DANCING Old FOLKS

It's one queer thing about dane
ing, that this recreation, while ap-
pealing to the sense of music and
rhythm that exists in old as well as
young, is for the most part enjoyed
only by youth. That is due to our
dance customs, for in many lands
the old folks dance all their lives.
When a girl gets married in our
country, or grows older than the
average of the young bunch, it is
usually "Good-by" to the dance floor
for her. Unless she has special
charm, she is not invited to go on
the floor, hence she sits around the
edges looking unhappy, and next
time she stays away. Also the men
find as they go on, the young dane
ers prefer sheiks of their own age.
The older crowd need dancing
parties and classes of their own,
where they can renew their youth
by executing suitable pigeon wings.
Many a bad case of i'll humor is
cured by the happiness of a dancing
evening.
Milford chronicle., 1933-08-11
GETTING THINGS DONE.

There is a faculty given to some
men that it is hard to find a phrase
for. 1t is the faculty of getting
things done.
1t is a gift. A man may have
ability, education, training and am
bition, and still lack the genius that
gets things DONE. Another man who
has had little or no education and
whose training has been of the most
haphazard, without any fuss or ado
will seem to accomplish the impos-
sible.
Part of it, perhaps, is daring to
tackle things that seem impossible
to others. Perhaps another part is
made up of intense concentration
and steady patient work. There is
always a sort of placid certainty
about the man who gets things done.
In almost any small community
can be found the man to whom the
residents inevitably turn when
something especially difficult to
solve comes up in the life of the
community. For some reason this
man is seldom in an official position.
He seems to have no fair for poll
tics. He is more apt to be found
running a business of his own and
taking a comfortable and unostenta-
tious part in the affairs of the viii
lage. He may be a diamond in the
rough. He never dictates. He never
dictates. He never boasts. He never
exaggerates. He never scolds. But
somehow, as if by magic touch,
when something is badly needed, he
manages to get it done.
In the larger communities and the
big cities it takes longer for the
man who gets things done to be
recognized, but eventually he is dis
covered and used. He is the man of
the smaller communities, only his
opportunities are larger and there
fore his accomplishment seems more
important.
Not always does he get the credit
for it. And it is characteristic of
him that he doesn't care.-5Rhine-

SUMMER RESORT BUSINESS


For many housewives, vacation
time brings no real rest. While
Friend Husband fishes, plays golf
Friend Wife cooks over the camp or
cottage stove. Frequently that
stoves principal activity is sending
out smoke, which alone is not en-
ougb to produce digestible steak and
mullins.
The demand for a complete rest
from the cares of home sends null
titude of people to hotels and board
ing houses. Some object to such
parts, on the ground that they have
to dress up every day to appear in
public. However, if they do not like
the dress suit crowd, they can find
plenty of places where shirtsleeves
create no alarm.
The girls sit out under the shady
trees with their boy friends, and ro-
mantle nothings are exchanged.
They may not recognize you when
next you meet in town, but anyway
for the time being they shed their
glory on you.
The women folks are supposed to
sit in glorified costumes on the
front porch, and pick their neigh
bors to pieces. But in these times
they are playing bridge with such
feverish abandon that they have no
energy left for criticism. Anyway,
the life of such resorts leads to new
and our women folks
enjoy themselves there in graceful
social interchanges.
The men perform prodigies of en-
ergy at tennis and golf and taking
hikes. They may lose weight from !
over exertion, but probably they need
less fat and more muscle.
There is room for much develop
ment of the summer resort business
in Delaware with our charming
beauty spots. People will always
1ock to the hotel or boarding house
which offers good simple food, clean
looms, and comfortable beds, for a
Moderate price. But there needs to
De something doing for our active
olks. They get tired of vacation
ife where the only sport is going
Iown to the postoffice to get letters
rom home.

