thority to deal with any emergency.

YOUTH DARES EVERYTHING

Rev. DR.. Harry Fosdick. famous

for what he called this splendid. be-
wildered, adventurous. hopeful gen.
Grafton"
That characterizes the young folks
pretty well. They don't know what
tc make of world where it is so
hard to get start. Yet they are
ready, as many of them say, ito try
anything once"
The youth who "leaves no stone
unturned." who is everlastingly try
ing to find new opportunities, is
likely to find some real treasure
under one of those stones in due
time. Only let us hope he does not
drift idly from one thing to some
thing else. He should not think he
is going to better his chances mere
ly by going some long distance from
home.

THE TOWN AND THE
NEWSPAPER

The newspaper is not merely a
record of a community. but also its
voice, by which it communicates with
the world. If a town lacks a good
newspaper, it is hard for it to i'm
press its views on its neighbors or
the public of the state and country.
Its leading people may do their best
to express the feelings of the town,
but they lack the medium through
which their voice can be heard.
Give a town a good modern news
paper, and it takes its place with the
most influential communities of the
state. That newspaper is read in
many newspaper offices, its opinions
and the ideas expressed by corre-
spondents are quoted. and the results
attained by its organizations are
told to a wide area. A town gets
great returns from every dollar it
spends in backing up the hometown
paper.

DADS "DEN"

What has become of Fathers
"den," so called? Some years ago
the fad was popular of setting aside
a room in the home known as the
den" usually supposed to be for
the particular comfort of the man of
the house. Named the "den," it was
supposed to be a room to which he
could retire after the manner of
some wild animal and do just what
he liked.
Possibly Ma thought if he had that
room fixed up for his own enjoyment.
he would spend more hours there,
instead of stepping out with the boys.
The chances are it was made so nice
that Ma and the girls occupied it
more than Father ever did. Perhaps
the trouble is now that Pa and Ma
are stepping on the gas so constant
ly, that they have no time to retire
to the den.
Milford chronicle., 1939-03-24
THE NEW ENTERPRISE

How many people in the United
States start out each year on some
little business enterprise of their
own? There may be a million or
two of them. Some of them are wo-
men who take boarders or produce
cooked food. Some people start
lunchrooms along the roads or else
where, or fit up their homes to re-
ceive tourists. Many of them upen
up little stores. 1t could be wished
that all these energetic folks could
be successful. How many of them
make good. and how many quit after
a time?
Advertising is the one best method
of pushing a new business, If the
prospective patrons of the concern
can be reached by such publicity. A
store in a community where the
home newspaper has good circu-
lation, finds advertising the cheapest
and quickest method of building up
trade. and countless concerns have
risen to successes through such pub
licity.
The new concern needs TO be ef-
fective along three lines. First, it
should try to give superior service,
and if 1t does. 1t is sure in time to
win support The lady who can cook
better food than the average will not
lack boarders or patrons.
Second. it should have some way
to attract attention. The little lunch
room along the road frequently does
that by artistic painting or display
of flowers and shrubbery. AS said
before, advertising is the great
standby.
Third. 1t takes patience to build
up a new enterprise. There are
probably few new concerns that pay
a good profit the first year. People
who stick to it, do superior work.
and have some good plan for at
tracing public attention. are pretty
sure TO get business.
Milford chronicle., 1939-03-24
THE SHOCKLESS WORLD

In former days people were rather
easily shocked. If youth drove his
fathers nag through the towns
main street at S miles an hour, the
folks shook their heads, and some
said that boy would come TO no good
end. If a girl showed any part Of
her stocking below her skirts, some
thought she was on the downward
path.
Now the boys burn er up and no
great indignation is expressed. The
bathing costumes have become very
aketchy, but the world accepts them.
Is the world worse because not so
easily shocked? 1t is probable that
there is more crime than there was in
the old days. but it is doubtful if
the world has grown more immoral.
1t is a dreadful thing when the
world becomes shockless as respects
/ cal wrong. In the old times it was
apt to be shocked by the wrong
things. Many real evils were then
passed unnoticed.

