THE CONTENTED TOWN

People are contented in some
towns. and in some they are not so
In the contented town. all people
ask is that their job and their bust
ness shall continue to give them a
living. so they can stay right on
But in discontented towns. many
of them are constantly longing to
go elsewhere.
What makes the difference? First,
ability to earn living. People are
never happy in a community where
there is no live business and work
for them to do. Second, good ad-
vantages and pleasant life. Fam
lilies having children are not con-
tented in town that has inadequate
schools. And there must be pleas
ant social activities. In COM
munity where there Is nothing do
ing for entertainments and club
life. people become restless.

BUILDING UP TRADE

The problem of how to build up
the trade of business concern or
a town is not usually a question of
some spectacular stroke which will
attract attention and win business.
Rather it is a question of slow,
steady, patient work to please peo-
pie. 1t is the day by day effort to
collect a stock Of reliable goods
which can be sold at low and fair
prices, and to so handle it as to
please the buyers enough so they
will return.
1t also involves the idea Of per-
sonal relations between the busi-
ness concern and its salespeople on
one side. and the buying public on
the other. Every time a salesman
shows personal interest in his GUS
toners and impresses them with the
idea that he is eager to satisfy them,
he accomplishes something to build
up the trade of his employer and his
home town.
Milford chronicle., 1934-09-21
REMEMBERING NAMES

Some people have a marvellous
knack of making friends in business.
One way they do it. is by remember
ing the names of the people they
meet. If they are working as clerks
in a store. and they sell goods to
a man one day. they make a careful
note of his name and scrutinize his
face carefully. They are very care
full to call him by name whenever
they meet him.
Politicians have that gift, and it
helps them get elected. Business
people must have 1t. if they are to
get elected to promotion and sue
cess. If you can't remember peo-
pies names, better make a list of
those you meet each day, and look
over the list from time to time, to
make sure you keep them in mind.
1t will help you in any occupation.

IN TINES OF DANGER

As people have read of the ter
rible experience of the passengers
and crew of the burning Morro
Castle. the thought has come into
many minds, What would l do if
placed in such dreadful position?
Would | commit some selfish act that
should deprive some weaker person
of a chance for safety?'
Such an hour of trial shows what
is really inside of people, whether
they have real courage or heroism
or self sacrifice. OF course people
who are made hysterical by such
scene of terror. should not be Sc
verely judged. They might do things
from impulse or prompted by hu-
man terror, that they regretted
moment afterward. "'.. CO.,
People in such scenes are apt to
lose their power of judgment and
reason. Survivors of that burn
ing ship reported that a good many
more might have escaped. had they
been willing to jump from those
smoking decks into the sea. as they
were advised to do. The lifeboats
were ready to pick them up, and
these boats were not full and could
have carried a good many more.
But anything as solid as ships
deck. even if it was likely to burn,
would look preferable to many folks
than a jump into those dark and
swirling waters, particularly for
many who can't swim a stroke. They
would fear they would sink and
never rise.
The way people act in scene of
peril will be largely governed by
the way they react to the expert
ences of daily life. If they are ac-
customed to be generous and help
full to others, and to use common
sense and judgment. they will be
more likely to act that way in a
of peril.

THE PEOPLES MONEY

Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau argues that the profit" OBJ
tanned by the devaluation of the gold
dollar. which amounts to $4,000, ,OOO,-
900, can be used eventually to reduce
the government debt by that amount.
There has been and will be much
argument about the merits and de-
merits of this plan of reducing the
gold value of the dollar. The aver
age man is bewildered by these argu-
ments. What he does understand.
however. is the amount which his
dollar will buy at the store. If
his dollar continues to buy reason
able amount Of supplies. they can
devalue the dollar all they want to.
for all of him. But IL such devalua-
ton should raise prices. to an un-
reasonably high figure. then look out.
A howl would go up that would be
heard from Maine to California.

CHILDREN IN THE STREETS

The children return from their
vacations. they pass daily to and
from their school buildings again.
They have to learn to cross streets
and not get run over by automobiles.
They toss balls to and fro, and if
the ball drops into the street, they
run out OF get it, even IL a car is
coming at swift clip. What shall
we do to keep the little folks from
these perils?
II would seem that automobiles
should be driven slowly and careful
ly in streets where children are
passing. so the little folks would
be safe. II seems heartless to tear
through a street at a high rate of
speed. when a thoughtless child may
at any moment dart out from behind
q parked car.
1t is just as important to teach
children to keep out of the street
as to teach them to read. The
father who spanks his small child
whenever the youngster gets out in
the automobile track. seems to have
the right idea.

THE FREE PRESS

Dorothy Thompson Mrs. Sinclair
Lewis) has been required to leave
Germany. because of an article she
printed more than two years ago,
which gave unfavorable impressions
of Chancellor Hitler.
The American people will be
thankful that in our country no one
thinks of such measures as that. II
every newspaper writer who printed
unfavorable impressions of some po-
litical leader. were required to leave
the couBtry when that leader at
tained power, We should have few
newspaper workers left. If the coun-
try is to make any gains. We must
have a free press. When people can
comment freely on their government,
public officials should be able to see
the necessity OF correcting their err
rors. and they have an incentive for
doing so.

