PRACTICAL COMMUNITY IDEAS

Some people of a rather extrava7
CANT type, are always asking why
this or that very costly thing which
they have observed elsewhere, can
not be done in their home town. They
see such arrangements in larger cit
les, and feel that their home town
is slow and unprogressive not to
adopt these ideas.
What a town needs is practical
suggestions, things that are within
it's reach and which it can afford.
Let us all keep our minds on this
subject of community improvement
this summer, particularly as we
drive around the country and take
vacations.
Let us observe what cities and
towns like Milford are doing, and
later see if we can not do some of
these things ourselves.

TREE PLANTING

The spring months are considered
in most climates a very favorable
time to plant trees, and it is to be
hoped that the citizens of Delaware
will set out a good number of them
this year. When you plant a tree on
your land, you add to it's beauty and
value, and create an improvement
that is even more permanent than
human life. Your house may decay
and deteriorate during your lifetime,
but the tree which you have set out
will be going strong for many years
after most of us have passed on.
The people of former generations
in many respects were unable to
foresee the future and make ade-
quate plans for the development of
our citise and towns. But they
commonly did have pretty good
sense of the value of trees. So it
happens that many of the older
towns of Delaware are rendered
beautiful and distinctive today by
trees set out many years ago.
People worked hard in those days
but they were not too absorbed in
their own interests to get out on
holidays or at odd moments, and
set out fine groups of trees around
their home places or on their
streets. The present generation
owes a tremendous debt to these
fathers and grandfathers who rem
dered us this service.
1t only seems fair for us to keep
up with that spirit, and pass some
thing on for the benefit of our de-
scendants. Planting trees where
needed will lead them to look back
to us with gratitude and affection.
But one does not have to wait un-
til future generations to get the val
ue of tree planting. Land with
young trees on it should have a
higher selling price. People who
neglect to set trees out along new
streets, fail to do what they might
to make their property attractive
and valuable.
Milford chronicle., 1929-06-14
GETTING BUSINESS

A man remarked that recently he
wanted to get certain service, and
he called up three concerns and
asked their price. One of them
would do the thing for $500, one
charged $3.50, and one wanted $500
for precisely the same work. Nat
urally he went to the one who only
charged $500.
Apparently the people who charg-
ed $3.50 and $500 had been able to
get their prices. But if the concern
that did that work for $500 had ad-
vertised that fact thoroughly, it
would have either got most of the
business, or the concerns that ask
ed more would have had to reduce
prices. Which shows what a service
advertising provides for the public.
THE TRADE of people that has
gone out of town, is brought back
not so much by closing mail order
and large city competitors, as by
initiating their advertising meth
DDS.
So@
IF YOU WANT your home town
to keep up with the procession, you
will have to do a little pulling of it
uphill yourself.

COMMON SENSE BODYBUILDING

The solution of the automobile
accident problem. is within the con-
troll of the people and state road
building authorities. Narrow pave
ments, sharp unbanked turns and
worn and rutty surfaces take toll of
thousands of lives each year. Main
highways should be wide enough for
several cars to pass.
1t is now necessary to build Sec
ondary roads not only to relieve
traffic on the main highways, but to
give a fair distribution of road tax
funds and to develop the back coun-
try. Secondary roads increase the
value of farm land, put new life into
smaller towns, relieve congestion of
traffic in the larger centers by fur
better distributing and mar
keting facilities, and opening new
avenues for traffic.
Improvement of secondary roads
can be accomplished at moderate ex-
pense through the scientific use of
asphaltic materials and road oils,
which can be utilized to give a wa
ter proof surface that eliminates
mud and dust. Each state probably
needs 10 miles of secondary, or
feeder roads to one mile of state
if a road system is proper
" developed and tax funds equit-
IDLY distributed.

NEW YORK'S AUTOMOBILE
ACCIDENT LAW

New York's new automobile re-
sponsiblity law which goes into eff
feet September Is, is an example of
sensible legislation to curb the reck-
less and protect the injured.
Under the provisions Of the law,
any motorist involved in an accident,
if he is found guilty of reckless or
fast driving, driving while intoxicat-
ed or leaving the scene Of the acci-
dent without reporting it, must give
proof of his ability to satisfy any
judgment that may be lodged against
him, up to $4,000 for one person,
$4,000 for more than one and $1,000
property damage. If he is unable to
do so, his license is revoked and the
registration Of his car cancelled.
Also, if a motorist loses a civil
suit resulting from an automobile
accident, even though he has COM
mitted none of the foregoing viola
tions of law, his license is suspend
ed until he meets the judgment and
gives proof, through a bond, cash,
or insurance policy, that he will be
financially responsible for any fu-
ture accidents that may occur.
This law is considered by many
experts to represent the most per-
feet possible accident legislation. 1t
avoids the pitfalls of unconditional
compulsory insurance, which has
caused such a chaos in Massachus-
etts. 1t places the expense, respon-
sibility and punishment where it
belongs, on the reckless and incom-
petent.
PEOPLE have to keep pretty
wide awake to keep their business
growing. The proprietors and man
ayers of stores have to look to
their employees and helpers to do
the bulk of that work. So if we
want our retail trade to grow here
in Milford much of that work of
promoting growth has to be done by
display of energy and initiative by
the people employed in such trade.
For instance, someone remarks
that ip some stores, if he failed to
buy stuff that he had had previous
ly, no one would notice it. But in
some stores, he said, the omission
would be. noticed in very courteous
way, and steps would be taken to
get the lost trade back. 1t is that
kind of initiative and aatchfulness