BIG UNIONS MAY HAVE
A PEACE POW-WOW
BY ]. Z. Jones

1t would not be surprising if the
American Federation of Labor and
the Congress of Industrial 0rgani-
cations have a few fist fights. They
will likely follow President Roose-
velt's plea to get together to make
peace.
Since John L. Lewis founded CIO
his organizations have developed
radical policies, and during the
same time William Green's forces
have leaned more strongly than ev-
er before towards conservative poll
cies and methods.
These unions are bitter rivals, and
so are their leaders. So in these an
ti-monopoly times why not let them
go their own way. They will, any
how. Besides, the country is big
enough for both of them.
Time and again the Administra-
tion has appealed to the A. +. of l..
and CIO to patch up their differ
ences and pull together in the in
terest of organized labor. AS usual
Leaders Green and Lewis express
their appreciation of the spirit that
prompts these suggestions, and have
consented to make another try, de-
spite the fact that these great or
ganizations have become separated
for reasons that are just as distinct
and plausible as those which have
created opposing political parties,
and competitors for business and
favors in every part of American
life.
Many of the same national, politi-
cal and industrial chiefs who were
so violently antagonistic to the
radical" Federation a dozen years
ago have transferred their animos-
ity to the CIO, which was guilty of
the sit-down strikes and disturb
ances which threatened to wreck in
dustries on land and sea.
Your correspondent in Washing
ton has watched with keen interest
the side-tracking of demands by
Congressman of all parties, of some
proposals to make all the labor
laws fair to all sides"-which
means FAIR to the American pub
lie and to our own system Of demo-
cracy. Whatever would be fair to
the American public would be fair
to all employers and employees.
Political appeals, or orders to the
unions, seem to be as out-of-date as
the prejudices that retarded the pro-
gress of collective bargainings for
more than q quarter Of a century.

OLD IDEAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH

If some improvement is suggested
in a city. many cautious people will
say it is not necessary. as such
things were not considered essential
in their youth. That statement may
or may not fit present conditions.
Many suggestions made for public
improvements call for excessive ex-
penditures.
The world is moving. and cities
have TO keep up if they can. The
Little Red Schoolhouse of former
days. as one instance, was called
good enough for those times. Stu
dents who really wanted TO learn
there always could, but it was not
so successful in arousing the indiffer-
ent. Today cities and towns should
have as good facilities as they can
afford. and if they fall behind places
of similar size and wealth in provid-
ing those facilities, population goes
elsewhere.
Milford chronicle., 1939-03-24
CREATING EMPLOYMENT

College professors. social scien-
fists, authors, editors, etc., are often
advancing theories as to how en-
ployment can be provided for all the
people. Whether these ideas are
practical is not always clear.
Meanwhile there is one element
OF people who get little publicity,
but are all the time doing things
that make employment. That class
consists of the travelling statesmen.
Their enthusiasm gives people cour-
age to do business and employ labor.
One such salesman said he had
travelled $4,000 miles in the two pre-
vious years. These travellers under
go hardships, due to failure to make
train connections. lumpy beds in ho-
tells, half-cooked restaurant food, etc,
but they get there just the same"
as the old song said. Many would
be out of work if it were not for
their activity.
Milford chronicle., 1939-03-24
WHERE SHALL WE WALKG

Movements are reported in many
places to build side paths along the
roads for the use of pedestrians. II
is complained that the modern world
gives the pedestrian little chance for
his exercise. In towns there are usu-
ally sidewalks where he is compare
lively safe. On country roads, ex-
cept in sparsely populated sections,
he has to constantly watch out for
fear some car will hit him.
They used to say that the way TO
get up an appetite for breakfast was
to go out and walk a mile. 1t is not
pleasant occupation on we'll travel
ed country roads now. The modern
person who seeks to obtain health
through the exercise of his own feet
has to stick pretty well to the town
sidewalks.
Out on the wide plains or in the
mountains, the pedestrian still has
his haunts where no car can follow
him. In ordinary well settled coun-
try. if he attempts to walk across lots
to rouse his sluggish liver, an irate
landowner may ask if he could read
''no-trespass" sign. When such prop
erty owners see their fences pulled
down by careless hunters and stroll
ers, they do not usually look favor
ably on strangers who cross their
fields.
1t would he fine thing if all i'm
portant roads could have side paths
on which the people could walk. II
would be so expensive to do it. that
this may not be done to any great
extent. The man who loves to walk
can at least have his tramps around
the streets of his town, and enjoy
them. 1t is one way TO get interested
in your own community and make
friends. If he gets vacation trip.
he can resort TO some mountain or
woodland, and tramp until his feet
ache.
