OWING US A LIVING

THE world owes me a living" is
a strange phrase often heard from
men who have broken the law, or
who won't take hold and really try
to earn a living themselves. 1t is
true that the world recognizes an
obligation to support those who have
made an honest try to earn a living,
and who are unable to do so.
But if people depend upon the
community for support. and make no
effort for themselves, they them
selves are the worst sufferers. The
springs of energy in them dry up,
their characters wither away. We
must all keep scratching, as the
poultry raiser says. and if we
scratch on hard enough, we usually
scratch up the necessaries of life in
due time.

PROFESSIONAL BEGGARs

For years. the people of. many
cities have been pestered by profess
sionaI beggars. These fellows stop
you on the street and ask for money
for coffee or a lunch. Brother, can
you spare a diner has been the
common cry. The most hard hearted
person is touched by their pitiful
appearance. Yet if you give to them,
the majority probably spend the
money for drink or something worse.
The government has already an
nounced plans to locate people of
the transient and vagrant type on
regular jobs. This effort will no
doubt be extended soon over the
whole country. Slips are being
given out, which people can hand to
a beggar, which will give such ones
the right to register at federal
camps for transients, where they
can work for their board.
This plan seems a most excellent
idea. Not merely street beggars,
but people who beg from door to
door should be directed to go to
Dne of these government or other
public agencies. and seek real work,
instead of depending upon peoples
good nature.
There are too many frauds among
he professional beggars. and many

PRODUCTS OF MID.WINTER

In nature. winter is a period OF
quiescence. As you go farther
north, Nature sinks deeper and deep
er into her retreats. As the hiber-
mating animals retire into their dens,
and live in semi-comatose condi-
tiOn, so Nature takes her long sleep.
during which she accompIislies no
growth, but is storing up strength
for work to come.
a In social and community life. the
opposite condition exists. The en-
.terprises of cities and towns, of So
.cieties and clubs, which are sus-
pended in warm weather, are at the
height of their activity in winter.
II is the chance to get things done,
when people are willing to take time
for public movements.
II takes work to raise farm crops,
and it takes work equally to pro-
duce good harvests in our commun-
ity life. The town where few people
are willing to do any digging for
business and educational results, is
like the field where the farmer said
it was too hot weather to cultivate
his products.

TAKING BACHELORS

The New Hampshire state grange
has been making study of tax prob
lens. and among the suggestions re-
ceived from its members is the idea
that bachelors should be taxed. The
federal government and some of the
states give higher exemptions now
on income taxes to married people
than are allowed the bachelors.
which practically amounts to a tax
on these unmarried people.
Bachelors can probably afford to
pay better than most married coup
les. But since most men marry at
a relatively early age. we can't pay
any considerable part of the national
debt out of the bachelors. They
have about all they can do to elude
designing females. without setting
the tax collector after them any
more.

BACK TO THE FARM

Several hundred Jewish organiza-
tions are discussing plans for $780,
100000 farm project, which would
provide farm settlements for their
people. Probably most of these folks
would be taken out of congested
neighborhoods in cities. When you
transfer such a family from some
human beehive, out on a farm where
the birds sing and the air is tonic.
it seems a great social gain. But q
market must be found for the pro-
ducts of these people, and we are
too much farm stuff now.
Perhaps they can be made self sup
porting. by exchange of products
among the members of the colony.
SO they will not have to sell things
in competition with exist
ing farms.
Milford chronicle., 1934-01-12
COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS

Back in our grsndfathers' days,
there we're practically no ofganiza-
'tions formed to promote the develop
ment of cities and towns. Lacking
such societies, cities and towns re-
mained stagnant. Then people be-
gan to organize town improvement
societies, which did much good work,
like planting trees, creating parks,
etc.
The next movement was usually
the formation Of Boards of Trade,
Chambers of Commerce, etc. They
promoted business progress and CO.
operation. But II is not enough to
form such organizations. The peo-
pie must join them in large num-
bers, be willing. to pay reasonable
dues, SO that they can carry on ac-
tive work. And it is equally impor-
tant to attend the public meetings
Of such societies. If a meeting is
called to consider some local prob
lem. and only a handful of people
attend, what incentive is given to
energy and enterprise?

