The CHRisTMIs TREE CROP

ON thousands of hillsides, men are
cutting down the little spruces and
frs, and other evergreess, and haul
ing the little Christmas trees to the
railroad stations. Soon they vii!
blossom out with flowers Of glitter
ing tinsel, and fruit and candy and
all good things, while the children
shout with Christmas glee.
Some people say the cutting OF
all these little trees spoils a future
forest. But the rough lands on
which these evergreens are cut
would not grow much else. If the
farmer caI. sell a crop of young
trees every year, let him do so.
The Christmas tree tells the chill
dren of crowded tenements, that
there is a happier and healthier life
under Gods blue sky, and they would
better aim to escape from their con-
gested areas into this sweeter en-
1ironment 1t tells us that the power
hat makes the world beautiful Is
,nly sleeping its winter sleep. and
will soon rise again TO cover the
world with joyous verdure.

REMAKING THE LEGISLATURES

Do the legislatures of the various
states need remaking, and what
would be the effect of a change by
which they should consist of one
house instead of two? Questions
like these are raised all over the
country by the action of the voters
of Nebraska, in accepting a consti-
tutional amendment which will pro-
vide for single house Legislature
in their state.
3 I'd to now the American people
have always felt that a Legislature
made up of two houses was neces-
sary to the public welfare. Every
one of our states has had a senate,
2 small body consisting usually of
81 to so members, and house OF
representatives, a larger assembly,
which in the majority of states CON
sisted of 100 to 200 members.
The founders of our government
were fearful OF giving officials too
much power. They had seen their
people ground under the heel of Of
fetal tyranny. In our new gov
they said, he are going
t. provide freedom. We will not
merely prevent kings from exercis-
ing tyranny over us. but We are
fearful of the tyranny of maiorities
over maiorities." So they established
state legislatures consisting of two
houses. II was thought the senate
would check the waves of popular
emotion that might control the house,
and the house would check tenden-
cies to conservatism that might rule
the senate.
On that basis the American peO-
pie have lived fairly comfortably.
The double headed legislature has
prevented many expressions, but it
often leads to deadlocks and delayed /
action. Nebraska is going to try
the experiment of a single house .
If it advances the pub
&c welfare. the idea will be widely
initiated. But the unchecked action
Di single legislative body may
81 metime trample over peoples
rights

WHAT CAN YOU PRODUCE!

The success which people have on
their jobs depends in large measure
on what they personally add to the
business for which they are working.
If store clerk, let us say, simply
waits on customers as they come in,
and if he never uses his own power
as a salesman to produce any new
customers, he hasn't added any pro-
ductiOn of his own TO that business.
He is not therefore specially valu-
able.
Many people working in those po-
sitions are more ambitious. They
keep the interest OF their business
always in their minds. They talk
about the goods they are handling,
and induce people to come in and
buy those goods. They are so watch
full and attentive In dealing with
customers, that people are led to
come to their places of business to
have these people wait on them.
That kind Of work adds production
of its own, and people who work
after that manner add value to a
business, and are the ones who OBJ
tain promotion.

CARRYING MONEY

A recent business note reports a
demand from the men for larger
pocket books. Does this mean that
they have more money, so that a
more spacious purse is required?
Whatever this sign indicates,
American men have a lot to learn
about carrying money. Many of
them carry far too much in their
pockets. II is this habit of carrying
money that has made the held-up
trade what it is. In spite of all the
talk of poverty. il is common thing
10 read of some man being held up
Oh dark city street or country
road, and being compelled to hand
over a roll of several hundred dol
lars to some gunman.
Every time such a robbery is COM
mitted, more desperate young men
are embOldened to hold up the way
farer, and many celebration in the
underworld if financed with the
spoils thereby abstracted from hon
est citizens.
Many men have to admit that at
some time or other they lost con-.
siderable sums of money to pick
pockets. When you get into a crowd,
and find rnuub obaraotare ;o,tI;no

