ALMOST--PERHAPS
(By H. E. Prall)

(y n. f. Prall)
Sometimes sense the promise of great fame,
Or Fortune at my portal gently taps;
But when | rise to open for that dame
merely hear that awful word Perhaps"
Sometimes stretch my hand to take the prize,
Or venture to indulge some reckless boast,
But every cherished hope within me dies,
And in its place that painful word almost"
Perhaps, my child, you'll win your way to fame;
Perhaps, you'll rise to hold some honored post;
Perhaps, you'll carve out for yourself a name,
More likely, though, twill only be almost"
Perhaps" the greatest word today on mortal tongue;
almost" for disappointment wears the crown;
The former builds up hope in old and young,
The latter comes along and tears it down.
Take courage if a hero you would be,
The greatest heroes of life's mighty host
Are those who struggle, far from victory,
To overcome that barrier almost"

CLUBS JOIN in WORK TO
PERPETUATE WILD LIFE

According to B. F. Gerry, secre-
tary of the Montana Sportsmen's
association, the sportsmen's clubs
throughout the state are more ac-
tive than in any previous year.
1t was Secretary Gerry who show
ed pictures of Montana wild life,
and lectured on them, last May,
at the high school.
The state association has 80
affiliated clubs at this time in
comparison with twenty clubs
last year. Several other clubs
are expected to join in the near
future, In view of the fact that
there are but about sixty-five &C
tive clubs in the state, the mem
bership this year is considered
very good and is the largest since
the organization of the state as
~sociation in 1920. The SO clubs
affiliated represent about eighty
per cent of the organized sports
men in the state.
In addition to the sportsmen's
clubs, dude ranches, hotels, bus
mess firms and individuals T
contributing to the support of the
association this year in order that
every activity necessary for the
pe%rpetuation of the wild life of
Montana may be carried on. These
assisting members are in the a.
mounts of $500. $1,000, $500
$50 90 and $4,000 for individuals
or business firms. All members
are receiving a large attractive
membership card this year.
One of the latest activities to
be sponsored by the association
is to have suitable parts of the
present public domain lands set
aside for refugees for birds and
big game and for public fishing,
hunting and recreational purposes.
. small part of the public domain
could not be set aside for better
purpose. 1t will also help greatly
to eliminate one of the greatest
menaces that so many states are
laced with today; namely, the
lack of public fishing, hunting
and recreational areas for not on
ly the present but for future
generations.
Mr.. Gerry stated that it will re-
luire more than a year to COM
1lete the necessary surveys and
also that the support of the en-
ire citizenry of the state will be
Necessary in getting such areas
set aside. This is one of the
activities yer sponsored

THE COST OF THRILLS

AS people sit in their comfortable
seats at movie theatres here in Della
ware, and witness stunts of adven-
ture and daring, they little realize
what danger and suffering have to
be met by these performers. Per-
haps they comprehend it a little
better, after reading of the. suffer-
ings endured on the Newfoundland
coast by the film party that went
out in the ship Viking, to obtain
pictures of the sealing industry.
The men who took the tragic
chances on the Viking did not do it
on any ignoble errand. They were
trying to obtain pictures of a labor
ious and hazardous industry. If
successful, the world would have
had more sympathy for the brave
men who risk their lives in such en-
terDriseS.
Milford chronicle., 1931-03-27
GOVERNMENT RED TAPE

The slow process of getting action
through the government has been IL
lustrated the past winter, in efforts
made to start public construction
jobs to relieve the unemployed. Peo-
pie had a hopeful idea that if there
were a lot of men out of work, they
could suddenly be given employment
by starting these construction jobs
But it is not so simple as all that.
If the government is going to con-
struct a post-office, many prelimin-
aries have to be gone through with.
A site must be selected, legal papers
drafted and signed, plans must be
drawn, bids advertised for. 1t il
long process, more extended than
people realize.
When such proceedings drag along
month after month, people call it
''red tape. And yet it seems to be
necessary. There are a host of peo-
pie who are all the time trying to put
something over on the government.
These various preliminaries are
largely required as a protection
against those persons who are try
ing to take unfair advantage.
Public officials wish to protect
themselves against charges of fraud
and favorism. They fear that if
they make hasty decisions, so as to
get work along, the complaint will
be made that they acted improperly.
So gradually systems have grown up
the purpose of which is to make
fraud and favorism impossible. These
systems are a defense against undue
influence, but they often make gov
ernment work very slow.
Is there any way to speed up this
so-called red tape? 1t is not easy,
so long as so many people are try
ing in some way to get something
out of the government that they
should not have. And yet, in times
Of emergency, the time required for
might seemingly be
speeded up. Public officials should
be given some leeway, and power to
cut out unnecessary motions in
time when many need employment. !
Milford chronicle., 1931-03-27
PAINT IN THE BACK YARD

If people could only see their own
property as other people see it,
there would be some tremendous
cleanup jobs done here in Milford
and towns elsewhere. People be-
come used to disorderly home
grounds, and fail to realize how dis
reputable and discouraging they look
and what a blot of depression they
cast over neighborhood.
One thing that makes many homes
look ugly, is the habit of letting
small outlying structures go un-
painted. 1t often happens that peo-
pie will paint their dwellings, but
if they have a garage or a woodshed
or a chicken coop in the rear, they
let that go unpainted.
Fences also need to be painted. If
not painted they soon decay, and
either they will flop around in a de-
cadent condition, or they will have
to be removed. Painting a fence or
a woodshed takes but little paint and
little time, and it adds so much to
the neatness of the place, that it
amply pays.
A property owner feels happier in
his possession, his standing in the
neighborhood is better, his real es-
tate is worth more money, if he
keeps every bit of woodwork around
his place in neat and attractive con-
dition. These structures will last
enough longer to make it pay.
A house with every bit of the back
yard woodwork painted looks like a
place where the owner is adequate
to all situations, and it is a pleasure
to have such a one for a neighbor.
People would pay more money to get
next to such a man. That reputation
is worth something as a practical |
asset.
A house with unpainted structures
in the rear seems a kind of announce
ment to the world that the people
who live there are not keeping up
with the game, and are letting
things Slip. No one can afford to !
give that impression to his neigh
Dors and the world.
