HONEYMOON COUPLES

According to tradition, newly mar
ried couples on their travels can al
ways be identified. The brides lat
est style garments suggest their ro-
mantle position. Still more reveal
ing is their intense absorption in
each other. Nothing in the scenery
through which they pass, the people
about them, or in newspapers and
books in their hands, interests them
so much as looking at each other.
They arc exploring a fascinating
new world of human personality.
The public is glad for their happi-
ness, only with bit of cynicism,
reading the divorce news in its
newspapers, it wonders how long
this rainbow mood of romance will
last.
1t can prove permanent, if the
newlyweds have the right idea. If
they have married to give each other
happiness, as well as to enjoy it
themselves, they arc not likely to
be seen in court very soon.

GOOD NEIGHBORHOODS

Anyone who is trying to sell a
house finds that his sale is much
assisted, if he can say it is located
in good neighborhOod." What
constitutes such a good neighbor-
hood?
The main points of good neigh
bOrhood are, that the people all feel
under obligation to make their
dwellings attractive and present.
able, that they have certain stand
ards of care which they feel must
be lived up to, that they consult to-
gether to prevent undesirable de-
velopments, and that they are per-
sOnally friendly with each other.
The people of any neighbOrhood
which has not fully lived up to that
standard, can add 25 to so per cent
to the values of their properties, if
they will resolve henccforth to con-
form to it.

DEFICIENT CHILDREN

Three per cent of children are
feeble minded, and Is per cent have
mental deficiencies, according to a
study of $1,000 children recently
presented to the American Associa-
ton for Study of the Feeble Minded.
What is the matter with our people
that they are producing so many
children who, in the old phrase, are
a little weak in the upper story?
Very competent and able people
sometimes have deficient children.
But many of these incompetents are
the children of deficient parents who
should never have offspring. And
probably many deficient children in
herit defects due to the vices of their
parents. The community that toll
crates dcpravcd conduct is going to
have many cnfcebled mentalitics to
contend with.

Gladys Baker is teacher:
The Robin
I love the robin
He sings to me
Up in the top
OF the cherry tree.
His feet are yellow,
His breast is red:
His back is brown
And so is his head.
He builds his nest
OF sticks and clay,
His mate lays eggs
From day to day.
The eggs are blue
There are only four,
And if they're broken
She'll lay no more.
Elsie Haubert |
My Turtle
My daddy caught turtle,
put it in a glass
And carried it to school
To show it to my class.
My teacher took stick
And pohed it in the eye,
wish she had not done it,
1t made my turtle die.
And now l have no turtle.
| sigh, and sigh, and sigh,
l rub my eyes and blink them,
And try hard not to cry.
Gladys Magee
The Roses
Every rose on the little tree
Is making a different face to me.
Some look surprised when l pass by
And others blush, for they are shy.
These two whose heads together
press,
Must have secret, / confess.
Your sweet, sweet nobody knows
You pretty, pretty, little rose.

THE TEACHERS yACATION

Some people think that school
teachers have an easy life with va
cations running from two to three
months. Yet if one were to follow
these teachers when they close the
schoolhouse door, they would not be
found sitting around in stuffed
chairs. Many of them, though much
frazzled by the nervous job of man
aging a roomful of children, are dig
ging into deep books at summer
schools, trying to keep up with the
latest technique of their profession.
Many are serving as Mattresses at
summer hotels, many are washing
dishes at home or elsewhere. Our
best wishs hre i'll Milford go out to
those teachers. May all the strains
of their strenuous job be repaired
by September, and may their sum-
mer experiences give them jolly
times to Offset any blue schoolroom
days.

GRADUATION HONORS

Many thousands of young people
have received diplomas of gradua-
tiOn from schools and colleges. This
great army keeps growing in num-
bcr. Years ago it would have been
thought inconceivable that the
could turn out such a vast number
of educated young people.
At that time it was very excep-
tional thing for a young person to
attend college, particularly for
girl. The graduate attracted most
as much attention in his home town
as a prominent statesman would to-
day. He was pointed out on the
street as celebrity. Even high
school graduates were not so COM
mon then. Young people who at
tanned this honor were far above the
average.
Today graduates are as thick as
hucklebcrrics. Whatever one may
think of the value of education, the
possession of such diploma at least
proves that a young person has been
willing to work. He has been up
against a certain task, and has
shown willingness to accomplish
that task. In a world full of quit
ters, it is pleasing that so many fin
ishers are found.
Graduation day is happy time
for youth. The young person has
the buOyancy of early age, and has
10 doubt about his ability to make
good in the great world of life. He
has met and defeated the tempta-
tiOns and foes of school life, the in
dolence, the difficulties of study, the
anXieties, which each student con-
fronts. Sustained by this expert
ence of success, he has faith i'll what
he can do in the larger field. He is
welcomed here in Delaware, and all
are glad of his faith and energy and
confidence. Il
Into the cold realities of life, the
graduates are about to make their |
plunge. They will shiver a bit as
they come up against its shocks. |
But the inspirations of study and
the undying enthusiasm of youth,
will carry them a long way.
Milford chronicle., 1931-06-19
DECLINING PRICES

If people ask when business will
be thoroughly prosperous again, the
reply might be made that such pros
perity should return soon after the
prices of commodities stop declin-
ing. During the past year the whole
sale prices of the basic staples have
been steadily falling, with retail
prices following in their wake.
The original cause of the recent
depression appears to have been
exaggerated speculation, and the
consequent losses and pessimism
that followed. But the exaggerated
level of prices created a vulnerable
situation, which has had to be cor
rected before business could go on
to normal prosperity.
Inflated prices are a dangerous
and. unnatural condition. In the
long run the country will be much
better off when prices reach a fixed
and reasonable level Retail prices
are not likely to see a decline any
thing like that of wholesale prices,
because they arc mintained by the
present charges for labor, transpor-
tation, taxes, etc, which are much
above the level existing before the
war.
When prices were abnormallly
night, every business concern
bought just as little as possible.
When prices become stable, business
people will buy more literally, and
a new wave of prosperity will start.
Mott many producers will sell
goods at an actual loss except in
some emergency. When the time
comes that they are selling below
cost of production, they restrict pro-
duction, and then prices stop drop
ping or go higher.
1t would seem as if most of the
basic commodities must be close to
hat point now. 1t is incOnceivable
hat wholesale prices can sink much
ower. Retail prices are not likely
o drop further, unless wages,
freight and trucking rates, and taxes
come down. 1t looks as if the turn
ng point were here, and as if with
II a short time prices would stiffen,
md business people would be send
ng hurry up orders to the factories. |
