USEFUL VACATIONS

Does your vacation help you go on
with your work, or do you return so
tired that it takes weeks to recov-
er?
Different people require different
kinds of vacation experiences. Those
who have been under nervous strain
do well to keep pretty quiet. They
should spend many days sitting on
porches and looking at the scenery,
and permitting the quiet peace of
nature to soften the rough edges of
their souls. Teachers usually be-
long in that class. The high ten
sion of the class room calls for a pc
riod of low pressure. The ham,
mock is apt to be the best place for
them. Books on psychology and the
latest educational theory may not be
so useful for them as the latest
mystery story.
Many housewives, toiling over
their dishwashing and cleaning, be-
long in another class. A little ex-
citement is what they need, to make
life seem more sparkling. Some
say summer hotel or camp with
plenty of music and dancing and
sports would do them good.
The main thing is to get the mind
out of the old groove. The business
man who can't get away from the
stock ticker, is not probably MAX
ing the best use of his time. The
golf club should be more useful to
him than any business news. If peo-
pie try to be money makers SO
weeks in the year, they may not
make any in any week.
Many people need a vacation bad
Iy, but never get one. Life is not
adjusted as it should be for them.
Many people get too much vacation,
IS the result of unemployment That |
IS a fault of business that ought to
De remedied. 1t is some problem
o give everyone enough vacation,
)ut not too much. Vacation time,
n the right proportion, is a blessed
for those who use it to
give their physical and mental pow
rs a new start of productive ener-
~. Take vacation now.

SEEING THE WORLD

The summer sets many people on
the go, on various vacation trips.
Horizons have widened very much
for millions of our people Before
the days of automobiles, it seemed a
big jaunt to many people to travel
hundred miles out to some sum
mer resort. Nowadays such a trip is
regarded as just a pleasant Sunday
drive.
The older folks used to long to
see the country, as much as any
restless youngster. But for the ma
iority of them, such excursions were
too costly or interfered too much
with daily work. Our grandparents
longed to reach out for wider hOri-
IONS, but most of these longings had
to remain unsatisfied, as they plod-
ded along their quiet and toilsome
paths.
Today the young people expect to
see the country. More than that, an
enormous number of them persuade
their parents to put up the money
for foreign travel. A horde of them
are found on the bouleVards of
Paris every summer, and all over
Europe. They amaze the world at
the success of a civilization that can
somehow provide the travel money
for all these trips.
The younger generation moves
around the country easily. Young
folks get the idea that business Op-
portunities are better in some dis
tant state, and they make long trips
in pursuit of this dream, which so
often proves illusory. Most of them
do better to begin work in their own
state or section, where they know
the ways and ideas of the people, !
and where they have friends to help
them.
Most of this travel expenditure
may be wasted, and yet it tends to
break down those narrow outloOks
that formerly created sectional
friction. People who have seen
many cities at least should know
what good town looks like. They
should apply their knowledge to
help toward making their home town
better.

STUDENT WORKERS

One of the agreeable sights of a
summer vacation trip, especially in
New England, is to see a host of col
lege and school students and teach
ers serving as walters and other
workers in hotels. Also the many
young men who are tossing hay and
harvesting crops on the farms
Ones heart goes out to these am
bilious young people who have the
courage and resolution to help
themselves, and do not settle down
without education simply because
their parents can't afford to pro-
vide it.
Many of these young people toll
ing in these humble capacities,
have more culture and information
than the people whom they serve.
They have learned the old lesson
that he who humbleth himself shall
be exalted. They stoop to conquer.
America honors this spirit, and
gives it high rewards in later life.

