SCIENCE AND LIES

A report on questions of conduct
made to the American Association
for Advancement of Science, said
that women tell more white lies"
than men. The men, it is said, are
more apt to speak frankly, while the
women are inclined to gloss over
the truth to make people feel more
comfortable. The scientists should
tell us which attitude is more nearly
right.
The disposition of the men to
speak more frankly does not prob
ably come so much from the fervor
of their devotion to the truth, as
from a tendency to ignore the hap
piness of other persons. And one
fears that the efforts of the women
to make people feel comfortable
through minor falsehoods, is not al
ways due to their deep sympathy, so
much as to a desire to make them
selves socially agreeable.

1891 IN MILFORD

One more year in the history of
Milford has passed, and we can well
take account of stock, and see what
gains 1881 has brought us. Our
people have not been exempt from
the business troubles that have
plagued the country, but they have
manifested a fine spirit and energy,
an dthe recovery that is sure to
come soon, should give our COM
munity a position on a higher level.
We have turned out some fine
young people in our schools during
the year. Our churches, fraternal
and social and community organiza-
tions, have made life more satisfac-
tory in our community. Our city was
never so good a place to live in as
it is today. If we show the spirit
of cooperation with the commun-
ity, we should do many useful things
in 1882. Our change in city manage
ment shall be very helpful.

FEDERAL CONTROL OF EDUCA,
TTON

Opposition to any increase of the
power of the federal government
over education was expressed by the
national advisory committee on edu-
cation, which has recently reported
to President Hoover. This commit
tee, however, favors creating a ma
tional secretary of education, and
giving such an official a seat in the
presidents, cabinet. 20.
A good many people maintain that
the federal government should have
closer control over education in
the various states. 1t is complained
that education in many states and
localities is backward and poorly
supported, and it is claimed that
only by closer federal supervision
and additional financial assistance,
can the children of all the states get
an even chance.
But if the federal government is
more generous in handing out edu-
cational money to the states, it will
demand a stricter control over edu-
cation in all localities to which it
contributes. So if the states get
more money out of the federal gov
ernment, they will have to submit
to closer supervision.
1t is doubtful if there are many
states that would give up their own
control over their schools, in return
for more federal money. They would
feel that they have clearer idea as
to the needs of their own children
than any federal authority would
have.
The federal government is a long
way off from the people of the va
rious states, and it is not responsive
to local demands. If people find
some policy in their own state
wrong, they get it changed without
too much trouble by their own state
government. But asking the federal |
government to change it's policies is
often seeking the impossible. The !
general impression in Delaware will |
be that each state should take care
of its own schools.
Milford chronicle., 1932-01-08
WHY NOT OWN A HOME9

Delegates have been in Washing
ton from every state in the United
States, to attend conference on
home building and ownership. The
President of the United States has
urged that some finance plan be
adopted, so that it will become more
easily possible for people to acquire
home, paying for it on instalments.
1t seems likely that great home
building movement will start from
this meeting. Such a development
would be a wonderful boost to bust
ness, which has suffered as much
from stagnation in the building
trades as from any one cause.
Many people dislike to own a
house, because they want to be free
to move from place to place. These
are rowing times, when the family
that today lives in Seattle, Wash
ington, may be down in Miami, Fla,
within a short time, and so ON
through every conceivable change
of location.
The Arabs used to be called a
nomadic and wandering tribe, but
our folks are getting just as rest
less. There are some PRISONS who
owing to their occupations, must
hold themselves in readiness to
change their residence at any time.
But for the great majority, the best
thing they can do is to settle down
where they are for a term of years
or for life If they do, the quicker
they start owning their own home,
and stopping payment of rent, the
better off they will be.
When one rents a house, you not
merely pay the owner for the use
of his property, but you engage him
to watch over the same and perform
certain services for you, which the
occupant should be energetic and
enough to perform for
himself.
When the occupant becomes an
owner, and learns to make his minor
repairs and look after his property,
he saves the cost of having someone
else do that. In the long run it is a
money saving proposition to own a
home, particularly when the same
can be bought at the very low prices
now prevailing here in Delaware.
Milford chronicle., 1932-01-08
HIT AND RuN nRIYERS

