FELLOWSHIP CLASS
AT COLCHESTER

Last Tuesday some of the mem
bership of the Fellowship Glass with
other friends, went to COLCHESTER
Beach. The day was ideal and the
party left Milford about a. M, ar
irving at 10 a. m. At that time the
park was quiet, but quickly the man
agement opened up the amusements,
and even the waves of the Chesa-
peake seemed to swell a little more.
The needs Of the party had been ar
ranged for several days before the
visit, and headquarters were quickly
located, and the fun began. The pic
mic dinner came first, and then
series of photographs were taken;
especially striking were the bathing
period poses. AS a compliment from
the management of the park, who
was well acquainted with Mrs. Mel
son Stevens of Milford, who was the
hostess of the party, the use of the
amusements were absolutely free to
the Fellowship Class and their
friends.
All together delightful day was
spent at COLCHESTER and in driving
across our Delaware and through a
fine part of Maryland. While the
beautiful farms gave thrill and in
spired desire to tell folks at home
of the beautiful farm scenes so
pleasing to look upon in Maryland;
yet, when we got back into Della
ware, there was patriotic warmth
for our smooth wide roads with
their sweeping curves, and a pride
that the corn and pastures of Della
ware were just a bit more green,
and silently thanked the Lord for
our own dear Delaware.
Those in the party were Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles H. Abbott, Mr.. and
Mrs. Milo Farber, Mr.. and Mrs.
Ward, Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Fisher,
Mrs. Annie Atkins, Miss Mary Rey-
nolds, DR.. Anna Gregorius, Mrs.
Henry Ingram, Mrs. J. c. Hall, Mrs.
Allen Vineyard, Mrs. Roy Cannon,
Mrs. Nelson Stevens, Mrs. Bethuel
Mills, Mrs. Jane Anderson, Mrs.
Earl Atkins and daughter, Mrs.
Elizabeth Allen and John Peet.

THE PERFECT SALESMAN

The personality Of salespeople has
a great deal to do with the success
of business. Some people try very
hard to sell goods, and yet somehow
do not succeed very well. They may
lack some element of personality
that goes into making an effective
salesperson.
Advertising might well be called
the perfect salesman, because
truthful advertisement never offends
people or creates prejudice. If you
simply tell the facts about your
goods, people are always pleased to
know them, and they are not Of
Tended because some salesperson
talked too much or too little. People
come to a well advertised store pre-
pared in advance to like the goods,
and the salespeople do not have to
spend time arguing, and it is easier
to make sales from such store.
Milford chronicle., 1928-08-03
BACKING UP PROGRESS
MOVEMENTS

A few people usually do most of
the work of pushing communities
ahead and getting public work done.
But those few people need a lot of
hackers, many of whom do not do
any active work. But their person
al interest counts heavily.
People often say that it amounts
to nothing to attend some public
gathering called to promote some
new movement or organization work.
But it is almost impossible to run
these public affairs, unless such
meetings are we'll attended.
In many places organizations like
the Chambers of Commerce have
been partial failures, because the
people would not attend the meet
ings. The slack attendance indicat-
ed a lack of public interest that was
extremely discouraging. The officers
would argue that the people were
not supporting their efforts, and
they would not feel like putting
their time into such labors.
In progressive towns or cities you
find two conditions: First, a good
bunch of aggressive people who will
hold offices in Chambers of Com
merce, improvement societies, drives
for funds for public causes, etc. But
these folks alone can not do the
whole thing. They have to feel the
power of the mass behind them.
The people who do nothing but at
tend such meetings, applauding the
speakers, showing personal inter
est, such ones help far more than
they realize. They give the leading
ones courage to go ahead. Then if
in addition they will go out among
their friends and talk over the work
done and applaud the efforts made,
they are still more valuable. And if
also they are willing to contribute
money, they are wonderful folks.
And if on top of all that, they will
serve on committees and hold Office,
there is no limit to their usefulness,
and they become the leading people
in their community.

