THEY BORROWED MONEY

Publication of the loans made by
the Reconstruction Finance Corpor-
alton to banks. building loan asso-
Citations and others has served to
satisfy the curiosity of lot OF peo-
pie. President Hoover and Atlee
Pomerene, Chairman of the Corpor-
alton were opposed to this publicity
provision forced into the bill by
Speaker Garner.
Government and banking officials
have been emphasizing the fact that
the money borrowed from the Gov
ernment by banks and others was
backed up by ample securities.
Banks throughout the country,
through the money they have bOr-
rowed from the Government, have
been able to loosen up their credit
facilities to the benefit of their COM
munities. Evidently the fear that
banks would be weakened when it
became known that they had bor-
rowed from the Government is prov
ing groundless. The different COM
munities have been quick to under
stand how their banks have tried to
help them and they apparently are
encouraged that the Government is
with them in such a practical way.

FOR OUR CORRESPONDENTS
WHO WRITE NEWS LETTERS

1t is always best to tell the stOr!
in fewest words to make clear the
facts, without a personal comment
as to the item. The space saved il
many instances, will make room fol
other news items in your, or Other
news letters from other points. Tel
the dates and places and just facts
Here is an illustration:
The. correspondent wrote, Born
a baby girl" We cut out the word
baby" because we felt pretty sure
it couldn't be anything else if it was
just born. For similar cause we al
so try to head off the expression
widow woman" Lifelong observa-
tion is that widows are always wO-
men. If the exception to the rule
ever develops, it will be whale OF
a story.
Each of our correspondents are
appreciated for the services they
give the Milford Chronicle through
their letters, and some have been
with the Chronicle over forty years,
and their letters are seldom read
until set into type for the papers
columns; as we know that their
judgment as to what is news, and
how it should be presented is right.
This has come after long training.
1t would be fine if all would group
personal" mention on one page of
manuscript, and write a short
heading of more important items,
and use either a pen and ink, or
black pencil for writing-it is much
more easy for typesetters to read
and saves time. Then paragraphs
are just fine for the man working at
a typesetting machine in a hot at
mosphere as they save him time in
handling copy.
There are forty-five who write
news from the several points in low
er Delaware for the Chronicle each
week, and to arrange all letters
would be a task indeed; but nearly
all of the fine young women and
men, are learning by experience,
and the work of editing is less than
might be expected.
We appreciate our corps of writ
ers, and know that all desire to
make their letters desirable.
Here is what Charles A. Dana, one
of the masters in journalism says
on this subject:
"a journalist must be an all
around man. He must know whether
the theology of the parson is sound,
whether the physiology of the doctor
is genuine, whether the law of the
lawyer is good law or not. His edu-
cation, accordingly, should be ex-
ceedingly extensive. If possible, he
should be sent to college. He must
learn everything the college has to
teach; but, what is more important,
he should be sent to the school of
practical life and of active and ac-
tual business. He must know a great
many things and the better he
knows them the better he will be in
his profession. There is no chance
for an ignOramus."

BANKS OUT OF TROUBLE

Official information at Washington
shows that there are very few bank
failures and that those institutions
that were solvent and were compel
led to close their doors early in the
year are reopening for the purpose
of continuing their business, or liq-
uidating their affairs. Thousands of
banks have been saved by the Re
construction Finance Corporation.
The Corporation merely lends to
banks and takes over some of their
collateral securities, thus relieving
the banks from shortage of ready
money, due to the depression. The
Government gives nothing to the
banks, as many people seem to sup
pose.

Awaiting the sound of familiar feet.

The marvellous glory of morning

For a manly form with a steady
stride
Drew near to the gate that opened
wide
AS the boy sprang forward and joy
ously cried,
Papa's cOming!"
The wasted face of a little child
Looked out at the window with eyes
made wild
By the ghostly shades in the falling
light
And the glimpse of drunk man in
the night,
Cursing and reeling from side to
side.
The poor boy, trembling and trying
to hide,
Chung to his mothers skirt and
sighed,

PARAMOUNT THEATRE

Spencer Tracy has never driven a
submarine, but that is only because
, ne has not yet gotten around to it.
The popular favorite, who came to
the screen from the Broadway stage,
where he created the powerful role of
Killer Mears in The Last Mile" has
appeared in seven talking pictures.
and in six of them he had to learn
how to drive some new type of vehicle.
In Quick Millions" Tracy had to
maneuver a ten-ton truck through the
heavily congested city streets. In
"Goldie' he took the wheel of a big
tramp freighter on the trip between
Los Angeles Harbor and San Diego.
In "Sky Devils he piloted a large
plane. In IS Cylinder Love" he drove
a big touring car through board
fence and in She Wanted A Million
aire" he took the throttle of a big
Southern Pacific locomotive, and be-
| came fairly expert at it.
In his latest Fox picture, "Disord-
erly Conduct" in which he is CO.
starred with that delightful heroine of
Bod Girl' and Dance Team" Sally
Eilers, and Ell Brendel and which op-
ems its local engagement at the Para
mount Theatre, Tracy had to spend
couple of preparatory weeks astride
a motorcycle to qualify for his role
OF speedcop, and if advance reports
are to be believed he handles the
snorting tWo-wheeler with consider
able adeptnesS. To date the actor
has not tried his hand at submarine
or speed-boating, but expects he will
be called upon soon to round out his
plotting experience on either or both
of these craft.

1--WE commend the president for

t, aid the millions of American
farmers who, in 1880 were stricken
with nationwide drouth and es-
pecially for the prompt and liberal
financing assistance provided to the
many thousands of farmers in North
Dakota, South Dakota and Montana,
who in 1881, became victims of a
sweeping drouth no less severe than
that which occurred in the south and
east in 1880.
"While the Hawley-Smoot tariff
bill passed by congress in 1880 and
approved by the president, does not
afford agriculture that full measure
of protection needed in the present
economic emergency, nevertheless,
its duties on various agricultural
products subject to foreign compe-
tition such as flax, livestock, dairy
products, wool, spring wheat, ETC.,
are about 80 per cent higher than
those in any previous tariff law, and
therefore, has afforded measure of
protection for such products in this
crisis without which such products
undoubtedly would have suffered
severely from foreign competition.
Notwithstanding the Hawley-
Smoot tariff act, American agricul-
ture, and particularly the dairy in
dustry. is suffering severely from
imports from the Philippines. This
condition should be corrected. In
order to adequately protect Ameri-
can agriculture, we recommend con-
gress supplement the existing tariff
law by providing duties on all ar-
ricultural commodities imported
from the Philippine Islands which
compete with the products of Ameri-
can farmers in the American market.

Although substantial saving Of
