UNSKILEED LABOR

When there is unemployment and
many people out of work, who are
the folks most apt to be idle? Ger
tainly it is not the skilled workers,
the craftsmen who have thoroughly
learned their trades. No, it is the
"hewers of wood and drawers of wa
ter" in the old phrase, the manual
laborers who never acquire skill at
any particular occupation, and have
nothing to sell to the world but
their muscular power. -4
The man who digs. in the dirt and
carries heavy loads is not to be
looked down upon. We depend on
his honest toll. We should be up
against it if there were not thou
sands like him. Perhaps some day
muscular labOrers will have become
so scarce, that that kind of work
will have to be highly paid. But at
present the world has an ample sup
ply of such workers. 49,
They drift from one job to an
other, from one employment to the
next. They can always be replaced.
If one lot of them quits, some other
bunch can be found. They have not
made themselves specially valuable
to any employer.
Their principal reliance is upon
the muscular tasks of construction
and road and farm work. When
these go slow in winter, they are UP
against it, and many of them have
to wait until spring comes again and
these kinds of work revive. ,:.
The hard lot of these men should
be a warning to every young man in
Milford to learn some good trade.
The more skillful he becomes, the
less the chances are that he will be
laid off in times of dull business.
His employer becomes dependent
upon him, and values his dexterity,
and familiarity with the methods and
standards of the shop. Other peo-
pie may have to go if work slacks
up, but his employer will strain
every possible point to keep him, for
it will be difficult to fill his place
when the next rush comes.

THE DiS0RDERLY SPIRIT

People who attend the athletic
events of schools remark that at
some of these affairs, it appears to
be kind of student custom to tear
up into small pieces the scorecards
or programs that are given to the
spectators, and scatter them all over
the seats. The boys and girls are
overlooking with their fun, and it
seems to give them quite kick to
tear up these pieces of paper and
hurl them into the air.
If all those minute scraps are
swept out of those stands, it will
mean a great amount of work. Lit
tie pieces of paper cling to wood
work and to the ground, and many
of them would have to be picked up
one by one. Probably in many of
these school athletic fields where
this trick is seen, such paper scraps
are not picked up for a whole season,
thus spelling the appearance of the
place.
If anyone complained of such
tricks, it would be remarked that
boys will be boys" Some people
seem to feel that boys and girls
must be given full limit, to do just
as they please. No matter how
much trouble and disorder they
cause, it must be tolerated as insep-
arabic from youth.
The above is only one instance of
the thoughtless spirit that so many
children show. In many towns the
streets over which many school pu-
pills pass on their way to school are
badly Uttered with pieces of paper
This habit is of course indulged in
also by some older people. And yet
after anyone acquires home of his
own, and finds out what continuous
effort it takes to keep it neat and
clean, it ceases to seem funny to him
to throw litter into the streets for
someone else to pick up.
1t all goes to confirm the remark
of an old timer, who used to tell the
boys of his neighborhood that they
had great deal to learn before they
were 80 years old.

DEFECTIVE ENGLISH

Many clerical workers are said to
have very limited knowledge of the
English language. 1t is claimed that
American schools are trying to teach
so many things, that the students
fall down on the plain and simple
requirements of spelling, penman-
ship, grammar, and the meaning of
words.
1t is remarked in evening schools
conducted in some of our cities for
young people of limited opportuni-
ties, that most of them are eager to
study stenography and typewriting,
but they do not seem to desire stud
les to perfect their knowledge of
English. They think they can get
business jobs just by Knowing
shorthand and tipping, but mean
while they are woefully lacking in
knowledge of their own language.
Young folks like that may become
speedy typists and shorthand artists.
But they will make so many errors
that business concerns conducted by
well educated men and women will
be ashamed to send out the letters
they write.

