AUTOMOBILES LEAD THE WAY

The United States owes a great
deal to the automobile trade for
whatever business recovery has been
produced to date. 1t was predicted
for number of years that the time
was not far distant when that trade
would see a big gain. Cars were
wearing out all the time. 1t was
considered inevitable that in a few
years, it would cost so much to re-
pair the wheezy old cars, that peo-
pie at all costs would provide them
selves with new ones.
The automobile people have made
generous use of advertising. They
have believed that if the people were
given the facts about the new cars
and the advantages of replacing the
old bus, there would be a big re-
sponse. They have made use of scien-
tifc research and technical skill to
devise improvements that would
please buyers.
In many lines of trade, the idea
seems to be that if people won't buy
the product at the price offered, to
hold the goods until they do buy.
The theory of the automobile trade
has been that prices should be put
at such a point that people are able
to buy. If that theory had been ap-
piled in all lines of business, and all
lines had been advertised as auto
mobiles have been. the depression
would be all over now.

TASKS FOR THE TEACHERS

Three great tasks await the school
teachers of the land, said the presi-
dent of the National Education Asso-
citation to the convention of that
body at Denver. These three tasks
are: Helping graduates find jobs,
promoting the moral welfare of the
school children, and sO-Ordinating all
agencies in education.
The proposed co-ordinating is
something most of us do not under
stand But it is evident that many
graduates need jobs. and many school
children need more moral instruc-
tiOn.
The teachers life is already a busy
one. without taking on additional
tasks. If old Job of the Bible had
had the job of handling a roomful of
restless youngsters. each one of them
a dynamo of energy. he might have
said things that would have marred
his reputation for patience. Not
merely does the teacher have to keep
these young rioters from breaking
loose. but she has to get solid work
out of them every day. or they do not
pass. How can the teacher, with
these tasks to perform, also teach
morals and find jobs for them?
Yet instruction in morals. which
includes honesty and good citizen
ship, is perhaps the most vital thing
the child has to learn. He can get
along with fewer rules of arithmetic,
and not so many facts of geography
and science, if he can but be induced
to play the game of life.
Moral lectures alone won't produce
character. Somehow he has got to
earn through the contacts of school
ife, that yellow conduct gets peo-
Die into trouble.
AS for finding jobs for the grad
lates. the schools should help all
hey can, but they can't do that thing
lone. The whole social system must
'end itself to the problem of finding
work for everybody.

WATCH YOUR STEP GIRLsi

The above does not refer to moral
pitfalls you might drop into, though
another paragraph could be written
on that subject. 1t simply notes the
fact that while women suffer fewer
injuries than men in the work of
their occupations. many women are
hurt by falls while performing the
work of these jobs.
Considering the excessively high
heels worn by many women, particu-
larly the younger ones. you could
expect they would frequently be
found standing ON parts of their
bodies other than their feet. The
girls seem to think a too high heel
gives them an appearance of beauti-
ful slenderness. But if that heel
catches in the stair tread, and pre-
sents them with vacation in some
hospital, it may not look SO beauti-
full.

GETTING OUT OF THE RUT

There is too much tendency fol
business to get in a rut Some con.
Germs run along year after year with
about the same lines, and with few
new goods or methods. The people
are not attracted to that way of do
ing business. They value alertness
If a concern seems to have enter
prise. to be wide awake and con-
stantly struggling for business gains,
they flock into such a place.
The best way to give that impress
sion of alertness and enterprise is
for concern to be a good advertiser.
Every such notice is an indicator
that that concern is a hustler, that
it is striving hard to please the pub
lie. Goods don't stay long on the
shelves of such a store.

