INTEREST IN CITIZENSHIP

Returns from the recent election
indicate a very large falling off in
the total vote. The interest that
was taken in the presidential cleo
tion of 1928 has fallen off. Many
voters who cared enough for that
result to get out to the polls, have
not cared enough this time to elect
congressman and state officers.
Here is a deplorable lack OF in
terest in public affairs. What cah
be done about it?
1t would seem as if people should
be trained from early youth to be-
come interested in this public bust
ness. 1t is remarked that it is hard
ly possible to have political questions
studied in schools, since people
right complain that teachers gave
one sided views of politics.
! 1t would seem a practical idea,
and one that should cost little or
nothing, if previous to each election
the school authorities of every COM
munity would invite the two leading
political parties of their city or
town to send representatives into
the schools to explain the principles
of their respective parties. Each
side could be given an equal amount
OF time, so there would be no unfair
ness.
Then after they heard these
speeches, the children might well
be allowed to vote for their choice
OF parties or candidates. Probably
they would usually vote the way
their parents do. But their atten-
tion would be called to political
questions, and they would see at an
early age that these questions are
going to affect their daily lives.
1t would seem probable that if
this plan was carried out, most of !
these boys and girls would register
and vote as soon as they become of
age. They would read political
news, and become more intelligent
ON this subject. The political or
carnations should welcome such a
plan, as it would give them chance
to enlist new voters.

USING IDLE TIME

Unemployment is commonly view
ed as a great misfortune. Yet for
some people it will be blessing.
These folks will spend some OF
the time they are out of work, try
ing to improve their working cara
cities. Some of them will conclude
that something may have been the
matter with their previous labors,
that because of certain defects they
were laid off and find themselves
minus any job.
They will decide to take some of
their idle time until they find work
again, it fitting themselves to do bet-
ter work. They will make study of
some occupation or job which they
would like to obtain, take courses OF
lessons preparing themselves for
that job. They will become better
fitted for the field of competition
tIan they were when they lost their
last job. They make themselves
more valuable than. they were be-
Iore, and as a consequence of this
effort and preparation, they have
made it eventually possible to obtain
q better position.
When people are thrown out of
work, many of them find it takes
their entire energy to find some new
Job. They walk the streets and re-
turn home all tired out. Their lot
IS hard one. Still, it would seem
as if they might make use of some
of this idle time to fit themselves to
do better work. Many people in
that position just loaf around, and
accomplish nothing toward improv-
ing their capacities.
Some of them can not be blamed |
too much if they become discOur-
aged. But those who resolutely de-
ride to take some of this idle time
'oi self improvement in points
i'here they are weak, are able to
Use later to a higher level of sue
,ess. They have made their unem-
)loyment profitable. This plan of

INTELLIGENT LOYALTY

1t is a fine thing for people to be
loyal to their home town, but some
intelligence and attention has to be
added to that loyalty. To push a
town ahead, calls not merely for
energy and effort, but people have
to display some judgment as to the
ends toward which that energy
should be devoted.
This principle calls for thought
ful attention to local problems.
People should study their municipal
government, and examine the ways
in which the money can be most ef-
fectively spent. They should study
their schools, and back up every
thing good they do, and see if they
could be improved. They should
make themselves familiar with COM
nunity progress in other cities, to
make sure that their" home town
keeps up with the game.

CHRISTMAS CLUB MONEY

About 100000 depositOrs in
Christmas Club plans are about to
walk up to the banks and draw be-
tween $6OO,OOO,OOO and 100000, 900
III Christmas Club checks. The peo-
pie who keep saying "Cheer up, the
worst is yet to come, and who seem
to delight in prophecies of business
gloom, should note the stimulus that
will be given to industry when this
great sum of money is released.
A good deal of this money will be
lail away in banks, but probably the
bulk of it as usual will go to pur-
cnase of substantial articles. Mil
lions of people who desire to equip
themselves with modern facilities,
will spend a great sum for these
purposes, thus creating a new i'm
pulse of prosperity.
Milford chronicle., 1930-11-21
DOING EVERYTHING WELL

