INDIVIDUAL SECURITY


American citizens have establish
ed an all.time, world record IN pro-
ducing individual, economic secur-
sity.
= In no other country IN the world
has there been such a marvellous
opportunity for individuals through
their own efforts to provide against
the evils Of unemployment and
against the hazards of old age. In
dnvidual action is IN most cases the
proper line Of approach which
keeps the cost at a minimum and
keeps individual efficiency at a max
imum, thus increasing the real in
come of our country for the benefit
Of all. In this connection attention
lis called to the following facts,
mostly CLEANED from government

100000 savings deposits

GAME CONFERENCE
LEAVES WATERFOWL
SEASON TO DARLING

Washington, FEB. 14.-Viewed in
perspective the 21st Annual Ameri-
can Game Conference, held in New
York on January 81, z2. 90, advanced
the interests of wildlife, including
fisheries, in many fundamental ways
according to typical comment of
some 500 conservatiOnists scientists
game breeders, sportsmen and other
outdoor lovers, attending it.
The waterfowl crisis OvershadOwed
many phases of the conference which
were relatively more important but
not so pressing or spectacular. After
practically a day Of debate in the
open forum of January %, the
thought divided into three schools.
One, the prohibitionists, led by the
National Association of Audubon
Societies, advocating a closed sea-
son on all species for 1935-36; an
other school argued for an open sea-
son, particularly on those, species
that suffered least from the drought
and other adverse conditions Of the
last five years. A third school might
be termed the 'saferand-saners' who
advocated ascertaining the facts as
near as possible during the remaind-
er Of the winter, the ,nuptial flight
in the spring, and breeding cOndi-
tions, and basing any season or pro-
Of one upon them.
JesN. Darling. chief OF the U. s.
Bureau of Biological Survey, custo-
dams. Of the waterfowl, said that al
ready, such census was being made
and planned, He declared the water-
fowl would gel. q square deal.
Nh. Darling's speech impressed
-he. conference tremendously. ''No
1ne can. question the Integrity Of
he chief, members Of all schools
If thought declared:
The conference voted a resolution

Milford School Notes
As REPORTED BY R. II. YERKES

Last Thursday night the Dramatic
Club of the Milford High School
presented an original play by Betty
Risler, at their regular meeting. The
play, in one act, was given a very
creditable performance by Alma
Tease, Charles Breme, AL Davidson,
Windsor Emery and Betty Risler,
and was roundly applauded by the
43 club members present. Piano Sc
lections by Anne Baxter and Fran
ces Bowen, and a short talk by Mr.
Marshall on the history and use of
makeup for stage work comprised
the rest of the general meeting. Re-
hersals for two new plays, '"TOO
Many Marys," and "a Night At An
Inn" followed. The following have
been cast in these productions,
which will be given a public per-
formance later in the year: Fay Fer
gusOn, Kitty Clements, Olivia Kirby,
Margaret Whaley, Betty Risler, Cath
crime Williams, Charles Robinson,
Edward Hill, Windsor Emery,
Charles Breme and Brainard Peet.
Glasses for club members in stage
makeup and production have been
organized, and at least six students
are trying their hand at writing
One-act plays, which if accepted;
will be produced by the club at flu
ture meetings. Plans are also under
way to present plays by the Ameri- !
can author, William Dean HOwells |
and the Russian, Anton ChekOff. Stu |
dents will direct all parts of these |
plays, from stage setting and light
ing to actual direction.
There are fifty-nine names on the
membership list, and the records
show an average attendance of over
forty for the first half of the school
year. Records show that twenty-One
different students have participated
in plays given by the club this year,
and of that number, twelve had new
er before had part in anything of
the kind. This work is being done in
connection with the public speaking
program of the school for the tenth,
and twelfth grades, the OBJ
ject being to do away with the self
that most people eX-
perience when facing an audience,
and to acquaint the students with
the great literature of the American
stage. A play night, sometime in
March. will give the public an op-

WORLD COURT VOTE

The general consensus of opinion
in Washington about the World
Court is that defeat was due to a
lack of confidence in the European
Nations. The Senators were afraid
TO trust the deft-defaulters, and the
Senate action is a rebuke to those
nations that have scrapped treaties,
built up their armies and navies.