The traditional place of conceal |
nent for the feminine world was

aides should return to that fashion,

men. they need some safer way of
money. The man who goes

NORRIS DAMS

On the occasion of his visit to
Norris Dam the President issued a
blast for more electrical power and
more Government power projects.
Despite this fresh approval of the
Tennessee Valley project. Senator
Norris, after whom the dam is
named. issued a sharp criticism of
the President whom he said was
responsible probably more than any
one man." in making "a serious mis-
take" in attempting to unseat Cut
ting in New Mexico, and Shipstead
in Minnesota whom he said were just
as much entitled to support as pro-
gressives as Hiram Johnson of Cali
fornia, or Robert LaFollette of Wis
consin, who received the Roosevelt
blessing in the campaign.
The original Norris dam" has
been in fine working order on Capitol
Hill for a quarter of a century, and
the Nebraska Senator hopes the
other great dam which bears his
name will do just as we'll

A SIGN OF GREATNESS

Prof. William Lyon Phelps. speak
ing at Yale University praised Col.
Charles A. Lindberg for his humility.
The greatest thing about him, said
Prof Phelps, was not his crossing
the ocean alone. it was his behavior
after crossing.
The same truth was expressed by
the Sevior of mankind. when he said,
Whose shall exalt himself shall be
humbled; and whosOever shall
humble himself shall be exalt-
ed" To put it in modern slang.
there is a tendency when people do
something big, to get a swelled head.
Many such folks have astonished the
world, and then dropped out of sight.

some big stunt, and then act as if

LOOKING on TO CHRISTMAS

The Christmas buying season is
on MS. The next few weeks see the
peak of retail trade. A great new
buying power is about to be turned
irto the commercial stream. It
Should lift business to new level
What will the effect be on business
here in Milford and our Delaware
peninsula
Much depends on what the people
decide to do with their money. viii
they feel some sentiment of loyalty
To their home town? Will they say
that so far as they can, they would
like to spend that money at home?
If they take that attitude, Il pawer-
fnl boost will be given to Milford,
the effect of which will be felt for
months. The money thus spent will
put our home town business ON
tirmer foundation, it will permit old
debts to be cleaned up. new stocks
to be put in, more people to be EN-
plOyed in our local stores. more done
to make our community a business
and trading center.
Ii our people do not take that at
titude. if they do not feel any senti-
ment of loyalty to the business folks
who have served our needs so faith
fnlly through bad times and good,
much OF their money will be scat
tered elsewhere. They should do
some real thinking before they thus
dissipate the buying power of their
holiday money.
Our people should also think
whether the way they spend this
money is going to be unfair to our
business people. If those who have /
money to spend wait until the last /
week or two before the holiday, we
shall as usual see grand rush at
the stores and post offices, which
will impose a severe burden on all
these workers, and is an expensive
and uneconomic way of doing bust
ness. Let us resolve to buy early,
and buy at home, and if we do that
he holiday season will be happy
me for us.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS
THE LIBERTY LEAGUE

A giant organization that will be
backed by high-pressure propaganda
has reared its head in Washington
under the name Of the Liberty
League. No matter what the organ
ization may claim for itself 1t is an
anti-Roosevelt affair, pure and sim
pie. The organization is headed up
by stand-pat Democrats and stand
pat Republicans of conservative
types that were discarded as misfits
during the past two years, as both
old parties Swing to the left" in
sponsoring progressive measures.
Those same progressive measures are
not necessarily Roosevelt plans, but
they are nevertheless distinctly diff
ferent from the odd order" under
which interests and lObbies sought
to control public affairs. The Lib
ertv League has the nineteenth CEN
tury notion about Hobbies and liberty.

crimes are committed in thy name!"

WHERE DO JOBS COME FRONT

In recent newspaper article,
Richard Washburn Child, former
ambassador TO Italy, and a noted au-
thor, pointed out that there are only
two sources of jobs and payrolls:
One source is government. The
other is industry.
Jobs can be provided by govern
ment in but two ways. Either all
businesses must be nationalized and
operated by a bureaucracy. or gov
ernment must continually borrow
more money, raising taxes all the
while, in order TO put idle people to
work.
Under the first. government will
inevitably bedome cOmmunistic in
principle. The worker is a tool of
the state-he lives solely TO advance
the interest Of the political ruling
class. He is regarded as a machine,
to be worked as cheaply as possible
until he wears out-and then he is
thrown into a human scrap heap.
Milford chronicle., 1934-11-30
PROLONGING LIFE

