RETURNING FROM VACATION

Some people return from vacation
with a groan. They hate to think
that they must get into the old
grind again. 1t seems to them like
a CALLING harness. They start in
at work with grouehy spirit. and
it takes many days before they greet
the world with a smile.
Others return full of happiness.
rejoicing in the good time they have
had. They are glad to get back to
the old home burg. 1t is a pleasure
to meet the smiling faces, and see
that people care for them and well
come them back. RThey have the
feeling. here in Milford no matter
what fine and grand places and
beautiful scenery they have looked
at. that the old home town is the
best of all. and it would take great
inducements to pry them loose from
ii.
That is the kind of spirit that wins
friends and success. The people who
return in that mood are much more
likely to make good in their under
takings.

makers of Europe have quieted down
a bit, and few people see real signs
of war. There are plenty of excite
able people in Europe who are mad
enough to fight. But there will
hardly be a real war unless Germany
rises up to contend against the foes
which it hates. The Germans know
we'll enough that they are in no
shape to make war. They can hardly
feed their people now in time of
peace, not to speak of feeding and

THE NATIONAL PARKS

President Roosevelt, speaking at
Glacier National Park, praised the
fine work that has been done in de-
veloping the national park system.
1t has truly been wonderful
thought to set apart these magnif-
icent tracts of land. and to preserve
them for the use of the people.
Had it not been for such action,
great forests which cover a large
portion of these parks might have
been laid low by the lumberman's
axe. Many of these forests would
have been burned up, as the result
of the careless use of fire.
As it is today. the forests of these
reservations have been saved. If it
was desired. a large quantity of tim
ber could be taken out from them
every year for the use of the people.
But the main value of the parks,
in which are included the reserva-
tions known as national monuments,
is for recreation grounds for the
people. To these grand centers of
scenic beauty tire camper and the
fishermen can resort. pitching their
simple tents in comfortable camp
grounds, living outdoors and close
to nature, gaining health and |
strength at a minimum of cost.
The only regret that can be felt
is that this system does not extend |
equally through all sections. 1t |
would seem desirable that every
state should have one or several such
to which its people
could resort for outdoor life.
There are many tracts of wild
beauty. near lakes and streams.
which could be purchased without
great expense and thrown open to
The public. 1t would not be neces-
sary at present to spend much money
to develop them. But it would al
ways pay to improve the forests. and
remove fire hazards. and so stop the
destruction of such woodlands.
Milford chronicle., 1934-08-17
THE PROFIT MOTIVE

Much is said nowadays in criticism
of what is called the profit motive"
in business. Some people think it
is wrong for business to seek for
profits. There is of course such a
thing as wrong profits. Fraudulent
profits should be punished by law.
and excessive profits should be taxed
so as to reduce them to a normal
level.
But a business can not live with
out honest profits, any more than a
man can live without wages or sal
ary. Profits are the compensation
paid to individuals for managing
business and furnishing the capital
that runs business. That compen-
satiOn may be too high. But if it
is too low. or there are no profits
at all, as is frequently the case,
there is no incentive to engage in
business. and people are thrown out
of work.
1t takes an enormous amount of
capital to provide the country's in
dustrial equipment. its railroads,
machinery. etc. Somebody must be
compensated for providing this
equipment, or it would not exist.
And ii is constantly wearing out,
and nau, oouinnnont r,uct oonctantI,,
be provided.
If the government should under
Socialists want it to do, the profit
motive would be abolished. But the
people would have to pay for this
equipment just the same. 1t would
have to be provided out of taxes. AS
there would be under such a system
no wealthy people to tax, the taxa
tion would have to come out of
everybody's wages and salaries. 1t
would probably be much heavier
than what people have to pay now
in the form of business profits.
When people make money, they |
are able to employ labor and pay
good wages. If there are no profits,
they have to let labor go and pay
poor wages. Profits may be taxed
or regulated, but if you abolish them,
the whole business system stops.

