Milford chronicle., 1931-03-27

and the riding OF lne lauleS on HoiSC
back. and the funny actions and
sayings of the clown which at all
times was the life of the show.
In the shows held in the early
days there was but very little to Cf-
fCnd the mOdesty of those who old
attend. The riding of the lady dres-
sed in short dresses exposing her
legs, giving her more freedom in
her jumping acts was too much for
those who did not believe in those
things. and of course did not attend.
A little modesty which characterized
the ladies of those far away days
adopted by the women of the pres
cnt day, would in every way be ben
efcial and create more respect on
( the part of men for women than
/ they now have.
/ Concluded next week.
/ THE LATE SNOW AND RAIN
The snow and rain which the
country has been receiving of late
will go far in bringing the springs
up to normal, and will furnish suf-
fCient moisture for the trees, grass
and other plants.
The farmers can get their early
crops mot yet planted) in the
ground and they will get an early
start and be out of the way for later
crops to be planted.
The wheat and clover fields show
the effect of the recent snow and
rain, and bid fair to make a bumper
crop.
The farmers should be happy. We
know that they have had hard luck,
but at the same time they generally
raise enough to eat. this they should
be thankful for.
There are thousands today walk
ing the streets of the cities of this
country looking for work and there
is no work in sight. Wives and lit
tie children are suffering for food.
While the husbands stand in the
bread-line asking for food. We who
live in the country where food is
more plentiful, know but little about |
the suffering going on among the
poor of the country. especially those
who live in the large cities. The
question is, is there not something
we can do that will will help?
INSTITUTE HELD
The Sussex County Institute for !
teachers of children and young peO-
pie in religious education was held |
in the NJ. E. Church, Milton, on
Thursday of last week.
Mrs. c. A. Timmons, Miss Charles |
S. Adkins, and Mrs. George A. Jes-
10 hp 1C1Anofne. IN
the Glendale NJ. l.. Church School. |
The different speakers at the Insti-
tute seemed perfectly familiar with !
the work they were engaged in, and
the delegates brought back some
very interesting reports.
STATE OF NEVADA
The State of Nevada has lifted the
lid on gambling dens and at one
stroke has gone back to the time
in the old West days.
The new law in regard to divorce,
where it only requires AZ days resi-
dcnCe to secure a dissolution of the
marriage ties. This is surely a bid
Tor the gamblers and those who
are seeking a divorce to settle there
What is it that people will not do
for money?
A sovereign State of the Union
whose very name is besmirched by
having such laws upon its statute
books
This may be a good state for
gamblers and others of equal cali
bre to live in, but for those who
wish to live and do right, it would
be will to give such a commonwealth
q wide berth.
THE FORESTRY BILL
The forestry bill having been sign
ed by Governor Buck is now law.
While the bill has many features
which are admirable, yet that por-
ion which refers to the exemption
for the period of thirty years for
hose who will plant forest trees on
i've acres or more of land.
This should be an incentive for
armers and others who have waste
and which now is paying them no
profit whatever, to get busy and help
by planting trees to aid, in not only
n helping to restore the forests of
he State, but help in vanishing the
brush land which is now an eye sore
o the passer by and make of the
scenery something very attractive to
he human eye.
