THE GRIGHT TO DIE"

A campaign has been started in
England to permit the taking of life
under proper restrictions, when peo-
ple are suffering from incurable dis
eases. It is argued that people have
a fright to die" when they are en-
during great suffering, and the best
medical advice says they can't pos
sibly be cured.
Eminent American physicians are
0uoted as disapproving of such
plans. They hold it is not safe to
say that diseases are incurable. The
wonders of medical discovery may
yet provide some new remedy for
maladies now regarded as hopeless.
Also If the right is given to take
anybody's life as means of ending
his hopeless suffering, that power
might be abused. Inscriptions per-
sons might end someone's life when
he had a real chance of recovery.
while there's life, there's hope"
Life is the most sacred thing on the
earth. When the divine spark has
been breathed into previously inert
matter, it is the gift of God. II seems
an act of sacrilege to deliberately
blow out that feeble spark, for the
reasons proposed.
But public sentiment is more lib
eral in regard to proper use Of OPT
ates. In former years, when people
we're in deathly agony from some in
durable disease, many doctors would
hesitate TO give them the drugs that
would deaden that pain, on the the
ory that such treatment might short |
en- their lives. So people used often
TO suffer horribly without the relief
they might have had.
These matters can well be left to
the Judgment and conscience of the
medical fraternity. The doctors have
a keen sense of their duty to pre-
serve life, yet feel it also their duty
10 use modern knowledge to relieve
pain.

GIRL VINO Makes YOn nam

that such a girl is thinking more of

So better be careful, girls. how
you allow the boy friend to fret and

TOWN PTANNTNa IDRAs

Some new ideas Of town planning
are being worked out in several Of
the governments low cost housing
projects. Means Of preventing street
accidents are being considered. In
several Of these plans, it is expected
the houses will be built next the
streets, while the sidewalks will be
placed behind the houses, facing on
a parked area. Also underpasses are
to be built at the intersections of
sidewalks and streets, so people can
cross streets without chance of get
ting hurt.
The record Of accidents in streets
is something terrible. The public will
sympathize with efforts to reduce
these hazards. But unless the people
cooperate with such plans, not so
much will be gained.
Underpasses at congested corners
in crowded cities would save many
accidents. But in the ordinary resi-
dence neighborhood, where there is
not much traffic, there is some ques-
tion if people would use them. If it
would take half a minute longer to
20 down and up stairs through a
kind of subway, the majority Of peo-
Dle might prefer to dart across the
street on the surface level.
It might work the same in regard
to placing the sidewalks behind the
houses. Some people might prefer to
walk in the street, so the chances OF
accident would be increased rather
than diminished.
If such plans would keep children
from playing and walking in the
streets, accidents would be saved.
But If the children took a notion to
walk in the street because the side
walks had been moved to the other
side of the houses, nothing would
probably be gained. Such expert
ments will be watched with interest
to see how they actually work, since
the people want everything possible
done to reduce accidents.

RALANCING THE BUDGET

The National Economy League re-
Gently took a straw vote among daily
newspaper editors, to find if they ad-
vocated balancing of the national
budget. It has S77 replies to these
inquiries, out of which S59 supported
the idea of making the federal bud
get balance during the year begin
ming July 1.
It may be surmised that many edi-
tors declined to answer these Ques-
tions, feeling that the emergency
needs of the nation are so great that
a balanced budget can not be hoped
for so early as the above date. Yet
when newspaper people. including
members of both political parties,
vote by S59 to Is in favor of GER
tain plan, it would look as if the
newspaper press generally supports
this idea.
Editors and publishers are busi-
ness people who know what consti-
tutes soIvency and what runs risks
of insolvency. If a business spends
twice as much as it takes in for a
period of years, that concerns tu-
ture is dubious. It's a mighty fine
thing to make improvements and act
generously. But unless the plans for
raising money are as effective as
those for spending it, a business en-
terprise that runs deeper in the hole
each year is headed for trouble.
More taxes for balancing the bud
get will be highly unpopular. But
there is one thing that is worse than
taxes. and that is apprehension ex-
cited by the policy Of running deeper
into debt. The business man shiVers
and shakes when such policy runs
too long.
The American people have acted
with great generosity in relieving
the needs Of the unemployed. They
have manifested their faith in their
country by drawing heavily on their
credit, to keep everybody from hun
ger and want. But if that policy Is
going to do them lasting good, they
would better begin considering how

EMERGENCY NEEDS

A thousand emergencies arise in
the home which call for prompt ae-
tion. If the boy tears his trousers,
you need another pair at once to fit
him out for school. II someone falls
sick you must have medicines and
sick room supplies at once. If your
rake or shovel drops to pieces, you
need another right away. If your ia
vorite chair breaks down, you will
probably want to buy another soon.
For comfortable living, it is nee
essary that a town maintain a group
Of stores adequate to meet these de-
inands and thousands Of others. If
you give the home stores your reg
ular trade, they will take care of you
in all emergencies.

UTILIZING OUR RRa0TRcEs

It is remarked that when you es-
tablish a canning factory in a rural
neighborhOOd, the immediate result
is a big increase in the product Of
the farms. Tho farmers can always
raise more II they can find means to
sen their stun. Hence such factory
brings in business that did not exist
before. and spreads prosperity
through a district.
Are all the resources that could be
developed in and around Milford be-
ing used as they might be? An un-
utilized resource is like some part
Of the human body that is not used.
II you tied up one hand SO it was
never used, your ability to work and
produce would be very much limited.
Allowing some possibility to remain
undeveloped in community life is
much the same.