NDUsTRIAL srLFIsHNEss

1--WE are at the threshold of an
even greater battle to save our re-
sources of agriculture and industry
against the selfishness of individ-
uals," said President Roosevelt in
his address at Glacier National Park.
The warfare on selfishness is
nothing new. 1t has been on ever
since the Christian religion was
founded. and long before that. The
old devil of striving for ones self
regardless of the effect on others, is
in most people to some extent. 1t
will take many centuries before that
tough old antagonist is rooted out.
But when people attempt to de-
termine what specific acts are sell
fish, their opinions differ. People
are taught to develop self reliance,
and take care of themselves. and
sometimes they are accused of sell
fishness when they are merely stand
ing up for legitimate rights. But it
is very easy for people to become
so tenacious about their rights, that
they forget the rights of others or
the public.
People should learn that when
they grab too much. they in the
long run hurt themselves. Take the
case of business concern that mis-
the goods it is selling
In a spirit of selfishhess, let us say
that it sells for $1.5O an article that
is not worth more than $1.O0. For
the time being it seems to be max
ing money, by taking advantage of
the inexperience of the public.
But in the long run that selfish
ness is going to hurt. The customer
who bought a poor article and paid
1 good price for it, discovers that
le has been cheated. and he quits
Iuying of that concern and goes
elsewhere. So it is in everything
where people grab more than they
hould. In the long run they suffer
rom their own avarice. Selfishness
las a way of destroying those who
'ractice it.

THE FEDERAL HOUSING ,
E CAMPAIGN

1 The government is now starting
out on a mammoth project to en-
courage the building and renovation
of homes, and the liquidation o.
frozen mortgage assets that have
hindered new construction. The
building trades have probably been
hit harder by depression than any
other industry. If the new act can
! energize them into life again, il
should give general business an i'm
portant push.
The United States normally builds
4OO,O new houses every year. Last
year it built only $4,000. About g.
| 100000 people are unemployed as
the result of this stagnation, and
100000 more are said to owe un-
employment indirectly to this cause.
Every year young people are get
ting married, and they need new
homes. AS one travels about the
country, the need for renovation
stares one in the face. In towns and
cities. millions of homes look shah
by. They need paint, and are run
ming down for lack of it. AS the re-
suit of defective roofs many homes
must be getting serious interior
damage. Enter the homes, and how
shabby and decadent many of them
look
1t is pathetic to go through the
agricultural districts, and see how
many of the farm homes and barns
are absolutely destitute of paint, de-
teriorating every year. There have
been three chief obstacles to re-
covery in the building trades. First.
in borrowing money; sec
ond. high costs of building materials;
third, high costs of building labor.
Probably costs will have to be re-
duced somewhat before the new
plans will be wholly successful.
The government is trying TO en-
courage the investment of $780,
lOO. 900 in construction and renova
ion. Home owners and those de-
string homes should make inquiries
ibout this system. and learn what
[ can do for them.

THE BRIDGE CHAMPS

The American Bridge League is
running a series of games at Allan
tic City in the eighth national con-
tract bridge championships. Our
people admire these champ players
from afar. and wonder how they do
it. Most of us, when we try to play
such a game. can't remember the
cards that have been played, nor can
we tell the signals our agonized part
ners throw at us. nor remember the
long list of rules the experts give
us. So our partners cast withering
looks at us, and next time we sit
down at the card table. we would
like to play old maid or slapjack.
1t takes a brainy person to be a
champ bridge player. We take off
our hats to them But some of us
don't see the difference between
such game and real work.