CONTINUOUS SCHOOL

Long summer vacations are not
necessary for children, say some ed
ucators. 1t has always been a pro-
longed period of idle dreaming and
roaming for many of them. It is
claimed that the habits of idleness
then formed slow up school work.
Children could save a year or two
out of their school life if they only
had a brief rest in summer, it is
declared.
Education should at least be less
costly, if the young learners work
ed As weeks a year. If you could
run boy or girl through the grade
schools in six or seven years instead
of eight, and through high school in
three years instead of four, Mr.. Tax
payer would be relieved of some of
the pains from which he now
groans.
Some teachers, also, have always
said that children are demoraliZed
by the long summer vacations. Many
of them become rough and unruly.
Doing their multiplications and di-
visions would be better for such
ones than holding up their thumbs
in the air for automobile rides.
Yet many parents would say
their children would break down un-
der the strain of nearly continuous
work. Nervous children might do |
so, and their interests will have to
be considered. But the average |
child is not overworked in school |
now. 1t is at least possible that he
would be as well off plodding along
on a steady routine most of the year. /
he may not need a two or three
months vacation any more than"an |
of us do.
OF course such a plan would be a
heavy load on the teachers, many of
whom are on the verge of nervous
prostration now. Some teachers are
glad of a chance to work in summer,
and would not mind additional
school time if paid correspondingly
But the long summer vacation has
become a fixed tradition in the school
year, and it probably will be a good
while before it will be modified very
much

HOME PEOPLE AS GOOD

One reason why some people like
to go away on costly summer jour-
neys, is that they feel they meet
such interesting people. The folks
seen on hotel porches and railroad
trains eeem to have a special
glamor Many of them seem to put
on the dog" a bit when away from
home To hear them talk, you would
imagine they were personages of
large importance in their home
towns.
But are they bit better than your
home folks? Do they know any
more about life, can they talk any
more wittily. than your good neigh
bors across the street?
Usually the answer is mo" You
find as intelligent and agreeable
people in Milford as anywhere. Fur
thermore, if any of them should not
be taken quite at face value, you
know all about that at home, but
you don't know it about the folks
swelling around at some summer
resort. It's a fine thing to go on
nice summer outing, but don't for
moment expect to find human COM
Partnerships a bit better than those
of your home town.

UNWANTED CHILDREN

What shall be done with all the
unwanted children, pathetic little
foundlings deposited on someone's
doorstep or at hospital entrances
These little waits are more numer-
GUS than some of us realize. Big city
life with its freedom from restraint,
breeds many of them.
The laws of the community seek
to provide a home in which every
child can grow up under the care
of its parents. But human desire
breaks through these restrictions,
and as a result many abandoned chill
dren are cast out to win care by
their pitiful little cries. 1t seems a
heartless thing thus to bring chill
dren in the world, and then throw
them out to shift for themselves,
carrying a stigma for which they are
not in any way responsible. If their
origin becomes known later on, it
is likely to prove a handicap, but
they are not to blame in the least
for their origin.
In former years, it took good
deal of costly propaganda to find
homes for all the little waits. But
so many childless parents desire in
fants to bring up now, that most of
these little wanderers seem to be
cared for.
Any family which assumes the
care of such a child has performed
a noble act. 1t may feel that it is
taking risks, that the child of law
less passion may likewise be head
ed for trouble. But it is the blessed
thing about life, that care and train
ing seem to be more powerful in
bringing up children than the traits
handed down from ancestors.
Most persons who have adopted
such children have been generously
rewarded. They gave loving care,
and the children throve under the
sunlight of affection. They have
grown up with grateful hearts, and
have returned substantial benefits of
love and practical assistance. The
world should open its arms wide to
the unwanted child, and the little
one will usually repay the debt.
Milford chronicle., 1933-08-11
OLD FOLKS AT SCHOOL

Here and there schools and col
leges are establishing courses for
the benefit of the older people of
their communities. Many adults take
correspondence courses. You may
say you are too old to study, but if
so, it is a sign your mind has stop
ped growing. Your body may be free
from physical ills, but if you are
getting paralysis of the mind, your
later years will not be so happy.
When people leave school, their
time is mostly occupied by work and
by play. People need mental re-
sources, and the way to develop
them is to keep up the study habit.
If more people joined such study
classes or took correspondence
courses, we should have more peo-
pie who do their own thinking.
Milford chronicle., 1933-08-11
LEADING STORES ADVERTISE

If you go into almost any com
munity, you find this thing to be
tue: The leading stores are good
advertisers. If you see a large store,
i. probably uses a lot of newspaper
space. If you see a small store with
few people in it, it is not probably
advertised.
These two things go together so
consistently, that people can not ex-
pect to succeed in business, unless
they observe this means of reaching
out to growth. If they want to go
ahead and establish themselves as a
leading store in their home COM
munity and neighborhood, the way to
do it is to tell the people what they
are selling.

