Whitley, Surrey, England:
People certainly don't need to be
told about air raids now! There's a
certain melancholy significance for
me in the thought that, when Wa
terloo Bridge was in rehearsal. the
present horrible state OF civiliza-
ton was inaugurated.
Though none of us knew about
it at the time, warning play about
the last war was being produced at
the very moment when the world
was unconsciously changing from a
postwar to pre-war period.
The main thing I've been striv-
ing for in my plays (and I mean, of
course, aside from making a ridicu-
lousy comfortable living is this:
should like to be able to convince
the inhabitants of New York and
st. Louis and Spokane that they are
citizens Of the world-that they
must realize that the worlds prob
lens are inevitably their own-that
the failure of a bank in Vienna in
1881 affected their own homes just
as vitality as did a rise in prices in
the grocery store around their own
corner, or a rise in tax rates in
Washington. If we Americans want
to achieve isolation from the rest OF
the human race, We shall have to
abolish the press. telephone, tele-
graph, cable, steamship, airplane,
railroad and radio; we shall have
to cancel the very power of speech.
That is what made me so deter
mined to do my utmost to write a
play which would faithfully repro
duce the character and philosophy
of Abraham Lincoln. I deeply be-
lieve that no one has lived who so

MARNING TO THE PRESS

James G. Stahlman, president Of
the American Newspaper Publishers
Association. warned the newspapers
of America that they should resist
attempts to control their freedom.
He felt that the press as a whole
does a remarkable job in expressing
liberty Of thought.
The world never developed a bet
ter system than exists in this cOun-
try for voicing the thoughts of the
people. The people express their
thoughts by buying the newspapers
which seem to give the fairest re-
ports of events, and which express
the wisest and most practical Opin-
ions. So long as this freedom of ut
terance fiOates like a flag over this
grand country, it is not in danger.
The wisdom of the people is like "A
great sun shining into dark corners,
and revealing the truth for the
world to see.

OPTIMISM NEEDED

The Bible says people are saved
by hope. 1t was hope that built up
our country. Do our people have
enough of it now, when they con-
slider whatever of difficulties and
perils may lie ahead of them?,
II the old settlers and pioneers
had not had hope, where would they
have been? Who would have cross
ed the stormy Atlantic ocean in frail
ships, to settle in a new world
where they had to deal with hostile
savages, where they had to create
for themselves the equipment of
civilization and industry? How would
they have dared to face the enor-
nous labors of Telling forests. turn
ing wildernesses into farms, and
building homes and creating the
tools by which production became
possible?
What would the early pioneers of
the Great West have done If they
had not had hope? They would have
settled down in their homes in the
East, and the Indian and the buffalo
might yet ne the principal tenants of
the great Plains. II was hope that
led them on through incredible diff
iiculties and helped them build hap
py new homes in the golden West.
The difficulties we face today
seem small beside those the old col .
Onists and pioneers had to deal with.
We have no enemies, except those
we make for ourselves. We have the
most wonderful mechanical and
scientific development that the world
ever saw. If things don't go just
right. the difficulty is simply that we
don't know how to use the marvel
Ious tools that our people have Gre
ited, but time will remedy that de-
'ect. The courageous and ingenious
American people will find ways to
make those tools and this equipment
produce the grand results of which
hey are capable. Let us Danish
ONE of the fears that at times
eem to paralyze us. and go ahead
With confidence that our country
iill make its way over all Difficult

DIR ACHIEVING PEOPLE

The American people have always
been a go-ahead kind of folks. They
built up a grand country, because
they were not satisfied with small
results and unsatisfactory ways of
living. They were not satisfied with
log cabins, so they built nice houses
of better materials. They have al
ways gone on from one thing to the
next. never satisfied with what they
had. but always determined to have
something better.
1t should be the same in the life
of any good community like Milford.
If we just rest satisfied with what
we have. and don't try to improve
our community and provide more
advantages. we shall fall behind. In
that case we do not keep up with
the American tradition. which al
ways sees something better farther
Dn. and says those better things can
be attained.

