CHEERING SIGNS

From many parts of the country
come cheering reports. Many fac
tories are calling employees back
TO work. Some of them are raising
wages. Higher commodity prices
stimulate buying. People are afraid
that if they delay purchases, they
may have TO pay still higher prices.
Another hopeful sign was that
business failures up to May 4 were
90 per cent less than last year. De-
fation has eliminated many weak
concerns, and the great majority of
those left are soundly established,
and will hold out through whatever
is left of the depression.
1t is deplorable that over 9616 bus
mess concerns failed during the first
four months of 1888, but 1928 went
under in the same time last year,
which suggests that business is
much on the mend. Even in pros
porous times, many concerns fail,
as the result of inadequate capital
and other causes. A great many
people go into business without un-
derstanding the trade which they
undertake. 1t is inevitable that
many of them should have to quit.
The recent sharp increase in auto
mobile production is a most favor
able sign. Most of our people who
ever owned an automobile will nev-
er be satisfied to get along without
cars in future. When their ma
chimes wear out, they will dig up
the money somehow to buy new
ones. The time when these replace
ments should occur has been post
poned by the longer wear which
modern automobiles give.
But a great number of cars have
become SO superannuated, that it
won't be long now before a big de-
mand springs up for new ones. This
will help all lines of trade. The
American people are never going
to give up riding. The business
tide is rising. The sun is shining
again.

HOME TOWN BASEBALL

While the ball parks of the larger
cities are thronged by cheering
crowds, the star performances of
these athletic heroes do not mean
so much to the average town as the
little old game between two rival viii
lages, schools, or factories.
These little home town ball games
on a thousand grounds throughout
our land, these are a democratic
school in all the lessons which base
ball teaches, and democratic pleas
,ure ground where every American
boy and sport lover has his chance.
The boy who longs for athletic
thrills may not be able to find his
way to the more or less distant city
where the kings of the diamond per-
form their mighty wallops. But at
least he can get on some school or
home team or try for it.
If the suppleness and science Of
baseball exist in some degrees in
his mind and hand, he will make his
own place in his little world, and
acquire a new object in life. Every
town and every school ought to
have ball team, and business men,
students, and the people generally
should back 1t up, and root for it
with cheers and cash.

THE SELF SUSTAINING TOWN

Towns come in two classes, those
that sustain themselves by their
own efforts, and those that fail to
do so.
The non-sustaining town receives
a certain reward in return for its
production, but a good part of those
earnings go to other towns in the
! form of purchases from concerns in
those communities. Thus such a
town does not get ahead. Its losses
from dissipation of its earnings
equal or exceed the savings which
it makes.
The self sustaining town spends
its money at home so far as possi-
BILE. Its earnings go to sustain its
own enterprises. These enterprises
keep growing, employing more la
bor, becoming able to pay more
taxes, paying profits which go into
local institutions and enterprises.
The self sustaining town is destined
to go ahead of its own class, and
become a leading community in its
section
Milford chronicle., 1933-05-19
INTEREST IN YOUR HOME TOWN

If a man takes no interest in the
business which he owns, how can
he expect to make any money at it?
If he spends but little time on it,
if his heart is in other activities, if
he works at that business in a list
less way, it will probably decline
and very likely stop.
Yet the majority of people live in
their home towns year after year,
and take very little interest in the
public affairs of these places. Many
of them refuse to vote at local cleo
tions, they will not attend meetings
called to promote local interests,
they will not join organizations
aimed to push the home town ahead.
How can they expect that things
are going we'll and prosperity in
such towns, if they make no contri-
button of personal interest to their
advancement?

Milford, Friday, May 10, 1898
PRESIDENT REPORTS PROGRESS

The radio address made by Presi-
dent Roosevelt at the time of the
bank holidays, had q marked effect
in calming the people and securing
cooperation. Similarly his report
direct TO the homes on the night of
May 2 seems 10 be having equally
good reactions.
1t was heard in a spirit Of nom
partisanship. as the voice of the
general of great army talking to
his soldiers. The American people
are not at this moment in any mood
for party politics. About Is months
from now, with an election just
ahead, they will be deeply concern
ed over the question whether the
new administration has made good
or not. But just now all they want
is hearty cooperation when the ad-
ministration has a good idea, and
friendly criticism when they feel
mistakes are made.
President Roosevelt made it clear
in this report, that his main aim
now is the restoration of commodity
prices to a normal level Depressed
prices place an abnormal burden on
all debtors. The farmer who on
contracting a debt, could pay his in
terest with 1000 bushels of wheat,
now has to raise 1000 or more. Such
disturbances of the price level leads
10 over production and low prices,
and it impairs the assets of finan-
cial institutions.
With this purpose of the Presi-
dent, reasonable people will not
quarrel. Yet the attempt to raise
prices must stop short at the right
point, as the President makes clear.
If the advance went too far, an in
tolerable living cost would be put
on every wage and salary Garner
The land would be full of strikes
and industrial confusion and pOv-
erty.
We must trust the President and
his advisers to reach a fair mean
between too high and too low prices.
The country has freely given him
power to accomplish this aim. If
he loses out on it, someone else will
take his place. If he wins, he will
be one of the country's great men.
Milford chronicle., 1933-05-19
A TINE FOR PATIENCE

