THE TANTRnM 0F WAR

A. A. Berle, Jr., assistant secre'
tary Of state, says the United States
is trying to show the world the way
Of peace, so that war will seem silly
The word silly is not usually applied
to anything so horrible as war. YET
it fits such conflict very well. Sill
ness might he defined as a weakness
of mental power. and war shows that
quality.
When people go to war. except in
self defense when attacked, they
show a lack Of mental power like
young children. They act like some
little kid about five years old who
goes into a tantrum because he
can't have what he wants. II he is
told to go to bed before he has FIN
ished playing with his toys. such a
kid lies down on the floor, screams
at the top of his voice. beats his
head, hands, and feet on the floor,
and gets so red in the face that the
anxious family fear, he is going to
have a fit. 1t is the violent Outburts
OF a little person who has not ac-
quired judgment and lacks self con-
troll.
This is about what happens when
any country starts a war. If IL had
any sense. it would know that it can
get more by peaceful policies than
it ever would by fighting. Because
II is still in the infant and silly stage
OF existence, and because it has made
no progress in growing up into ma
turity of Judgment. it dashes its head
against the fates of war. II acts far
worse than any child acts, because
the child in a tantrum rarely seeks
10 hurt anyone but himself The ma
ton in the war tantrnm proceeds TO
launch its deadly attack on its sup
posed foes, and destroy life and
in wild childish sweep of
anger.
Children grow up and look back at
those tantrums and wonder they
were ever so silly. Wonder when
nations will Outgrow the childish
iantrum of war. that has such ter
rihle results on all the world, in
rluding themselves?
Milford chronicle., 1940-03-08
WIVES NO DRTVR

Husbands are sometimes advised
not to try to teach their wives to
drive an automobile. It is remarked
that someone outside the family will
be more patient
Most Of the young women and
girls learn TO drive. and take It up
easily. but many of the older women
have failed to do so. They have
tried, and after running the machine
into the garage door or up on a
neighbor's lawn. they become pan
icky and decide that the back seat
is the best place for them.
The trouble in most cases was
that they became nervous during
their preliminary lessons. Under
nervous strain. people often lose
control of some of their faculties,
and become so crippled by fear that
their minds do not function natur-
ally. The husbands cross remarks
at what he considers the wife's "stu-
pidity" may have created that nerve
strain. The husband was usually
equilly stupid when he first stepped
on the gas.
Milford chronicle., 1940-03-08
WHAT nO van nRra

II people are asked to do some
form Of organization work, take
some office in a club or society Of any
kind they sometimes ask what am
/ going to get out OF it?"
They should look at It as perform
ing their part Of the work Of main
tanning a good community. This
work has to be done. and people
should all be willing to do their
share of that work. II they want to
know what personal advantage they
will get, they can feel sure It will
give them many personal friend
ships. many of which will be valu-
able in business and work. People
who want friends can't make them
just by meeting them on the street.
They have to be engaged in some
joint activity which gives them
common interest. People who give
time freely to such organization
work have a multitude Of friends and
become extremely popular.
Milford chronicle., 1940-03-08
RELIEF PREVENTION

Health authorities try TO show the
People that it is extremely impor-
tant TO prevent the outbreak of dis
ease Where small pOx.-for instance,
was in old times a leading cause of
death. now it has been practically
wiped ont as the result of inOcula-
! tions.
There is also such a thing as re-
lief prevention. and social agencies
are working everywhere TO enable
people TO 50 fit themselves for use
iulness and take advantage of Op-
portunities that they will not have
to ask for relief. 1t is remarked that
one of the best way TO accomplish
that END is TO RgeParf1ReoPle for
avocations that can be converted in
to vOcatiOns.
An avocation is a kind of subOr-
dinate occupation. something that
people take up in their spare time.
For instance, if man employed in
a factory learns how TO he a sue
cessful gardener. he may be able to
earn considerable money if his shop
shuts down, by his aVocation of rails
ing vegetables.
Old time life developed lacks of
all trades" They could turn their
hand to almost anything. So if their
customary occupation gave out, they
had alternative employments with
which they could make themselves
useful
II will perhaps be said that il is
very difficult to accomplish such
things in ordinary industrial com
munities. In thickly settled city
there may be very little room for gar
dening, and little chance to learn me-
chanical trades. II is unfortunate
that so many millions of people know
only one line of work, and often
only one little process which they
have performed over and over again. |
If they could learn more than one
trade, their chances OF obtaining !
work in duh periods would be i'm
proved.
If people could combine factory |
and farm life. as so many of the wis
EST thinkers have advocated, work
ng on their home acres and farm an
mails during times of slow factory
work, the problem of unemployment
would be greatly relieved.

LAST DAY RUSHRS

The final days when income tax re-
turns have to be handed in to the
federal authorities see crowds oi
people thronging into the revenue
Offices. In many cases they cause
themselves extra work and waiting.
The harassed deputies can't attend to
this jam all at once. One would
think these folks would be afraid
they might forget the final day. and
allow a penalty to be charged up
against them. Or they might get
sick and not be able to attend to this
duty for weeks.
Uncle Sam is a good natured sort
of eritter. but he might get cross if
people should happen, 10 overlook
the final day, and turn up with their
returns days or weeks late.