The National Academy Of Sciences
has been informed OF experiments
made by DR.. W. d. Bancroft of Cor
nell University, by which he feels
that human life can be prolonged.
He finds by experiments on rabbits
and chickens, that the drug which
he recommends will reduce nervous
irritability, and thus promote health.
He believes its effect on human be-
ings will be to reduce worry, and
thus increase resistance to disease.
People over As should thus be able
to add at least two years to their
lives, he thinks.
DR.. Bancroft points out that while
the average length of life has largely
increased, this has occurred princi-
pally because infant mortality has
been so greatly reduced. Better care
OF babies and children makes the
average life longer. But the expec-
tation of life of people over As has
increased but little in 25 years.
The degeneratiYe diseases that at |
tack elderly people continue to take
their toll about as they always have.
The human body decays fast under
our present conditions. People work
themselves into sensitive conditions
by their rushing habits. and the first
onslaught of some serious disease
breaks through the citadel of life
itself.
The elderly people need a quieter
life and a more hopeful philosophy.
People suffer more from fear of los
Dg their money or of not having
work. than they would suffer if these
actually happened. They
lie thousand deaths in fearing one.
Scientific discovery may provide ,
good remedies that will quiet our I
nerves, and help us TO look at these .
hings more calmly. But people !
must cultivate more self control, ,
nd stop the everlasting fretting that '
years down our physical and nerv- 5
us powers. /

A CUSHION AGAINST
UNEMPLOYMENT

The underlying principle behind
the Administration relief projects
has resulted in the government TAX
ing from those who have, in the form
of taxes, and giving to those who
have not. in the form of public works
pl ojects and direct relief. II is the
old principle whipped into action
that the laborer is worthy of his
hire: more than that. he is worthy
of the necessities of life when no en-
ployer has work for his hands.
While this has been helpful in
staving off starvation and despair,
it is admittedly only a makeshift,
justifiable only because of the nature
of the emergency.
Unexpectedly, il is industry, rather
than government, which comes for
ward with the first really construc-
tive program planned to take care of
the man who is unemployed through
no fault of his own.
p W. Litchfield. able president of
the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany. made a proposal recently to
the Southern Division of the United
States Chamber of Commerce that
is far-reaching i'm its social signif-
icance. He proposed a national un-
employment insurance plan that
would cushion the shock of sudden
widespread unemployment En-
ployes and employers would both
contribute to the plan in good times.
making unnecessary the use of pub
lie funds in bad times. Administra-
tiOn Of the pl@n would be in federal
hands
Mr.. Litchfields reasoning on the
matter is clear and lucid. He showed
that we protect ourselves against
fire and sudden death through the
Institution of insurance Why not
use the same principle to stave of
the i'll effects of unemployment?
The sound common sense of the
suggestions are found in the efforts
to eliminate the untold misery. the
frantic appeal for charity funds, the
vicious circle of reduced buying
power and increased unemployment
that recurrence of the collapse of
1929 would bring.
Mr.. Litchfield recognizes the diff
fculties of his task. The political
the wilful shirker. and
other similar obstacles would have

Industrial employment, where work
and hours are easily measured. could
be brought under the plan. Accus-

COOPERATION IN MODERN LIFE

Cooperation is necessary in order
TO advance the interest of any com
munity, but it is hard to get it un-
der modern conditions. So many
opportunities are offered to people
tn amuse themselves, that it is hard
to induce them TO give time to COM
munity efforts.
In former times it was easier to
get this cooperation. because peO-
pies time was not so fully occupied,
and they were more likely to give
an evening or two week to some
form of organization work. We
must not occupy ourselves so in
tensely with our personal interests,
that we neglect the welfare of our
city.

D, c. TYPOS WING. v. HAS LONE
TOURNEY TITLE UARTERBACK

George Washington University's
football squad at this time finds
itself in the predicament of hay
ing only one quarterback. who is
Ben Plotnicki, the barking basso
from South Bend, Ind.
Unless somebody with real abil-
ity to call signals and act as field
general pops up in the meantime,
Plotnicki will direct the Colonials
throughout the 1884 season.
Ordinarily, a team playing a
major schedule such as G. w. can
boast of more than one quarter
back, and ordinarily such a team
needs more than one. But a
glimpse of Jim Pixlee's material
right now fails to find any but
Plotnicki.
Plotnicki, who forsook a chance
to perform at Notre Dame, after
having captained South Bend
Central, scholastic champion of
Indiana, came into the local grid
spotlight last fall when he sup,
planted Johnny Baker, one of
three Colonial stars ruled out be-
fore the Tennessee game.