In patience possess your souls
said the sacred writer. 1t is good
advice just now, particularly for
business people. They see the gov
ernment undertaking new and great
responsibilities. They see it taking
hold to manage business on a scale
never attempted before. They won
der where we shall come out, and
if it will be possible to do business
under such systems.
Yet this time of change will soon
pass. The great task of congress
will soon be completed. Hopes are
entertained that it can finish its ses-
sion early in June. Then the busi-
ness world can see what the new
conditions are which must be met,
and can adapt itself to them.
1t is uncertainty in the business
world that paralyzes. No one wants
to hurt honest business. People
want business encouraged, so it can
employ labor freely. AS soon as
congress reaches conclusions as to
how business can be helped to op-
crate more successfully, our time
of uncertainty will have passed. We
must have patience a few more
weeks, while these great decisions
are being made.
A time Of change always has the
effect to retard business. We can
see clearly enough that changes are
needed in the business world. There
has been far too much dishonesty.
Too many practices have been toll
Grated that were all wrong. Too
little has been done to assure regu-
lar operation of business, and steady
power for the masses.
Reforms are needed to defend the
banks against such losses as they
have had to meet.
These needed readjustments take
lime. They can not be accomplish
I'd in a minute. We must be patient |
until the lawmakers and business
people have decided upon these |
changes. Some mistakes will be |
made, but on the whole they will be
helpful. When they are completed,
will know what it can de-
bend upon, and it will be all set to
20 ahead,

LIMITING FORTUNES

An amendment to the constitution
has been offered, which would re-
strict the wealth of any citizen to
S1,00O,0OO. People remark that they
could manage to squeeze by with a
million, and they don't see why peo-
pie should desire more. But what
would happen, should the govern
ment jump on the millionaires, and
ask them to hand over anything
above that very good sum?
why do business, if the govern
ment is going to take all my earn
ings? Guess I'll quit and play
golf," some of them would say. Then
if they did that, many concerns
would have to be sold, their help
would be hunting for a job. Wealthy
people should pay large taxes, but
if you pursue them too fiercely, you
also pursue the people whom they
employ.

WHO OWNS THE AIR9

The early common law held that
ownership of the land extends from
the center of the earth to the high
heavens. What then are the rights
of an aviator? Can he fly over pri-
vate land? This question has been
discussed by the American Law In
stitute, and at its meeting at Wash
ington it voted that person travel
ling in aircraft is privileged to pass
over private land, if he does it for
reasonable purpose and in a legiti-
mate manner.
1t is a right that needs regulation.
There will always be some stunt
fiiers who like to show off by seeing
how near they can come to the tops
of houses. Considering the great
speed at which plane travels, this
could be a serious peril to human
dwellings.
Milford chronicle., 1933-05-19
GOYERNORS MELL HONORED

The customary salute to be given
governors of the 4S states is hence
forth to be 10 guns, instead Of II, as
before, which puts them on the same
basis as cabinet officers. The gov
ernor of any state holds a position
OF very high honor. ANY person
who can successfully administer
that great office is entitled to all the
respect we can give.
However, the average governor is
very busy attending to the clamor of
politicians, the complaints Of the
people, and the disputes of contend
ing elements. 1t is doubtful if such
an official will have time to count
the number. of guns fired off in such
ceremony. Perhaps many of the
governors would never have known
their salutes were inadequate, if
they had been forced to get along
with II guns.
Milford chronicle., 1933-05-19
ONE MAN POWER

The idea is held by many persons,
that the United States, in asserting
to the great powers given to Presi-
dent Roosevelt by the present con-
gress, has put the country under a
rule similar to that of Mussolini in
Italy, or even approaching that of
Stain in Russia. In his radio talk
Of Sunday night, President Roose-
welt secuted that idea, and took the
position that these extensions of
power represent no radical change
from American ideas or our Con-
stitution.
The American people have simply
become tired of prolonged delays
and slow ways of doing the public
business. They have seen the affairs
of the nation tied up for years and
years by the tardy motions of con-
gress and government red tape. They
have seen interminable delays,
where prompt action was called for.
In ordinary times, they have been
too busy with their own concerns to
protest against these awkward ways
of doing things. But in time when
slow motions and prompt actions
are particularly obstructive and
troublesome, they get sick of long
oil "a
showed a willingness to accept en-
larged responsibility, they quickly
responded, and said it was what
they had been looking for.
Congress has now delegated GER
tain powers to the President which
it usually has exercised itself. But
that is not wholly new departure.
Congress has in the past delegated
many powers to boards and COM
missions. AS the country grows big
ger and more complex, it becomes
less and less possible for all mat
ters to be decided in the debates of
the lawmakers. Many of these pow
ers must be given to bureaus and
executive heads.
We shall probably need a good
deal more lone man power" to make
our complicated industrial life OPP
crate efficiently. The industries have
to give much power to single execu-
tives, and government will have to
do so,
Milford chronicle., 1933-05-19
FACING THE Future

