SEEKING THE YOUNG VOTER

Both political parties are organiz-
ing the young voters, of whom g.
100000 have become 81 years old
since the 1886 election. If the elec-
tion should be close this fall, the
verdict of these youngsters may set
tie the fate of the nation.
Probably it will not do much good
to wave flags and call on them to
support the grand old principles of
the government. What they want is
work. They will vote for the party
which in their opinion is mostly to
give them work. They will say that
a business and government system
that fails to provide work is funda-
mentally defective.
Also they want work at good jobs,
same as the young folks in former
years used to get. They look for
some action that will release and
make fruitful the vast powers of
American energy which temed the
continent, and which should be fill
ing the land with prosperity and op-
portunity.

Of these youngsters have helped

stead Of frittering it away on tri-

successful business career. Probably
the chances Of these young people
for success in business are a good
deal better than those of the aver
age child. Such boy or girl has
learned something Of the value Of
money and what money can do, a
form of knowledge that is hidden
from many adults. and some very
brilliant people never acquire It.

THE FIRST NAME HABIT

The word Mister" is not so Otter
spoken now, while BILL" "Jim,'
"Tom," etc, are more frequently
heard. It is becoming customary to
a far greater extent than formerly
to call people by their first names.
President Roosevelt has lent his ex-
ample to this custom. and calls
many of the statesmen, politicians,
and newspaper men by their first
names.
Formerly you might live in a town
most of your life, but if you did not
grow up there, hardly anyone might
call you by the first name. Now it
has become the custom in many
clubs and organizations to use the
first name, and the habit spreads.
Some folks who cling to formal ways
think it is too familiar. They are a
bit Jared when some youngster
whom they met only a few weeks be-
fore begins to call them by the first
name. They will probably get used
to it soon and like it.
The old use of Mister" for every
one was fitting enough in a day
when people lived individual lives in
their own little sets, and did not mix
much with the general run Of peO-
pie.
The use of first names indicates
intimacy, and that the people in
like Milford are all
to know each other, to be
interested in the same things. The
town organizations of the present
bring people closer together. 1t is
fitting that they should treat each
other as good friends.
When you go down town and peo-
pie say Hello George" or Hi there,
Harry" or whatever your name is.
It makes one feel at home. and that
he lives in a community where his
presence is valued. Thus the people
are drawn closer together. The hab-
It spreads also among the women,
and they too value this sign of a
greater intimacy and closer associ-
alton than used to exist in most
owns.

sCHo0L YACATION roo LoNGl

Some people think school children
get a too long summer vacation
They think that many children are
not we'll controlled by their parents
during the long vacation, so they
lose industry and discipline and are
hard to regulate when they return
to school. They are compared to
horses which are turned loose for so
long that it is difficult to put the
harness on them again.
Many children get the benefit Of
special training in camps, which is
highly beneficial to them. Probably
the majority get no such opportun-
ity, and 1t is a problem in many
families to know what to do with
these restive youngsters. Some of
them get into trouble.
Some will argue that If the chill
dren could get along with a months
vacation in summer, they could COM
plete their education sooner, get to
work quicker, and be ready to earn
a living at an earlier date. Teachers
live a life of hard strain, and some
of them might break down nervous
ly If forced to work with shorter
rest periods.
Then there are many schools,
largely in rural districts with sparse
population, which now only run a
very short school year, perhaps
somewhere from three to six months.
The taxpayers in these districts
would probably say they could not
afford the additional cost of long
erms.
Perhaps some day summer schools
will be run in the larger places for
children needing such instruction.

r way to carry on sports, commun-

much book work. Many of the play

NAGGING WIVES

When married couples quarrel, the
man frequently complains that he
has a nagging wife. Is a naggins
wife any worse than a nagging hus-
band? The wife who finds the hus-
band repressing her at every turn
may have as much cause for misery
as the husband welded to the end
less fault finder.
Human nature can stand only
about so much criticism. If either
partner breads to come home be-
cause of the barrage of complaint, he
or she may be tempted to seek con-
ISOLATION elsewhere. The welded
mate may need correction, but the
lady would better not give him such
an overdose that he can't swallow it.
The same is equally true for wifely
faults.
Milford chronicle., 1938-08-26
CAMPAIGN PROMISES