KNOWING NATrRE

1t has been said, "To know that
which about us lies in daily life is
the prime wisdom" As we reflect
on the meaning of the saying, it
comes home to us how little most of
us realize what an undiscovered
world lies around o. u.s., This is a
world of many marvels, and every
little section of it has its wonders.
The stars above our heads, the birds
that sing in our trees, the flowers of
the field, the rocks of our hills and
plains, these are volumes in Ma
ture's great book, which is open for
all of us to read.
Not many of us can become learn
ed in these volumes, Science study
is profound, and one must devote a
lifetime to it to become a real
scientist. But we can all of us de-
velop habits of observation which
will give us infinite pleasure.
The study of nature is one of the
most rewarding of recreations.
Every outing that the year brings
us, every trip out into the open
country, these are opportunities for
study of Natures achievement. All
our fellow creatures, have a story
to tell us. The wonderful instincts
of birds and four footed creatures
are fascinating page in the his
tory of creation. You can sit on
your doorstep, and gain just as
much amusement and much more
wisdom than will come from costly
pleasures. The more you study the
handiwork of nature, the more the
birds, the flowers, the trees, and all
else become familiar ffieRds, whose
life constitutes story as entrancing
as any that the writer's of fiction
ever told. a.
There are no happier people any
where than those who have turned
their thought to eSnature study.
Wealth is not necessary for their en-
joyment every day in the year.

WORKING THROUGH COLLEGE

Theodore Roosevelt was once ask
ed if young man should work his
way through college. His counsel
was that such a student should not
try to study and earn his money for
expenses at the same time He would
better work a year and then study
year, even if it took him seven or
eight years to get through in this
way.
Thousands of students have work
ed their way through college. Many
of them contemplate beginning such
an attempt this fall. Their ambi-
tiOn can be admired, but they
should not be in too much of a hur-
ry. 1t is an extremely difficult
thing to get the benefit of a college
course, and at the same time have
to work many hours a day earning
money. Roosevelt's advice was
good.

THE SPREAD OF OPTIMISM

The power of a cheerful spirit is
something amazing. You can see it
in every activity of life. The cheer
full doctor comes into a sick room,
and he inspires confidence. His
patients feel better Immediately, and
this good cheer is a factor with
great healing power.
1t is the same in the life of
community. A few hopeful and
cheerful and cohfgs siit people, who
have faith in the Future of their
town and of business,-,will do a lot
to make growth and, progress pos
sible. They make tlTeir townspeo-
pie feel that things can be done, and
that difficulties are overestimated.
We need more Of these hopeful
folks in the city of Milford and the
towns of Delaware; ;oy They show us
that many of the obstacles that have
seemed to hamper our community
progress are imaginary.

ENTERTAINING THE TOURISTS

Millions of people are going on
vacation and automobile trips. A
great army of people provide for
their needs for food, lodging, and
entertainment.
The travelling public look for
home comforts. They demand well
cooked food and clean and COM
Portable beds more than anything
else. 1t is sour spot in vaca-
ton trip, if people have to eat sog-
gy food and sleep ON lumpy beds.
The memory of that indigestible
meal and that unhappy night fingers
in their minds.
Many people who set out to en-
tertain the public spend money on
style that should go into better
food, better cooking, and more care
of rooms. And many of these peo-
pie are so slOvenly that tourists
have no appetite when they visit
these repulsive places. Give the
travellers these essentials of COM
fort, and they will forgive you if
your equipment is plain and old
fashioned. Also your reputation
will spread, particularly if you do a
reasonable amount of advertising.

DULL MINDS

An educational authority estimates
that there are 100000 people in
this country with what may be call
ed dull minds. Working with them
is as difficult as performing some
job of cutting with a dull knife.
These folks are out of work much
of the time. Employers hate to pay
money for their time.
How can the dull mind be made
sharp? The answer is, in much the
same way that you sharpen your
knife. You whet that tool on a
grindstone. The dull mind needs
grinding on the problems of life
until it is able to cut its way
through. Many a dull minded per-
son who has grit and persistence,
has sharpened and is now doing
fine cutting on the tasks of daily
life.