THE OLD AMERICAN HOLIDAY

THE OLD AMERICAN HOLIDAY
Thanksgiving Day might be con-
sidered as perhaps the most Ameri-
can of our holidays. There is an
American touch in it that you will
find hard to match. It was the out
come primarily of a religious faith
which was strong among the early
American settlers. It was also the
development of a rich and abundant
land, which offered unequalled COM
fort and well being.
Then the idea of making this holi-
day a time of family reunion was
iistinctively American thought. 1t
became the custom to summon the
sons and daughters and sisters and
cousins from far and near. In the
early days they had not unusually
gone far. All that was necessary
was to hitch up Dobbin and repair
to the old family hearthstOne for the
grand feast.
What marveis of cookery, what
wonders of kitchen and dining or
ganization, were performed by those
old housewives! Our modern ladies'
shiver at the thought. The old time
women could feed a party of 25 with
less hurry and furry than the mod
ern housewife would give to enter
tanning one-fourth that number.
And what glorious scenes there
were, when the children's game hour
came. and "blind mans buff" and
hunt the slipper" were played, while
the roof rang with the yells of youth.
And today, what of the old hearth
stone? Frequently empty, often a
tumble down ruin. Sometimes ten
anted by a pair of old folks, sole
relics of the once overlooking nest
from which the birds have flown.
But in millions of homes, it is still
a day of cheer. The boys will drive
a hundred or two miles for the old
feast and reminders Of childhood.
Let us hope the strong family ties
and sense of worship that inspired
this noble occasion shall never who'll /
ly fade out in Delaware.

farm policy brought new prob.
lens into existence?
Among the permanent benefits
must be listed farm mortgage re-
lief, and the consolidation and en-
larging Of farm credit machinery
But there are many reasons to
believe that the benefits of crop
control and price fixing are tenn
pOrary and that both of these pro-
cedures involve grave long-term
disadvantages. To begin with,
crop control and price fixing are
artificial interferences with ma
tural economic laws. Both are
subject to political pressure, and
mistakes in the operation Of Ell
ther can have immediate and dis
astrous repercussions.
Crop control, Furthermore, in
wolves a completely new depar-
ture in American political, social
and economic life-that the gov
ernment shall dictate to the citi-
zen what he may produce and
that the citizen must obey the
governments orders.
If crop control could be limited
to a few crops temporarily in dis
tress, and could be wisely admin
istered it might have long-term
benefits. But, unfortunately, hui
man cussedness and political
forces give to crop control a ten
dency like that of a wet SNOWFALL
rolling down hill. Crop control
spreads from one crop to another
and so ends up in regimentation.
For example crop control began
with wheat, corn, hogs, tobacco
and cotton. It rapidly spread to
barley and other grains, and even
to peanuts. It's latest and most
preposterOus form is in the con-
troll of potatoes. HencefOrth, to
grow potatoes you must obtain
permission from Uncle Sam. He
will tell you how many bushels
you may raise and sell. If the
crop Is extra good and you sell
more than your quota you may
be Rned a thousand dollars or
sent to Jail for a year. Uncle Sam
tells you how you must pack. seal
and stamp potatoes and render a
full book-accounting for them. II
you make mistakes you invite
trouble.
II you had thought Of putting
an extra ten acres in potatoes |
next year you may not do It If |
Uncle Sans potato watch-dogs |
do not allow you to do it.
In other words, crop control |
leads inevitably and irresistably |
to abandonment Of your personal
freedom to decide what you shall
do with your own land.
More than that, the latest AAA |

lations on all those who sell,

ducts or manufacture them for
ultimate distribution. This means
that your bureaucrats in Wash
ingtOn can prescribe all sorts Of
regulations concerning businesses
Of which they have no knowledge
or experience.
In this manner the Federal
government is gathering into its
hands powers which it never be-
fore exercised. And you and as
individuals are surrendering
rights which our ancestors fought
to win and to preserve during
generations of our history.
Unfortunately, the Roosevelt
administration, in addition to bas-
ing its farm policy largely on
crop control, has also put into eff
feet another untenable theory
that higher prices are desirable
In themselves. OF what good are
higher prices for what the farmer
sells when he also has to pay
higher prices for what he buys?
The New Dealers confused high
er prices with higher profits.
Higher profits can come from
cheaper costs Of production as
well as from higher prices. The
ultimate objective larger real
income for each farm family--is
by no means reached merely by
skyrocketing prices through Gre
ating an artificial scarcity.
Incidentally to a larger income
is the lowering Of taxes and the
rates Of interest. Certainly moth
ing the New Deal is doing prom
ises anything other than a steady
and large increase in taxes Of all
sorts.
In addition, the Administration
is providing certain types Of far
mers with subsidies - some
through the processing taxes,
some through loans at prices
higher than the market, some
through outright gifts.
How, in all fairness. can this
policy be continued unless sub
sidies are granted to all pcoduc-
ers? Why should wheat farmers
obtain a subsidy and not truck
farmers or fruit growers?
