INFORMATION SERVICES

One of the principal functions of
a Chamber of Commerce OF any or
ganization of that type, is to furnish
information to prospective residents,
business concerns, or visitors. If
that function is well performed in
community, the chances of growth
and development are greatly i'm
proved.
People sometimes complain be-
cause they do not see on the sur
face more results from the work of
these organizations. But if people
keep on giving a cordial response
to all who apply to them for infor-
nation and help, it is almost newt
able that important results should
follow.
Those who are not connected with
such organizations would be sur
prised to see how many letters and
calls they. receive from people who
want information or help of some
kind relative to the community
where the organization is located.
Strangers write in from near and
far, making inquiries as to buying
or renting homes in the place, also
relative to business opportunities.
They inquire about schools, chances
for employment, business conditions,
taxes, social life, churches, clubs,
etc. They want to find out whether
the place is desirable for residence
or business.
Now if there is no organization in
city responding promptly and in
diligently to such appeals, that
town looks Indifferent and slow.
But if there is local organization
which responds to such requests in
a discriminating way, a very favor
able impression is created. A
chance is given to persuade people
to locate in that place.
1t may be discouraging work to
respond to all these requests, since
so many of them never amount to
But many of them do
take effect. The carefully written
letter, or the cordial personal inter-
view, prove a powerful force in
helping people to decide where they
shall locate.

THE NEWSPAPER APPEAL

One reason why newspaper adver-
Using has reached such a tremend.
GUS power in the business world, is
that the newspaper furnishes such
a universal form of appeal.
Almost all the rest of our inter
ests are partial. One set of people
are interested in one thing, a second
set are interested in something else,
and third set in some quite differ
ent activity. If you attempted to
reach people through these methods
with any kind of message, you
would usually find that you were
touching only a part of them.
The newspaper hits practically
everyone. Practically every family
which can read, reads newspapers.
And most of the folks in each fam
lily, excluding only the small child
rem, and people who are sick or who
have lost their eyesight, read the
papers. The proportion of the peo-
pie who fail to form impressions
from these newspapers is small.
In some forms of advertising, you
have to use many mediums in order |
to reach all the people. But a con-
Germ can go into local community
and get all the reading public by
notice in the local news
paper or newspapers.
The local business man who uses
newspaper advertising, thus has
marvellous means of getting his
story before the people. His adver-
Using is going to be read by the
people who are interested in the
inc of goods which he sells, and
hey will read his announcements
because nothing else in the paper
interests them more.
The lady who contemplates buy
ng a spring hat, for instance, feels
much more interested in that hat [
han she does in crimes and disas-
ers and politics. Any store or mil :
liner who advertises hats, gets her ]
lose attention. She wants to read {
very word that that advertiser says t
bout those hats. If there is a t
etter, more efficient, and less ex- /
ensive way to interest people in
ny line of goods, it has not yet
cen discovered. !.

MOVING TINE

In these times people move
around more than formerly, and the
family which has not pulled up
stakes several times is rather for
tunate. 1t is about the hardest
work there is in the world, since
people never realize how many be-
1ongings they have accumulated
until it comes to getting them out
of house.
Modern furniture movers are ex-
tremely skilful, and they have a
way of coming into a home and in
an amazingly short time getting ev-
erything expertly packed into their
vans. But the trouble for the fam
fly comes when all these things
have to be nnpacked and located,
and then it is that peoples tempers
become frayed.
In former years when people had
larger houses and would often live
many years in a place, they used to
hoard enormous quantities of stuff,
much of it mere useless truck, and |
sorting over these accumulations in
for moving was a back |
job. In these days people
10 not hoard old stuff as they used
%. If a thing has value, but they
amt use it, the thing to do is to
Ldvertise it for sale and get rid of
t. If it has no value, the quicker
t is thrown away the less trouble
t makes. Perhaps it is just as well,
hat moving is a ack-breaking job.
| great many people move when
hey would be better off to stay
light where they were.

certainly is far from even modern
direction or any form. The duties
of police force has been summed
up by one who was at one time man
ager of police force in a city in
New England of about five thousand
population, in an address made to
the force of five men, a part of
which follows:
THE duty of the police depart
ment is to enforce the law. If it
fails to do so, it is derelict. Pri-
marily every member of the depart
! ment should be required to acquaint
| himself with the laws as far as they
concern his work. Where it is nee
essary statutes that do not seem
clear should be explained. Every
man should know all about the or
ganization of the department and
just what his responsibility is to
his superiors and to the public. AS
Stunning that there is no lack of ca
pability, it should not be difficult
for each man, thus fortified, to know
what is expected of him. With an
honest determination to do what
policeman ought to do, harmonious
relations and cooperation between
officers and men should produce a
maximum of results"
We have noticed the lack of po-
lice service, either for protection
against crime, or general welfare of
the community.
l am much pleased with Milford
as a whole and hope to become
citizen of Delaware, and do not wish
to be understood as registering dis
satisfaction with the conditions as l |
have seen them in and about Mil |
ford, but give the impressions of a |
family man who would help to up |
lift the community in every way
possible. If anything 1 have wrote

There is one department in Mil
ford civic affairs which is giving

my standpoint and experience in
other places, and that is the light
and water service. You certainly
have excellent water and in abund-
ance, while the light is above many
towns, especially in the Delmarvia

elled with a critical eye.

of that part of Delaware in which

DOVER AUTO SHOW

Judging by the number of requests
being received for space, Dover's
first annual auto show bids fair to
be a very successful event. Each
day new requests for space are being
received by the committee in charge
of the event which will open in the
Dover Armory on March 18th and
continue for the balance of that
week.
Automobiles of every size and de-
scription will be on exhibition, as
well as number of appliances that
are designed to make motoring
more pleasant and easy operation.
The committee is rapidly complet-
ing the final plans for the affair. A
beautiful decorating scheme has
been provided for the Armory and
an orchestra has been engaged to
furnish music each evening.
According to the advance informa-
ton given out by the automobile
dealers, many new designs of cars
will be on display during the week
and these new models will show
some attractive changes.
Nothing is being left undone by
those in charge of the affair to make
it a success from every viewpoint,
and the splendid cooperation they
have received from the various
dealers has greatly helped them with
their work.

