PARKING PROBLEMS

The American Automobile associa-
ton is to study the problem of park
ing the nations cars. II remarks
that even if parking is regulated and
controlled. there is not enough park
ing space at the street curbs to take
care of the demand.
American cities were mostly laid
out in a day before automobiles. The
throng of cars that now crowd into
cities and towns was not then fore
seen. So there is a congestion of cars
which causes serious inconvenience
and leads people TO avoid many
places where the crOwding is bad
More parking space" is the cry of
the motorists in thousands of cities.
It is needed for the prosperity of
these communities.

THE FREE PRESS

A constant campaign should be
carried on for freedom of the press
was the opinion expressed by the
American Society of Newspaper Edi-
tors. recently in session at Washing
ton.
In countries where no newspaper
freedom exists. the people live in a
false world. They have no means
for getting at the truth. The ideas
and news reports presented them by
the government are twisted TO prove
the things the government wants es-
tablished. The people are helpless
before this propaganda. It is a form
of submission where human rights
disappear. The people have to ac-
cept whatever fates are handed out
to them. Such things must never
be tolerated in America.
Milford chronicle., 1938-05-20
BASEBALL FOR ALL

Baseball is called the national
game. 1t doesn't quite fill that bill,
so long as so many young men and
boys never get anygood chance to
play on any team. A real national
game ought to be played by the peo-
pie, as well as seen by them.
The American boy begins to throw
and bat balls as soon as he goes to
school. In towns and localities
where there are no Fairgrounds near
his home, he will probably soon be-
come a mere spectator. who can
only open his mouth and yell when
the home team does some stunt.
Many American boys who go wrong
would never do so. if they had a
chance to play on some ball team.
If the kids of some neighborhood
were all the time studying how
they could defeat those Of the next
street. they wouldn't have time or
energy to play tag with the police.
Towns should have plenty of play
grounds on which the boys can bat
balls and run bases. 1t would be
fine if all schools could have their
ball teams. They would usually do
so. if the community was generous
in paying the small expenses of the
sport.
When the boys grow up, the chance
to play ball should continue. Teams
representing industries and neigh
borhoods help keep people content
ed at home. There should be one
good team to represent each town.
Lovers of baseball should back up
the sport by attending the games.
and cheering the home team on even
when it loses. What hoodoOs the
game in many places is that the
rooters won't root unless the team
is a winner.
Their towns will never appear on
the baseball map. until the hackers
stick to the team through thick and
thin. Let's give the boys and young
men of Milford ample opportunity to
enjoy this grand sport.

WAGES AND HOURS

Should the federal government
regulate wages and hours of labor?
The old idea of the federal govern
ment was that il should defend the
nation from foreign aggression. keep
the peace, and give everybody
chance to work out his own saliva
ton. The theory was that if every
one did the best he could to make
his services valuable. the greatest
possible aggregate of production and
human welfare would be attained.
A very influential modern philoso-
ply says that under such plan the
weak are crushed. children wear
their lives out under excessive toll,
women are taken out of the homes
where they should be training their
young, and families live on starva-
tion wages.
The drift of the times appears to
be to give more power to the federal
government. The states accentuate
that tendency when they fail to
clean up wrong conditions in their
own jurisdictions. Many of our folks
remark that il everyone would sweep
in front of his own door. the whole
world would be clean.
Milford chronicle., 1938-05-20
AUTOMOBILE TRIPS

The average family of former days
never saw much of the country.
Many of them never left their home
state, and some had never been a
days journey from their home town.
A man who took railroad trip
covering three or four states thought
he was a great traveller.
Today the possession of automo-
biles has enormously brOadened the
horizons of our people. Many boys
and their elders who can't afford
luxurious travel, get possession of
some ancient car and roll across the
continent.
They see mountains and lakes and
rivers which their parents never
dreamed of beholding. The sights
of our country have opened the eyes
of the people very wide. These
things make people ambitious to do
big things, also sometimes too rest
less to enjoy the good life of their
own places.
AS the people start out on their
tours, they should realize that the
faster they go. the less they see. How
much will they learn of life in other
states if they go through at go miles
per hour?
They are or should be messengers
of good will in every state to which
they go. If they are constantly run
ming at high speed when no officer
is in sight, jumping red lights, ignor-
ing stop" signs, endangering pedes-
trians and other motorists, some
curses will follow their car as they
go rampaging through cities and
towns. People will look at their
number plates to see what state sent
out such roughnecks.
If they try to notice and obey all
rules. let other folks have the right
of-way, and try to conform to the
customs of the states where they go.
people will say their state turns out
a fine type of people.

Milford, Friday, May 20, 1888
BACK TO SHOVEL AND HOE

The old song said: Lay down the
shovel and the hoe" Millions of
people have to do so every fall, when
the work on farms, roads and build
ing jobs largely closes up. When
spring comes, these same millions
take up the shovel and hoe, and are
again ready to dig in the dirt and
handle other tools. 1t is one of the
misfortunes of our civilization that
for four or five months in the over
age United States climate. there~is
little work for these folks to do.
Some people may consider work a
curse. Most men are willing to toll
for their daily bread, and they con-
denim civilization that does not
give them a chance to do so regu-
larly.
Some people say the remedy for
those conditions is to plant all these |
idle workers in little homes, with an |
acre or two of land on which they
can raise gardens. poultry. cow,
pigs. etc. Millions of people live in
Europe on this type of subsistence
farming. but it does not usually pro-
vide much money. The people OF
this country do not want to live like
Europeans.
Henry Ford believes that people
can live on such places and alternate
their farm work with labors in some
shop, also that farm products can
be used very much more for indus
trial products. He seems to be ac-
complishing results in that line, ad-
ding still more to his services to the
nation.
Those who have been forced to loaf
all winter may feel weary at first
from the strain of toll. but it is
weariness that produces sleep after
a short time, and is better than the |
misery of idleness. College and high |
school graduates who have not yet |
been able to find anything to do,
should not despise such work. They
can learn much by working with
their hands until they find something
they like better.
Milford chronicle., 1938-05-20
nd wAsTE N ADYERTIsING

Some people can't seem to get over
the idea that money spent In adver-
tising does not benefit the consumer.
They should consider these facts.
Advertising increases trade. Adver-
tised goods sell better than non-ad-
vertised stun. Almost any ordinary
concern could double its trade by ad-
vertising. Countless concerns have
grown from small beginnings into
great corporations by advertising.
When a concern grows, its cost of
distributing or producing goods is
less per article sold or made. So the
advertising concern produces more
goods at less expense after paying
its advertising charge. The tendency
of the public to buy advertised goods
proves that merchandise so produced
and sold is economically handled.
