GREETING CARDS

What mean those little holiday
greeting cards, of which you re-
ceive so many here in Milford? Are
they just bits of engraved cardboard,
with machine made sentiments
picked out of quotation book? Are
they sent with as little feeling as
when you pay bridesmaids bill?
Some cards may be so sent, the
expression of our too stiff manners.
But in the main these pretty mis-
sives signify that in these busy and
hustling days, there is still shrine
of memory and affection, in which
are held dear the old recollectiOns.
Though friends may be separated
by thousands of miles, though the
cares of life may make the days too
busy to renew the old intimacies, yet
these cards say that back in the
hearts of these people, there is a
flame alight, kindled by former ties,
which it is proposed to cherish al
ways.
Milford chronicle., 1932-12-23
RANK ASSETS

When the United State treasury
offered $250,OO0,000 one year .certifi-
Gates to the public few days ago
with interest at the rate of only
three-fourths of one per cent a year,
the issue was over subscribed 1G
times. And yet not long ago, some
| issues of government bonds were
selling TO net over four per cent.
This desire for securities that will
be absolutely safe, even if they pay
so very little interest, is the result
of the panicky feeling developed
when the depositors of thousands of
banks demanded their money right
away quick. It led bankers every
where to feel that they must have
their assets in such shape that they
could get a large part of their
funds in cash at once, regardless
whether they get any considerable
interest or not.
Here we can see a condition that
is tying up business everywhere
and it must be cured before we can
have good business. If bankers feel
that they must have their money in
such investments that they can pro-
duce a great mountain of cash all at
once, naturally they aren't going to
lend their money to build houses
with, or to finance factory opera
tion, or to enable merchants to pur-
chase goods. ,...-.
The public has greatly accentuat-
ed this situation, by runs ON many
banks that were perfectly sound. A
bank may have large part of its
money in excellent assets, which are
worth 100 cents on a dollar and
much more than that. But if the
bank had To sell those assets all at
once, it might have to take a large
loss.
We need new systems of banking
regulation that shall require greater
caution in managing financial insti-
tutions, so that the public will not
have reason to become alarmed
about its deposits. But the public
must get into a calmer temper of
mind, and not force sound institu-
lions into bankruptcy by unreason-
able demands.

MEMORIES OF CHRISTMAS

If ballot were to be taken as to
which is the most popular holiday,
which one would get the votes
Would it be July Fourth with all its
noise and picnics? Would it be
Thanksgiving with its gorgeous
feasts?
Only one guess is necessary on
this election. 1t would of course be
good old Christmas. That is the
one that fingers the most in our
memories, to which the most imag-
ination clings, which brings back
most clearly the faces of the past,
which presents the most vived pic
ture of scenes that were brightest.
The tumults of July Fourth, the
sports of Labor Day, the fat birds of
Thanksgiving, are soon forgotten.
But those tender scenes of Christ
mas, how they linger in the mind!
Those old pictures bring back the
faces of dear old friends who have
marched on before, parents, grand
parents, many others, who deprived
themselves of things they needed,
that they might load up old Santa
with the things we had dreamed of
but could not provide for ourselves.
What scenes of family jOllity
come back in those galleries of MEM
Ory! Loved persons now silent
were then bubbling over with gaiety
and fun, waking the homes with
their laughter, playing tricks and
joining with the children in kid
games, finding youth again after the
lapse of long years of toll and anx-
iety.
What is it in Christmas that thus
turns labor and anxiety into -merri-
ment and forgetfulness of unhappy
thought? Clearly it is but one
thing, that for a day we acquire the
giving spirit. Instead of striving
for ourselves, we begin to think of
other folks, and what would make
them happy Our whole lives might
thus acquire this more buoyant
spirit here in Milford, if we would
carry the Christmas idea into the
other days of the year.

time. There will be homemade ice

favorable for a white Christmas.
Now is the time when we should
look around us and see if we can't
help some one less fortunate than
ourselves. We some time think we
have tough time, but everyone has
something to share, if it's only a
crust and a cup of cold water given
in his name (Jesus) is not given
in vain.

come.