History tells us about the famous
conflict of Saint George and the
Dragon. If Saint George were
around here today, the police of any
city would set him to work captur-
ing and putting his feet on the necks
of the hit and run drivers, who are
more of curse and a menace than
any dragons ever were in ancient
days.
Police officers remark that the
number of automobile drivers who
hit people and then shedaddle in the
most brutal way, is increasing. 1t
is remarked that the majority of
such drivers are violating the law
in some way, which tends to aggra-
vate their Offense.
1t seems inconceivable that mo-
torists can be so heartless as to
knock people over and then run
away, careless whether they have
taken someone's life or not. The
person hurt may need instant medi-
cal care, which the one responsible
should do his utmost to provide.
Automobile accidents happen so
Unexpectedly, that it takes a moment
or two for the onlookers to recover
their wits and consider what should
be done. By the time the dazed spec
tators recover their senses, the hit
and run driver may be out of sight.
One thing that would help identi-
fly these dangerous pests, would be
to require automobile license plates
to show much larger figures which
could be read at a greater distance.
Such a plan might be detrimental to
the drivers of automobiles. But any
thing that would curb the reckless
drivers would make the roads of
Delaware look more beautiful to
many of its citizens.
Managers of football games, real
lzing that the spectators wish to
Identify the players, put numbers on
the backs of their sweeters big en-
1ugh to be read across the football
gridiron. The reasons for identify
ing the hit and run drivers are more
Urgent than those for distinguishing |
he football players.

1892 IS 19s3's "LAsT YEAR"

The New Year, whether it be rep
resented in our imaginations as an
infant in swaddling clothes or an
infant strutting forth in very grown
up and sophisticated attire, still
represents to all of us in common
New Opportunity. After all, what a
blessed thing is a new start; a put
ting off the old for the new. 1t was
surely wisely written that we should
live not in the past but for today and
tomorrow.
That word tomorrow is a potent
one. Yet it has been abused by the
generations. Too many of us un-
dOubtedly have unnecessarily sad
thoughts, do unnecessarily unfortu-
nate things TODAY, believing all
the while that TOMORROW we shall
think and do differently. We forget
the ever new fact that TODAY is
TOMORROW.
Strength should be ours in re-
memberin gthat 1882 will become

THE DIARY KEEPERS

How many people are there now
in Delaware who keep an old-fash-
ioned diary, a record of personal
happenings and experience? The
stores sell many blank books dated
for this purpose, but one suspects
that people use them mostly for
other purposes, rather than for in
innate personal records as in form
er years. Life is moving at automo-
bile speed nod, and it seems to b.
concerned only with the road ahead,
with the anticipations and fears of
the future.
When we dig out of our attic treas
ures the diaries of personal and fam
lily history as written by our ances-
tors, we find story that would seem
deadly monotonous now, of toilsome
labor, serious thought, little amuse-
ment. And yet people were probably
just as happy then. They did not
have to have some excitement to
thrill them every minute.

WRECKING CHURCHES

The Cathedral of the Redeemer in
Moscow, one of Russia's proudest
churches, seating 10000 people, was
blasted. to ruins few days ago to
make room for a palace of the
soviets". H u n d r d of other
churches in Russie have met a SINH
lar fate.
Are there any people in the
United States who would thus like
to level the churches to dust, or
turn them into theatres or museums? ?
We have our own Communist ele-
ment, who seem to be largely athe-
lists who would feel that the money
spent on churches is worse than
useless. Fortunately the noise made
by this element is'out of proportion
to its numbers or influence.
The Russian Communists say that
the churches divert peoples minds
from social wrongs. Religion is an
opiate for the people" is their mot
to. They hold that the kings and
capitalistic rulers have used relig-
ion as a means of keeping the peo-
pie in subsection, promising them
heaven in a future world, to keep
them from revolving from this
worlds evils.
It is no. doubt true that old fash
ioned religion talked too much about
the future life, and not enough about
the present one. People were once
so concerned in getting ready for
heaven that they neglected their
duties on earth. Modern religious
sentiment has come to see that peo-
pies future will be determined by
their present, those who live a good
life on earth will fare we'll in what
ever future is prepared.
A good church is a place of serv-
ice to the community. It trains
young people to good citizenship and
it comforts men and wo-
men for the sorrows of this world,
and it tries to persuade the people
to seek higher ends than mere mate
rial advantage. Our people can not
the intense bitterness
against religion that is leveling his
toric and beautiful churches to the
dust over in Russia.
Milford chronicle., 1932-01-08
FRESH AIR

Something should be said, while
the winter sun is low on the hori-
zon, providing heat in the temper
ate zone, about the need for fresh
air. Too many people close up their
homes and working places as tight
as a drum, fearing a single breath
of reviving fresh air.
Indoor workers are apt to wear
lighter clothes than formerly, con-
sequently are extremely sensitive to
cold. They breathe the same atmos-
phere over and over, and a little
real oxygen from the wide open
spaces seems to them to come right
from the home of Santa Claus and
the reindeer. Naturally they are
tired and languid long before quit
ting time.
The school teachers will say that
the children will do far better work
if provided with fresh air. Tightly
closed homes mean that people catch
cold very easily, and their parched
noses and throats are too weak to
resist disease germs. Somehow we
must learn to ventilate our homes,
schools, and workshops, if we ex-
pect to do a real days work, and
keep Old Grip Germ where he be-
longs,
