THERE SEEMS TO be growing

THERE SEEMS TO be a growing
sentiment in support of a move
ment which has for its purpose
wildlife restoration in Delaware. A
capitalization of favorable opinion
for the establishment of refugees
where game birds and animals may
live peacefully without fear of in
terference on the part of man seems
en- the verge of bringing action
which will greatly aid the propoga-
ton of game here. With this in mind
it is pertinent to call attention to the
fact that it is not enough to pre-
scribe bag limits and closed hunting
seasons. Restrictive measures are
necessary, but laws and their en-
forcement cannot solve the problem
alone. Obviously there is not enough
game to go around-but there is no
scarcity of hunters. Gunners go
afield each year in pursuit of bird
or rabbit. Some are fortunate;
others return empty handed. This
is not new condition. but merely
an acute stage of an old one.
Hunting licenses cannot be re-
stricted in a democracy. Nor can
game be brought back in abundance
by restrictive laws. The economy
of-searcity plan is a fine spun theory
but it doesn't work. If this prob
lem is to be solved in a practical
way. it will be done by a. chain of
refugees throughout the State.
Game propagation in Pennsylvania
twenty-five years ago seemed hope
less. Today there are organized
bodies of men and women in that
State who have turned The tide. Re
fnges extend from one end of the
State to the other and certain species
of game are more abundant than
when William Penn first landed. 1t
can be said without fear of successful
contradiction that game has been
restored in moderate abundance in
Pennsylvania.
Whether wildlife can be restored
TO anything like its former abund-
ance in Delaware remains to be seen. /
But conditions can be greatly I'M
proved through the combined efforts
of government and organizss zciti- /
zens. Certainly the propagation of
wiidlife deserves the support of pub
lie spirited citizens. Winter is here
ard natural food supplies will be
covered by sleet and snow. 1t is
time to provide shelter and food for
game. II would be a
regretable and inexcusable condition
should it be necessary for the I.
State to give its wildlife only tenn
porary relief. In the near future .
an effort to organize chapters of the
Delaware Fish and Game Protective (
will be made in Sussex {
Through affiliation with .
these worthwhile sportsmen and
their organization much may be done
to increase hunting prospects in this
county in the future.

NEW SCHOOL SYSTEM Urged

President Robert NJ. Hutchins of
the University of Chicago said in a
recent address that the educational
system Of America needs reorganiz-
irg. II his idea is correctly under
stood it calls for six-year course
in lower schools, four years in one
of high school grade, and four years
of college work.
Many teachers would probably say
that six years in the lower schools
is not enough without driving the
children too hard. Under the present
plan, il usually takes 16 years of
schooling before youth can gradu-
ate from a college. If then he must
studf in a professional school. his
education has taken him 20 years.
The lives of many people are half
over before they are ready to begin
their labors. There is such a thing
as too much study and not enough
work.

REpUCING NOT SO POPULAR

Is the average girl SO keen to re-
iuce her weight and keep thin as
she was recently? According TO a
recent survey of 1900 girl workers.
she is losing interest in that idea.
Excessive weight is bar to ac-
tivity.. but a multitude Of young
women have emulated the beanpole
figure to an alarming extent. Just
what were their reasons is not clear.
They may think a slim figure Is
more alluring to the masculine eye.
Some men say they like TO dance
better with the slim girl.
A girl can't be attractive unless
she is physically vigorous. How
can she be strong. IL she is fearful
of bread and butter and eggs and
meat and cream? There is nothing
fascinating about the thin girls
slimness, il her tired face and
dropping body reflect the thinnsss of
her diet.

THE MODERN CHRISTMAS

The world sees startling contrasts
on Christmas day from that simple
old time when the first Christmas
was observed. Back in that remote
time. the Bible story tells us that
Christ was born in a stable and LAID
in manger for cradle. There was
no room even in the simple old inn
for the infant life that was TO turn
the world upside down. The beasts
of the field were his first compan-
ions.
Today. the most gorgeous buildings
have been dedicated to the memory
OF that once so humble life. The
songs of the worlds most glorious
choirs echo through superb cathe-
drals built in honor of that simple
infant. Eloquent orators preach about
the glories of the revelation thus
made TO men.
In countless homes. this anniver-
sary is the scene of unlimited merri-
n.ent. The business world has been
stirred by the great outpouring of
money for gifts. People have been
rushing their heads of to complete
their Christmas obligations.
What would Jesus say about all
these modern developments. if he was
TO return to earth. and see what the
world is doing in his honor? How far
would he be pleased? He would
care for gorgeous temples erected to
do reverence to him. only as these |
show love and devotion. and help in {
bringing people to a knowledge of
the things which he told the world.
One thing that would shock him /
beyond all expression. is that while 4
the world does so much in his honor,
ii has not yet produced peace and
good will. Those were the ideas he
had in mind. He would see great /
nations fighting each other. social
classes contending in angry con-
tiiet, and bitterness in many homes.
The worlds people have little idea
Of the real meaning of Christmas.
until they learn to substitute kind
less and justice for hate and war.

