Xmas Clubs Of Harrington Pay
$3O,OOO-Clubs at Both Banks.
Residents of Harrington who took
out savings fund cards fifty weeks
ago are now reaping their reward.
The Christmas Savings Clubs are
conducted by the Peoples Bank and
the First National Bank of this
town. The clubs have been in op-
Grafton for the past three years.
This year the club members re-
ceived $27,762.09. Every year the
number of members joining the
club increases. According to S. l..
Sapp, president of the Peoples
Bank, in 1924 they paid out $7,164.-
50, while this year they show a gain
of $4,000 over the first year, which
is an indication that the savings
clubs are popular. Figures from
the First National Bank are not
available, but their increase is
equally as great as the Peoples
Bank. 1t is estimated that some
over fifty per cent of this amount
is spent in the community for
Christmas cheer or to square up
some special fund, while it is
thought many of the members be-
come bank depositors. Both banks
have already mailed out their
checks and the club members are
doing their Christmas shopping.
The Christmas club idea is becom-
ing so popular this year that many
who have never taken out a card
before will begin this year.

which she followed by giving a dem

brought quite a collection of pot
terry, describing each piece in de-

most likely be taken up later.

But to do the things that must
be done if the community is to
progress along desirable lines Of
commercial, industrial and residen-
tial expansion and betterment,
there must be no diminution of that
spirit of cooperation and willing eff
fort on the part of a considerable
number of citizens which has been
manifested in all its past accom-
plishments.
And just as men and women of
vision and civic consciousness have
always been available in the past,
so will they come to the service of
the community in future hours of
need.

for the merchants of Milford to pro-
vide one large store like the one
adjoining the Plaza Theatre, and fill
it with toys for the holiday trade.
Then advertise the store as a COM
munity speciality, in which all the
merchants of Milford are directly
interested, and advertise that fact
to the entire DelmarYa Peninsula.
1t would require a five-acre field
to park automobiles in for the three
weeks preceding the Christmas holt
days. Such store with it's uncom-
mon and elaborate displays, would
do more to advertise Milford, and
bring a profit to all concerned, as
well as satisfaction to the people
served, than all other efforts made
either collectively or as individuals
in both Maryland and Delaware be-
tween the Chesapeake and Delaware
Bays. That would get justifyable
home town pride for any commun-
ity.
This is no dream, it is a picture
of what will come in the next few
years to Milford, if there are new
stores erected with floor capacity
to meet requirement, and there are
men and women with vim and bust
ness ability to grasp the proposition
with understanding. It's a young
mans job to put across, but ample
money can be found to do it.
1t would be a hardship for mer-
chants to have their stocks, as at
present, destroyed by a great fire,
or other calamity; but, if after such
a catastrophy a plan for larger
store space, large modern windows
and more streets on which to
transact business would be brought
into service, the profits under the
new plan would certainly reimburse
quickly the fire losses, and a pro-
gressive community, in which the
employees would receive fair pay
for their service honestly given, and
the revolution of transacting bust
ness be reduced to a science, would
take pleasure in supporting a home
town such as we have attempted to
draw a picture.
The way to create greater value
and more rentals from property in
Milford, or any other municipality
in agricultural states, is to provide
opportunity for doing business on
large scale, with less cost in opera
ton. Milford and the country sur
it is an ideal spot for
business genius, and those who have
to work out the prob
lens. ANY young man or woman
can create a wonderful success for
themselves, and the community, |
who wills to do it in Milford.
Se@
WHILE MILFORD has much to
boast of as it considers past !
achievements, it would be sheer fol-
ly at this stage of its community
development to rest content with
past laurels and cease striving for
further advancement.
Milford's present high standing
among centers of equal population
has been won by foresight and ag-
gressive policies in the past. This
generation should be just as eager
to assure an enviable future for the
community as were those men of
former generations who often
fought stiff, uphill fight to gain
those things upon which the present ,
prestige rests.
Never before in its history has
Milford been in such good position
to go forward in rapid and sub
stantial development as right now.
1t has all it's pristine attractions

New York. Nov o.--tPNThe New York Daily News says today that the s500,000 gift of Colonel Henry H. Rogers to his daughter, Millicent, when she married Arturo Peralta Ramos on Monday, was in the form of the trust fund from which only interest of s30,0oo annually will go to the young couple.