1t has been more or less custom
ary in American politics from the
beginning, for candidates to make
fine promises of the things they or
their political parties expect to do
if they win the election. The people
are solemnly warned against the
evils that will follow if the oppos-
ing parties and candidates win out,
while the grand results to be ex-
pected when the speakers candi-
dates win, are held up for the ad-
miration of all.
1t is one thing to make those
promises and another to get them
fulfilled. Countless orators have pre-
dicted lower taxes, reduced govern
ment expenses, more money for
public improvements, if they or their
parties were victorious. Politicians
are usually optimistic and hopeful
people, and probably expect in the
majority of cases to be able to re-
deem their promises.
Frequently these pledges are i'm
possible, because of the infexible
laws of economics. or because the
people demand action that makes it
out of the question to accomplish
these golden forecasts. The Ameri-
can people have way of demanding
lower taxes and increased expendi-
lures for public benefits. Then they
turn around and blame the public
officials who raise the taxes be-
cause they acceded to these popular
demands.
The people demand this liberal ex-
penditure, and then they blame
somebody else than themselves if
high taxes drive business away or
discourage people from doing busi-
ness. The people should not demand
all these benefits. unless they are
willing to pay for them. Free ex-
penditure and low taxes and low
cost of living don't go together.

AN APPEAL FOR PEACE

Secretary of State Hull has ap-
pealed to the nations of the world
to respect treaties, and conform to
international law. The world i'm
poses somewhat severe penalties on
people who fail to keep their busi-
ness agreements. They lose trade,
are frequently attacked in court ac-
tion, and are apt to get into serious
trouble.
The world has no system for cor
recting those nations that fail to
keep their treaty. agreements. 1t
thought it had devised suced a sys-
TEN in the League of Nations, but
that League has proved unable to
stop the epidemic of treaty violation.
Nevertheless failure to keep
agreements will probably hurt the
nations that do such things. Such
countries will not fin dit so easy to
borrow money. When Germany
broke the peace in 1914, 1t had to
pay for its offense by four years Of
war, and finally complete economic
collapse

TREE. G0D's TEMPLES

Chico, California, is believed to
have the worlds largest oak tree.
Its circumference. outside its bran
ches. is 44s feet. Allowing two
square feet for each person, 1885
people could stand under its shade.
Few towns have trees that could
come anywhere near shading such
a crowd. Yet the ordinary elm tree,
casting shadow perhaps 40 feet
across. could on a similar basis al
low 1000 people to stand under its
spreading umbrella shaped branches.
1t is a wonderful thing to grow on
your lawn tree that could give its
cooling refreshment to so many. A
good tree is a temple of God, which
covers humanity with its protecting
roof, and gives tired people rest
from the heats and tolls of the day.

BUYING AT HONE

Is the feeling that people should
buy goods in their home town just
mere sentiment, or are there posi-.
tive advantages in it?
There is strong sentimental rea-
son for buying at home, If you don't
feel interested enough in your home
town to back it up with your busi-
ness patronage. you are not deeply
rooted enough in your home town to
get all it has to give you. The ad-
vantages of buying at home are also
very practical. When you buy in
your home stores, you get the adj
vantage of business done on low
scale of costs. It does not cost so
much to do business in a town like
Milford as in big places, which is
shown in our lower scale of prices.
When you buy IN your home town.
every effort is made to please you.
since the merchants know they must
satisfy their home folks.

THE FARMFRs, COMPETFTORs


Agricultural experts from all oyel
the world are meeting in convention
at St. Anne De Bellevue, Quebec
American farmers would like to ash
these authorities what can be done
to induce these countries to take
American farm products same as
they used to. In former years they
used great quantities Of American
grains, meats, etc. Now they are all
trying to raise these things them
selves, which makes poverty on
many an American farm.
If those nations would only settle
down and live in peace, they would
have more money with which to buy
American wheat and beef. AS long
as they will spend their money for
guns and explosives instead Of food.
they have to deny themselves the
good American products they need.

THE THREE RS

A recent survey of the educational
status of CCC boys, reaches the con-
elusion that these camps must "re-
sell" the Three RS of education.
This apparently means that it is OF
fundamental Importance that these
young men are thoroughly ground
ed in these basic essentials of learn
ing.
The Three RS, according to the
famous old phrase, were Reading,
'Riting and 'Rithmetic." The old
time school placed its main empha-
sis on these three things, and its
graduates usually made good work.
ers.
Many schools, particularly in. ru-
raj areas in certain states, have had
to run short terms during recent
years. The education of many
young people who attended such
schools must be very sketchy. \
If the CCC camps could teach all
such young men to read so easily
that they would enjoy doing it, these
camps would be worth all they cost. /
For the boy who reads easily is not
going to be satisfied to remain ig-
norant of all the wonderful things
now going on.
He needs judgment in his reading.
If he is concerned only to know who
won the baseball games and prize
fights, and cares nothing about the
laws made to control the industry in
which he works, or the progress OF
his home town, his reading habit
won't do so much good. Someone
should tell him that his prosperity
depends upon the events which the
records. and he would
better find out what those events
ire doing to him.
Anyway, a boy who stumbles over
two syllable word, and whose
writing looks like hen tracks, and
Who has to ponder long over a little
um in addition, seems fated for a
Iard life, unless something is done 1

