MATING TIME

The month of June is mating time
for many birds. One can see them
gathering twigs and grasses to con-
struct their little dwellings, nursing
their eggs to life, nourishing their
little ones with worm dinners, teach
ing them the act of flight. No more
poetic picture is contained in all
natures art gallery.
Similarly June is mating time
among the young humans. 1t is ira
ditionally the most popular wedding
month. Is it the tabled influence of
the spring time that concentrates all
these sentimental attachments? Is
it that the brides think the month of
flowers the most scrumptious time
for a mating? Who knows what is
in the heart of a bride or bride
groom?
This mating time imposes a pleas
ant but not wholly easy task ON the
newspaper man. He is supposed to
visit these scenes of festivity, view
the artistic decorations and perhaps
witness the fateful ceremony. And
then he is called upon to write an
eloquent story of these high doings.
With all his heart he records the
fruition of Cupid's darts, and his best
hopes go out to the happy pair, but
It is sometimes hard to dig up new
rhetoric for the kind of occasion he
has described so many times before.
The community offers its heartiest |
to the newly welded |
pair. The mysterious attraction that |
lraws men and women together is
he greatest force on our earth. 1t
makes them better workers, it should
'efine character.
Alas, that some young persons
inter this intimate relation on
mere temporary impulse. Little
,ood can be expected from such
Inions. But undertaken with suit
BILE prudence and a willingness to
and adjust differences, it
) the basis of all oNr welfare. Best
fishes to all young folks who enter
he matrimonial state in Milford and
sewhere-especially in Delaware.

NEW CHANCE FOR CITY FOLKS

One of the chief aims of the great
project for developing the valley of
the Tennessee river, which the fed
eral government is about to under
take, is to provide homes and work.
ing opportunities for millions of city
folks.
Through the feverish times of
192O-29, innumerable country peo-
pie migrated to cities. The Tennes-
see valley apparently sent out its
full share. These folks have not
Jared so well. Many of them have
gone back to the little old homes.
Many more would like to go.
If the aim of the new Tennessee
valley project was simply to pro-
vide new competition for farms and
factories located elsewhere, its pros
poets would not be so good. The
farms are already turning out a sur
plus of goods, and the country has
more factories than it really needs.
These new farms and factories which
it is proposed to establish might be
so operated as to largely increase
these already too great surpluses.
But there should be another way.
One can assume that the new head
of the Tennessee valley project, Ar
thur E. Morgan, and his associate
will choose some
such method, so far as it is practical.
That way would be to work for the
creation of a mostly Independent
the people of which
should live principally by supplying
their own needs.
If the farms of that section could
live mostly by supplying the needs
Of the factory villages of that region
for food, and if those factory viii
ages could live principally by sup
plying the needs of that locality for
heir products, then the new devel-
0pments would not compete so much |
with the rest of the country. Such
/ new community should create
desirable chance for city folks to |
escape from the too severe competi |
ion of industrial life in large cities.
Milford chronicle., 1933-06-02
TWO KINDS OF ADVANTAGES

Cities and towns make progress
principally from one of two causes.
First, there is the advantage of a
specially favorable location. A town
with a fine position as a railroad
center, or on some navigable river,
lake, or harbor, has a special adVan-
tage that may lead to marked
growth.
The majority of communities,
however, have no such exceptional
advantages. They are more or less
alike in such respects. The differ
ence between them is that some are
more progressive than others, ready
to accept new ideas and profit by
them, or are more hustling than
others, willing to work harder for
the advantages they desire. Modern
intelligence and the spirit of enter
prise constitute the main forces that
create town progress.

