THOSE WHO DO THE WORK IN
MILFORD

8 of the public work. 1t becomes Gus
tomary to crowd things on them, an
when people want anything done i
some movement or organization
they beg and implore these alread
! overburdened folks to take on thi
new activity.
Meanwhile the great majority Q
the people do not give much of an
time to public service. If more o
them would be willing to work il
the various organizations, these so
cieties could accomplish more TO
their community. People are TOT
modest about their ability to serve
in such ways, and too stingy of time
and energy. When people cOntri.
butte their personal effort in such
ways, they are rewarded by new as
sociations that are helpful to them
in their business and their jobs, and
they become more competent and
able to do important work. Milford
needs the services of many people
who live here, but shirk any public
service duty. Is it cowardice on the
part of the men and women of Mil
ford? Or, is it just down right lazi-
ness? Lets make new era for Mil
ford. It can be done.

MANY YOUNG PEOPLE come out
of schools and colleges who are
very much lost for a time in re-
gard to choice of occupation. They
have acquired a lot of general Gull
ture, but they have little idea of
how they want to earn living.
Business men and educators adj
wise these young folks to decide as
soon as they can what they want |
TO do in life, and make their educa-
lion prepare them for such work 50
far as they can. Students who eX-
pect to graduate next summer. |
should by this time have their flu
.ure course rather clearly in mind,
md should have taken some steps /
for the thing they will
10 next.
The aimless young graduate,
at sea as to what he or
she is going to do, is a somewhat
Iitiable object If the families of
iuch one have money, they may
)e able to take time to look around.
But the majority of them can not
Lfford these periods of INDIGESTION,
md they should have been shaping
heir studies to a considerable ex-
ent to fit the occupation which they
xpect to enter.
Student life is very absorbing,
nth its many pleasures and activi-
les, and some confident young
1lks do not believe in looking
head and worrying about tOmor-
owls troubles. Some students cross
% many bridges before they come
} them. But those who have clear
, in mind the line they wish to
Ike up, can find many opportuni-
es while still in school to prepare 1
lie way to enter the new path.
A young person may be well q
lucated, with diploma proving Il
lie work done in higher branches. u
ut such students often look very g
'lpless when put to work in some p
actical job. The student who has o
ought out the next step, and pre- u
red for it as well as possible, is "
UGH better qualified to make the p
arp break between student life
d the working world. u