FACING MONOTONY

Mrs. Hoover, wife of the president,
recently remarked that it takes just
as much courage to wash dishes
three times a day as to go out and
shoot a bear. In fact, lot of folks
who would not hesitate to face old
Bruin, would give up when asked
to face some motononous task every
day. r.
Most people who have accom-
plished any large results, had to go
through a period of dull monontony.
They had sufficient self control to
see that those monotonous tasks
were necessary work that someone
must do. They resolved to do them
well and cheerfulIy. In so doing,
they were so much better than
others of more restless type, that
they won the attention of their SUI
periOrs, and obtained the chance to
do something more interesting.

WOMEN BETTER THAN MEN?

1t used to be claimed that WON
en- are superior to men morally, but
many persons doubt it. Yet recent
figures of prison inmates showed
that only six per cent of them were
women. Somehow the girls seem to
keep out of jail. Are they smarter
in covering their tracks, or have
they superior principle that holds
them back from crime? a.
Women are more tender hearted
and sympathetic than men, which
makes them recoil from brutal
crimes which land many men in jail.
Also they are said to have a keener
intuition than men, which tells
them that sooner or later the crook
ed person lands in Jail. Women may
not be morally better. but their err
rors take 4 more subtitle form which
does not necessarily lead to prison.

HARDY PERENNIALS

Gardeners in all sections of the.
country find that hardy perennials
as we'll as ANIMALS add color to per-
manent shrubbery paintings, says
the Bureau of Plant Industry. 4
Though, the hardy herbaceous per
ennials listed in seed oatalOgs are
usually adapted to COOL moist reg
IONS. many other kinds, especially
native plants, grow we'll in the war
mer and drier parts of the United
States. Various species of violets,
phlox, trillumps, Tudbeckias, sed--
ums, yuccas, columbines, asters, and
goldenrods give good results in all
sections. The Bureau of Plant In
dustry suggests planting hardy per
ennials in irregular groups at OPEN
ings of shrubbery, or by themselves .
in long, narrow beds. They are also
appropriate in special gardens such
as rock gardens, wall gardens. fern
gardens, cactus gardens, and bog
gardens. Many hardy perennials
will grow we'll if started from seed.
Most of them should be divided and
reset every three or. four years. y

ing new form of City Council, a
City Managership for performing all
kinds of municipal work after a plan
drawn and submitted to Council for
its approval.
With the great change to be
made at the next election i'm Jan
uary 1882, in governing the City of
Milford, through the new charter,
there is much to be done by the
present Council. There must be an
entirely new code of City Ordinances
created to meet present day condi-
tions. This work must be done by
legal minds of experience and wide
information. 1t will undoubtedly cost
money to get such talent, but four
thousand people of Milford will not
be satisfied unless it is done, and
we'll done.
The traffic conditions are almost
intOllerable, especially on Saturdays,
and many people have gone to other
places to escape the annoyance of
lack of parking, and absolutely no
control of traffic jams. Danger to
those walking on sidewalks or cross
ing the streets, results from the
crazy fools who disregard reguIa--
tiOns of lights and especially at
crossings.
The sidewalks are absolutely stol-
ell from the people who walk to and
from our places of business, as well
as people who come to buy. Fruit
stands, displays of vegetables, OBJ
noxious ice cream signs and such
stop pedestrians from
use of the sidewalks.
This is some of the reasons why
Milford welcomes City Manager
form of government. g.,

