Back from the Honey
Moon

The newlyweds' honeymoon is &
kind Of extension Of the courtshiE
days, There are soulful looks and
billing and cooling. Scenes Of ro-
nance and beauty add charm to the
days. Some Of course quarrel even
before the honeymoon is over. Per-
haps these scraps are only a kind OF
heat lightning, indicating warm wea-
ther. but no great passage of cleo
tricity.
The honeymoon is like some turn
in the road in an enchanted forest.
The travellers have changed their di-
rection, but the bowers Of sentiment
enclose them so deeply that they do
not realize they have come into a
wholly different country. Soon they
will pass out of those leafy groves.
and come out under plain sunlight
into some wholly new land. They will
find perils and problems which they
did not meet along the path of single
life.
Days of courtship are days Of
pleasure. The suitor will not prob
ably invite the beloved to engage in
some toll so he can see how they
work together. They usually take
part in a round of amusement. So
they dance through a dreamy waltz
in a land of song and flowers.
After the honeymoon there come
the shocks and strains of ordinary
life. The man meets the rivalry of
competitors, the ne
elects of a cold world. At home the
steak is burned or the roof leaks.
One wants to spend the evening in
quiet reading, one wants to step
high and wide.
If there is true love, it finds deep
wells of refreshment along the way
t climbs hard hills and gets inspir-
ltion from high mountain peaks. The
husband might as well realize that
le has to do most everything the wife
wants. If he does, and even If he
soes beyond the limit of what should
'e asked, she usually turns around
nd makes sacrifices more than he
expected.

Compulsory Service

There is a widespread demand, in
world where the makers of war
seem to almost rule the planet, for
compulsory military training. Whe-
ther all American young men should
have it is a question, but very many
should expect to accept this activity
as a duty. Youth has always re-
sponded when it was asked to defend
its homes and its schools. and its
chance in life.
The Civilian Conservation Corrs
has received generous benefits. No
nation on earth ever attempted such
a big task for its young men. The
youths who gain the advantages of
this training should expect to make
a good return. A cordial response to
the suggestion that they accept mil
tary training is to be expected.

Marriage Still Popular

Questions and quizzes submitted to
young women college seniors indi-
cate that marriage is still popular
They have not become such hungry
bookworms that they are Indifferent
to dates. Nor are they shocked or
disguested when a good looking male
comes along.
Also they are not unconcerned
about rings and flowers and the min
lister and the vine covered cottage.
Most of them like the idea, though
the standards to which candidates
have to conform are higher than for
merly. At least the suitor should
have a clean shave, well pressed
trousers, it won't hurt him any if he
can repeat some lines of poetry, and
he should show evidence of a fair
pay envelope.

EYESORRS

What can be done to keep people
from maintaining eyesores. consist
ing of ugly or extremely shabby
looking grounds and buildings, which
injure the appearance of the neigh
borhood? Some people think city or
town authorities should have power
to order such places improved or
cleaned up.
The American system of govern
ment usually leaves the owner Of
property free to do as he pleases with
it. Sometimes property gets a run
down appearance because the own
er is physically or financially un-
able to improve it, in which case he
is entitled to sympathy. If he is SIM
ply careless. somebody might hint
that the neighbors would
give three cheers If he would i'm
prove his property. and make it a
credit to the street.

Improvement Societie!


There are probably thousands of
cities. towns. and villages where
there is an organization called the
Improvement Society,"" or some
such name. Chambers of Commerce
carry on similar functions. It makes
little difference what kind Of organ
ization does the work, provided II is
done.
If some particular improvement is
needed in a town, somebody usually
has to do some hard work before
that improvement is obtained. If
people just talk about it in their
homes. nothing may be done about
it. But If some organization viii
take up such an issue, discuss it in
a public way, secure public support
for it, the obstacles in the way of
such an effort can usually be over
come. The people who carry on ef-
forts of this kind are entitled to tae
loudest kind Of praise.
Milford chronicle., 1940-06-21
Deserter or Refugee

The newspaper joke tells how the
magistrate told the colored man that
he had performed a mean act in de-
serting his wife. The defendant said
that if the Judge knew that lady as
he did, he would call the accused a
refugee rather than a deserter.
There are some in both sexes with
whom no one can live in peace, ex-
cept by utter submission. It is one
of the tragedies Of life that some
people do not show up their real
natures until the knot is firmly tied.
The people who contemplate mar
riage should curb their too ardent
desires until they see whether the
shine is going to wear OF.

Building Rural America

The U. S. Department Of Agricul-
ture has in contemplation an ex-
tended program for reconstruction OF
rural life. With millions of farm
workers unemployed or partly idle,
country life needs a lift The energy
and experience possessed by these
workers is like some great resource
that is only partly utilized, like some
vast stream whose power is only
turning a few wheels.
The rural country is raising more
food products than can be sold.
There are two possible solutions.
One is to so boost manufacturing
production that unemployed farm
workers will be needed at the bench
and in the store. The second is to
set the research men to finding new
uses for farm products. They have
performed miracles in Gre
ating these new markets. They will
soon perform more.

