People In Lower Delaware Have
Many Things to Be Thankful For
Just at the present time there
seems to be sort of a whispering
going on, especially in the |
large cities and cOngested areas, |
that this government is going to |
pieces and the monetary system is
going with it. Children are being |
brought to hate the government be-
cause their parents are without |
work. This only shows how un-
and forgetful republics are
Of all the many blessings and pro-
lection. OF course everybody has
their difficulties with finances, the
individuals goes to make up Uncle
Sans. His is precisely like ours,
only multiplied 120 million times.
Just have a little more patience. 1t
is not our place to tear down or de-
strop this governmental for it's sys-
.em of governing and economics is
sound. This gives us an opportunity
20 replace old and unsatisfactory
with new.

ERNEl

PEOPLE do not commonly, realize
that they are the ones who make a
town what it is. 1t is too often Gus
tomary to look at a community as
something made by past influences
and habits, which present inhabi-
tants have little to do with. On the
contrary, the character of town is
the direct reflection of the activities
and ideas of it's present inhabitants.
If they are interested to make their
town one of the best in Delaware it
will become so. If they are apa-
thetic and indolent, their town will
make no progress. A small group
of active people who are willing to
take the lead in measures of busi-
ness and community improvement,
can make a town so different in a
few years that old timers would
scarcely recognize it.

TTI PLEASANT information tba-

1T is PLEASANT information that
was given to the stockholders of the
First National Bank and Trust Com
pany of Milford, and the Milford
Trust Company at their annual meet
ings this week. The reports sub
mitted show that both institutions
are on a exceptional sound finan-
cial basis and that those RESPONSE
BILE for their management have been
guiding their charges with excellent
judgment during the past year, dur
ing which banks in all sections of
the nation have succumber to the
depressed business conditions. The
reports made to the stockholders of
both banks show clearly that they
have earned the regular dividends,
have paid for all depreciation and
that the directors have been able to
set over to the Undivided Profits ac-
counts very substantial amounts of
cash.
The two Milford banks have GER
tainly given ample proof Of their
value to the community as a careful
reading of their reports will prove.
Not only are the banks and their
officials to be congratulated, but the
citizens residing within our trade
territory are to be felicitated upon
having within their midst two such
safe and worthy banking institutions
through which to transact their bust
ness.

VIVIAN ApYERTISING HAS DONE

The autumnal and holiday season
just closed has been marked in the
retail trade field, by very. heavy ad-
vertising, at least in the larger cities.
The merchants of those big towns
have outdone themselves to tell the
public about their goods. Full page
advertisements, costing larg e
amounts of money, have been COM
mon, and a host of concerns have
spent money for advertising much
more literally than usual.
This enterprising work can be
taken as the principal reason why
holiday trade has come out as we'll
as it has. In spite of business de-
preston, the volume of holiday
trade appears to be fully up to the
average. If the value measured in
dollars has fallen, that is not a fair
test, since prices are lower. The
vital fact is that the American peo-
pie have consumed as many of those
store goods as usual. This means
increased orders for the factories,
and will help greatly toward Great
ing a business boom.
This result could never have been
achieved, had it not been for liberal
The merchants have
gone ahead on the principle that a
time when business is slow is the
very time when advertising is the
most needed. AS a result the people
have flocked to their stores.
In many communities where retail
concerns complain of poor business,
the real trouble has been the failure
to advertise. The stores had plenty
of good bargains, but the public did
not realize their existence. People
have to be shown that it is for their
advantage to buy. Those that have
been so shown have unloosed many |
boarded dollars.
Advertising is one of the principal
forces tending to start up business.
Those who fail to take advantage of
L will have no ground for complaint,
f their trade runs slow for the rest
If the winter.

EXPENSES CAN BE REDUCED

The nationwide demand that gov
ernment expenses be reduced is hav-
ing its effect. The members of Con-
gress are impressed by it. The State
Legislatures, in so far as they meet
this winter, feel the same demand.
Many municipal governments will
manage to get their costs down.
But when once the Federal gov
ernment, state, county, or city, is
committed to a certain expense for a
certain service, it is like pulling
teeth to get that cost reduced. 1t is
regarded as a fixed charge, much
like the interest on a bond.
But people do not regard their per-
sonal expenses in that light. If
man who has had an income of $3,-
900 year, suddenly finds the same
reduced to $4,000, he cuts his ex-
penses to match, that is he does so if
he has good judgment If the re-
duction of income is only temporary,
he may be justified in continuing to
spend on his old scale. Some unfor-
tunate folks have already cut to the
point of severe deprivation, and
even then, many of these pathetic
folks manage to cut off a few things
more. But it remains true that in
their personal affairs, thrifty people
can usually manage to buy less ex-
pensive food, clothing, furniture,
they run their automobiles longer,
or on a smaller mileage. Somehow
they manage to get their living costs
down.
The Federal government, the
States, and the cities could as a rule
do the same thing if they would. The
people Of many cities will say, that
the public services they demand are
so vital, that they would rather save
anywhere else. They prefer to pay
high taxes rather than sacrifice these
services. If so, they have that privi-
lege.
From Is to 20 per cent of the ma
tional income is now being paid for
the cost of all forms of government,
where only about six per cent was
paid for government costs in 1918.
This increase is disproportionate,
and it suggests that many forms of
public expenditure should be re-
duced.