The progress of a town depends
on having a standard that says
everything must be done well. If a
progressive town is laying down a
sidewalk, it is not satisfied with a
cheap job that will not last. Nor is
it satisfied to let a rough old walk
remain in its poor condition.
The same spirit exists in the care
OF home and business places. If a
man has a run down looking place,
he is not satisfied, and he decides
that he must do a better job on it.
He paints it or otherwise repairs it,
the street and the town are i'm
proved, and he has done his share
toward progress. Towns where that
spirit prevails are winners in Della
ware. 49,

HOOVER ON ADVERTISING

President Hoover made a contri-
button to the literature on adVertis-
ing in his recent address to the As
sociation of National Advertisers.
lie pointed out the effect of adver-
Using to transform small industries
into mass production. TIE effectively
illustrated the idea, by saying that
it probably toook 1000 years to
spread the knowledge of the wheel
ed cart. but modern advertising made
the automobile the universal tool of
man in 20 years.
Advertising shows people the next
sep in their progress, and it stimu-
letes their ambition to increase their
usefulness and production, so they
can take that next step.

A UNIQUE GIFT

Coleman dupont of Delaware, ia
nous as leading business man and
philanthrOpist, who died few days
$50, made unique kind of gift to
his home state some years ago. He
bought a 200 foot roadway through
the state, built fine road over it
at cost of $4,OOO.OOO, and gave it
to the state.
If others of our capitalists here in
Delaware desire to do something
exceptionally generous for their
town or state, they could we'll imi-
tate Mr.. dupont, and give their state
some needed strip of road, or their
home town park" or other needed
public utility. Milford needs
park" and the time fir it is right
now.

STRUGGLES FOR EDUCATION

1t is recalled of Gen. Tasker H.
Bliss, who died recently, that at the
age of II years, he walked 10 miles
in his bare feet to see his congress-
man about getting an appointment
to the West Point military school.
He had good pair of shoes, but did
not want them to get dusty as he
trudged over the roads.
Some people will say that the
boys of to-day will not make such
efforts to gain advancement. But
one should not be too sure of that.
The thousands of boys who are earn
ing their way through college may
be struggling just as hard as did
Gen. Bliss while he was footing it
shoeless over those dusty roads.
But whether that spirit is dying
out or not, it is winning one. When
a boy struggles for an education, the
education is not the only thing that
counts. The persistent effort puts
a quality. of iron into his character
that forces its way ahead.

CHRISTMAS TRADE

If the time ever comes when peo-
pies personal habits are regulated
in a sensible way, the common GUS
tom of making Christmas purchases
during a period of about 10 days pre-
vious to the holiday, and sending
them off to friends in one grand rush
will be radically changed. Many
gifts will be bought as people find
them through the year.
In that ideal time, those who fail
ed to show this foresight will GER
tainly get busy by the middle of
November, and consider and select
the gifts they want at once, and
mail them to their friends, marked
mot to be opened until Christmas"
There are a very considerable
number of people who are hard up
all the time, and who. can not thus
anticipate their wants. In this
ideal future time, many of these
folks will no doubt have cut out
some useless expenditures through
the year, so that they too can anti
cipate some or all of their Christmas
wants. But even so, there will still
be a large number of people who
are close to the wall, and who can
not thus buy ahead of their needs.
People who can purchase and mail
their gifts earlier should do so. In
that way a period of about 10 days
or two weeks would be left almost
entirely to those who have no saw
ings, so that they could make their
purchases without finding the stores
full of people who could just as
well have bought their supplies pre-
viously. Under this plan, the stores
and the postal system could save
much expense The holiday period |
would not be such a nightmare of |
overwork and nervous strain for a
host of faithful employees.
Our people in Milford and other
towns of Delaware who have not
considered Christmas gifts, should
take this question up at once, and
make these purchases very soon.
They will find excellent stocks in
Milford now ready for their inspec-
tion.

