Church NeWS

The Church School Sunday was at
tended by SO scholars and teachers.
This was a fine showing, the wealth
er being extremely warm. The les
son for the day, the title of which
was Abstinence For the Sake of
Others" was discussed in an intelli-
gent manner. Some people, if you
say temperance, think it means en-
tirely to correct the habits of those
who use Intoxicating drinks in any
way, but this is only a part which
! temperance means. While the drink
habit as it now is and mas ever been
is curse to the people of the world,
yet we must stop and think of the
other things which we should be
temperate in. 1t is said that the Am
erican people eat too much, and in
consequence they have become a
race of dyspetics. This is as much
sin in the sight of God as he who
INDUCES in strong drink too freely,
both have tendency to undermine
and destroy the human body.
An over indulgence in those
things called spOrt-this they must
watch closely. They must see that
those things which come under the
heads of sport, do not at any time
bring into their lives those things
of an unsavOry reputation which
man ytimes destroy their usefulness
for good and often makes them out
casts from that grade of society
which all women and men should
crave.
There are SO many other things
people are commanded by God to be
temperate in, but we have not space
to enumeTate all.
But true disciples of Jesus if they
will consult the Master will not go
far astray in regard to the subject
of temperance.
Paul in writing to the Romans ex-
plains in very terse way when he
says "It is good not to eat flesh, nor
drink wine, nor to do anything
whereby thy brother stumbleth. Ro-
mans 14-21.
People can, if they will, by having
implicit faith in our Lord and Saw
iour Jesus Christ, correct many
faults now existing in their lives. !
Will they do it?

but the traveller must move ON as
he passes over the highway toward
Milford he must, if he wants his Vis7
it to be complete, visit Slaughter
Beach and see all the attractions at
that point. The commodious hotel,
dance hall and pier will bear close
inspection. The old beach has been
incorporated and new board is be-
ing built, which is so high that some
of the cottage owners will have to
use many steps to reach the high
elevation of that passage way.
The traveller must not forget the
City of Milford, one of the live
places in Delaware. You will see
there the Caulk Dental Factory,
which employs so many people. The
fine high school building, the two
handsome bank structures, and the
Milford Chronicle building where the
paper is printed that goes into so
many homes in the State and else
where, and is a source of joy to the
many readers when the day of the
arrival of the Chronicle comes.
We must leave the traveller here
and at some future time will point
out for him a route which he may
go to see other scenes which will
prove equally attractive as the one
just finished.
These tours by the use of motor
cars are becoming more attractive
and instructive and people are hav-
ing the time of of their lives watch
ing what nature produces in such a
volume along the way. The health
giving qualities which are produced
by being in the open so much, will if
followed, put color in any ones
checks and take away that tired
feeling and put new strength in the
body and in fact make a new being
of anyone who will endeavor to obey
and not abuse the rules laid down

Harvest Bugs

For the past week our town has
been overrun with a small insect
called by some harvest bugs. They
generally make their appearance
about the time when the harvest sea-
son commences. They are very an
noying and being so small you can
hardly discern them, making it very
unpleasant for people who have to
bear with them.
Some of our townsmen who are
not familiar with the bugs imagined
that they had a case of strawberry

Visit To Georgetown

The writer made a short visit to
Georgetown Thursday of last week.
The farms along the way looked
prosperous and the farmers were
generally busy cultivating their
crops and engaged in other outdoor
work.
We were very much impressed
with the way Roach & Sons are wild
ening the du Pont Boulevard from
Milford to Georgetown. 1t is nearly
finished. They have made quick work
of the job and soon the motorists
will have much wider highway and
one which will be much less free of
danger than when the boulevard was
only fourteen feet wide.

It is a true fact that the willing

the way of it's accomplishment
grows quickly into a habit. This
habit shortens the mental vision; it

Would Federate All
 American Industry
 To Beat Hard Times
Gerard SwOpe, President of General Company Electric Company, Presents Plan to Electrical Manu- lecturers

New York, Sept 17.-(UP)-A business constitution" designed to federate all American industry in working out an economic plan to safeguard. employer and worker and solve permanently the prob lem of ''hard times" has been drafted by Gerard Swope, presi- dent of the General Electric com pany.
 Swope outlined his plan to 500 members of the National Electrical Manufacturers association, repre- senting the 50 divisions of the in- dustry. at a banquet last night. The plan calls for organization of each industry into trade as- sociation regulating production through agreement on trade prac- tices and ethics, and providing standard accounting methods and regular financial reports.
 Labor's interests are protected through provisions for workers compensation. old age pensions. life and disability insurance, and unemployment insurance. The interest of the general pub 1ic Is protected through federal supervision. The federal trade commission or a bureau of the department of commerce would regulate companies and trade as- sociations.
 Swope's plan gives the workman a sense of security in his job and tends to remove fear of. the "40- year headline" as he grows older.
 The proposal was drafted in consultation with leaders of the electrical ndustry-although' 1t was planned to embrace all U. S. industrics-and has the tacit ap- prova lof that group.
 owen D. Young, board chairman of General Electric, also spoke at the dinner and heartily endorsed the plan.
 Swope said five principles un- derlie his program:
 Every effogt should be made to stabilize industry and thereby stabilize employment to give the worker regularity and continuity of employment, and when this is impracticable. unemployment in- surance should be provided.

 "There should be standardized forms of reports so that stock holders may be properly informed.
 Production and consumption should be coordinated on a broad CT and more intelligent basis thus tending to regularize employment and thereby removing fear from the minds fo the workers as to continuity of employment; as to their surviving dependents in case of death; and as to old age.
 Every effort should be made to preserve the benefits of individual originality, initiative and enter prise, and to see that the public Is assured that It's interests will be protected"

 A description of the missing ma chine was broadcast over the de- partment's teletype.
