Officials of the village of Waldeck,
Prussia, are threatened with impeach-
ment, This because they rejuvenated a
nineteenth century town ordinance
which decreed that in cases of neces-
sty every ablebodied man could be
drafted for road dragging service.
notice to this effect was sent to
every man in town fro@ the bank pres
ident to the stations master, because
the roads had been neglected to such
an extent by lack of funds that they
were we'll nigh impossible. Men in
positions of trust" as the village doc
tor and the station master refused to
leave their jobs. They obtained an
injunction against the mayor and other
officials on the ground that they had
no right to enforce an antiquated or
dinance.

week last year the enrolment was
slightly over 400.

No town knows the value of fire
fighting equipment better than
Greenwood; that thriving town just
south of the Kent county boundary
line, in Sussex county. 1t has been

but it has returned to build and sup

result of real success. More power to

Now they are asking public sup
port for their volunteer fire COM
pany-and it should not be, and will
not be, withheld.
The firemen have started their
third annual carnival, to afford
amusement for the people, but main

for new fire house and community
building to house their fire engine
and equipment, and protect the prop
erty of Greenwood and surrounding
country, should it be needed.
The firemen have asked the Mil
ford Chronicle to help them with
publicity and the Chronicle will not
fall down on the job. 1t is a pleas

carnival at every opportunity during
it's continuance, from July End to

MILFORD COMMUNITY BUILDING
HAS CALLED FOR PAYMENT
This Is One Public Building All Are
Interested In And Should Support

The building of the splendid COM
munity building was accomplished
by the generous support through
subscriptions, by the people of Mil
ford and surrounding country. 1t is
a fine monument to the foresight OF
those who planned it and carried the
plans to completion. Now it is the
duty and responsibility of those who
pledged themselves to contribute to
the building fund, to respond to the
call of the treasurer for the semi
annual payment of the amount Pied
ged.
The balance to be paid on the
building, which cost about $4,000 to
complete, totals at June Both, 1926
including interest, $4,000.
Notices have been sent out this
week to those who are pledged in
fixed amounts, which total the sum
of S8,S87.7O, and it is with this mon
ey. which must be paid in by the
first of July, that the treasurer OF
the community building will pay the
interest then due and reduce the in
debtedness as far as possible.
There is just one building which
the people of Milford can take pride
in having available for public at-
fairs, which requires setting in the
best sanitary and most comfortable
surroundings, and that building IS
the community building in which IS
housed a modern and efficient fire
oroanization. which protects the
property of all the people, without
charge or hope Of reward; other
than that the people will all have
a pride in possession and willingly
Ray for, cheerfully, when called up
on.
Every dollar of the SS,SS77O
should be in the treasurer's bank ac-
count by the first of July. Do not
overlook the statement when it
reaches your desk, but Immediately
write the check and forward it by
the next mail.