BACKING UP THE SCHOOLS

Education is the heaviest expense
OF American government, at least in
normal times. In ordinary years
more is spent by most communities
for schools than for roads, police, or
fire protection. The American peo-
pie are extremely generous with
their schools. They believe in edu-
cation. They have noticed how edu-
Gated people usually fare better in
life than uneducated ones.
1t may prove necessary to reduce
school appropriations. and teachers
may have to make sacrifices as well
as other people. But so far as pos
sible. the American people must con-
tinue to be generous with their
schools. Our children are our best
possession and must he well trained
for life.
But money alone does not procure
the results desired. The parents
have a function to perform. Unless
they cooperate with the schools.
some force is lacking. Teachers will
feel that there is an unseen indif-
ference or opposition with which
they have to contend
If pupils have difficulty in school,
some parents jump to the conclusion
that the children are right and the
teacher was wrong. If unruly and
indolent children are backed up in
their attitude. it is di cult for teach
ers to do anything with them. In
such cases it would be better if par
ents would visit their school, and
talk the situation over with the
teacher. They would usually find
that the child" was. in the wrong.
Some parents allow their children
to stay up late evenings. attend par
ties and play games so continuous
ly that they have little time or ener-
gy for study. Let the young peo-
pie have a good time" is the motto
in many homes. They won't have
good times in future, if they don't
learn their lessons.

FHE BUREAU OF RELTEF

According to a statement from the
Presidents executive council, 5,00O,-
900 families will probably need re-
| lief when the worst Of the load is
felt next February. Such figures
show the extent of the burden which
Uncle Sans broad back has to car
ry. He can and will carry it, but
everything possible must be done by
taxation to prevent such a heavy
debt from being rolled up that it
will take a whole generation to pay
II OF.
It is somewhat easy to say that
the rich people can and must pay
this bill. But as long as there are
tax exempt bonds in which they can
legally invest their money, there is
no way to make them pay 1t all. The
taxes will be felt in a hundred diff
ferent ways that we do not realize.
The tax collectors will be every
where, and anyone who has any
money will have to come across.

MONEY 0UT OF HIDINa

Enormous increases In bank de-
posits are reported by the compt-
roller of the currency. For many
months, people were taking their
money out of banks. They put much
of it into gold, hiding it in deposit
vaults, concealing II in their homes.
All that withdrawal Of money helped
to tie business into hard knots, and
spread distrust and pessimism all
over the land.
Money in hiding is like the talent
buried in the ground in the old
Biblical parable. People are given
money that they may exchange it
for other products and thus provide
employment for the people. But
when money hides. the people whom
it might employ lie idle.
1t is a fundamental step in eco
nomic progress to see the money
come out of its retreats, and have it
placed in the commercial system
where 1T is available for the needs
of industry. That great supply OF
money which can be loaned is like
the foundation of a house. The
whole structure rests on it. People
will not long allow a good founda-
tion to lie idle.
Disappointment is felt because the
great volume of reserves in the
banking system is not being loaned
out faster for the industries. That
will come in due time. The banks
were blamed in boom times for
lending money too freely, and it is
natural enough that they should use
caution now.
We have passed through a very
upsetting period, which creates fear
in the minds of both lenders and
borrowers. AS business people be-
come better used to the present sit
uation. they will know what they
can depend upon. and the vast vol.
ume of banking reserves will flow
out more freely. setting idle people |

A WOMAN PRESIDENT

Mrs. Franklin d. Roosevelt. speak
ing over the radio. says it would
not be impossible for a woman to be
elected President, but she thinks
that at present the majority of the
people would not be satisfied to fol-
low the leadership and trust the
judgment of a woman president.
However. many countries have
prospered under woman rulers and
leaders. The greatness>of England
is said to have begun during the
reign of Queen Elizabeth. Catherine
II of Russia was a ruler of great
ability, and the power of Russia in
creased under her reign. Joan Of
Arc is more venerated in France than
any man leader the country ever
had.
1t will probably be a long time
before any woman acquires political
power enough to win a presidential
election. But the world has had
great woman leaders in the past. and
will have them again.

The Political Situation
BY JULIAN MASON

Republicans can take the Maine

of looking at it. And that is bad
enough.
But, worse than that, is this new

viewed. IL must be taken as a sud-
den actual embodiment of what has
heretofore been considered a mere
ly possible, or theoretical, evil of
the New Deal. That is the buying
of a state by government expendi-
lures within its borders.
Instantly, the political instinct of
the. country has fastened on this as
the real meaning of Names break
ing all records in electing a Demo-
cratic governor to a second tern.
This is not to say that the old in
depreciation has not also been made.
The adage. "As goes Maine, so goes
the Union" has properly been used
as a, political DOrtent, bad for the
Republicans. The stock tickers at
once announced the result as an in
dication of a practically unreduced
Democratic majority in the next
Congress.
Realists must accept the Maine
vote as a direct blow at Republican
strength. Sentiment has not turned
against the New Deal to the degree
that had been hoped. The Republi-
can party is lot farther back than
it's leaders have believed There is
no use blinking that political fact.

WARNING AGAINST PACIFIsM

Guiles Davenport, author and war
CORES pondent, tells his audiences
that the nations of the world are
entering on a period of warfare. and
he feels that a pacifistic attitude
ignores these dangers. 1t seems a
gloomy prospect to contemplate, if
the world has learned nothing from
its supreme follies of 1914-1S. If
they can go through that hell of
horror, and want any more of it,
the human race seems to need a
guardian appointed over it.
But the world is as it is. and we
have to take it so. The nations for
merly found it easy to borrow money
for wars, but it will not be so from
now on. Wars cost heap of money.
and inability to borrow money for
that purpose is a powerful factor
working for peace.