THIS JITTERY WORLD

A sharp break in the stock mar
ket few days ago. and more or less
nervous trading since then, reveals
the jittery feeling that prevails all
over the world. The human family
has rarely worried about its future
as il has for the past year
The government of England has
opened defense drive. in which it
is seeking to fit men. women and
children into voluntary scheme TO
defend their country. Twenty mil
lion copies of a.. National Service
Handbook are being distributed, eX-
planning these plans for the whole
population. In former days when
England's superb navy defended
their country from aggression. no
such worries existed. Today when
a bombing airpIane can cross from
the continent to England in few
minutes, il is no wonder that the
Britishers look tremblingly over in
to the awful abyss of war.
The unrest and determination to
expand of countries like Germany
and Italy create a feeling of con-
stant tension. Germany has swall-
owed Austria and made CZechoslO-
vakia into puppet state. Where
will il strike next? Or will Italy de-
mand great colonial concessions?
In Germany and Italy great pom
UlatiOns are hemmed into narrow
territory without opportunity to pro-
duce their own food or maintain a
self sustaining life. You cant
Elame those people if they look TO"
chances TO make themselves self
sustaining. The world does not JUS
tify actions like the annexation OF
Austria or the persecution of the
German Jews. but it may say that
there would be better chances for
peace. If countries that are so hem
med in by inadequate territory had
better chance to feed their own
people and make comfortable liv-
ing. Meanwhile America has to sit
tight, and avoid getting mixed up in
these deplorable conflicts. which
need never exist were all nations
determined to see that everyone gets
justice.

COMFORTABLE WINTER HOMES

a newspaper item says that tenn
peratures of 80 to So degrees were
considered suitable for homes 100
years ago. What would the modern
family say to father. if he ran the
heater so poorly that il was only 50
or 55 in the living room? He would
probably have to go out to the dog
house. while ma and the boys tend
ed the furnace.
Some authorities say our homes
are kept too hot. The people of the
European nations are said to be sat
isfed with homes cooler than ours
in winter. and some might say they
are better off physically from not
drying out their noses and thrOats.
The average run Of our people want
homes heated to 40 or more. This
enables them to wear clothes a good
deal thinner than our grandparents
had. which should he conducive ~

NOW T0 MIKE FRIRNDS

Some shy and reticent people COM
plain because they don't make
friends easily. Sometimes they get
the impression that people don't
like them. There is rarely any foun-
dation for that feeling. The shy peo-
pie are not disliked. only they don't
seem to come out of their shells
enough so that people get really ac-
quainted with them. II you only
half know a person, you don't get
very close to him.
The way for such people to make
friends is to greet everyone with a
smile and hearty good morning. 1t
helps a great deal If. they join or
ganizatiOns, and work in these ae-
tivities, and are willing to serve on
Committees and do things for the
good of the society. In that way
they come close to their fellow MEM
bers. and intimaR ties of friendship
are created.

INCOME TAX THOUGHTS

Uncle Sam comes into the homes
of people who have incomes above
a certain minimum, and says to
them that as they have been favored
more than the average in this
worlds wealth, they should make a
special contribution for his benefit.
He says it is terribly costly to oper-
ate all the services maintained for
the good and protection Of the peo-
pie. and that those who have had
the best success in this country of
his should make some extra gift to
him for all he does for us.
People of moderate means say
they have no surplus of money, and
If Uncle Sam asks them for $40 or
500 or more they could use the
money for things really needed.
II is a great blessing to live in a
free country. where we can choose
our own way of life, say what we
think, go to any church we want to,
and work where and when we
please. 1t costs money in this world
of war and turmoil to maintain
these privileges. It is not best to
complain if we have to pay sofhe-
thing for them.

MAKING UNCLE SAM HEALTHY

What can be done to produce
health for everybody? A special
committee has reported to President
Roosevelt a far-reaehing plan to
provide health insurance, hospital
and medical service for everybody,
etc. 1t is a noble objective.
The folks who can't afford to pay
for hospital and medical care are
often up against it. They suffer from
the ills of this frail mortal body,
but may be forced to get along
without the gifts medical science is
ready to bestow on them. The doc
tors perform wonders of free SER
vice to countless people. but you
can't expect them to work the great
er part of the time for nothing.
Many rural communities have no
resident doctor, and no hospital
within reach. Plans are needed to
give the whole people the advantage
of modern science in treatment of
disease. The people should realize
that such plans will cost heavily
They would better pay the bills as
they go along. rather than ask fu-
ture generations to settle them.

THE NEW ENGLAND STATES

There is something rather splen-
did in the position taken by the New
England Governors in backing UP
Vermont in its refusal to relinquish
State rights in the matter of food
control in that State.
In the founding of the Federal
Government New England was DO
litically Federal, under WASHINGTON.
State rights had its stronghold in the
South, and Thomas Jefferson was the
Messiah. The division continued dur
ing the Civil War, and long after
wards.
In the whirl Of events during the
past six years Federal authority has
blanketed the whole country, like a
snow storm. Now the New England
States have declared for a principle
of Government that is as old as the
Constitution. They emphatically de-
mand the right to provide their own
systems of flood control-and they
know what foods are just as well as
the people who live in the low areas
of the Mississippi and other great
rivers.
In the establishment of the new
relations between the Federal and
State Governments the building of
hundreds of thousands OF miles of
highways was easily adjusted. The
states built the roads and the ex-
pense was matched with Federal
aid" A bill has appeared In Con-
gress to carry out that same meth
cd to cover flood control in New
