BRESSLER RESIGNS AS CITY
MANAGER
City Manager Harry Bressler has resign
ed as City Manager of the City of Milford.
The resignation becomes effective November
1st. As is to be expected the announce
ment of his resignation has brought forth
expressions of pleasure and regret. Those
who approve of his administration are sorry
while those critical of the handling of city
affairs are happy. When he leaves in October
% will be the second time that he has quit as
City Manager here. The first resignation
was presented at the time he accepted a sim
ilar position at Rehoboth.
With Mr. Bressler's resignation, City
Council is confronted with the necessity of
employing a competent man for City Man
ager. This will not be an easy job. Good
men are hard to find urfBer the best of cir
cumstances. Many qualified men will not
accept the abuse and criticism which goes
with the job. For some time past we have
wondere d whether Milford is operating un
der a true City Manager form of govern
men t. The writer was active in assisting to
secure the passage of necessary legislation
through the Legislature which gave Milford
t he City Manager form of government. This
several years ago. Qur understanding
at that time was that Cfty Council should
set up specified duties, not already incor
porated in the Charter, for the guidance of
the City Manager. The entire operational
responsibility for running the City was to
be banded over to him and he was to do the
J° b without interference from the Mayor or
City Council. If our understanding is wrong,
then there are man y res idents in Milford
who b »ve a mistaken idea of the City Man

Gloucester, Mass., August 14 — Y
am glad to be here in dear old
Gloucester, Mass., for another
summer. Let me testify that it
has a most healthful and efficient
climate. It combines cool sum
mers and mild winters in a most
remarkable way.
Efficiency Demands Changeable
Climates
From some of the 400 cities in
which this column will be pub
lished I will have letters from
their Chambers of Commerce to
provè that their commuinty is a
milder and more pleasant place to
live. This may be true, but such 1
"pleasant" climates do not develop j
ruggedness and that "drive" which
is so dominant in New England, j
Furthermore, I am not comparing j
New England on the basis of na- ;
tnral resources. We have no oil,
or natural gas, or coal; we have
no broad acres of fertile lands; 1
we have no mines of iron, copper,
or other minerals. We have noth
ing but rocks, woodlands, brains,
and energy.
New England does have a cli
mate which develops courage, in
itiative, and "drive." Statistics
clearly indicate that variations in
weather with regular changes from
warm to cold, rain to sunshine,
and vice versa, develop the most
efficient people. Any Chamber of
Commerce official who doubts this
should read the books and reports
of Ellsworth Huntington before
criticizing this article. Every city,
however, has some outstanding ad
vantage which, if properly capi
talized, should cause it to •grow
and prosper. But God gives to no
community all the advantages, na
tural resources, river communica
tions. fertile soil, and good cli
mate.

risen "above party lines'', he had
made a good start. "The Executive

said, "have worked with patience

the late Senator Taft, the Presi
dent gave large credit for the
"bright beginnings that are clear
for all to see to the Senator's
"courage, integrity and selfless
cooperation."
He mentioned also that he had
been working on labor law recom
mendations for the next session
of Congress. But he did refer to the
19 point draft of recommeftdations
for Taft-Hartley Act revisions that ;
was sent, a few days before ad- ;
journment, to the chairmen of the
House and Senate I>ahor Com- ]
„.ittees. They were also advised
that the message would he pre-j

the recommendations were with

order that the various changes

There are those who say these
19 Taft-Hartley revisions ' would
amount to repeal of the law. And
there are those who say that they
are largely the handiwork of the
shy (but not retiring) Labor Secre-;
tary Martin P. Durkin, who failed
i rather conspicuously to/give the
| benefit of his counsel and experi
| ence to the committees of both
| houses during their weeks of hear
ings.
In any case, we suspect that you,
j
convert at least a portion of ;
the cloud to ice crystals. Un- j
der appropriate conditions 1
such seeding Will release var
iable amounts of precipitation
from fairly deep and active j
cumulus clouds. Small, inac -1
tive cumulus clouds are usu
ally dissipated when they are
seeded with dry ice.
2. The injection of small water
drops or salt particles into the
bases of deep, warm (non-su
percooled) cumulus clouds will
usually release variable
amounts of rain if the vertical
velocities in the clouds are
substantial. Small, inactive,
cumulus clouds may often be
partially or completely dissi
paled by seeding th em from
SCÄ '
rain ai\\a>s loiiows.
3. Present knowledge of atmos
pheric processes offers no ba
sis for the belief that the wea
ther or climate of a large por
tion of the nation can be modi
fled by cloud seeding. The re
suits of experiments which
have been conducted to ex
Plore such large-scale effects
are considered to be inconclu
sive. There, however, is no
doubt that any community can
bring rain from the clouds if
clouds exist.
4. Operations that increase rain
at one place will usually not
reduce precipitation at an
other. Rain making in New
York is unlikely to have any
effect on New England, for our
rain is produced usually from
fresh moisture from the sea
to the south of us. The low
pressure area that is moving
through or north of New York
wili cause southerly winds
there, and precipitation from
them. The same low moving
through or north of New Eng
land will have a new batch
of southerly air to work with.

ers und frmt growers know there
are times when millions could be
saved by retarding growth so that
too much of one crop will not come
on the market at one time. Por
thermore, fruit crops are often lost

prevented before long by the use

Perhaps the most remarkable
possible development is coming in
the use of sprays to kill insects

who is spraying his trees with
electronic
chemical sprays. These waves, he
claims, both save him money and
do pot harm the fruit, birds, or bees
which are so necessary for good
gardens and fruit orchards. I look

that the rate of change is ra

course of the usual variability

IN THE AIR FORCE
By Elain* Townsend Dickerson

3518 Mayo
Topeka, Kans.
August 10, 1953
Dear Friends:
Each state presents something
entirely different from the next,
and yet you can always find some
thing identical about all these
United States. For instance when
we were in California I bought a
d'-ess! I was quite shocked to go
to the Officer's Wives luncheon one
day and find my dress there on
someone else so I thought, "Well,
I can wear it at home, in Delaware.'' |
First time I was in Reboboth I saw
that dress-the color had changed,
but it was my dress, and, if I didn't
see it downtown in Topeka the
other day! Those manufacturers
sure cover territory. '
Something different here is the
way they deliver our paper in the
morning. If it rains here they don't
have to make sure the paper lands
on the porch. Rainy mornings our
papers are delivered to us in oil
skin, waxed papers, something new
to m ®
Last week I registered Lynne in
school in Kansas and after she had
had her eyes checked etc. they
handed me a sheet of paper with a
list of supplies she would need and
heading the list were her text books,
In Kansas you buy their text books.
I am not used to that either.
Something we like getting used
to is buying gas so cheap. They
are having a gas war in Topeka,
Regular gas is 20.9 cents and high
test is 22.9. Been a long time since
we've »seen prices like that.
Something I don't believe I ever
could get used to would be having
my husband in jail. He was. His
first day he reported to work on the
base, they put him in the guard
house two different times. Strategic
Air Command is all out for security
and to test Forbes security, Hayes'
C. O. (Commanding Officer) asked
him to try to put an imaginary
bomb on the planes at the flight
line (where all the planes are kept),
It just didn't work and two times
they, the A. P.'s (Air Police) put
Hayes in their patrol wagon and
carted him off to the place behind
bars. He had a letter from the Colo