MILFORD, FRIDAY, MAR. 8, 1929
MR.. COOLIDGE IN HISTORY

The place which a presidential
administration is to occupy in his
tory is never determinable at the
date when that administration
closes. Peoples personal feelings
and party passion run too high for a
just estimate at that time. So we
can none of us say today how the
impartial historian will look at the
work of the Coolidge administration
fifty years from this date.
According to one point of view,
Mr.. Coolidge is man of somewhat
commonplace ability, who was lifted
to his recent situation by a set of
accidental circumstances, and who
has not succeeded in influencing the
proceedings of Congress successful
~, and who does not stand for any
special advancement in American
life.
The opposite point of view holds
that as the result of very studious
nature, long political experience,
and a canny political instinct, he
has made himself an unusually pop
ular president, and has given the
country an administration marked
by a great advance in prosperity,
increased efficiency in government,
and improved relations with foreign
countries.
without entering into any dis
cussion at this time as to which
view comes nearer being correct, it |
is generally agreed that he has done
his best to save money for the tax
payers, and give the country an
honest administration of public af-
fairs.
Whatever our view of him per-
we all wish him a happy
life in the quiet retirement which
ne has sought, and have no doubt
hat plenty of chances for useful
md remunerative work will open
o him. The views of any former
are interesting and i'm
,ortant. The people will always
listen attentively when Mr.. Coolidge 1
peaks.

THE PRESIDENTIAL TERM

The suggestion is often made,
particularly at the close of presi-
Dental term, that the constitution
should be so amended that a presi-
dent would be elected for six in
stead of four years, and then that
he should be ineligible for re-elec-
ton.
1t is argued that a president does
not get a chance in four years to
fully work out his policy, also that
presidents would be more independ-
ent, and in position to serve the
people with greater freedom from
undesirable influences, if they were
given six year term. Also that
presidents would not be tempted to
make political moves to secure re-
election, if they knew that they
had to retire finally at the end of
their terms.
So far such plan has never got
ten any great amount of support.
The people would be too fearful of
the results, if they sometime got
president who was poorly qualified
and who was getting the country
into serious difficulties through his
errors. Six years of such a presi-
dent would seem an interminably
long time.
The difficulties in the way of a
candidate are so enor-
nous, that it rarely happens that we
get a man in that Office who can be
called a complete failure. Most of
them have been able men, though
often not the ablest in the country.
Yet many of them have failed to
measure up to the high standard
which the people expect of them,
and any new president is more or
less of an experiment.
The demands made upon the Of
ice are so tremendous and overpow-
ering, that man who had done very
we'll in some lesser position might
De a good deal of failure as presi-
lent The American people do not |
lare take chances for any six years.
But if a man has done well four
'ears, they would always want the
nance to ask him to take second |

MANY PEOPLE, when asked to
take some office or committee posi-
ton in a local organization, or per-
form some kind of public service,
will say they have no time. Yet
they have "a hours a day, just the
same as the rest Of us.
The people who work at these
public causes do not usually have
to sacrifice any great part of their
time. If people are only willing to
give up few out of the 1913 hours
in each week, they can do all the
work necessary to make these pub
lie enterprises a thorough success.
And in return, they get many re-
wards. If they are in business, the
time put in is the most profitable
time they have, because it gives
them wide circles of friends who
help them in their occupation here
in Delaware.

TWO KINDS OF ALIENS

The United States has taken in {
vast number of foreign born people
for many years. Although inmigra,
ton is now supposed to be strictly
regulated, constant stream of il
legal immigrants are slipping across
our borders, and they are being
smugg1ed in by water. We thus
have two distinct types of alien resi-
dents among us.
Some of us become very much
alarmed about the activities and
characters of the alien population,
and note that an unduly large num-
Der of criminals and 1awbreakers
are aliens.
1t is noticeable, however, that a
great many recent corners are ,ex-
tremely hard workers. They get up
early in the morning, they work
late at night, they will work Sun
days unless their places are closed
up. They are thrifty, struggling
with all their might to get ahead,
and they make no trouble for any
body. Men and women of that kind
are adding to the wealth of the
country. Those who have good jobs
and little businesses of their own,
are not going to risk their chances
much with law violations.
Men and women of that type are
to be honored, and given all possible
to improve them
selves and obtain education for
their children. But those aliens
who come in here and proceed to
get money by breaking our laws,
need drastic treatment. They have
been too tenderly handled a great
leal of the time.
If they come to this country to
AXE advantage of its opportunities,
hey should be willing to abide by
he laws and principles that create
hese opportunities. If they are not
Wiling to do so, they should be de-
lorted to the country where they
anne from, so quickly that any of
heir friends who feel inclined to {
read the same path will decide to /
e good.

Some people seem to think that
the way to exercise thrift is to buy
a lot of things dollar down and a
dollar a week.