WAR OFFENDERS

Some 1900 people feel happier to-
day, because President Roosevelt
has restored their citizenship rights,
which were withdrawn because of
their public opposition to American
participation in the World War. Sem
timent regarding participation in the
war has greatly changed in IS years.
II all those who think the United
States failed to grasp the whole SIT
uation when it entered that war,
were to be jailed. it might take
large part of the population. Most of
these offenders were probably con-
scientious people who stuck by their
principles in the face of great un-
popularity. Whatever may be
thought of their conduct. it is clear
that the United States will not
again enter such a war in any hur-
~.
Milford chronicle., 1934-01-12
NILE VS.. FEMALB

The fightine spirit OF the male ami
NAL. according to a noted scientific
observer, keeps the world in turmoil.
These and similar conclusions were
presented to the recent meeting OF
the American Society OF Naturaiists.
1t was stated that among ali back
boned animals, including men, apes.
dogs, ETC., the fghting spirit Of the
male is very disturbing element
But in groups of insects ruled BY
the females, there is a smooth and
peaceful form of activity. 1t was
added, that If the female elements
managed human society, life would
be comfortable, but dull and un-
progressive.
The non-scfentifc observer would
probably agree that men are much
more inclined toward fighting than
women. Practically all armies
throughout world history have been
organized from the men. Somehow
the women seem to have the, sense
to see that fighting does not accom-
plisli results. Yet women apparent
ly have as bitter passions and as
strong dislikes and hates as men
1t is frequently remarked. in regard
to bitterness left behind by wars,
that women cherish such harsh
feelings even more than the men.
AS to the idea that a society led
by women would be dull and unprO-
gressive, many will doubt that
theory. They will find the women
very keenly interested in social re-
forms. Innumerable women gather |
weekly in clubs to consider such /
measures. but It would |
be hard to get as many men out to
juchmeetings.
The community can not progress
without the work OF both sexes. The
i'd idea that the men should do the
and that the women
hould stay at home and keep house
md look after the children, is
thoroughly discredited now. Not
many people would care to go back
o that idea.

4 2eOO YEAH OLD FAMILY

The little son just born to the
Japanese emperor ana empress. is
to be the 125th mikadc Of that en-
pfre. and the line OF that family is
said to run back 1900 years. Six
centuries before Christ trod the
plains Of Galilee, the ancestors of
that wee mite we're ruling imperial
Japan.
In most countries, one line of
kings and emperors has succeeded
another, until recently when most
of them we're overthrowh. But the
royal family of Japan marches along
century after century. The Japanese
emperor has little real power and is
governed by the decisions Of a coun-
Gil of statesmen. But it seem strange
to the American people; who change
their rulers every four or eight
years, to see one family at the head
of a government for 26 centuries.
Milford chronicle., 1934-01-12
REACHING OUT

Are you a stationary sort of per-
son. or do you reach out for better
things? The business man, the
farmer, the worker, who just stands
still in his tracks. satisfied with
what he had yesterday. and trying
merely to keep that, has no reason
to feel any great confidence in the
future. The world moves too fast
for such ones.
The business concern, i'm particu-
lar, must constantly reach out for
new trade. Old customers move
away. some of them pass away, and
peoples habits change and they go
around from place to place to buy
things. A concern needs to adver-
tise to hold its own in the changing
world, and it must advertise more
and more to make gains.
Milford chronicle., 1934-01-12
InRS CAN BE HAD

In times like these, some people
become too easily discouraged, while
others keep hustling, and they hus-
tie harder than ever. A friend who
is closely in touch with relief work
in one of the larger cities remarks,
that as a usual thing jobs can be
had. by those who show persistence
i'm hunting for them.
The easily discouraged man says,
nobody is putting anybody to work. :"
But that is not the truth. Vacan-
cies are always being caused by i'll
health, sickness, death, removal
from place to place. Besides that,
there has been a marked expansion
of business during the past year,
which creates a demand for new
workers.
The Christmas trade in most parts
of the country was way ahead Of
last year, which released a vast
amount of money into circulation,
creating new demands for goods.
That has made it possible TO put on
more help in countless establish
ments.
It takes good deal of persistence,
when one had hunted for work for
a long time, and has not been able
to find it, to keep hustling. Some
men go down hill under that expert
ence. They neglect their personal
appearance, they forget to shave
every day, until finally they look SO
down and out that employers hesi-
tate to give them jobs.
II is comforting to know that
many people previously idle are be-
ing put to work, and the bright and
energetic person ought not to lie
down discouraged while these new
openings are appearing. People
should watch the Want Ads in the
newspapers, keep writing letters Of
application, and devote all their pos
sible strength to search for the
work. 1t is the testimony of many
who have thus kept hustling, that
they finally landed something that |
looks rather permanent.

SCIENTIFIC GOVERNMENT

The idea that scientists should
manage the affairs of government
and human relations was advocated
in utterances before the recent meet
ing of the American Association for
the Advance of Science. Many of
our customers and habits and meth
ods could be greatly improved. it
was held. if handled in a scientific
way.
The scientists can tell us what
ought to be done, but when it comes
to dealing with tough old human
nature, it is not so easy. There we
have to use the politician, who has
the art OF persuading people to do
things. But the politicians need to
pay more respect to science, and try
to do things in a scientific way,
rather than for political advantage.

