these luscious spring mornings
~ and smell the moist, fruitful
earth, take some of it up in your
fingers and feel how warm and
crumbly it is, if you don't believe
that it is time to do your spring
planting. Perhaps it is just that you
haven't had the urge. In that case,
put on some old clothes and get
out your garden tools and start dig
ging. You will soon get so popped
up that the seed catalogues will
come out and you will begin order
ing everything from cabbages to
orchids.
With a little extra work. clever
garden accessories can be made
while you are waiting for the seeds
and plants to be delivered. Wood
and paint are the only materials
that are req:.ired to fashion gay
plant markers and vine poles that
will be both practical and decora-
tive. The flower markers should
be shorter than the vine poles,
although they are fashioned on the
same principle.
The markers are made by cutting
strips of wood about one foot long,

FaVOrS Closing Stores Saturday
Nights at 10:30 o'clock

II is with feeling of patience re-
warded, when l read at last of a
movement to close places of bust
ness at 1890 on Saturday nights.
Now that we are to be classed as
a city and not as a town, we are
stepping in the right direction to so
order our customs and ways, betting
our new title. l began my first job
in a store in Milford "a years ago
and we were on duty from Z A. NJ
until midnight and later.
When you think of the same con-
ditiOns existing today, it seems out
of place. With our other modern me-
thods, and certainly nothing to boast
about.
We pride ourselves on being broad
minded concerning other vital things
why be back number in this move
ment?
l have tried all these years to
figure out the benefits derived from
this practice and long ago decided
it was just an old time deep in the
rut) habit, nothing gained, only
clerks being so tired and worn out,
with such long tiresome hours. They
loose interest in the very thing they
are employed to do.
Shorter hours for clerks in Mil
ford stores will mean better service
rendered while on duty. To say moth
ing of better home conditions for
everyone concerned.