Henry Ford remarks that the
American people are facing the fu-
ture, that they have made a COM
plete turn around. Instead of cur
ing the troubles of depression by the
old financial and political machinery
that has gotten out of gear, they are
adopting new methods and plans.
and are entering on new era,
But this spirit is not new. Every
pioneer colonist who crossed the
ocean in the old days showed this
same ability to strike out into an
unknown future. He sailed across
an ocean that was Of terrific extent
for those days, with scare a concep-
tion of the hostile and terrifying
conditions he had to meet.
The settling of the great west of
our country was another example of
this resolute facing of the future.
The pioneers toiled over those end
less plains, and it took them months
TO cover ground that our trains and
airplanes cover in a few hours. They
faced perils absolutely unknown in
their quiet villages in the east. They
had faith in their power to meet all
unknown terrors.
These bold pioneers did not by
any means break with their past.
They were not destructive icono-
clasts, who scornfully rejected all
the old civilization had to teach them.
They brought with them laws and
schools and churches and customs
that were much like those left be-
hind, only the new way of living
avoided many old evils.
Our people have concluded today
that it is wrong that large elements
of our population are plunged in
dire poverty. Something must be
done to give them opportunity. A
country in which masses of people
are not able to procure the necessi-
ties of life, must somehow open the
way to providing those necessities.
The American people have resolved
to do that, and in so doing, they are
in Mr.. Ford's words, resolutely fac
ing the future.

HALF BILLION FOR RELIEF

Congress has generously opened
up the federal treasury, by passing
the $50O,OOO,OOO relief bill. Opin-
ions differ as to whether the federal
government should be asked to pro-
vide this great sum, but anyway it
will bring renewed hope into many
cheerless homes.
Now how will that money be
spent? Plenty of people who never
work if they can help it, will clamor
for a share. And worthy persons
who ought to be helped freely from
it, will be ashamed to ask their
rightly earned share. Every dollar
of that money should be looked at
as a sacred trust, to go as far as it
can to lift up the down hearted, and
give people another chance.

Salads With Appetite Appeal
By JOSEPHINE GIBSON
Director, Heinz Food Institute

SALADS formerly had a very
~ definite place in the menu-fol-
lowing directly after the meat
course. Today, however, the salad
is very versatile-it may be served
at the beginning of the meal, as the
main course, or as the dessert
course. If served as the first course,
the salad is of miniature size and
usually of fruit or fish. Increased
popularity of salads is deserved for
they are healthful, have definite
appetite appeal" and are easily
prepared. As warm weather nears,
salads are increasingly welcome.
Those of the main dish type, pre-
ceded by soup Ga ready-to-serve
variety from your emergency shelt)
and accompanied by beverage,
make delicious luncheons or suppers
that are healthful and interesting.

TEACH SAFE DRIVING IN HIGH
SCHOOLS

The automobile driver of tomor.
row is the high school student of to.
day. This driver of the future should
be a careful, courteous and con-
scientious motorist, mindful of the
rights OF all others and thoroughly
informed as to traffic laws and reg
ulations.
That is why high school motor
clubs are multiplying rapidly in the
United States. Several hundred
such organizations are actively at
work.
High school automobile clubs have
three basic functions: First, the
teaching of safe driving principles;
second, accurate mechanical infor-
nation; and third, education in
state, local and municipal laws and
ordinances. In this program police
departments, automobile manufac-
turers, insurance companies and all
others interested in traffic safety,
are always ready to lend a hand to
provide demonstrations, speakers,
lecture courses, booklets, pamphlets
and other material.
Statistics for 1882 show that H.
$50 drivers under IS were involved
in accidents, although few states
permit youngsters of that age to
handle a car alone in public.
There is no better place to instill
the principles of any subject than
in a school. Carpentry is taught in
schools, but more boys will drive
than will work at a
bench. Girls will drive more fire.
quently than they will cook, but
cooking is taught in modern schools.
The high school atomobile club
provides safety education. 1t is no
expense to the schools. Nothing is
spent but the willingly contributed |
time of the safety agencies.
School authorities planning for |
their fall courses would do well to
the motor driving club |
plan. and encourage its establish
ment. If further information is de-
sired, the National Bureau Of Cas-
lalty and Surety Underwriters, One
Park Avenue, New York City, offers

Spring.

Spring, weaving patterns Of the
earth and sky,
Paints in her tapestry the hills
and trees,
Green is her warp, bright gold
her Woof. Her eye
Trained to the sight Of rain and
flying bees
Guides her hands well. Into
the pattern go
Leaves, silver in the moonlight :;
and the flash
OF birds wings meath the sun;
the steady, slow
Grace of a waving limb; the
sudden crash
|Of thunder in the night; bright
tulips fare;
And dog-wood stars the woods
with startling white.
Then suddenly the weaver
seems to care
Only for color, and the deep
blue night
Gives way to sunrise, flaming.
While birds sing
Accompaniment to your labor,
weave on, Spring!