@BANKRUPTs CITIES

Much has been said during the re-
cent depression, about so-called
bankrupt" cities. 1t seems a sing
ular phrase, when you consider that
probably the taxable property in any
one of those cities was worth 10 to
% times as much as the city owes,
A business concern is not usually
called bankrupt unless its liabilities
exceed its assets. But when. we have
city whose assets are 20 times its
exceed its assets. But when we have
a city whose assets are 20 times its
liabilities, why is it said or sus-
pected that it is bankrupt?
Running cities, however, is differ
ent from running business. In the
latter case, if a concern doesn't pay
its bills, it can be sold out, and its
assets should pay its liabilities.
But no way exists of selling a city
out. You can't dispossess all its in
habitants and take their homes. Its
realizable assets, then, consist only
of the amount of taxes that can be
collected from its property, and that
constitutes only a small fraction of
the value of that property. For if
people are taxed more than a certain
reasonable amount, they simply get
out of such city.
City governments then in many
places have had a false idea of the
amounts which they could safely
borrow. They defended their policy
by saying that the public debt was
only a small proportion of the val
uation of the city. But while that
was true, the interest on that debt !
was such a big amount that the tax
payers groaned, and they could not |
be forced to pay beyond a certain
amount.
City governments in future will |
have to go very much slower about
borrowing money. They would bet
ter look less at the theoretical val
uation of the city, and more at the
AK rate. If they force the tax rate
beyond a normal figure. they will
'uin their city for the time being at
east, until it comes under the con-
rol of a more economical set of Of
icials.

RAILS LOOK TO THE FUTURE


The railroad industry, according
to the Railway Age, is feeling opti-
mistic.
General business conditions are on
the upgrade. Railroad freight bust
ness and earnings show material i'm
provement. Public sentiment is
whole-heartedly behind the lines in
their fight for fair treatment. Rail-
road management are showing a new
spirit of aggressiveness. The gov
ernment is about to embark on an
important program designed to in
crease the efficiency of the rails and
better their financial position.
This means dollars in the pock-
cts of every citizen, even though he
has no connection, in any capacity,
with any railroad. Millions of rail-
road dollars will be spent for sup
plies, and will filter down to every
kind of producing business, every
type of worker. Railroad dividends
will be paid-to the benefit of banks,
insurance companies, endowed in
stitutions and private investors
which have been heavy buyers of
railroad securities.
We are not yet through with the
railroad problem. There are many
grave trouble to be ironed out, but
a start has been made and the pub
lie will demand that the work be
carried through.

REWARDS OF coon CARE

Suppose two men live side by side
and one of them keeps an attrac-
tive looking home, while the other
allows his place to become run
down and disorderly. What will be
the result on the fortunes of these
two men?
People are repelled from the man
who keeps the poor looking place.
They would dislike to employ him,
as it would seem as if he would not
attend to his job. 1t could be ex-
pected that he would be indolent and
neglectful. Evidently work looks
formidable and unpleasant to him,
a characteristic that no one desires
in the world of industry. But the
man who keeps an attractive home
wins friends and supporters natur-
ally. People say that he must be
industrious and careful, and they
would like to see him applythe same
industry and system to his daily
toll.

EGG CARTON CARRIES
SCIENCE TO THE HOME

An enterprising egg-marketing
agency in California is pushing the
sale of eggs in general and of it's
own product in particular by pack
ing them in a new printed carton, a
principal feature of which is the Ii
beral quotations from the United
States Department of Agriculture
leaflet entitled Eggs at Any Meal"
On the face of the carton appears
text from the leaf1et which suggests
various dishes and combination of
eggs appropriate for breakfast, lun-
cheon, dinner, or supper-also some
of the many foods in which eggs add
food values and flavor. The flap of
the carton, offers concise directions
for cooking eggs TO conserve the
full food values as worked out and
recommended by the Bureau of
Home Economics. Slow cooking at
moderate heat is the general prin-
ciple.
A Maryland egg-marketing agency
is also quoting from the same leaf
let in a series of slips inserted in
cartons of quality eggs graded Off
cially in accordance with Federal
State grading standards. One slip
says Always cook eggs slowly" and
gives exact directions from the leaf
let. Others give recipes for egg
dishes and suggest the less familiar
ways of cooking eggs. All the slips
emphasize the satisfaction to be ex-
pected from the quality guaranteed
by official grading.
DR.. Louise Stanley, Chief of the
Bureau of Home Economics, well
comes these practical adaptations of
scientific research. Consumers will
gain, she says, if they learn the
scientific principles of food prepara-
tion. Producers will benefit, too,
through more intelligent use of their
product.