aa.5Oa.000.000 Ii THE H0LE

Uncle Sam went ''in the red" dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 80
by about $500, 100000. How serious
a threat does this constitute to our
country's prosperity? Let us set
aside our political ideas, and con-
slider the proposition from purely
business point of view.
The national wealth of our coun-
try was computed in 1928 to be $780,
900, 100000. That wealth has shrunlI
because of depression, and it is
doubtful if it is over twO-thirds OF
that figure today. On that basis, the
United States spent TX per cent of
its wealth last year in an effort to
recover prosperity.
During the four previous years it
went into the hole about $4,000, ,OOO,-
900. So the United States Govern
ment in five years has gone "in the
red" about SIC, 100000. This rep
resents something. over four per
cent of our national wealth. On the
face of it, it is not a very big proper
tiOn.
But the government might get into
a position like that of a man who
has some extremely valuable estate.
but can't sell it. or find anyone will
ing to make a decent bid on it. Such !
a man is wealthy from one point of
view, but he might not be able to
pay his bills.
The final test of a governments
ability to pay its bills, is not the pro-
portion of the national wealth or in
come that has been spent. but
the people will bear the load
OF taxation without throwing it of.
There might come a time when taxa
tion is SO heavy that the people will
become incensed about it, and lie
iown and refuse to pay.
The high price of government
ponds indicates that the people still
lave faith in government credit But
Jncle Sam should have a care. He
night run up such an enormous debt
hat people would turn to repudiate
With all the evils that would flow
rom such action.

TOO MUCH POLITICS HURTS
RYERYBODY

One Of the worst phases OF restric-
tive. taxsereatins, destructive legis;
lation is It's effect on the agencies to
which the public looks to safeguard
its savings and investments-life in
suranee companies, banks and trust
companies. If political policies force
industry to retreneh, the services OF
these institutions must likewise be
curtailed.
When we strike at an industry, the
blow is felt throughout the entire
social an deconomic structure. 1t
destroys jobs, Opportunities, invest
ments. 1t imperils savings. II forces
retrogression. Everyone loses and
no one gains.
Holders of life insurance policies,
savings bank accounts and industrial
securities have had this forcibly i'm
pressed upon them by loss of divi-
dends, a large part of which is due
to destructive legislation and regu-
lation-in other words, too much
politics.

CAN'T BLIND CHILDREN
DAILY News. Saginaw. Mich.)

We sometimes overlook the fact
that what the children learn in the
school room is only a part of their
education. Recently the board of ed
ucation in a middle western indus
/ trial city appointed a committee to
make a survey of the citizenship
/ training that was being given in the
city's schools. The committee pres
emily reported that the courses were
making a fine showing, except for
the fact that the children were
learning too much about their city
outside of school hours.
In class the children were taught
all about the principles of govern
ment, how il is supposed to operate,
what the ideals of democracy are.
Then in their homes and through
other contacts they were finding out
that things don't always work that
way. They were discovering that
the practices in democratic govern
ment don't always jibe with the
theories. The result was that they
were concluding that their school
room training was all very pretty,
but that it didn't mean much.
A child who hears his parents
bOasting about some evasion of the
law. who sees teachers going unpaid
while political gangs are loading up
the public payrolls preparatory to
election day. who sees criminals es-
Gaping justice, is receiving a liberal |
education in government that can't |
he found in the school books. No |
wonder if ne begins to think that
ideals don't mean much in govern
ment.
The antidOte. of course. is a diff
ferent attitude on the part of his
parents and citizens generally. We
can put all the fine theories we like
into the school books. but they
won't have much effect unless we
ourselves show a disposition to fol-
low them. We can't achieve perfec-
Lion over night, but If by our ex-
ample we inspire our children with
a sincere feeling that political vir-
Tue is worth while we will be doing
much toward obtaining it. If we
disregard for it we
cannot complain if they follow our
rather than that of the
ichOOl books.

INTELLIGENCR I'M BUSINESS

Let us say that woman goes into
store and asks for a certain article
and says she wants certin specific
things. The clerk is anxious to make
sale, and jumps at the conclusion
that the article in stock corresponds
to those requirements. The lady
takes it home. and finds the article
does not so correspond.
She nurses a grievance against
that store. 1t will probably be a
long time before she goes there
again. Where was the fault? Us
ually on the clerk, who was not
probably dishonest. but simply lack
ed information about the goods. A
salespersOn can do a store a lot of
harm by failing to acquire this in
telligence. 1t is due to the stores of
Milford to say there is no place
where a more earnest effort is made
to train the salespeople to know the
real facts about goods.