BACCALAUREATE ADVICE

A pleasant old custom assemblies
senior classes of high schools and
colleges at some church shortly be-
fore the graduation. and the minis
ter gives the prospective alumni an
earnest talk about this great turning
point in their lives. A youngster
may be a bit hard boiled, but he
looks at life with many interroga-
tions at this time, and should be in
a mood to listen to words of good
counsel.
What are to be the life aims of
these young people? viii it be just
to grab for money and good times?
Or do they have hopes of rendering
some service to the world? These
are the questions the minister asks.
The young people have acquired a
certain book knowledge, but the
world asks what valuable contribu-
tion they propose TO make to its
life?
Milford chronicle., 1933-06-02
COMMUNITY GOOD WILL

Towns differ tremendously in the
attitude which the people take to-
ward new movements and enter
prises. In some sluggish communi-
ties, many people seem almost
pleased when new enterprises fail.
They seem to fear that somebody
will get ahead and make a dollar.
Or they fear that someone will get
more prominence and popularity
than they think he deserves.
In others, when anyone starts any,
thing, the people all cheer for it.
They are glad if he wins some sue
cess at it, makes some money or ac-
quires prestige by doing something
useful. Only one guess is necessary
to tell which kind of town will be
the one to go ahead.

THE MONTH OF ROSES

They call June the month of roses.
The rose has been called the queen
of flowers. If a vote were taken as
to the most popular blooming plant,
probably the rose would be elected.
Rosy" cheeks were once considered
the symbol of feminine beauty.
Roses have played a great part in
home life. The old-time cottage
usually had its rose bushes, and
their festive blooms solaced the old
folks for their toilsome lives.
Roses thrive best in mild and
sunny climates, but they are sup
posed to grow almost anywhere in
the temperate zone. If gardeners do
not have good luck growing them,
their methods of cultivation are
probably faulty. They go so far to
decorate dwelling or neighborhood,
that people can we'll be urged to
plant them. They will feel well re-
warded for the battle with weeds and
insects, when these vines burst
fourth in their annual splendor.
The rose covered cottage has long
been a symbol of domestic bliss.
People can be happier there sur
rounded by this blushing loveliness,
than they could expect to be in a
gorgeous palace with its cares and
burdens. Milford is the eastern CEN
re for rose growing.

HIS ADVICE GOOD BEFORE

Prof. Sprague, formerly of Har-
ward university, has been appointed
financial adviser to the United States
treasury. This gentleman was noted
during the World War for a plan to
finance that war by heavy taxes
rather than by borrowing. 1t did not
prove popular plan at that time.
The people said posterity could pay
for that war. Well, posterity is pay
ing now, and does not like it one bit.
The people were making all kinds
of money during the war period, and
could have paid most of its costs at
that time, or within a very few
years. By postponing payment until
dates far ahead, they involved the
country in the troubles it has recent
ly suffered. Perhaps this former
wise counsellor will be listened to
more attentively now.

CLOSING DAYS 0F SCH00L

The schools of the nation are
about closing their year of labor.
The pupils and students of Milford
appear to have done year of good
work, and will be entitled to their
vacation fun. But they should keep
UP on their toes every day until the
final bell rings. Sometimes when
pupils fall behind just a few days,
they become bewildered, and may
not catch up again for months. if
they do at all
Many of us can remember the old
time Examination day" exercises
in some little schoolhouse. There
the school board, awesome in the
dignity of black tail coats and form
al manners, would appear to estab-
lish the high dignity of the event.
The children were put through their
pretty little tricks, and they showed
a surprising intelligence. The par
ents swelled with pride, and decided
that their offspring were headed for
careers of high renown. Lavish COM
pliments were handed out, and it
seemed as if education were trans
forming the world.
The schools have become more ef-
ficient and practical than they were.
The former children who were salts
fed to quit with the grammar grades,
now want their children to go on
through high school or college.
But it does not make quite so much |
difference how many lessons these |
young people study. The real ques-
tion is, do they study thoroughly and |
finish up every task to which they !
are set? '-'---. ...--
A student may quit school early, |
but if he has formed the habit of do
ing every piece of work thoroughly
and we'll, his prospects may be bet
ter than that of the college student
who slips by everything as easily as
he can. But it is always deplorable
when a student of excellent abilities
is forced to quit school with only a
meager education. The country
loses something by the limitation of
his Intelligence. ,

