ABOLISHING POVERTY

Poverty is wrong and is unneces'
sary," said Harry L. Hopkins, fed
eral emergency relief administrator
in his Christmas message. That is
absolutely true. But to realize that
ideal in daily life, a good many peo-
pie must abandon the habits that
made them poor.
/ We see many people today who
suffer from poverty through no fault
%, theirs. Through somebody's fault,
vast organizations of industry fail
to function normally. 1t should. be
the first aim of every patriotic Amer
ican to make this superb machinery,
which has no equal in the world,
operate as it should and can.
While inability to find work may
be considered the principal cause Of
poverty, it is not the only one. The
man who spends his last dollar for
drink of liquor. will still suffer
from poverty even if all the fac
tories run full time. The man who
CANDLES away the money that should
&c into fuel for the home and shoes
for the children, is not going to be
helped by any measures of economic
reform.
The man who would. rather suffer
pain than do a good days work, also
will still be poor for quite some
years.
There is the chance that some Of
these people who thus make their
own nests of poverty could have |
been reformed, if the work of amend
ment had begun early enough. If |
they had been taught in early child
hood to like to work, that work is
an absolute necessity of life, they
would not yield so easily to the
weakness and. vices that now place
a curse on their feeble lives. Our
social system will not be perfect
until all children are surrounded by
influences that will make them full
1f ambition and teach them self
control. The curse that creates
poverty for weak and vicious people
5 no mere superficial thing that you

lands Something in the very fiber
# personality must be toned up.

THE CURFEW

A newspaper item informs us that
fire siren signal at Culver City
California, warns minors that $50
p. m. is the time to go home. Some
of us would like to know how many
of the minors obey that solemn re-
minder, and how generally that idea
persists in the United States. Here
in Milford there is a condition pre-
vailing among class of young peo=
pie, that such laws would be help
full.
Some years ago, there was a move
ment to have curfew ring all over
the country at some early hour in
the evening, as a sign that children
must leave the streets and go home.
Many towns adopted the plan. The
children would sleep sounder and
study better, if they obeyed such a
call. But the younger generation
acquires independence much earlier
than it did when curfew first rang.
The time when the evening used to
end for boys and girls, is the time
when it begins now in many youth
full circles.

WHAT HAS 1885 FOR Us!

1t is easy to look back at a pas
year, and pronounce a verdict on its
successes and failures, but the wisest
person is baffled when he looks in
to the future. The most glowing
predictions often turn to dust and
ashes. But a scene that is obscured
by dark clouds often turns out full
of brightness and sunshine.
The prospects for a good, year in
1885 are really better than they
were on January /, 1929, at which
time the world was stepping high
with joyful confidence. In that
needless spirit, we walked into a
trap that the fates had laid for too
bumptious states of mind.
Today we are not threatened by
the accumulated dangers which the
follies of the people had created.
The principal obstacle to industrial
progress is found in the fears of
the people. If all at once, the peo-
pie could recover confidence in the
future, if they could feel that the
factories were all going to run and
the farms get good prices, they
would spend money freely for the
things they need. In a short time
the industrial machine would be run
ming as usual.
Considering all that has happened,
it is natural for people to feel such
fears. But if something could be
done to remove those apprehensions,
we should, see a grand business re-
vival. People have a tendency to
recover from fear after they have
trembled for a time, and this better
feeling is creating a steady gain.
Many prophets say there will be
war during 1885. But not many peo-
pie want any war The world is in
a different temper from 1914, when
the angry nations of Europe were in
mood to fight. Altogether the sun
seems to be breaking through the
clouds, and many and large patches
of blue sky give cheer to the land
scape.

1884 IN WORLD HISTORY

What will the history students Oi
future years say, when they look
back at 1884? Will they say it has
brought the world farther along on
the journey of progress?
The world has been greatly troub-
led during 1884 by constant threats
OF conflict. The dogs of war are
pulling at their leashes, showing
their teeth. and emitting fierce
growls of hate. The bitterness of
contending elements was demon
strated in three terrible crimes, when
Chancellor Dollfuss of Austria, King
Alexander of Yugoslavia, and For
eign Minister Barthou of France,
were laid low by the hand of des-
perate assassins. Europe has been
boiling ever since.
And yet somehow they do not
fight. The peoples of Europe are
weary of war, and the most power
full forces in Europe say there must
not be any such insane struggle.
Japan has not helped matters any
by its refusal to continue the treaty
for naval limitation, but there is no
eviGance that that country wants
any war
The United States was harassed
by a drought of unprecedented Sc
verify. The results will be felt in
every home The government has
made great efforts to produce indus
trial revival, and the heavy Christ
mas trade is ne sign that forces are
il molten working powerfully for
better times.
The nation passed through Bit
ter political campaign, in which the
majority gave the government a vote
Of confidence, and. told it to go
ahead. Whether the gains recorded
are due to the policies of the gov
ernment, or to natural causes that
always lift us out of the mud, is a
matter of dispute. The American
people don't care very much who or
what ends the depression, provided
i. is ended
Milford chronicle., 1935-01-04
NATIONAL UNITY