WHAT Will RESULT!

The billions of dollars which have
been poured out by authority of the
President and the Congress of the
United States. in visionary schemes
for those unemployed as planned by
College Professors and University
specialists, have failed to great ex-
tent, to either bring about employ
ment in manufacturing, or restore
confidence in the business world.
Unfortunately a situation has been
created by this spending of borrowed
cash, whereby the supposed unem-
plOyed labOrer, now refuses to help
restore business to a stable fOunda-
tion; labor which once came merrily
to the fruit producing states and as
sisted to harvest crops, now refuse,
because by so doing they may jeOp-
ardize their relief money. and so let
fruit crops rot and the grower carry
the loss.
The cost of living is rising, and
general distrust is abroad. The bill
lions of dollars poured out through
the schemes evolved by those ad- I.
visors of the President and forced (
from the people with the aid. of Con-
gress, have largely failed to bring
relief That borrowed money will
have to be repaid by the people of
the United States. and it will come
through taxes, which are created by
a democratic president and demo-
cratic congress, and the people will
have to pay for many years in the
future.

ADVERTISING YOUR STATE

People in the various states ask
how they can advertise their re-
sources and advantages. Benefits
are gained by such publicity, which
makes a commonwealth and its re-
sources better known.
There is one way to advertise your
state which brings returns, and
costs nothing. And that is for its
people to show courtesy and a law
abiding spirit wherever they go. If
they tear through adjoining states at
high speed in their cars, soaring
pedestrians and disgusting motorists.
they give their home state some
very left handed advertising. II
they behave like gentlemen and
ladies wherever they go. folks say
their home state must be a fine one
to live in.

4WE MISS EOU, DADDY

a. o. I
The following editorial was print
ed in the Rockville, Connecticut,
Journal, about a year ago. There
after, to the editors surprise, IL was
reprinted by most of the other pa
pers Of the state, and was used by
highway safety officials. insurance
companies, accident prevention or
ganizatiOns, motorists publications
and by others who are fighting the
great war against the toll OF auto
mobile deaths. Here 1t isz-and any
motOrist will surely think twice
about taking chances after reading

found. Il was not very long, just the
ordinary ten-wOrd length, but it was
a message that would make any IA
ther happy. 1t read: WE MISS. YOU
DADDY. WHEN ARE YOU COMING
HOME?
THAT was all. It was a message
sent by one of the children of the
man who was killed. He had receiv-
ed the message and was hOmeWard

that message.

KIDNAP MONEY

When Uncle Sam put serial mum
ber on each bill of paper money. he
created the clue that will trace
nearly every kidnapping case to its
guilty perpetrators.
You can't blame people for paying
ransom money to save their dear
ones from some cruel fate. When
such extortion demands are made.
the kidnappers will no doubt insist
that no list be taken of the serial
numbers of the ransom money. But
they can't keep the banks from TAX
ing such lists. No doubt any bank
that knew money had to be used for
such a purpose. would take such a
list. When the police get the serial
number Of the ransom money, the
kidnappers might as well say Good
night" and get ready for long life
in jail, or worse.

MELFORD RESIDENTS without

Capt Herman D. Johnson to fill out
the unexpired term of the late Ed
gar NJ. Baylis in the Sussex County
Levy Court. Governor Buck, we be-

a member of the governing body of
Sussex County. Capt. Johnson has
been a resident of Milford for
number of years, during which time
he has conducted a contracting con-
struction and. building business
which has erected several of the
citys largest buildings. He is known
for his honest dealings with his GUS
toners. We believe that in his deal
ings with the public he will be fair
and that all persons having business
with the Levy Court will receive
courteous treatment and square
deal from the baby member of that
body. The selection is pleasing to
his friends in Cedar Greek Hundred
and Milford citizens are elated
that at last our community will have .
an active member in the Levy Court
from the northern end of the county.
