Home and Community

The progress of a commun-
ity depends not merely on its
business people, but all home
owners, all tenants of rented
homes, should do their part to
keep the town in the front
end of the procession. At
tractive homes are one of the
most essential features in the
development of a town. If
the homes are well cared for,
if disorder is removed, if the
grounds are wei tendede and
beautifed, a favorable I'M
preston is made on every Wis
itor. People spread the news
that such a town is prosper

Peach Crop So Far Safe

Truth of the old saying that
it's an i'll wind that blows no
body good is given a strange
confirmation by news that
steady breezes have served to
protect Sussex County peach
blossoms in last few weeks
while temperatures were sag
ging at various points. Word
from the experts, says the
Morning News, is "that the
winds prevented moisture
from accumulating on the
blossoms and forming a frost,
and that continuation Of this
condition just a few days
longer will probably carry the
peach crop beyond the danger
point.
"This information is partic-
ularly welcome because of es-
Inmates that the peach yield
for the state this year may
reach bumper crop level and
exceed the million-bushel
mark. With a prospect of
orchards in Kent County fol-
lowing those of Sussex in
coming into bloom very soon,
the southern areas of the
state should again prove a
mecca for sightseers to whom
the thousands Of colorful
trees offer a special lure of
beauty rivaling the famed
cherry blossoms in Washing
ton. Right now the peach
trees in the southern part of

The Law and Hit-Run Drivers

Two killings in Delaware
within a week by hit-run driv-
ers seem to indicate recur-
renee of that contempt for
law and indifference to others
that was one of the early de-
velopments in motor driving.
'In recent years." says the
Sunday Star, ''the evasion of
responsibility which is the
mark Of the moronic or the
brutally selfish driver seemed
to be decreasing, but appar-
emily there are plenty Of the
cowardly killers still roaming
the roads needless Of whom
they MAIN or kill, provided
only they are not caught.
mo one-not event the sor-
rowing relatives Of the vic
tins seeks undue punish
ment on the motorist who is
so unfortunate as to kill an
other through unavoidable ac-
cident, especially if the mo-
torist complies fully with the
law by stopping, disclosing
his identity and doing all he
can to establish the causes of
the occurrence.
apparently, however, it
devolves upon the authorities
to see that stiff sentences are
imposed on all hit-run drivers
who are caught, so that other
reckless and deadly chauffeurs
will understand they can not
flout the law with impunity.
The man who knowingly kills
and runs away is a murderer
in his heart"

work and would protect him
on the one hand against un-
fair competition by the work
ers of any foreign nation in
which a lower standard of liv-
ing prevails, and on the other
hand against exploitation by
unprincipled employers.
Such an ideal Government
would protect every man in
his right to keep what he has
earned, and as an essential
part of that protection, would
be administered as economic
ally as possible, in order. that
the burden of taxation might
rest as lightly and as equit-
ably as possible upon all It's
citizens.
This ideal Government
would make it it's first con-
Germ that every child had an
opportunity to obtain the best
education of which it was cap
able. If, in spite of that edu-
cation, it persisted in making
a fool of itself as it grew up,
we do not believe that is any
part Of any Governments $
concern.
That is not to say that Gov
ernment should permit the
swindler to roam unchecked ;
it should not tolerate impoSi-
tions of any kind upon the
ignorant and the unwary. But
we do not conceive it part of
Governments business to re-
compense the victims of their
own foolishness and extrav-
agance.
The ideal Government
would neither pamper its
criminals nor allow such so
cial conditions to exist as
tend to make crimes against

The Ideal Government

If we were asked to depict
an ideal social organization,
we should say, offhand, that
it would be one under which
any able-bodied, intelligent
man or woman could always
find work at wages sufficient
to provide for the necessities
of life and lay aside some
thing for old age, and after
forty years of work be able to
retire on his or her savings.
We think that a Govern
ment which concentrated on
those objectives and on moth
ing else would come pretty
near to being an ideal Govern
ment. It's corollary functions
might well include provision
for the security Of the thrifty
individuals savings, and such
regulations Of terms and con-
ditions of employment as
would at least not impair the
workers chance of living to
enjoy the fruits of a life's

The Green Lawn

As the spring comes on, the
householder asks how Ia
make the grass grow where II
doesn't want to, also how
those pesky weeds can be kent
out, which lift their impudent
heads even in spots where the
soil is poor. The first iob
would seem to be to give the
lawn a good raking. The un-
raked lawn appears in the
neighborhood about like the
boy with the uncombed hair
at the dinner table. The home
owner should not forget that
plants need food, just like hu-
mans do. Don't expect good
grass out of an unfertilized
lawn, any more than you ex-
pect a poorly fed boy to grow
strong and healthy.

the body polite alluring to
the young. 1t would be a
Government Of few laws, and
those restrictive upon individ-
ual liberty only as the eXer-
else of that liberty infringes
upon the liberties Of others.
1t would be adequately policed
and it's laws would be rigidly
enforced.
We do not expect ever to
see such a Government, either
in the United States nor any
where else. We believe that
what we have set down repre-
sents in large measure what
our Government is striving
for. We think that there are
too many people who want
Government to do a great

Old World Chaos
IsForecastby
Rabbi Gersfenfeld
Rotary and Kiwunis
Clubs Told Despots
Bring on Revolt

The next generation in this
country will be faced with an Old
World chaos, Rabbi Norman Ger
stenfeld said yesterday in Thanks
giving message to the joint meeting
Of the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs in
the Washington Hotel.
Correspondence. between the
Kaiser and Gear Nicholas II re-
vealed those rulers claimed "the
next generation is ours" he said, but
a brief period of is years showed
their error.
Strength Proves Weakness.
1t should be recognized that the
sources of strength, he told more
than $50 luncheon guests, cause the
downfall of despots. Servile peoples,
as shown in the history Of Germany
and Russia, may be held in check
for while, but sooner or later
they revolt. Property owners and
the middle class such as the United
States has would have precluded
revolt, he pointed out in stating
that democracy carries on through
humility.
There is no group" he said, "that
is strong enough to become tyranni-
cal" He outlined the despotism in
Russia and Germany and pointed
to the crash of their systems which
led to the present forms Of govern
ment
Urges Democratic Living.
"The next generation belongs to
God," he said, in calling for a con-
tinuation of democratic living.
Tom Eagan, president of the
Rotary Club, presided at the joint
meeting and introduced a number
of guests, including officers of the
Kiwanis Club. Among the honored
guests were Gabriel Dondono and
Higinio Acevedo, Colombian Boy
Scouts who hiked more than 5000
miles from their home country to
Washington.
