got lower. I have my name ;
in so that anyone could be sent |
here for me to feed, however, a 1
number of guest houses were tak- !
ing in people to sleep and were
feeding them as well, so I won't
be needed I don't think. They are
finding more people all the time. I
have heard people telling of their
escapes—they are excited but as
one husband said, "My wife is all
right now, but God help us when j
she calms down and realizes what
we have lost". Farms are under
water, cattle and sheep drowned,
the crops and land ruined, money
washed Into the sea as well as
homes, for those who escaped did
so in their nightclothes and could
not get any money out. One girl, |
who lives in one of the homes that j
was washed away told us of climb- j
ing out on the roof and fearing the
water would rise another foot be
fore help came. She and her fam- ;
ily have lost everything and are
staying with friends—she said it
would be years before they could
ever have another home. The man
I ttuy potatoes and fruit from has
lost his crop's, cattle, the land ruin
ed, and he saved his wife by carry
\ ing her out on his back with the
water up to his chest—he tries to
j laugh to help his wife and said, "I
| tried to get rid of her. but every
she would slip under water,
she kept bobbing up again!" The
j courage of these people is amaz
1 ing. A mother held her two chil
dren, one on each side of her on
j the roof—finally, numbed by the
j cold, the children slipped from her
grasp into the water and were
gon e. The majority of dead are
(elderly and children, although some
| are younger. The Royal Air Force
station in Felixstowe is under wa
ter and the people had to be evac-1
j ua ted there. One woman had her
; baby during the flood while await

1940. These last two wars bled England so that
is now a second-rate power. There now is little
of her getting strong again.
WHAT ABOUT THE U. S. A.I
The United States is now the richest and
powerful nation of the world. We have taken
world leadership from England. But with this lead
ership come responsibilities. We must police
world. We are like a boy who is the gang leader.
In order to so remain, he starts no fights; but
some other hoy starts a fight with him or with
member of his gang, he must fight that upstart.
Otherwise, he is no longer a leader. His Influence
is gone. This is the situation which the United
States has gotten into. We should blame no
It just happened.
Unfortunately, we are like the man who had
"bull by the tail." He was asking himself: "Shall
I let go or hang on?" If we are to defend our
sition of leadership we must continue to fight
Korea and wherever we are challenged. This.means
we must "hang onto the bull's tail"; but this is
will continue to be an unhappy position. On
other hand, if we swallow our pride and withdraw
from Korea we become a second-class nation.
WE CAN EXPECT NO PEACE
I have a strong feeling that the Chinese
get tired of the fighting* Then Eisenhower will
out some kind of a temporary peace with Russia
which will "save face" all around. But it will
only temporary. Russia does not want World
III so long as Stalin lives; hut she is determined
worry us and bleed us economically so long as
can do so.
Mothers, sisters and sweethearts are very
ious to end the Korean War. I think this will
done with honor. But I further forecast that,
a year after the Korean peace, trouble will
out elsewhere. We all must expect our sons to
sent to fight somewhere at some time. The
we get used to both worries and taxes, the
for all concerned.
Emergency rations are being issu
ed for food and coal. However, the
big need is tor clothes and money
and housing. Some Air Force fam
|ilies were in the flood, but as far
|as we know they were all evacua
ted safely. There were at least 20
families (American) lost near here.
All this coast had floods and I am
praying that Mrs. Wilson's family
in Ipswitch is all right. I never
thought I would ever be in an area
hit like this. I went to see the
people who were here at Mrs. Os
born's at Christmas—they are an
elderly couple—and grown daugh
tei in London, and they looked up
set. The water had flooded their
downstairs, and when you walked
the mud and filth just oozed out of
the carpets. They were too heavy
to pick up to put outside to dry—
chairs were upside down all over
the place, canned goods, here and
there, books and papers ruined Bs
well as the floors, etc. They have
no electricity and very little gas
supply. She said she was writing
to her daughter telling her to come
home for a week to help. Two doors
from their house the water was
still high. The beach huts alofig the
front were smashed, boats tossed
up on dry land and smashed—
shrubbery torn up. The Scotch peo

Sacto, 18, Calif.
February 6, 1963
When we 8 'met our friends the
Bill Tiernans of Wilwaukee. Wte
consin, in Houston. Texas of
course, they wanted to know where
we came from. We proudly told
them Milford, Delaware, and /guess
as soon as they went home they got
out their world atlas to see where
the Dickersons were located geo
graphically. Bill has teased us un
mercifully about high tide erasing
Milford from the union. On every
occasion he teased us about "Old
Mil-by"! The part that surpris^
them, and everybne else, is how
Milford people get around. It really
has been phenomenal how many
Milfordians we have seen these two
years we have been away from
home.
The evening of January 30th,
Hayes' Uncle Herb Murphy from
Washington, D. C., called us from
San Francisco. He was there on
business. Even though his train
went through Sacramento the fol
lowing day we were still unble to
see him, which was disappointing,
I expected Hayes home from his
five-day Texas mission February 1.
Course, as things go in the Air
Force he didn't get heme the day
expected. I was all dressed up in
jeans, gay red shirt, espadrills.

from the back yard and bringing
them in doors. Company always ar
rives when you're so attired, but
this company was from Delaware,
so naturally I was pleased to see
them, regardless. I recognised the
boy right away as Bill Exley. Bill
is my junior, but nevertheless, I re
membered Mm in high school. He
now lives at 2408 Bartlett street,
Oakland, California. With him was
his attractive wife, Lena.
Like many Califorinans, Bill de
cided that he wanted to leave the
east coast and investigate other
territory. He left home in 1948, said
good-bye to his mother and told
her he had decided to go to Oak
land, where one of his sisters live
(there are 14 children in his family,
which I didn't know before). His
mother expected him to return home
in a few days and said so, but Bill
said, "No, I'm going'." He started
hitch-hiking west and got as far
as D. C., and just couldn't get any
further He returned home just as
his mother knew he would. In
couple of weeks, Mrs. Exley was
told again that her son was going
west. Th»y said good-bye and Bill
was off again, this time he hitch
hiked to . . . you're right. Wash
ington, D. C., and again he was back
in Milford in two days. This didn't'!
defeat Bill, as it would have me.
That would have been a sign to me
that Milford was the place I was
