WALTER L. MAIN CIRCUS
is COMING TO MILFORD

With the arrival in Milford of ]. c.
Admire, contracting agent of the
Walter L. Main circus, arrangements
have been completed with city Off
cials and local merchants for the pa
rade and exhibitions of this old-time
favorite in Milford on Thursday, Sep
tember %.
Mr.. Admire carries letters from
Chamber of Commerce organizations.
Mayor and City Clerks of various
cities where the show has exhibited
this season, endorsing the entertain
ment offered, and commenting on
high-class personnel of the organiza-
ton; in many instances, welcoming
the show back at it's earliest con-
, venience.
He is very emphatic in his denial
that circus parades have been aban-
doned, and claims that while one cir
Gus is too stingy to give a street pa
Tade, his managers have taken the
opposite view and have increased the
street pageant of the Walter L.
Main circus until now it is the larg-
est one in existence; they figure the
parade is the show window of the
exhibition, with exactly the same OBJ
ject in view that causes a merchant
to display his wares; another OBJ
ject of the parade is to give joy to
many poor children whose only
glimpse of the worlds wonders is
the time-honored circus procession;
all dens and cages are wide open, so
that all may see the many animals
from every cline; five brass bands
dispense real music, along with the
largest steam calliope ever construc-
ted, while twenty clown fsurnish the
comedy.
At the circus grounds, after the
parade, the visitors are entertained,
while waiting for the doors to open
at 1 o'clock, after which, an inspec-
ton of the menagerie is in order;
practically every known jungle ami
NAL is represented, also many deni-
zens of the Arctic regions, the entire
collection of 563 beasts being a COM
plete education in animal-land. At |
2 p. m. and p. M, the performances |
start and from the opening spectacle |
to the closing overture, the air, the |
rings and the track are filled with
acrobats, aerialists, clowns and per- |
forming animals of all kinds, accom-
panied by the best band in circus
dom.
Mr.. Admire informs us the Walter
L. Main circus is the only large or
ganization booked into this territory
this season; also there are none
within forty miles of this
city, and that his show will posi-
lively parade and exhibit here on the
late above mentioned, whether rain
or shine. The parade is at II a. m.

VILLAGE PLANNING BIG
FACTOR IN COMMUNITY LIFE

City planning as practiced in
, metropolitan centers has it's coun-
terpart in the development of will
ages that serve as social and trade
centers for farming communities.
The automobile affords the farmer
wider range of choice in selecting
his recreation and in selling his
products and buying supplies. Some
of the elements of good physical
makeup of towns and villages, ac-
cording to Wayne G. Mason, of the
Division of Farm Population and
Rural Life of the Department of
Agriculture, are convenient and
pleasing exits and entrances, broad
tree-lined streets, a common or viii
lage green as a civic center, park
and playground space, sanitation,
good architecture in private dwell
ings, as well as in public buildings,
which should be conveniently To-
Gated, and all set back from the
streets and surrounded with ample
lawns and clean and attractive
borders. Villages that do not min
lister to the needs of the farming
communities are likely to complain
of the drift to the cities and of
ruinous competition. Villages that
are attractive, as well as service
able, also profit from the ever-in-
army of summer tourists.
Preventive planning which fore !
sees and prevents expensive mis- |
-akes in building, is recommended to
village communities.

AUTO COURTESY NEEDED

The United States leads the world
in automobile fatalities. In fact,
over 80 per cent of the worlds auto
fatalities occur right here in motor
lied America. Over $4,000 deaths
in this country in 1926 were due to
auto accidents, to say nothing of
thousands who were injured, per-
haps for life. Some experts who
have gone deeply into the subject
blame much of it on bootleggers
and bootleggers' wares. others
give various excuses, only a few of
which hold water.
A large part of this terribly high
rate is traceable to the lack of
courtesy on the road.
The great majority of auto drivers
forget that there is such a word as
courtesy once they are behind the
wheel. This lack of courtesy is al