OUR FUTURE LEADERS

A gentleman who takes charge of
a club for newsbOys in one of our
cities, remarked in a recent address,
that he would look for the future
leaders of the country quite as much
in this group of boys, as he would
in an equal number of college stu
dents. This gentleman is himself
very scholarly man who formerly
held position in an important edu-
cational institution, so that his re-
mark was not made in any spirit of
prejudice against the higher educa-
ton.
He was looking at the inner ma
ture of those boys, rather than at
their superficial advantages. They
were practically all from humble
families. The majority of these fam
lilies had emigrated rather recently
to this country. But these boys had
a certain power which the sons of
wealth frequently lack.
They had feeling of responsible
ity developed by their work They
received a certain number of news
papers each day, and they either had
go bring back those papers or the
money to pay for them They were
self reliant. Any boy who sold pa.
pers on certain street corner, ex-
pected to fight for his privilege on
that corner with any boy who tres
passed there. He could stand up for
his rights.
These boys had to be pushing and
forceful. The quiet boy who stood
in his corner and waited for Gus
toners to come and buy would not
sell many. He needed to get out
and make some noise in the neigh
borhood, and attract attention by his
cheerful cries. He needed the ad-,
spirit, self confidence
that could make himself heard.
They had to know how to please
and meet all types of people. The
short, they knew how to deal with
he world. They had acquired gifts
which many highly educated boys
never get in their sheltered lives.
No wonder the club man said he saw
some future rulers of the country in,
hat bunch.

LEADERSHIP

] hA
American community life provides
this somewhat strange contradiction,
that while different sections of ,peo-
pie are a good deal; alike in charac-
ter, yet there is an enormous diff
ference in communities. Some cities
end towns are hustling and progress
sive, some are slow and sleepy.
Yet if a group of energetic and
confident people went. into one of
these slow and sleepy places, the
chances are strong that they would
transform it in few years. They
would find difficulty in rousihg the
people from their ancient indiffer-
enee. There would be much croak-
ing and knocking at first.
Yet there is in most people some
desire to see their communities go
ahead. If group of people in a
disorderly village, should go about
that place asking people to have a
Clean-Up day and get rid of the rub
bish that disfigured their homes, the
chances are that ,two-thirds of the
people who were thus solicited
would join the movement. They
would hate to- fall behind and fail
to keep up with their neighbors.
People hate to take the lead in
hings, they hate to feel that things
are depending on them. But if some
one else will lead, the rest will gen
orally follow. 81. -.
What most. communities need then,
to obtain business progress and com
munity improvement, is leadership.
They need group of people who
will take the lead, start things, and
organize movements and carry them
on. After such movements are start
ed, and are pushed steadily, they are
apt to be successful. ..I
How can our towns obtain more
leadership? Well, one way to get it,
is to encourage the people who do
start things. Give them some ap-
preciation and recognition, and
avoid needless knocking. Milford 4
needs this particular effort made
right now to purchase the Holland
home and lands for a central park
and community centre. Do it now!

SLAUGHTER BEACH.

as %t -
Our resort has been slow this
summer to have much social activi-
ties. Perhaps the weather has had
something to do with that, but now
, the parties are little more numer-
Gus. AS we look forward Big Thurs
day is almost here and too soon af-
ter that people are leaving for home
to have the children enter school
At the best there are only few
more weeks to enjoy the things here
SO. we ought to crowd each days with
good fun.
Fish are plentiful again. On We'd
nesday morning William Pierce
caught six bushels in his net and
there were no buyers to take them
so the beach was well supplied, the
residents getting the first chance
to purchase them.
DR.. William Marshall, Mrs. George
w. Marshall and Miss r. Mabel Bow
ser came to the beach on Sunday
morning on DR.. Marshall's boat and
took a party of young people aboard
for a trip down the bay. The waves
were a little high for trip to
Lewes so the time was spent off
shore. The only excitement of the
day was when Stephen Draper fell
over board. Stevie is a good little
swimmer, so the deep water had no
terrors for him, and he put into
practice the lessons he had been
taught for two summers by the Red
Cross instructor, until a boat could
come to his rescue. The other guests
were Barbara Marshall Dorothy
Pierce, Angie Frazer, and Donnan
: Mr.. and Mrs. Dale Henderson, of
Baltimore, were guests of the Pierce
family on Thursday and Friday of
last week, at the Primrose cottage.
On Thursday evening Mrs. Harry
Jester gave a hot dog roast in hon
or of Mrs. Henderson. The Hender-
sons were here last year for several
weeks and made many friends who
were glad to see them again.
Angie Frazer, of Detroit, Mich,
was the guest of Dorothy Pierce the
latter part of last week. This week
she is visiting her cousin, Barbara
who gave a marshmallow
roast for her on Tuesday evening.
Mrs. Walter Grier, Mrs. Frank r,
Grier and Logan Grier were dinnerl
guests of DR.. and Mrs. Willard Pierce
0n Sunday. Mrs. Clara Pierce is
spending a few days as their guest.
Miss Caroline Sharp, of Harring-
on, has been the guest of her niece,
Mrs. William Griffin.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Fisher, two
daughters and son, of Baltimore,
we're weekend guests of Mrs. A. H.
Jattell. ..-...t ..-

