The fate of retirement legisla-

Hoover and the House leaders,
will stand by the LeI1lbach meas.

Dale Agreed
Senator Dale is understood to
have agreed to modification of bis.
measure to suit the expressed de
Sires of President Hoover for a

That neither the Dale bill, as it

RED PROPAGANDA

With the body of Lenin lying in his

Knauth, New York publicist, last night
told Institute of Craftsmanship that
Russia, the propagandistS' paradise,
was far from successful at its own spe-
cial game"
"Bolshevik Russia" said Mr.. Knauth,
demonstrates to all of us that what
ever may be said in favor of propa-
ganda must be based upon the funda-
mental requirements that counter
propaganda be permitted. There are two
sides to every question and both sides
must be freely presented il the people

Russia. Mr.. Knauth described as a
completely propagandiZed country"
The schools are propaganda factories
with training courses in Communism,
which are carried through all age groups
until the young men and women are
ready and old enough to join the Com
munist party itself. Here is a perfect
system Of continuous propaganda.
The moving picture is exploited to
the limit as a weapon of propaganda,
with the government footing the bill.
The same procedure Is applied to radio.
Loud speakers, Summer or Winter, shout
out from hundreds of street corners
and village squares, producing intermi-
nable speeches.
Newspapers Of all sorts, including the
famous wall newspapers or bulletin
boards, are used, of course, and lastly,

LONDON. January 10.-Fate has called

to open the five-power arms conference
which will compose new refrain about
naval parity for that stirring old hymn
.'Rule Britannia, Britannia Rule the

Trained for the British Navy instead

In his time he has paced the decks OF
his own command, faced all the dangers
of tempest and tide, maneuvered with
the fleet and brought his ship safely TO

In his twelfth year. the present King
and his elder brother became naVai

and step by step he rose on his merlts
as an officer during IA years service IN

Upon his return to England he passed

at Annapolis Naval Academy. In 1885
he was promoted lieutenant and served
on H. M. S. Thunderer, Dreadnought

In 1889 he was put in command OF

THE TIME TO BUILD

Costs of building are said to be
down from IL to 30 per cent below
the level prevailing in 1929. Archi-
tects, builders, and public authori-
ties urge the corporations, munich
palities, public institutions, and pri-
vate citizens, to take advantage OF
this opportunity.
Probably the costs Of such con-
struction are lower now than they
will be for years. There does not
seem much chance that labor's wages
will come down. Producers of ma
terials are selling at large reduc-
tions.
1t seems singular that people have
way of building when costs are
high, and of failing to take advant-
age of favorable conditions when
costs are low. It'll would seem a
much more far-sighted policy to go
ahead with these projects at times
like the present, when they can be
done at the least expense. In that
way any enterprise or public institu-
tion can get its overhead costs down.
1t will have to pay less interest over
a term of years for construction
that was carried on at a minimum
of expense. ...'..
At a time when there is much un-
employment, labor is particularly eff
ficient, and the wage-earners in all
trades are anxious to make good and
hold their jobs. They would put a
building along now in a very prompt
and energetic fashion.
Conditions in many localities may
not be suitable for certain types Of
building in cold weather. But con-
struction work is carried on now in
winter very much more than former
ly, and many jobs are put right
along in cold weather. In localities
having a mild climate, the people
should take advantage of low costs
to do a lot of needed building. The
country is growing rapidly, and it is
going to take a great deal of con-
to supply its needs within
the next few years. Now is the fav-
orable time to begin on it.

GIVING COOPERATION

What is your attitude when efforts
are made to obtain public co-opera-
tion in any good home town cause?
If the townspeople are asked to as
sist in a cleanup movement, do you
remain Indifferent or scoffing, or do
you see to it that all your property
is cleaned up?
If an organization asks for public
support in carrying on community
work, do you refuse the cooperation
you might give? Or are you willing
to take hold and do your share? If
money is asked for some good public
cause, are you willing to do your
part? The fate of town, its future
prospects, are determined largely by
the public response to such requests
for cooperation. If it is generally
given, the town goes ahead. If not,
it falls behind.

CHRISTMAS GREETING CUSTOM

When people began to send out
Christmas cards to their friends, it
was perhaps thought that it was a
temporary fad. But it becomes
more and more popular. There may
be more such cards sent this year in
Milford than ever before.
People like to remember absent
and nearby friends at least once a
year, and show a desire to keep up
that friendship. If they have not
had time to write or call OH them, it
does at least help to keep up the old
tie to drop them a pretty card in the
mail.
The message shows that the bonds
of former relations are not forgot
ten, and that if you have not had
direct communication with these
friends, you at least value them, and
wish to let them know that you
think just as much of them as ever.
The only undesirable feature of it
is that the heap of such cards that
passes through the postoflices makes
a mountain of work for clerks and
carriers. If people would buy and
mail their cards earlier, that work
would not be so burdensome.
