VOICE OF THE COMMUNITY

The local newspaper is the voice
OF the community. If something
ought to be done in a city or town,
you look to the newspapers to pre-
sent that need to the people. If what
is needed is some action by the state
or some business organization. the
newspaper presents the case for that
action and arouses support for such
a movement.
II the need is something which
the people of the community can sup
ply by their own action, the news
paper voice helps them understand
that need, and persuades them to
act. No town can make much prog
ress. unless it has a good strong
newspaper voice. speaking out for
the towns needs, and calling for the
action that should be taken. When
you buy or advertise in a newspaper.
you help give the town the voice that
i! must have to realize its possible
gains.

SORROWS OF THE FRESHMEN

The upper classmen of colleges
and schools once felt it desirous tc
reduce the freshmen to proper hu-
mility and subjection. So the new
boys were put under the pump,
thrown over the fence, etc. A fresh
man who came to college bubbling
over with assurance was meek
enough after such experiences.
Today there is little hazing of the
older type. About 100 colleges, rec
ognizing that the just arrived fresh
men are lonely and bewildered crea-
lures, have a program for welcoming
them, giving them the college ideas
and enlisting their support for the
various activities.
The freshman away from home is
too bewildered to do himself Justice.
Even at home in High school, be
is often so upset that he can't meet
new conditions with any confidence.
Give the youngster a break!

OUR PEOPLE HAVE their politi-
cal differences, but they will all say
amen" to President ROosevelt's call
to the people to help the private well
fare agencies. When he said that
the government is retiring as fast
as possible from the work of supply
ing emergency home relief, he made
il clear that the people must go the
limit through private welfare agen-
cies TO help the unfortunate and lift
struggling people out OF the Difficult
ties in which they are submerged.
Some folks say America is a land
Of dollar chasers." But it took more
than dollar chasing to produce the
noble record that private charity has
made in the past. 1t was reported
To the President, that the income of
these welfare organizations has
dropped only 13 per cent below that
of 1929
During that period. the income of
the contributors to these organiza-
tions probably dropped a good deal
more than so per cent. Thus while
people have cut out their luxuries.
their trips to Europe, while they
were buying fewer automobiles, they
kept handing out to charity nearly
the same sums as in the boom times.
The people who have made this
noble record can be trusted to i'm
prove on it. now that times are dis
tinctly better. They will do so here
in Delaware. Meanwhile there is a
large element who never have con-
tributed as much as they could to
these noble charities. 1t is not much |
use to tell them what they ought to |
do. Nothing is gained by preaching |
to them or denouncing them when
they fail to give.
But they might be reminded that I
the best happiness comes as the re-
suit of giving. That is a form of joy
that never grows stale, no matter
how much the self centered pleasures
may pail and fade.
Milford chronicle., 1935-10-04
Milford, Friday, October 1, 1885

ONE ITEM IN OUR cost of livinl
is the cost of fires. When Mr.. House
holder growls about the price o
everything, he might ask himsel
how much he may contribute to tina
cost by his own personal careless
ness about fire. That is a good text
on which he can preach a sermon to
himself, on Fire Prevention Week
which begins October Sth.
American habits of carelessness
create a great annual fire loss. To
protect themselves against this mis-
fortune. people take out fire insur-
ance. II they own their own homes.
they pay the bill themselves. If they
rent somebody else's house, the land
lord is entitled to charge enough
more rent to pay for his insurance.
If everyone would use strict care
about fire. the cost OF insurance
could be greatly reduced. But per-
suading people to use more care, is
about like asking them TO use more
prudence in driving their automo-
biles, and thus stop accidents. They
are too much in a hurry to do either
thing.
Fires usually start from some act
of carelessness. If you throw a
burning cigarette into wastebasket,
don't blame anybody and everybody
for your own act. If you allow a
stove or furnace to become over
heated. and if that heater or the
smoke pipe is too near woodwork,
you also should not lay the blame
for a fire of on others.
There are to many people who feel
that because the property is covered
by insurance. therefore they don't
need to use care. AS long as mill
lions of folks take that attitude, we
shall see the fremen get plenty of
exercise, and countless people will
be seen mourning over the black
ened ruins of their homes. and the
loss of cherished belongings that
can never be replaced.