noes.

MEMS AND MOMEN,S SHOES

The last census showed that wo-
men bought $42O,OOO,OOO of shoes in
year, while the men only bought
$312,OOO,OOO. Yet the men probably
walk quite as much as the women.
Women's' shoe bill is increased by
the demand of the sex for novelties
of style. Women will buy pretty
and stylish shoes before their old
ones are worn out.
In the days of long skirts, many
women used to feel that their old
and shabby shoes were concealed
Long skirts may be the style for
formal dresses, but the rest of the
time the lady's foot is still in the
public eye, and she is very proud
of that foot. The shoemaker who
can make it look more beautiful is
headed for Easy street.

attention. 1t will get more notice
than some event in the political
world.
Here one can see how many busi-
ness concerns have gone on. to large
success. They appealed to the pop
ular hunger for news. They told
what they were doing in their stores,
what goods they were offering, and
what they cost. The public regard
ed it as just as interesting as any
news in the paper, people read it
eagerly, they were influenced to visit
the store and see these goods, they
bought them, and the firm went on
to large success.
Milford chronicle., 1931-08-07
COMMrNITY COMPETITION

Some people keep claiming that
the competitive idea in industry does
not work out well. But the majority
of our folks want to see it main
tanned. They think that competition
stirs peoples ambition and energy,
and that a town where there is COM
petition between business men, is
usually a better place to buy goods
in than one where there is none.
1t is the same as between com
munities. 1t is well for them to
compete with each other. 1t is a
good idea for them to resolve not to
be outdone, and not to let other
places get ahead of them. If we
have that spirit in Milford we shall
not fail to obtain the advantages to
which we are fairly entitled on our
community record.
Milford chronicle., 1931-08-07
THE HUNGER FOR NEWS

In studying the psychology of
business success, one has to exam
inc the strong desire which people
feel to know about the latest thing
that has happened. People want
news. The newspaper business,
with its vast amount of capital and
with its thousands of daily and
weekly journals, is built around this
ardent popular hunger to know the
latest news. 4a s.. -
This hunger for news is not con-
fined to important and sensational
events. It. relates also to the hap
penings of daily life. People are as
much or more interested to learn
about the doings of their neighbors,
as they. are to learn about congress
and the state Legislature. e.
This hunger for news does not
stop with events and personalities.
1t is particularly strong on anything
that relates to the expenditure of
money. The effective use of income
is a subject that touches people so
closely, that they are very keenly
interested in anylnews item that will
help them save money. ~
They read in some newspaper an
advertisement stating that such and
such a store has bought a certain
lot of goods at low price, and is
making a special feature of this
Now there is an ar
ticle of news that really interests
them. They will read it with keen

TO MAKE BUSINESS GROW

1t is a general rule in most cities,
that the larger stores advertise
freely. 1t is unsuual when a non
advertised store acquires large size,
or does a specially hustling bust
ness. If such store does get a lot
of business, it is usually because of
some exceptional circumstances that
can not be depended on in most
cases.
The lesson of the above truth
should not be lost on business men.
If they want to grow, if they want
the increased profits that come from
a greater volume of trade, the way
is open to them to get it through
advertising.