YOUR OWN STREET

3 As resident I'm Milford, you are
not merely a citizen of that COM
munity, but you are a member of a
certain group of people who live on
your street. The people of that
street should feel a pride in its sp-
pearahce. They should be ashamed
TO let that street fall behind other
streets in neatness. Even If your
street does not contain as handsome
homes as some others, yet il it
keeps we'll up in neatness and care,
your street is as good as any street.
II we will spend less time criti-
cizing the home town, and more in
keeping up our own homes and
HeighborhoOds, we shall have a

THE STATESMEN
. AT WASHINGTON


The senators and representatives
are now gathered in Washington for
the session of Congress, and anxiety
is felt as to how well they will re-
spOnd to the needs of the time. Some
Of them go down there simply as
representatives OF their own dis
tricts or states. II a certain policy
seems likely to help their own To-
cality, they are for it, and they do
not consider whether it will hurt
the rest of the country.
There are others who realize that
policy will not help any state or
district, unless it helps the whole
country. II certain law produces
disaster in some section, it is sure
to hurt the whole country, because
the section that thus suffers can not
buy the products of other states. The
success or failure of the present ses-
sion depends on how strong support
shall be given for these broad poll
cies aimed to help the whole cOun-
try.

THE JOB BEFORE CONGRESS

The Congress of the United States
is again in session, and the people
look to it for acts of broad states
manship and constructive measures.
The people are impatient of excessive
political talk. Many statesmen
would exercise more influence if they
could condense their thoughts into
30 minute addresses.
Also the people are tired of po-
litical maneuvering. They don't
want to see one party doing things
merely to hold the offices. or the
other party doing things merely to
get back into power. They want
the two parties to disregard the
question of the election to come
next fall, and to buckle down to
work regardless of party lines.
People of course can't all agree
on what shall be done. The only
places where there are no disagree
ments arc lands of tyranny where
people do not dare say what they
think, or lands Of sluggish life,
where people are too lazy to bother
about the government. If people
feel that the acts of the govern
ment are wrong. they have the right
and it is their duty to speak up.
But those who listen to them are
quick to. see if they are considering
only their own personal advantage,
or if they are thinking of what will
benefit the nation as a whole.
The Congressman should not be
required to spend most of their time
running around to find Offices for
their constituents, or clamOring for
favors for their respective districts.
They are supposed to be statesmen,
people capable of deciding great ma !
tional questions. not mere errand |
boys. employment agents, or petit
TONERS for shares of government
pork.
The job before the present session
is to correct defects in the recovery
plans, and do things that will en-
courage business to go ahead and
employ labor 1t should not be di-
verted from this great task by clam
or for personal favOrs.

THE FOOD STORE CODE

President Roosevelt has signed
the NRA code governing 100000
stores that handle food products. II
is a tremendous proposition thus to
regulate all these big and little
units.
The attempt TO control such an
enormous industry can not be a
complete success from the start
There will be many loopholes
through which people can slip IL
they are not too conscientious. But
II there can be sincere attempt to
carry out the aims which this code
is attempting to realize, it will
mean a better day for the United
States. II should put more people

competition that tend to destroy
business rather than create IL.

TOWN AND COUNTRY

We have wonderful country here
in America, but after all that coun-
try is made up Of cities and towns
more or less like Milford. Delaware.
10 things go weil in the home towns,
they win 60 wen in the country.
Much time is spent by people in
thinking what the country should
do to solve its problems. But the
solution Of those problems is not
mainly at Washington or the state
capitals, but right in communities
like ours. II people show faith, en-
terprise. industry. a generous ma
ture. and public spirit in our life
in those towns, the aggregate of ali
these efforts put together makes a
good country and solves national
problems.

RIDING THE sAWHORsE


Wood chopping contests are noted
in the news from some country
towns, and theyareesll the times
when the saving and choppingo of
wood was once a very common ac-
tivity in every country town and
many larger places. The cheerful
sound Of the saw was heard on every
street. 1t was punctuated with the
ringing of the axes, as the large
pieces of wood were reduced to
stove size.
Every village had its noted wood
.sawyers, who boasted of the large
woodpiles which they could saw and
split in day. 1t was time when
people took pride in the amount of
work they could do, a sentiment
that is not too common now.
Woodsawing was also a favorite
stunt to hand out to the boys. If
Johnny wanted money for a sport
ing outfit, he was led out to the
woodpile. 1t looked awful big, but
a dollar looked big also, and many
a boy put through his stunt. and it
didn't hurt him a particle.
The former emperor OF Germany,
on entering his exile in Holland.
was not too toplofty to despise the
and his daily exercise at
that useful tool is said to have been
very helpful to his physical condi-
tion.
The sawhorse was once a wonder
full means of determining whether !
4 begging vagrant was sincere in
mis- desire for work. Show him a
and you very soon got an
dea whether his wish for labor was
real.
Today the sawhorse is not so often
jeen. Wood is sawed and split by
and much toiIsome labor
s saved. The use of coal and other
ueis reduces the demand for fuel
Food. But no doubt many homes
till make use of the good old saw
lorse, and those who rode that an
lent critter say it is splendid exer-
Use.
