WATER. - WATER - WATER

We. are facing a water famine in
Milford unless the consumers are
more careful of the use of water for
lawn and garden.
A sprinkler running for hours at
a time in one spot is waste of wa
Ger as we'll as a detriment to vege-
tation.
An inspection will be made each
day and evening and where sprink-
lers are used unnecessarily the con-
sumer will be notified to stop the
practice or" service will be discon-
tinued. .r.
We in Milford must depend on
deep wells for our water and the
supply in normal weather and under
normal use is sufficient for all pur-
poses.. But in severe hot dry wealth
er when folks are careless in the
use of water the demand exceeds
the supply, so restrictive measures
must be taken to insure water pres
sure at all times for fire protection
and necessary household purposes.
The Light and Water Commission,
therefore, respectfully request all
water consumers to be saving of
water during the dry weather so
that restrictive measures will not be
necessary.

NJ. P. CHURCH NOTES

On Friday evening last our super
intendents, Mr.. and Mrs. Roy Steel
man, very delightfully."- entertained
the Sunday school teachers and Of
ficers of the church. They made
suggestions as to how the Sunday
school could be made stronger Mr..
Steelman and Rev. Archer sang sew
eral selections, and George Baker
played his mouth organ, which was
enjoyed by all. Refreshments were
served in abundance after a late
hour they all departed, wishing
Brother Roy much success in his
new work.
Inspite of the warm weather Sun
day there was a good attendance,
both in the afternoon and evening.
Rev. Archer very ably delivered the
sermon on Mother, Home and
Heaven" 1t was grand. Next Sun
day evening he will use as his dis
course, Songs of Long Ago" There
is great meaning in songs. These
Old-time songs are full of the gos-
pei. l think we should keep them
in remembrance, we should keep
them sacred, the songs our fathers
and mothers used to sing, the praises
of God they are just the same today.
Pride today is one of the things
that causes people to grieve the
Dear Lord and His Holy Spirit. Why
should we change in our ways when
the Dear Lord is ever the same, now
and forever more. Come out to the
class meeting Wednesday night.
There you can join in these old
time songs and your soul will be re-
freshed and you will go home with
a song on your lips and song in
your heart. 1t will give you some
thing to think about. Come out, we |
need your help. A welcome awaits |
you.

SYMBOLS OF SUMMER


The crowning event of the week
of swimming lessons was on Satur-
day when a water carnival, with all
the participants of the week, who
cared to, taking part. 1t was gala
time for the young and the older
girls and boys. Good clean sports
manship was evident in every event,
and the prizes went to the best
swimmers and divers. The gallery
took part when it urged its own
particular favorite to a better effort
to win. 1t, the gallery, was especial
ly in evidence, when the platform on
which the starter and the judges of
the races gave away letting three of
them in the water without any prep
arations for bath. The good sports
manship even extended to them, for
they took their "ducking" in a gra-
cious way. Each year the desire to
know how to swim becomes greater
so the Red Cross fills the order very
we'll by these lessons that they pro-
vide.

or other prepared material can be
repaired to give years of satisfac-
tory service by treating them with a
reliable roof-dressing. There are
several prepared roof-dressing ma
terials on the market today with a
wide range of prices, and most of
these materials are made of asphalt
and asbestos which offer very good
protection against all kinds of
weather if properly applied.
The prepared roof-dressing comes
in cans ready to apply, while the
plain asphalt must be melted and
applied to the roof while it rs hot.
Before applying this material, how
ever, all holes in the roof must be
patched with metal, burlap or roof
ing paper, and then spread the hot
asphalt quickly and evenly over the
surface. One drum of this asphalt is
sufficient to cover an area 20 feet by
100 feet, and it may be purchased
from some of the refining companies
where it is sold under different trade
names.

CHILDREN FIRST

In the face of danger or distress on sinking ship we would strike down anyone who attempted to save himself at the expense of a child Children come first not only on sink ing ships but in our hearts, our homes, our schools, and our church- es. They are first. The race can save itself-can lift itself higher only as children are lifted up
 In this unique period depression with its extreme want on the ons side and its extreme fortunes on the other, many schools are carried down to disaster-their doors clos ed-their funds cut off. Boards of education and other public of ficials are often hard pressed if nancially, but they cannot afford to give up the idea of children first.
 To do justice by the child it is necessary to do justice by the childs teacher. Teachers have never had full justice Their salaries have always been low compared with their training and their heavy re- responsibilities. They have never

SCHOOL NOTES

Fire drills in the grade school demonstrate that the building can be cleared in twenty-foun seconds.
 The quarter holiday for best at tendance was won by the second and third grades, to their great surprise. An epidemic of faithless alarm clocks had almost ruined their prospects. Illustrating the total depravity of inanimate things. the clocks would probably fail arousing the worthy heads of families from peaceful slumbers in time to win out in the race with the remorseless bell of Mir. Goodrich.
 The sixth grade also had their trials and difficitions in their ef- forts for a good record of attendance and the situation was saved from utter ruin only by the unexpected entrance of the chief delinquent into the bonds of matrimony.
 No such miracle coming to the aid of other rooms, the pupils were forced to content themselves with black looks and more or less yelled innuendoes directed at the guilty parties.
 From present appearances there will be pretty stiff competition for the next quarter holiday.
 During the past month. the Red Cross paid for milk for 49 children, and ten others paid for their own. This month fourteen children are paying for milk The Red Cross project being discontinued.