President Roosevelt in his Christ
mas message called for union o
all the people in devotion to humal
welfare in this country. This is /;
need which we all feel, but unity II
about the hardest thing to accom-
plish in this world.
To the majority of people. things
are black or white. The people they
believe in are honest and generous
and trustworthy, while those they
disbelieve in are dishonest and sell
fish. But life is not built in that
sharply defined way.
Most of the people who are en-
titled to be considered excellent
have their own pet faults. Mean
while those who are looked on with
contempt may never have had fair
chance in the world.
Most thoughtful people who look
back at their history have to admit
that many times in the past their
views have been wrong and mis-
taken. So when people announce
very positive views about govern
ment and business, they might re-
fleet that these are changing times,
and the ideas that seemed good yes
terday may not look equally fine to-
morrow.
When there are sharp differences
of opinion on any question between
large bodies of people, there usually
is some merit in each contention. 1t
should be the business of a good
citizen to study both sides of such
question impartially, and then try
to see where the real truth lies be-
tween these extremes.
If we can get a majority of peo-
pie in this country who will thus
cast aside all their old prejudices,
and examine the issues of the times
with view to getting only the
truth, the facts, and the lessons of
practical experiecne, we shall get
rid of much of the conflict that
hinders social progress and eco
lomic recovery.

INCREASES IN SAVINGS

Savings banks in many cities are
reporting considerable increases in
their deposits. Some people think
that just now it is more useful to
spend money than to save it. Yet a
large part of the money deposited
in savings account banks and saw
ings accounts is loaned to home
builders, so it helps put idle labor
to work.
1t is natural that many folks who
got their fingers burned in the re-
cent depression should want to salt
away some money. They feel bet
ter for every dollar they thus de-
posit. After they accumulate con-
siderable sum, they will feel con-
fdence themselves. and. impart that
feeling to others. The spread of
this optimism thaws out the rem
nants of depression like a spring
sun eating it's way int northern
snow banks
Milford chronicle., 1935-01-04
ELECTED TO OFFICE

The people who hold office in thS
federal, state, county, city and towI
government form a great army
The size of this army continually
increases, while the taxpayer
groans. But anyway, the chances
that anyone who aspire to office car
secure some kind of a public post
are fairly good, if one has any con-
ception of the game of politics.
But there is another army still
greater, consisting of the people who
hold office in community organiza-
tions everywhere, churches, frater-
nal societies, clubs, business and
athletic and social organizations,
etc. A person who has any gift OF
leadership or activity, or who is
willing to do any kind of work, won't
have to struggle very hard. to find
himself chosen to office in one or
more of these societies. Indeed, he
may be considered lucky If he isn't
chosen to boss the affairs of a dozen
of them.
The majority of these organiza-
tions are about to choose these of
ficers for the year 1885. The bal
lots are being distributed. the boxes
are passed to receive the votes.
Soon the community will know who
are to manage its activities for the
coming year. There will be speech
and some impressive cere-
monies. to celebrate the entrance of
these new officers to their official
duties.
People have a right to feel hon
Ored when their neighbors choose
them to take the lead in some good
society. 1t means they are cOnsid-
cred to have elements of ability.
Some folks are as much set up when
hey become a High Mucker Muck
in some organization, as if they
we're elected to an important office
II the government. Such honors
mean more hard work than thanks.
Yet they enable one to make friends,
gain more power, and accomplish
for the home town.

EVERYBODY MUST OBEY

But even if we assume that out
Of 5O,O00,000 American workers only
100000 have escaped regimenta-
tion, it is a very high percentage of
freedom compared with the new
RECOMMENDATION as practiced in many
foreign quarters. Here is not a
question of 80 per cent giving march
ing orders to 20 per cent, but of a
minute fraction of 1 per cent Civ
ing orders to 80 per cent plus.
The WORD. RECOMMENDATION" is in
one way misleading. It does not
mean that in an army consisting of
500 regiments unity is enforced only

THE POWER OF THE HANDSHAKE

1t is not surprising that success
full politicians are usually good
handshakers. They know the value
of a warm handclasp and bright
smile. They have learned that when
they greet people cordially, and
show personal interest in such folks,
they are likely to get the support of
these people.
A good many folks both old and
young who are trying to make their
way in the world, need to know that
principle. When they act as if they
were glad to see people. as if they
liked people and wanted to know
them better, they make business
friends. If you are working as a
clerk in a store, and you look cold
and grouchy when some customer
you, don't expect him to
come around to buy things of you
very often.