AMERICA IS CHoosING

The news from Washington is
filled these days with reports OF Con-
gress resisting new demands for bur-
dens upon business and seeking in
stead the means for changing the tax
laws and otherwise encouraging pri-
vate enterprise to go ahead with ex-
pansions of plans and employment.
If there is one fact that stands out
above all else in the Capitol 1t is
that Congressman and Senators have
definitely put away the rubber
stamp" and decided to do more
than vote yes. They are not only
reviewing carefully legislation laid
before them but are showing signs
of initiating their own bills such as
the repeal of the surplus profits tax
which penalties expansions of indus
try out of which employment comes. |
Often it is not what happens in |
Washington that is significant but |
what caused the action. And in this
instance there is general agreement
that the cause is traceable back to
the grass roots of America; to the 4
small towns from where so many
of Congress come back to
he backbone of the Nation.
While they were home the legisla-
ors obviously heard that the people (
we're beginning to look about them {
md wonder whats going ON here" ,
Since they returned for the special |
ession. there has been a surprising |
low of mail into the Capitol urging ,
return to sound principles, de- I
rease in spending and aid rather S
han harassment of business.
The change in Congressional senti- I
nent is measurable by what the mail I
nan brings. If this flow of mail il
rows as it did in the Supreme Court (
ght, Congress will respond. u
Today more than in years Senators /
nd Congressman are looking TO their G
onstitutents for an expression OF d
heir will. The people. in turn. are D
ooking TO Congress for direct action A
o end the slump by aiding employ Il
nent. S

INDUSTRIAL TEAM WORK

The president of the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers. speaking
to that organization in New York,
made a plea for team work between
labor. capital. and government.
These different elements have diff
ferent views. Labor says. Give us
high wages" Capital says. Enable
goods to be produced so cheap that
the full production can be sold. Gov
ernment says. submit to regulation
under the law"
If labor gets its high wages. the
goods can't always be sold. II capi-
tai gets its low production costs. the
workers may not be able to buy the
product. If government regulates
everything. mistakes may be made
that will stop production. One thing
is sure, that anything that makes
goods cost so high they can't be
sold. stops business.

CHRISTMAS CAROLS

A famous poem by Henry Longfel-
low tells how centuries ago. a Nor
man baron lay dying on Christmas
eve. In the hall of his castle, the
serfs and vassals of his dominion
were singing Christmas carols. The
cheerful sound rose TO his sick
chamber. and filed the dying man
with regret. He saw with clearer
vision that he had done wrong to the
poor creatures who had toiled for him
without reward. In his penitence he
signed paper that gave all these
oppressed people their freedom. His
generous act has echoed down the
ages as an expression of the Christ
mas spirit.
AS the Christmas carols sound in
our ears. may many persons regret
the wrongs they have committed, and
resolve TO set them right.

GIRL HiTCHHIkERs

Girl hitchhikers are said to be
becoming more numerous in many
localities. How comes it that SO
many have the courage to start out
alone in a rough world, in which
there are so many birds of prey?
Many girls feel that if they could
only get away from the restrictions
imposed by parents. they could find
friends and success and pleasure.
Many who cherished these ideas are
lost in great cities every year, and
have found only sorrow and suffer-
ing. If young women feel they must
try their fortune away from home,
they should wait until they have
some de finite and desirable job in
view. and have money enough to pay
and other expenses. with a
reserve sufficient to pay their return
fare home. =

mia and the Mississippi river and
between the Ohio river and the
Great Lakes.
Those highly advanced states now
contain great cities, with vast In
dustries, nne farms. beautiful schools
and churches. One can hardly imag-
inc what they looked like ise years
ago, when ,tenanted mostly by paint
ed Indians. hungry wild beasts, and
wandering hunters or rowing pion-
-eers.
SO today the Northwest Territory
Celebration Commission is sending a
party Of 40 trained young men out
in an old time covered wagon cara
van, to give demonstrations In honor,
of these bold pioneers. This expedi-
ton began December at Hamilton
and. Ipswich. Mass, from which the
first covered wagon is believed to
have started, and will be drawn by
oxen after the ancient manner over
the roads traversed by the pioneers
to Ohio and beyond.
) Imagine the hardships these
dauntless>old pioneers encountered!
when the thermometer dipped below
zero, when fierce storms Of snow
swept around the cold wagon, they
must have longed for the comfort
able fireplace at home. j
When some of them fell sick, with
no possibility of calling a doctor,
they must have bewailed their fate.
What did they say when they heard
the dreaded warwhoop of the bloody
red man? None of those perils
them. They kept on and
on. and built up a wonderful civiliza-
ton. Have we any of the same
courage as we face our unknown