is done by two private concerns, the Park
Amusement Co. and the Welfare and Recre-
ational Association. The former is a conces-
sionaire working under a contract with
the director of public building and public
parks which retains the right to fix the amount
of the fees charged the public. This concern
conducts the four golf courses described above
with their putting green's and practice fields.
The system thus used by the Government for
putting the golf grounds within the reach of
the average man and woman has been found
satisfactory, since the Federal authorities do
not lose any of their power of control and the
men directly in touch with the public are not
Government officials, but business operatives
seeking to insure continued pubic patronage
and public enjoyment.
Few persons among the thousands who are
indebted to the Welfare and Recreational
Association for the promotion and develop
ment of many OF the recreational opportunities
know that this is the unique corporation of
its kind 1t is the private corporation
which pays all of its income to the Treasury
of the United States, which disburses for its
bills with Government checks, buys on Govern
ment contract prices, turns over all profits to
the Government and never has a penny of
office housed under a Government roof which
does not fear economy legislation and pay cuts.
1t has an Office and personnel in the Navy Build

lie grounds but it must be self-sustaining it

benevolent societies in 1927 and arose from
the need to make money to take care Of the
welfare work among the employees Of the
Public Buildings and Public Grounds Onhces.
1t filled such a need so well that two years
later it began depositing money in the United
States Treasury instead of in its own bank
account and now 1t is audited by Government
accountants Besides operating those public
recreational units not under the Park
Amusement Co. contract, this body conducts
the Pierce Mil Tea House and the one In
East Potomac Park and restaurants In
several Government departments. 1t Is this
organization which Is introducing the electric
boats on the Tidal Basin. The speed boats
going about Hams Point usually handled
by private concession, the Down Town Parking
Co. having had the last one listed in the 1891
annual report.
Swimming which Is always Spring and
Summer top liner in most cities, is as yet
mainly dependent on private pools in Washing
ton except for the two operated by the Well
fare Association for the Government. Congress
has passed bill authorizing six pools, scattered
in different sections of the city, rather than
one large downtown bathing place. In the
Judgment OF the recreational authorities, this
Is better for the public, as the decentralized
pools are more accessible for the various
neighborhoods, especially where the children
plan to attend, and easier to handle from
the standpoint Of first aid and life guard than
the large central pool. Two of these places
have been built and put into use. one at Mo-
Kinley, for white patrons and the other at
Francis Junior High School for colored users
Last year the Mckinley pool had 1896
bathers, while the other one had 81 ,686 bathers
for the same period. 1t Is not known when
the remaining four will be built but owing to
unsettled financial conditions nowadays, It is
hardly likely that they will be started this year.
just now, the Anacostia Riverside Park
project is being finished along the lines
originally planned for it, with a remodeled
field house and many Identification features
already accomplished. The nine-hole nolf
course is to be extended to an 18-hole stretch.
There is already splendid base ball diamond
installed and a quoit and croquet court. Enough
land is at hand in the Anacostia field to permit
OF large future development which may,
through the medium of the automobile, relieve

GRAND JURY CONFINES
 AT ANCHORAGE MONDAY

A grand jury will convene at An chorage Monday to hear a number of criminal cases among which is the case of the U. s. vs. Martha Ar mott, who is charged with first de- gree murder in the killing of her husband at Strelna early in Sep tember of 1880. This case was tried at Cordova but the jury hung on bringing in a verdict after winch it was discharged by the court.
 This, it is thought, will be Judge Hills last term of court in the Third Division, it being understood that he will leave late next month for the Fourth Division where he recently received a transfer.
 Most of the cases on the calen- dar originated at Anchorage and, in the main, are larceny cases. There will also be a evil calendar: the tral jury convenes May IS.

 FOR SEASONS KILL

The Alaska whaling fleet, con- sisting of four killer" boats, the Aberdeen, Westport, Paterson and Moran, sailed last week from their Lake Washington wharf at Belle vue to start the summers opera tions in the Boring sea and Arctic ocean in search of the giant mann malS.
 About 100 men will be employed in whaling this year, the Ameri- can Pacific Whaling Company, owners of the fleet, said of this number, 35 sailed to man the com pany'S station at Port Hebron, on Kodiak Island. The others will be divided between the boats of the killer fleet.
 This is the first whaling cruise for Seattle since 1880. The fleet will work as far north as Point Barrow, farthest north settlement under the American flag. Point Barrow is a creation of the whal- ing fleets of olden days, when it was used as coaling station.