THE FAMILY HOLIDAY

The traditions of Thanksgiving
day from its early beginnings make
/ 1t peculiarly time of family reun-
ion. Back in simpler times, large
parties Of the sons and daughters
and grandchildren used to gather at
the old home. 1t was not uncommon
for 20 or more people to sit around
the old family table, for a glorious
dinner of old fashioned cookery.
The women folks toiled for this
occasion with hearty interest, and
they felt a high degree of pride in
turning out glorious dinner of tur-
key or other fowl.
Those old feasts were merry times.
Where are they to-day? Not many
modern women have the courage to
attempt them. So we see many of
them resOTting to hotels and restau-
rants for the customary feasts, and
the Thanksgiving dinner of to-ady,
if cooked at home, is a far simpler
affair than it used to be.
In former years, the sons and
daughters usually settled down near
home where they could easily get
back for such an occasion. To-day
they are scattered over the whole
earth. In large families no general |
reunion is possible. Modern life has
brought many new pleasures and ad-
but we miss something in
the absence of these old gatherings.
Yet Thanksgiving can be happy
day. So far as possible, and even at
the cost of expense and trouble, peO-
pie should go back to the old homes
for this renewal of the old ties. The
family automobile helps many to
make they journey. And it should
cot be merely day of feasting. The
purpose of the day should not be for
gotten. 1t should not be without
It's thoughts of gratitude to the pow
IL that has blessed our lives. And
t should not forget those whose
ives are not so fortunate.

GIVE AND TAKE

Some people are all take and no
give. They constantly receive bene-
fits, and make no return. Many
children are that way. They have
received untold blessings from their
parents, but they will not contribute
anything TO the family life.
When people live in a community,
they gain benefits form it every day.

them from crime and disease, it

CAUSES FOR THANKFULNEsS

Some people think at Thanksgiv-
ing time that they have nothing to be
thankful for. One can feel the
deepest sympathy for many of these
folks who have suffered bereave-
ment,. or are afflicted with i'll health
or other troubles. Still, life has a
way of healing wounds.
Life gives us activities into which
we can put our energies, and when
we do work well the performance of
something which we do effectively
has wonderful power to soften
sadness, and make one feel that life
is worth while.
People who are out ofs work may
say they have nothing to be thank
full for. If they have health, many
persons who have both money and
work would change places with
them. There are few people in Mil
ford who can not find many things
to be thankful for.

THANKSGIVING SPIRIT

In former days people were sup
posed to spend a good part of
Thanksgiving day in prayerful med
itation upon their blessings. 1t was
a generous conception of life.
To-day not much time is spent in
meditation about anything. People
are rushing hither and thither. Mil
lions of Americans go some distance
to attend some Thanksgiving dinner,
but they have hardly reached the old
hearthstOne, or wherever the family
party is held now, when they have
to turn around and rush back. They
do not find much time for thankful
ness, or anything else, but eating
big dinner, probably more than is
good for them.
Yet we do not want to give up this
old holiday. It's early history is in
spring. The first Thanksgiving on
our continent was celebrated in
Newfoundland in 1878, by an English
minister, when he exhorted his COM
panions to show thankfulness to God
who had delivered them in those
and dangerous places. 1t was
faith that heartened many hardy
pioneers for the perilous tasks be-
fore them. They believed they were
guided by divine providence, and it
gave them power to accomplish the
seemingly impossible.
From the early days Thanksgiving
day was a very cheerful feast. Peo-
pie forgot their troubles and had a
day of merriment. 1t sent them out
on the difficult tasks of life with a
new happiness. --'->'' ---l--' ~''--i
Let us all rejoice as our families |
come together. These ties of blood |
should mean very much. They hold |
when less firm ones break apart. |
And let us not forget that this faith
in the divine providence to which
thankfulness was expressed, had
much to do with the successful
founding Of our country. 1t sus-
tanned our fathers in many dark
hours, and we should have this same
spirit here in Delaware.