The reports Of the waiver clause were circulated in connection with the revived rumor that Count Salm Eon Hoogstraeten had received $3oo,oo0 following withdrawal of his suit for separa- ton from Millicent Rogers. Several months previous to the successful divorce action brought by the heiress in Paris.
 Ramos and his wife are scheduled to sail for Chile on their honeym oon tomorrow. They will take with them Peter SalIn, the brides son by her former marriage, Although reports said Ramos on his return would be- come associated with a Wall street brokerage firm, the News. quoting an Argentine newspaper corre- EponAent who is said to have inter- viewed Ramos, says he has an- nounced he and his bride will pro- bably settle in Paris.

Representatives of miners, opera tors and consumers prepared to take apart the hard coal business structure and find out what makes the wheels fail to go round. In the quest for prosperity men high in other trades have been asked to address the conference on the crea- ton of a knitted spirit and the furtherance of sales.
 The aims and thou shalt nots" of the congress were outlined by its permanent chairman. Ralph l.. Weeks, president of, the Interna- tional Correspondence schools, Weeks said, in part:
 We are not here to discuss the errors Of the past-that would be a waste of time.
 We are not here to discuss costs in detail--that subject should b, handled by those in the industry.
 We are not here to indulge in controversy of any kind - that would be injurious.
 "We are not here to foster and encourage an attack on competitive fuels or upon the manufacture Of devices using competitive fuels - that would be unbecoming and un fair.
 we are not here viewing the an thracite industry as a sick patient that would be contrary to the facts and would cause us to appear ridiculous.
 We are here to learn from able speakers what has been done and is being done to bring about CO., operation in other industries, some of them far less favorably situated than the anthracite industry.

The change in educational meth. ods which has come in recent years and the work Of the New Britain i school department to keep pace with
 the trend and with the growing population of the city were empha. sized last evening at the official opening of the new s356,o00 Lincoln school building on Steele street The | opening, which was delayed until I this time in order that it might be made 8 feature of American Educa- | tion Week. was attended by more 1 than 800 persons, who spent the early part of the evening in inspect 1 ing and admiring the building and it's equipment and then gathered in i the fine large auditorium for a brief speaking and musical program. Ralph Wainright, president of the Lincoln school Parents and Teach CTS association, was chairman of the meeting.
 Many people question the ad- visibility of erecting buildings of this character" P. F. King, chair man ot the school board and the first speaker of the evening, said, but as far as is within reason we believe that when buildings are nec- essary we should provide good ones for a thoroughly modern and up-to- date educational program. We must provide as we'll as we can for the children--the future men and woIn- en of the community-and they must have first claim on our expen- ditures." In defense of the school boards expansive building policy. Mir. King declared, We will never get away from school building until the city starts to decay

 'The school departm success is due 10 efficient organization" was the statement made by Joseph NJ. Halloran, chairman of the school ac- commodations committee. He re- called the last three chairmen of the school board, mentioning the late Judge James Roche and MT. King and paying tribute 10 Judge E. r. Gaffney's ''untiring efforts, He and Mr. Holmes made d great team Mr. Holmes, our able, wise, fearless superintendent of schools" He com- mended the patience of the western residents in waiting for the school and said he believed it had been worth waiting for T trust it's name will be an inspiration to the chil- dren," he said in conclusion.

school may I wish great happiness and success in your undertakings" Recalls Crcaky Old Building | Louis w. Young, member of the i school board and a former presi- 1 dent of the Lincoln school parent teacher organization, contrasted last
 nights gathering with the one held three years ago in the second floor l corridor of the old Lincoln street l school with a movable platform for a stage and with the old building creaking so that fear of collapse
 caused a near-panic. The germ of the thought which brought about this building was born at that time,
 he said, and he thanked the city for it's favorable reception of the re- quest. We turned out some good
 citizens from the old school" he
 finished, but with the new one we
 ought to turn out even better"
 T wish you could tell us how we
 can dispose of the old building"
 Superintendent of Schools Stanley II.
 Holmes began, adding that he hoped it would never be necessary to use the Lincoln street structure again.
 We need your interest in school administration and in the districts which have not yet been properly taken care of The policy of the board is a seat for every child, and we hope there will be no more part time schedules.
 This building Is different from many of those in the city. If has q corps of specialists and special rooms for wider training. greater range of interest, making for better citizenship. We believe that the kind of school which the wisest and best parent wants for his child is none too good for any child in New Britain.' He concluded by graduating the parents on hay ing their children under the princi- palship of Miss Elsie N. Miles.
 Mir. Wainright brought the speak ing program to close by remark ing on the change of public opinion toward the school committee and saying he believed the rarent-teach- CT bodies had been the means of bringing parents in closer touch with school problems. The Senior High school orchestra, under the direction 1 Of George B. Matthews, rendered l several selections during the pro- gram, which was concluded with the singing of America" by all present. 1