LEARNING FROM EXPERIENCE

When people make mistakes OF
encounter failure in their work
there are two ways in which they
can deal with such an experience.
One way is to charge their i'll for
tune up to hard luck or the fault OF
someone else.
Another way is to examine their
own dealing with that situation. and
ask if they made any kind of mis-
take. The salesman who fails to
land some big sale he expected, may
be tempted to curse his luck. or to
say that someone treated him un-
fairly. That attitude won't get him
anywhere. If he asks himself whe-
ther he used good judgment, If he.
tried hard enough to please his GUS
toner, and was well informed about
his goods, and If he finds ways to
handle such a proposition more in
teIligently next time, he has profit
ed by that failure.

Milford, Friday, August 20, 1888

THE DELEGATES. at the Demo
cratic State Convention at Dover on
Tuesday did the expected. They
squabbled bitterly for control of the
new State Committee. They en-
dorsed the present New Deal nation
al administration. They lighted fires
of bitterness and factional feeling
which it will take years to eradicate.
And finally, they nominated State
ticket which should be overwhelm-
ingly defeated at the polls in Nov
vember. Long anticipated by those
who have followed the gathering
clouds of dissention among the lead
ers in the Democratic party in Della
ware, the outcome of Tuesdays fight
was no surprise. The men nominated
on Tuesday are fine gentlemen.
There is nothing that can be said
about them disparagingly so far as
character is concerned. Those who
have been renominated have a two
years record behind them. This
record speaks for itself. AS the
campaign progresses their public
shortcomings will be aired and the
voters will be given an opportunity
to judge their fitness to succeed
themselves. The newcomers on the
ticket must present good reasons for
popular support; and their fitness
for office must be determined at a
later date.
AS the Democrats begin their cam
paign, they find themselves badly |
split into factions each eager to get |
the others scalp. Much will have
to be done by the party leaders to
iron out their troubles. To us this
seems a hopeless task. We believe
it cannot and will not be done
Delaware Republicans will find dis
cordant elements making a fight
against them in November. co." :

LIVING IN HARMONY

The human race could save al
enormous amount of trouble if peo-
pie could only live together In
peace. The Jews and Arabs, who
are daily lighting in the Holy Land
should think about that.
Now II those Jews and Arabs
could only show sense, they would
learn that peace pays big dividends.
The Arabs would see that the ad-
vent Of the Jews. bringing new en-
terprises and money and chances to
work, would greatly benefit the ma
tives of that country. If some Jews
have been at fault in dealing with
the eountry's natives. they would
learn that it would pay to cultivate
their good will.
The same principle applies in our
own country. Labor and capital Of
ten spend energy fighting each other.
which could produce good business
and regular employment. If people
could but live together pAaceably.

KNOCKING AT OUR DOOR

What shall be done with the vast
number Of refugees from Germany,
Austria, and other countries, who
are practically forced to leave their
homes? They pietously look to other
countries for an opportunity to work
and earn a living. There may be a
million such people who knock at
Uncle Sans door and ask for help.
Our people can't take the mall in,
in time when they have 100000
out of work. Neither can they turn
a deaf ear to all this pitifuI distress.
The world must somehow find a
place for those who are driven from
their homes by persecution. The
parable of the Good Samaritan, who
bound up and cared for the wounds
of the man left suffering by the
roadside. still has meaning for our
age.

THE SMALL BUSINESS MEN


The general counsel of the Ma
tional Small Business Mems Asso-
citation. said in a recent address that
the small business man and woman
will be the salvation Of the Ameri-
can people. These people who con-
duct the smaller enterprises are so
close to the average run of people,
that they command a tremendous
amount of influence. and are in a
position to save the country from
it's troubles.
There are probably several mill
lion men and women of this tyre in
the United States. Up to a recent
date they have had little means for
exercising organized influence. If
their power could be brought to bear
on legislation and public opinion. it
could save the country from many
follies.
It takes brains. experience, and
Judgment to conduct even what is
called a small business. That kind
of experience tells one how the bus
mess of government should be con-
Quoted. People of that type should
be listened to. The ideas that enable
them to handle their own enter
prises can save the country from
disaster.

PROGRESs ANp ADYERTIsING

American prosperity took a tre-
mendous jump during the first quar-
ter of the present century. It was
about 1900 that newspapers began to
greatly enlarge and expand. One of
the principal reasons why they so
expanded, was that the business
world became convinced of the value
of advertising, and it used printers
ink far more than ever before.
This new advertising made people
want more things. When they want
ed more things, they just had to
work harder and more intelligently
so as to earn more money with
which to buy those things. The pro-
gress of the United States since 1900
could never have occurred, had it
not been for the power of advertis-
ing.