AMERICAN SELF HELP

Prof Moley, intimate counselor o.
President Roosevelt, calls on the
American people to solve their eco.
nomic problems by the good old
principle of self help. They have
solved every problem that ever men
aced them i'm the past by that meth
cd.
A good many people are attributing
some magic power to the economic
conference in which the United
States is to take part, which meets
at London June ~. They expect it
to adopt some wonderful plans that
shall straighten out the worlds
knotty tangles. This conference
should do much good. But in the
main the American people have got
to pull up the hill by their own mus
Gle and sweat, just as they have Of
ten done it before.
AS Prof Moley remarks, trade
with the rest of the world has only
absorbed a small part of this coun-
try's business. Probably something
will be done at this conference to
expand this trade. but the American
people have a tremendous consum-
ing power of their own. when we
manage to give them work.
Back in the period from 1873 to
1878, and from 1893 to 1898, when
the country suffered from depres-
sion, our people never looked to
some international conference to
solve their troubles. They just went |
ahead and removed the causes of |
their difficulties. When these causes
were removed, the stalled wheels be-
gan to turn, and before people knew
/ were running faster than ever.
The government is now perform
ng a useful task in encouraging in
lustrial revival. But this principle
If self help is the main thing that
PRODUCES prosperity and welfare. We
AN see it working today, as innum-
rable business concerns and people
re hustling for orders and sales,
,ersuading people to buy goods now
N a rising market, and before they
% up still further. We get the re-
ult of this self help in factories re-
pening and wages rising.
Milford chronicle., 1933-06-02
FLUCTUATING MONEY

President Roosevelt is reported to
be negotiating with other nations to
fix some definite standard of money.
We can argue pro and con on infia-
tion and defiation, and never get
anywhere. But anyone can see that
fiuctuating money wabbling back
and fourth as the dollar has since it
cut loose from gold, does not help
business. II money is up one day
and down the next, business does
not know where it will get off.
If it has to pay for production in
high priced dollars and get paid for
its product in low priced ones, nat
urally business takes to cover, and
waits for money to get over its
spree.

PEACE FOR TEN YEARS

The governments of France, Eng
land, Germany. and Italy have ap-
parently assented to a new agree
ment for the maintenance of peace
between those nations, which it is
lexpected is to hold good for 10
years. If this understanding proves
correct, it means joyful day for the
world, and it will bring new hope to
the American people.
The powers of Europe have not
behaved themselves well since the
World War closed, so that their
moves are viewed with some suspic-
ion. We have heard of peace agree
ments between them before, which
no sooner were signed than they
seemed to be forgotten. Pretty soon
some aggressive power would set up
some new claim to which others OBJ
jected, and soon the fat would be
sizzling in the fire once more.
1t is expected this time, however,
that the signing of this agreement
will be followed by some decisive
steps to reduce war armament.
When the powers begin to throw
away their guns, then it will seem |
as if a new spirit had entered the !
world.
These nations have been wrang-
ling ever since the World War end
ed in 1918. Their claims had ap-
peared almost irreconcilable. France
absolute security from at
tack by Germany, which in the opin-
ion of the French made it necessary
that they should have a greatly SUI
perior armament and military pow
ar. That left Germany in a position
)f humiliating inferiority, which
such a country is not likely to toll
,rate indefinitely. The situation was
much like the question Of what
would happen if an irresistible force
net an immovable body.
Well, if they have settled it some ;
low, the American people can re-
move their hats and do a little hol-
ering. 1t will mean that we shall '
lot have to spend so many millions I
n preparation for war, but can de- {
ote some part of this money to
up civilization and human
instead of preparing to tear
down. /

LOOSENING UP CREDIT

The federal reserve board has
started out on its effort to expand
credit, under the governments infla-
tion policy. 1t has arranged to buy
S25, 100000 government bonds. 1t is
hoped that the money paid for these
bonds will be deposited in banks,
and that when these institutions re-
ceive all this additional cash, they
will want to earn some interest on
it, and hence will loan it to business
concerns.
If through such purchases it be-
comes easier for business concerns
TO borrow money, they can hire more
labor and buy more material. This
is what the country desires. Many
concerns go slow because of the diff
ficulty in obtaining loans. This $685.
100000 should set many idle wheels
to turning, and many unemployed
hands back on the workbench.