DISORDERLY PLACES

There are always some people who
keep their property in a disorderly
condition and allow it to become an
eyesore. Thus they hurt the ap-
pearance of their street or neighbor-
hood. The influence of one disor-
derby street spreads to others. I'm
der our old ideas of freedom. no
power is granted to anybody to force
people to clean up such harmful dis
order. Probably in time we shall
see TO it that when people thus toll
crate ugly and disreputable condi-
tions. something should be done
about it,
But meanwhile it is a good thing.
when people maintain eyesores. for
the neighbors to ask them to clean
up. Improvement societies and
business organizations do we'll to
send committees around to ask peo-
pie to join the clean up movement,
and help turn their home town into

THE DROUGHT PROBLEM

Addressing the people of North
Dakota. President Roosevelt frankly
said that he did not know the solu-
tion of the terrible drought problem
that afflicts that state and many
others. As he put it, the people are
up against the forces of nature, and
man can not now control those
forces.
If succeeding years were to be
like the present summer. a great
multitude of these people might as
well quit their homes and go else
where, where nature will give them a
living chance. But nature moves
by cycles. When she gives people
too little rain, she is very apt to go
to the other extreme and give them
plenty, perhaps too much. Many
localities seem to be getting relief
by digging wells. Perhaps that is
a solution that would largely help.

TRAVELS OF PRESIDENTS

The travels of a president seem
like kind of triumphal procession
in which everything moves smoothly.
But to produce that smoothness of
operation. somebody has had to do
lot of worrying, and foreseeing of
possible difficulties or danger.
When President Roosevelt came on
from Ephrata. Washington, to St.
Paul Minnesota, movements of
freight trains were cut off ahead of
him for II hours, pilot train was
sent ahead, and guards were left at
rock cuts, bridges. tunnels. etc. and
switches along the road were spiked.
Such precautions should always be
taken when President travels. We
have in our country a tribe of loose
minded people The troubles of the
depression have unhinged a good
many faculties that were not well
controlled before. There is no tell
ing what such people might do. il
railroad tracks were left unguarded
in front of a presidential train. The
malicious tampering with the rails
might change the history of the ma
tion.
Under the careful guard that is
always given a president, he may
be in no particular danger when he
travels. Yet the people remember
what happened to President McKin-
ley at Buffalo, and what came near
happening to Mr.. Roosevelt at Miami.
Florida
1t is desirable that presidents
should travel. If possible they
should visit every section every
year. Yet such enormous burdens
are loaded on them. more than any
one man can bear. that they can
hardly carry out such a desire.
People may or may not like or
believe in the ideas which a presi-
dent expresses. But he is the chosen
leader of all of us for the term to
which he is elected He should re-
'eive a hearty greeting and a well
come of good cheer wherever he s
goes. s

ed to our country today by editors,

to the fact that the people are the
government, that the constitution
which protects them is the greatest
document in the world guaranteeing
life, liberty and pursuit of happiness
in social and business activity, and
that entertainments and limitations
which are made on it detract from
the opportunities of our citizens.

THE DESIRE 10 FiGHT

What the American people cant
understand about all this mess in
Austria. with fighting and civil war
and the chance of a general inter
national conflict. is how those peo-
pie can contemplate the idea OF
fighting to solve their problems. AS
they have hardly begun to recover
from the World War, they should be
so sick of fighting that they would
not tolerate any public leader who
should make the first move toward
hostilities.
1t sometimes seems as IL those
people really wanted to fight, and
were strutting around with chips on
their shoulders. and inviting their
neighbors to knock them off.
The older people who went through
the World War are not probably
keen about having another one. But
new generation has come on the
stage who were only young children
when the World War was going on.
They have no realization what war
means.
The majority of these youngsters
in several of those countries are in
a state of unrest and emotional ex-
citement, caused by unemployment
and hard economic conditions. They
can find no work. and they think the
entire structure of society must be
wrong. When some passionate and
excitable leader comes along, and |
promises to bring on good times, |
many of them are just gullible |
enough to take his promises at their
face value.
So these excitable young people |
get together in their military and |
other organizations. they threaten
to destroy existing systems of gov
eminent. they pursue policies that
threaten war with other nations.
They are just desperate enough so
they are willing to fight. If real
war should break loose in Europe, it
will be because the hot heads of the
various countries come in conflict
with each other. If they would take
The advice of those who served in