A TINE FOR GOOD NATURE

There is no time in the year when
good nature and patience count quite
so much as at Christmas. In this
time of peace and good will, some
folks get so annoyed that they
seem to forget all about what the
holiday is for. They get irritated
if they have to wait in some store or
office for other Christmas shoppers.
and they say sharp things that re-
veal only their own irritable disposi-
tions.
The workers in the stores and Of
fees of Milford go through the
Christmas rush each year with fine
display of good nature. They are
entitled to high praise for so doing.
and they should realize that the
public appreciates their excellent
temper.

HOME TOWN THOUGHTS

People ask how they can make
money. If they can render some ser
vice better than other people are now
rendering it, they usually make a
good living. and they have chance
of acquiring wealth.
Milford chronicle., 1937-12-17

The news reporter says he has to
hustle awful hard to produce any
thing as interesting as the Christmas
advertisements. The people who in
sert these notices can be sure they
are read with the keenest atten-
tion.
Milford chronicle., 1937-12-17

Some people think the way to
make more and more money. is to
work less and less. Never has been
done so fa- to our knowledge.

FINICKY APPETIrES
Often ONE RESULT
OF CONSTIPATION |

When nothing tastes right, and
you don't eat as you should, the
trouble may be common constipa-
ton. Poor appetite is one of it's
symptoms. Others are headaches,
listlessness and sallow complexions.
Constipation is usually due to
"low-bulk" meals. Serve your
family Kellogg's ALL BRAN "a
generous source of "bulk."
Within the body, this food abb
serbs taUice its weight in water,
and gently exercises and sponges
out the system. How much better
than taking pills and drugs!
ALL-BRAN also supplies vitamin
B to tone up the intestines, and
iron for the blood. Two tablespoon
fuls daily are usually sufficient.
Three times daily, in severe cases.
Serve as a cereal with milk or
cream, or cook into appetizing
mullins, breads, etc.
Sold by all grocers. Made by
Kellogg in Battle Greek,

arrayed in white robes?and whence
came they? These are they which
came out of great tribulation, and
have washed their robes, and made
them white in the blood of the

heaven. Blessed are they that
mourn; for they shall be comforted.

hunger and thirst after righteous
ness: Tor they shall be filled.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for
they shall see God"
One of the correlative passages
from Science and Health with Key

and some of another and
still another, and turns
them out on her sewing
machine, fashioning herself
some very nifty garments
at much less expenditure Of
money than her sisters who

/. The three garments sketched
are all homemade things, and
they are very smart and useful
additions to any summer ward
robe. There is the dirndl or
peasant dress in Peter Pan
printed pique. 1t is darling, and
you will see it shopping, lunching

or house coat. These three
cotton costumes remind you of
how all present and smart cot
tons are.
Chambray Is very popular
material when you are looking for
something with which to make
dresses. In the ready-made
chambray dresses, one very pop
ular model has tucks in panel
effect down the front. Another,
a two-piece, has a very high-cut
belted skirt; and another active
style buttons down the back.
Buttons play such a very impor-
tant part in summer fashions this
year. They are used as trimming,
and for buttoning the dress down
front, back or side.
The shirtwaist frock, any one
can see, is universal favorite
and appears in many different
materials. A new version of the
shirtwaist is the stud frock, the
frock with jeweled studs, which Is
a particularly good number for
this summer.
Dirndl Modified
For daytime wear is the modi-
fled dirndl, that French peasant
type of dress with the full skirt
and square-cut neck. This modi-
fled version is popular in shark
skins and linens, plain or with
contrast borders. The style
especially liked is a coat dress
with fly front; small turnover
collar, puffed short sleeves. and a
skirt that has only slight flare
at front, but whose back is
shirred to fullness in typical
dirndl fashion.
Dark sports dresses are con-
spicuously in the limelight right
now. Black and white, black
with yellow and black with straw
are particularly smart. Dark
green, navy and wine are colors
that are liked. too.
