EGINNING on Monday,
Franklin Street will
~ be the ground over
- which busy little feet
- will be going. for ON
that day Miss Martha McCul-
Tough will start her new kinder
garten class. Already about tif-
teen boys and girls, ranging in
age between four and six are
signed up for this term. Miss
Mccullough is all enthusiasm
talking about her plans. They
include many things in organized
play. On the first day the tots
will find a sand table with all
the animals grouped around a
Noah's Ark. There is a pOssi-
bility that they will not know
all of these first animals and
that will be the first lesson.
There are many fine things that
will be worked out such as
drawing, nursery rhymes and
I h cir dramatizati0n, songs,
games, modelling in clay, cut
ting out and printing. 1t
seems like a wealth of material
for the pre-schOol age. Beside
that there will be games and
light refreshments during the
two hour period between ten and
twelve. One almost wishes there
might be a repetition of some
of the tender years so that a
person like Miss Mccullough
could be the teacher. Milford
has not had such a class since
193O-31 when Mrs. Frank We'll
come became so dear to a like
group. Impressions are made at
this early age that go down
through the years with tots.

DEATH FACING
GERMAN GOLD
H0ARDERS

BERLIN, Dec. 16 G.N.SJ.-Des,
perately seeking foreign money to
buy three million tons of grain on
a soaring world market, the Ger.
man government today set Janu.
airy 81 as the deadline for the sur.
render of all foreign exchange
and death as the possible penalty
for disobedience.
Forced to extend the deadling
from November 80 because a. "con.
scienceless element had not only
not declared its gold, but was &C.
tually trying to smuggle 1t out OF
the Reich" the government de,
cree warned:
"ThiS is the last chance to join
the ranks of decent Germans.
Everybody should be aware that
full punishment, even the death
sentence, may befall those not
reporting foreign money,
whether abroad or at home"
Economic sabotage" the warn.
ing said, will be regarded as high
treason.
Because of poor harvests, Ger.
many must buy million tons each
of wheat, corn, and rye from
abroad.
