itself and the means to sustain it,
for the sanctuary of home and the
joys that pervade it, and for the
mercies of his protection from acci-
dent, sickness or death.
Our country has many causes for
thanksgiving. We have been blest
with distinctive evidence of Divine
favor. AS nation we have suffered
far less than other peoples from the
present world difficulties. We have
been free from civil and industrial
discOrd. The outlook for peace be-
tween nations has been strengthen
ed. In large view we have made
progress upon the enduring struc-
ture of our institutions. The arts
and sciences that enrich our lives
and enlarge our control of nature
have made notable advances. Edu-
cation has been further extended.
We have made gains in the preven-
tion of disease and in the protec-
ton of childhood.
"Now, therefore, l, Herbert Hoo
yer, President of the United States
of America, do hereby designate
Thursday, November q, 1890, as a
national day of thanksgiving, and do
enjoin the people of the United
States so to observe it, calling upon
them to remember that many of
our people are in need and suffer-
ing from causes beyond their con-
troll and suggesting that a proper
celebration of the day should in
clude that we make sure that every
person in the community, young and
old, shall have cause to give
thanks for our institutions and for
the neighborly sentiments of our
people.
I'm witness whereof, l have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the seal of the United
States.
Done at the city of Washington,
this sixth day of November, in the
year of our Lord 1880, and of the
Independence of the United States
of America, the 155th
" "(Signed). HERBERT HOOVER"
By the President: (Signed Henry
L. StimsOn, Secretary of State.

cate sensible women on juries who
will convict these persons, and that
they not be given a chance for Sec
ond or third offense but jailed i'm
mediately.
Senator Drexler went further in
to the matter and suggested that
the best cure for the drunken driver
is to remove intoxicants from his
reach and said that if the men now
employed to enforce prohibition in
the State, cannot ferret out this
liquor, let them get out of office and
put some one in who can.
Senator Drexler, who was intro
duced by Mrs. Samuel P. Rolph,
New Castle county vice president in
the State Federation, and presiding
officer at the meeting, also cited
other hazards in the ordinary hui
man environment, giving statistics
of accidental deaths which were ap-
palling compared with fatalities suf-
fered in trench warfare.
"They speak of disarmament as a
means to peace and preservation of
human life. The Army is not killing
any one, nor the Navy, nor the Coast
Guard. They are busy saving lives
in time of peace. Within a few hours
of news of a flood or hurricane, our
Army, Navy and Coast Guard are
rushed to the scene to aid the Red
Cross in saving hundreds of lives.
1t is we pacifists at home who are
killing people to the tune of $4,000
each year." he asserted. Mr.. DreXler
said that of this number of fatal
accidents, $4,000 occurred in the
home and urged the club women to
follow the example set by industries
and transportation companies and
make the home environment as safe
as they are making their factories
and travel lines.

This week has seen the passing
on of two men who have served Mil
ford in different capacities for a
number of years. James Courtney,
our daytime policeman for long
time, and Frank Reedy, who was
Mayor of our town for several
terms. Both have been familiar fig
ures down town and will be greatly
missed. Those who serve us to the
best of their knowledge and ability,
earn our thanks and command our
respect. These Mr.. Reedy and Mr..
Courtney had. May those who fol-
low them be as earnest in their
purpose to serve the community.

Beginning with next week Milford
folks will enjoy even later moving
pictures than ever before. Within
the past two weeks a different type
of sound system has been installed
at the Plaza Theatre which is of
the film recording type and will take
the place of the disc recording sys-
tenn now being used. The former
system is ready for use as soon as
the film is completed while the disc
records are made after the film is
finished. Thus the pictures come
to us in a shorter time. Mr.. Evans
certainly makes every effort to
give the public the best in service
and in pictures. We have to do the
rest.
