County Nurse.
These Christmas Seal returns also
help to finance our county nurse
service. Miss Virginia Karlson is
doing very good job. She is deserv-
ing of your praise and support. A
county nurse cannot be expected to
do private nursing. Her principal
service is rendered through the
schools. Health education, health
supervision, health surveys, health
records, inspections, advice and sug-
gestions are all important phases of
her busy daily program. In one cpl
demic alone or in one special con-
tagious case or deficiency her serv-
ices are often worth more than
years salary. Like a teachers serv-
ice, it cannot be measured in mere
dollars and cents. Has your school
district board voted SIS per teacher
for the county nurse fund?

Marriages.
A. E. GUSTAFSON. County Supt.

Marriages.
Every year number of our women
teachers become married some time
during the summer Tor during the
school Year, and then continue teach
ing. There is no law against teachers
getting married or against married
women teaching. Some of our mar
ried teachers are known to be some
of the best teachers we have. Matri-
mony in itself is no legitimate cause
for cancellation of contract, unless
by mutual agreement Crude ideals
and careless home talk often help to
destroy good school situations.
Christmas.
Most of our schools and churches
are preparing more or less elaborate
Christmas programs. Training for
various programs is valuable extra
curricular work, but is often over
done in some schools Too much
time should not be taken from the
regular school work for school "pro-
grams" Most teachers are able to
handle most all of this preparation
during language and recreation per-
iods. It is not fair to measure a
teacher by her school entertainments
alone. There are other important
measures.

ASKOV
For Better Christmas Decoratir

AT recent meeting of the Askov
Garden club it was decided to spon-
sor drive for more and better
Christmas decorations of homes and
business places. 1t is not "drive"
in the usual sense of the word, nor is
1t a contest, nor are any prizes to
be offered. It is pure and simple
effort to make everyone conscious
of the holiday season; and inasmuch
as the community is located where
evergreen Christmas decorations are
available in abundance at very small
expense it would be an easy matter
for every home to adorn the front
door with wreath of some kind and
those who have more time and ambi-
ton are urged to trim the home with
colored electric bulbs, etc.
If everyone will join in the right
spirit Askov can be made the pref
test little town between the Twin
Cities and the Twin Ports.

RADIANT LIVING
BLAZING WINDOWS
BY Rev. C. NJ. Griffeth
Pastor Ridgely NJ. e. Church
Ridgely, Md.

1t was in the late afternoon, the
setting sun was behind us as we were
brisking along the mountain highway
that paralleled the slow flowing Sus-
quehanna when l saw it.
1t was across the river, halfway up
on The mountain side, possibly a mile
or mile and half in the distance.
Yet even so far away it caught my
eye and impressed itself indelibly
upon my memory.
Shining with the intense earnest
ness of an airmail beacon was a
CLEAN of brilliant white light.
AS we breezed along, kept my eye
upon it for was mystified. That was
no place for an airmail beacon and
besides, it was not revolving. 1t was
stationary.
Presently, as we came closer, it
divided itself into two parallel lights,
and imagine my surprise little later,
to discover that it was a farm house
whose two upper windows were joy
fully and intently rejecting the rays
of the setting sun.
Then we were abreast of it, /
BldlCeu dCTOSS the river anu 4lOLlSCu
that the house was small, weather
beaten, and deserted. 1t was in a
wretched condition. The paint had
long before faded into dullness, the
door was gone and some of the
window sash were broken.
Yet that old house, deserted and
dilapidated as it was, stood there
ahlaZe with glOrYi
AS we shot on past, the old house
seemed to take on a voice, which.
jumping across the river, caught up
to our speeding car and above the
hum of the motor, spoke TO me.

denly assuming a briskness that had
in it the vigor of an immortal pur-
pose, it spoke again.

Milford chronicle., 1939-09-15
Improving Distribution

At the request of the Twentieth
Century Fund, a number of nation
ally known men concerned with the
distribution problem in the United
States recently formed a committee
and made a series of recommenda-
t;ons designed TO improve marketing
methods Members of the commit
tee included authorities of widely
differing points of view such as Stu
art Chase, the we'll known liberal
economist; John P. Frey of the Am
erican Federation of Labor, and Paul
H. Nystrom, President of the Limit
ed Price Variety Stores Association
and Professor of Marketing at Col
umbia University.
Two of the recommendations unan-
imously commended by the eight
man committee are of special inter
est to the consumer. First, the ex-
perts believe that it is possible.
through planning, to establish an
equitable sliding scale of prices for
single article. The price would de-
pend upon the services rendered.
For example, a purchase made on
the cash-and-carry plan on a nom
basis, would cost less
than if charge, return and delivery
service were required. This idea, to
a considerable extent, has already
been put into effect by mass-mer-
outlets such as the
chains and the organized ;ndepend-
ents, and has met with full consum-
er approval.
The committee unequivocably ad
locates the repeal of all laws de-
signed to preserve or destroy some
special group in the distribution
structure without regard for the
general public interest. 1t points
specifically to special anti-chaln
axes as an outstanding example OF
he anti-consumer trend. This rec
is directly in line with
hat of labor organizations. consum-
.r groups, newspaper associations,
agricultural groups. etc.
All in all, this committee, made up
is it is of men representing many
social and economic ideas. points the
way to better deal for the consum-
to a sound merchandising
;ystem, based ON the proven prin-
,iple of open competition.
