OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS

American life has gone ahead so
fast, with so many new ideas prov
ing useful, that every community
lacks certain things which it needs
to keep up with the procession. The
towns that see these needs clearly
and take steps to provide for such
lacks, are the ones that go ahead.
Some towns need better schools,
most all need more parks and play
grounds, some need improved bust
ness centers, some need better kept
homes, etc. There should be some
plan for presenting to the people
each year statement of the things
that their particular town needs and
should have. The Milford Chronicle
will do its share, and much more
than its share, to present the local
needs to the people of Milford or
any community in Kent or Sussex
counties.

HER MANS JOB

There are more women who won

and if he will have steady work, than
there are who let each day take care
of itself, and if the hand that rocks
the cradle is the hand that rules the
world, Herbert Hoover will be the
next President of the United States.
Never before in the history of this
country has a man made such
strong appeal to women, particu-
larIy to mothers. The reason is
plain: Be it ever so humble, Her.

like home in the heart of the Amer
lean and that is why he wants the
home to have much greater indu-

lean life.

(Contributed) Dear Mary Ann:

Dear Mary Ann:
 Nothing much to write you except to tell how I'm getting along with the saxophone which I bought for $1l.06. on easy terms, including a booklet with free directions for use. The booklet stated that if I prac- tised faithfully I'd soon be able to play most anything on the sax ex- cept checkers and be as popular as rich bachelor at an old maids pie nic and would get invited out to the best families. q guess I'm more liable to get thrown out. instead of invited out.)

 It seems like the notes didn't know which had the right of way as some came in before scheduled, or a little later. This sorta ruined the effects of the high and low notes. not to mention those in be- tween. But maybe 1t was on &C., count of me keeping time with both feet and when I absentmind. edly crossed my legs like a pair of scissors 1t confused my thinking. Sometimes I'd miss a couple of notes and while going back for them I'd forget where they was and then me and the sax would hafta start all over again. Later I got sos when I missed any notes I'd keep right on playing as though I hadn't noticed them. From then on l got along fine.

MIND CULTIVATION GENERATIONS GOAL
Boys, Girls and Adults Worship
 at Temple of Knowledge

Many people have expressed the opinion that this country is over-ed ucated and although there is a mo- ticeable increase in the number o. elementary, junior and high school graduates who are seeking further education there is q question wheth- CT or not the country has reached it's height.
 When each member of last Junc's graduation class at the Senior High school was asked to express himself relative to his future plans after graduation the realization was brought home to the public that the young people of the present day do not expend their desire for further education even at high school gradu- ation. The greatest percentage of pupils to seek education in colleges and other schools of high education in the history of the school was in cluded in that class. The number of girls going to Normal school show. ed an increase and those who in tended to study for the nurses pro- fession and other positions that re- uuired further study showed an up- ward trend.
 In the face of all this desire for further education the question arises What will happen to the profess sions? Will they be overcrowded? ?' Many are now claiming the law pro- Ifession is overcrowded, but the re- sponse to this is that a good lawye, will make his mark regardless o' competitors.
 In the medical profession several New Britain doctors are studying further and have come back 10 this city as specialists in one line or an- other.
 The desire for moro knowledge has taken possession of many of the younger people who have already entered upon careers. Many of then give up their positions and go te the universities for special work two or three years after leaving higl school,
 Of great aid to boys and girls i: the great number of athletic schol arships and club scholarships whicf are being awarded to high schoo graduates. Through this means, th' students are given an opportInit for education which they would no be able to afford.