REPUTATION THROUGH
ADVERTISING

Two men were recently discussing
the value of the stock Of a certain
corporation. One of them said he
did not think too favorably Of its
value, and thought the company was
not as well established as some he
named.
"But have you seen how that COM
pany is advertising?" was the reply.
"They are reaching out very extern
sively to acquaint the public with
their product. They are making
their goods very widely known, and
that concern is sure to go ahead. I
am going to hold my stock in that
company, as it is sure to become
much more valuable"
You can hear conversations like
that every day in the business world.
The well advertised concern gets a
reputation that the poorly advertis-
ed one finds it extremely difficult to
attain. Bankers would probably be
reader to lend money to the well
advertised one. They would feel
that it is building up day by day
good will that is bound to keep bus
mess coming in good.
This principle applies both to man
ufacturing concerns and to retail
stores. The concern that is con-
stantly advertising, is creating a
permanent good will that keeps
trade coming to it right along. There
is kind of momentum in that trade.
A railroad train with powerful
locomotive will run a long distance
on level ground after the locomotive
has shut off its power, by the force
of momentum acquired when it was
run on full steam. So a well adver-
tised business might quit advertis-
ing entirely for quite a time, and
trade would keep coming in. That
would be a mistaken policy, because
the good will that had been acquir-
ed would gradually be dissipated, but |
it shows that the full returns of adj
vertising are not obtained at once.
They run for long period. J.

FIRESTONE SHOWS THE WAY

The American people ought to
erect a monument to Harvey Fire
stone for his splendid aid in the fight
on the British rubber monopoly. Vic
tory has been won, and Firestone
should reap a large share of the
credit.
And this is not an empty victory.
It is a victory that means many dol
lars in the pocket Of every Ameri-
can. We all ride on air. When tires
are outrageously high we all have
to pay tribute to the alien rubber
kings, whether we own one or more
autos or own none.
Firestone has announced material
reductions in the prices of tires.
Rival tire manufacturers will have
to follow his lead or lose the bust
ness.
Harvey Firestone is the most far
seeing magnate in the tire industry.
He has long insisted that this essen
tial industry should not have to de-
pend on foreign crude rubber and he
has been taking measures to secure
his supply without having to pay
hold-up prices for his raw material.
The American public have too long
been in the habit Of taking anything
that was handed them and paying
any price that was demanded. 1t is
a relief to see men like Firestone
who have the courage to stand up
and say "Halt!" 1t is still greater
satisfaction when such men pass the
results of their economies on to the
people, instead of using them to rcn
up ever bigger profts.-The Path
finder.

A SHOESTRING COMEDY

Well, the Fair is over and the peo-
pie are mostly done threshing so
now we can turn our whole atten-
ton to "polly-ticks." Me and Park
have the roads all in good shape
now and we're going to ride right
through the primary in high gear
with all six a "hittin'," and it won't
be no Waiter Wagon. Business is
getting little dull now, corn is go
ing higher all the time and rye is
out of the question.
Well, 1 went down to the Old

lust as lighted up I heard some
thing cracking brush. went to in
vestigate and walked right up to one
of them "Revinoo" officers. He said,
good evening stranger, do you know
where I could get good drink Of
"licker?" I said No Stree It's so
dry around here that even the bull
frogs have all migrated to the mill
ponds. Well, he looked so disap-
pointed that 1 felt sorry for him,