WEEK OF HITS AT

The popularity of the Reese The

ly fine program is listed on another

this fact, attendance records are

THE NINIBBEkDOLLAR

The price of commodities and the
expense of doing business, depend
very much upon the speed with
which business capital is turned
over. If a store, whfdh Fhas previous
ly taken six months to produce total
sales equal to its capital, can sell
that amount Of stuff intbree months,
its overhead charge for capital ly-
ing idle is cut in half. 1t can af-
ford to sell for less, and it does.
That quicker movement of capital
is obtained through advertising. 1T
starts up business. The goods that
had been gathering dust on the
shelves, are moved out to the public
before the dust has time to settle.
1t is one of the chief factors in cut
ting down distribution costs.
Milford chronicle., 1931-08-14
EXPENSIVE OUTLAWS

From all over the country the
complaint is heard about excessive
taxation. The manufacturing in
dustries are hampered by it. The
farmers find it a very heavy load.
Government is costing too much.
And one reason why it costs too
much, is that government expenses
are not trimmed the way personal
expenses are.
If a man has limited means, he
does not go into a store and de-
mand the finest suit of clothes. He
asks for something less expensive.
1t may not be elegant enough to suit
fussy taste, but it is within his
means, and the purchase represents
common sense.
But when people get together in
national, state, or municipal gov
ernments, they have a way of de-
manding the highest grade of thing.
Ii a public building is put up, they
are not satisfied with some perfect
ly substantial material, but they
want the most costly and ornate
stuff they can find. The small town
of little wealth often demands a
building that would be appropriate
to a rich community made up of
people who do not mind their taxes.
The role of treasury watch dog is
not popular. The people are look
ing for costly improvements that
will make their towns and cities ap-
pear more handsome. This is par
ticularly the case in obtaining funds
from the federal or state govern
ments, where the taxpayers do not
feel the costs of such i'm
They seem to feel that
the federal and state treasures are
a rich hoard out of which they can
draw indefinitely. Also that these
are a kind of grab-bag, !
in which each locality has to see
which can haul out the richest
prizes.
The American people must get !
over this lavish way of doing things,
if they want to restore full prosper
ty. They must treat public expendi-
.ures the way they do their personal
md family costs.

PREPARING FOR EXAMS

Many young people are having to
do much studying this summer, get
ting ready to take school and col
lege examinations. 1t is some job
to pack away vast amount of facts
in your mind, and have them stay
there, ready for instant use on ex-
animation day. These young folks
have our sympathy. Not many of
the old folks could pass these same
exams.
The students stand the best
chance of passing, if they thorough
ly understand the subjects they are
studying. If they merely learn les
sons by memory, without a good
comprehension of the subject, their
chances are poor. The examiners
are likely to give the benefit of the
doubt to those who grasp the sub
ject, even if they are abit lame here
and there ON matters Of fact.

NEE
INSTALMENT BUYING

Is the purchase of articles on the
instalment plan beneficial to bust
ness, or does it lead to extrava-
gance and industrial depression?
Some people think that excessive
purchases of this kind constituted
one important cause of the 1880 de-
preston. Others hold that such buy
ing encourages people to save money
for substantial articles, instead of
frittering it away in trifling ex-
penses.
There has been a great deal of
instalment buying for many years,
and there always will be much of it.
1t is natural that people who have
regular incomes should wish to en-
joy some things while they are pay
ing for them. But if a great wave
of instalment buying sweeps over
the country in some boom year, it is
apt to be followed by a period of
depression while these buyers are
working off their old debts.
If they anticipate their wants in
one year, they will probably go slow
in buying while they are paying for
these things. So while a certain
amount of instalment buying is nor
NAL and helpful, yet the business
leaders should show some caution in
the way they stimulate such buying
on a great scale.
The machine of modern industry
should run along steadily and even
ly, Big booms and rushes at one
time create over production, follow
ed by periods of slow operation
when people are thrown out of work.
If instalment buying reaches the
point where it is leading to a great
er production than the people can
find money to pay for, it is time to
display the danger signals. Just at
present, while the country is recov-
ering from a bad depression, an in
creased amount of instalment buy |
ing would probably be good thing.
But when the country has fully re-
covered prosperity, it might lead to !
a dangerous state of imitation.