couldn't take any chances. He says
Mr.. I though I saw light in here,
does anyone live here-abouts? No,
Sir, if you saw a light it was prob
ably caused by gases arising from
the ground, superinduced by de-
composing vegitation, ignited by
spontaneous combustion, causing a
light commonly known as a Jack
o-Lantern," but it "haint" no use to
follow one up as never knew one
to be caught.
He asked me where I was going.
I said possum huntin.' It's out OF
season but I want to break my dog.
He said he'd go along. So 1 harked
Bruno" out and he soon had trail
and a little while was barking to
the tree. We went in there and
sure enough he had a possum up a
"Simmon" tree right on the bank of
the old cow marsh ditch. I told him
to hold the dog and I'd go up and
shake him out. Well, he sat down
bull frog fashion, and took hold the
dogs collar with both hands, and
when I gave shake, the dog lung
ed forward and snatched him head
first right into the old "swimmin' "
hole. come down and pulled him
out and he said something that
sounded like Dam possum huntin'
and left. Well, he may have been
a dry agent when he come" but he
sure was wet when he left. I sat
down under the tree to mediate; as
I saw in the papers that all the dry
Democrats were going over to Hoo
yer, it made me feel so sad that I
almost wept, and think that was
justifiable in taking little stimu-
liant to revive my depressed spirits,
so took a good long swig Of white
Mule" and soon felt so patriotic
that I jumped up and threw my hat
and holler'd HUI Rah for the "You-
nited" States. An owl setting up
the tree said, can Hoo Hoo Hoover"
and I said "My gosh" if the birds
are even going for him it ''haint" no
use for the vets and Catholics to
fight him.

thing encouraging, please let me

WADING POOLS MAY
DISPLACE SAND PILES

A wading pool for the juvenile
members of the family may displace
the time honored sand pile Of an
other day, according to the garden
editor of the Woman's Home Com
panion.
Pointing out that such pools now
can be built at cost as low as
SLIGO, the writer quotes one mother
who declares that such an addition
to a child's playground will help
make "his own back yard the most
attractive spot imaginable" The
pool built at a cost of $11.60 called
for use of only four sacks of ce-
ment, one dollars worth Of sand
taken from the old sand pile which
then was forgotten-and a small
supply of lumber.
"The pool became the dearest
playground of every child in the
neighborhood," says the writer, de-
scribing one such juvenile play
place. Here they waded and
splashed. They carried water in
small dishes and pals to make end
less mud pies, thus satisfying the
craving that every child has. to play
in the water.

UNITED BUSINESS EFFORTS

To promote the development of
trade in city, two lines of effort
are necessary. Each concern must
work for its own progress, it needs
to be efficient in buying and selling
and advertising, and conducting its
business in accordance with the
most modern trade ideas.
But there is limit to what a
firm can accomplish individually.
There has to be some kind Of a
movement formed by the union of all
or most Of the business people, to
promote the trade Of the city as a
whole. United policies of advertise
ing, promoting, and pushing need to
be adopted. The business men must
work together heartily to make any
large progress.

MILFORD, FRIDAY, AUG. 9, 1928

THERE IS urgent demand that a
branch Office of the Children's Bur-
eau of Delaware, now operating
from 91S Tatnal Street, Wilmington,
be established in lower Delaware.
Formerly the Society For Proven
ton of Cruelty to Children, handled
many cases where children were
helped and parents compelled to
support children in at least humane
semblance of decency. When the
State consolidated several eleemosy-
nary institutions in one group, such
as feeble-minded, county and vari-
GUS state institutions to care for the
INDECENT and similar organizations,
they were grouped under the title of
The Children's Bureau of Delaware,
with its Office in Wilmington. This
seemed to be the efficient way to
conduct the work; but, experience
has shown to even the casual inter-
est of people, that it is almost an
impossibility to reach a very con-
siderable number of cases, where
children need protection from par
ents or those who stand in parental
relation and in charge of them. Such
cases are widely scattered and when
evidence is brought to those sympa-
thetic, no person knows just where
to reach an official or an officer to
take hold of the situation. The lack
of personal interest permits the con-
ditions to exist, while the cancer Of
disease and lawless disregard of the
rights of children to be given a
chance, closes over the situation.
At present it is lack of information
as to how and where to reach the
proper officials to handle the case,
and not the desire to remedy trou-
BILE and prevent cruelty to children,
that needs to be corrected. Milford
is a central point for both Kent and
Sussex at which to establish
branch Office of the Children's Bur-
eau of Delaware, and we ask that
the people Of these two counties
take notice of this important need
to help the children of lower Della
ware.