Germany's Secret
Work

How did the German government,
and the people behind it. accomplish
their tremendous task Of making the
most complete and comprehensive
preparation for war that the world
ever saw? How did they do it with
out creating any adequate realiza-
tion Of this peril elsewhere?
We see the greatest force Of war
planes the world ever saw, which
rain death on armies and destruc-
tion on war supplies, a great army
of armored tanks which break
through battle lines that would have
been considered impregnable in the
World War. Also a great system for
dropping armies by parachute into
the centers Of a hostile country.

i Greatest Surprise PARTY
The war making power which ne
German nation has developed while
the rest Of the world was asleeu or
playing at sports. remains perbaps
the greatest wonder Of modern times.
1t Is perfectly amazing how they
have developed this power for death
and destruction.
They hover over the fields Of
death with their terrible airplaues
which at the start Tar exceeded those
of the allies. They roll on the bat
tlefelds vast armies Of tanks and
armored cars, against which soldiers
on foot can't be expected to stand.
They plough through inassed armies,
which in the World War would have
been considered well defensed.
Their troops descend from the air
on parachutes in swarms, ready to
create havoc behind the lines. They
have eollapsibIe rubber boats by
which they can cross the rivers. In
many lands over the world their
agents are ready to aid them in case
the Germans invade these countries.
or at least to lull the people to sleep
by diverting attention from the dan
ger which the NaEi regime creates.
Our country has awakened from its
dream Of peace with a rude shock.
1t had a vision of a pleasant world
Of peace. what the Bible calls one
flowing with milk and honey. where
weapons Of war should be laid aside.
People dreamed that by addressing
peaceful and cOnciliatory words to
the war makers. they would quit
their brutal ways, and settle down
and live in quiet harmony.
We have to come down to the cold
hard facts of reality and get ready
to meet steel with steel. We should
not of course despair about the world.
The human race has lived through
such trials before. When tyrants
and oppressors have risen to plague
the earth, means of getting rid of
them have appeared.

CARRYING THE BUNDLES

The men and women who are seen
carrying bundles through the streets
may seem to be having a laborious
time, but it is a sign that they have
been in their home stores looking
over the stocks and finding out what
good stun the home merchants are
selling. A town where the people are
doing that is one in which business
is pretty sure to be prosperous.
When people go into the stores Of
Milford. they are impressed by the
variety and quality of the stocks. By
examining the goods personally they
can pick out just what they want
These folks seen carrying the bum
dies look cheerful. and show satis-
faction with the things they have
bought in Milford.
Milford chronicle., 1940-06-21
The Home Town Show

The people have always enjoyed
exhibitions where attractive pro-
ducts are displayed. Year after year
they keep going to cattle shows, and
never tire of seeing these exhibits.
There is one kind of show v hich
they can visit every day in the year,
and that is seen in the comprehen-
siVe and beautiful products display
ed in the stores of a good town like
Milford. There the products Of the
whole world are brought into our
own streets, and can be seen with
out taking any time OF or money for
travel. If people were not so famil-
lar with this experience, if they had
come from some remote neighbor-
hood, they would call it a most de-
lightful and rewarding pleasure to
go through our stores and see the
interesting, valuable, useful and
beautiful things there exhibited.
Milford chronicle., 1940-06-21
SETTLING LABOR DISPUTES

The Industrial Peace Board Of
Toledo, Ohio, has a record Of settling
labor disputes in l57 cases. thus
averting strikes of over $1,000 en-
rloyees.
An organization like that which
maintains peace is as fine a thing
for a city as getting lot of new in
dustries. Industrial progress de-
pends not merely on having indus
tries, but on keeping them running.
When some of the industries are tied
UP by strikes. business goes else
where, and the trade and institutions
of a city suffer There was an old
proverb that three moves were as
bad as a fire, and a prolonged strike
may do more harm than either moves
or fire.

EIonors for L.earninc

4-IQnQIS IOE Learning
Classic and cultured scenes are
being witnessed IN colleges and uni.
yersities, where these inatitutiona
are comforting scholastic degrees on
their graduates. Also men and wo-
men who have done large work in the
world are being recognized by spe-
.eial honorary degrees.
It is sometimes said that to put a
piece of paper IN the hands of a
youth telling him he is now a Bach
elOr of Arts, or something else, is
not likely to get him anywhere in
the world Of work The prospective
employer, they say, Is looking for
the kind Of degree you get when you
put on an apron. roll up your sleeves.
and operate some machine or tool
with exceptional skill.
The world has way OF honoring
those who can hit baseball the
farthest, administer telling blows to
a fighter, or make heap OF money
in some deal. When the colleges
give people degrees simply for the
requirement of the wisdom of the
world, it is a suggestion that the
brain is mightier than the tricks of
the hand, and that service to man
kind counts higher than amusing the
world.

Scene of Wild Frenzy

full homes, can scarcely realize the
scenes of horror in Europe. Nothing
like it was ever seen in history. The
mind sickens and reYolts.
The way human life is being laid
on the altar of sacrifice will blot
these years with the darkest stain
of history It was estimated that in
about three weeks of the campaign
in Belgium and Flanders, the Ger
mans lost 100000 men and had 300,-
900 wounded. The campaign in
France so far has probably cost at
least that number. and very likely
more If the war should continue on
anything like the present scale for
six months, there would probably
be 100000 Germans dead and g.
100000 wounded. OF the latter fig
ure, perhaps half would be perma-
nently crippled or disabled.
Those responsible for this war dis
regard the human suffering, the sor-
row, the impoverishment, and the
destruction of mental and physical
power which such a conflict brings
to any nation. No country is going
to make anything by sending the
flower of its young manhood to
death. An enfeeblement will follow |
that will far more than Offset any
gains that a conqueror can make.
A strange and wild frenzy has
seized the hearts of these millions.
They wipe out beautiful cities, with
rich treasures of ages, they turn
homes of love and peace into sad
ruins. This sorrow and impoverish-
ment could be avoided if men would
only become tolerant and fair. (

"a part of the tragedy. Millions of

Milford, Friday, June 81, 1910

FROM THE HOLOCAUST of Eu-
rope comes a cry for help, a cry
not only emitted from the throats OF
thousands of brave soldiers, but a
tortured cry wrung from the souls
of millions of war-tOrn refugees, who
have seen their world disintegrate
before their very eyes. This cry has
been heard in the last stronghold of
Democracy, America, and to the sue
cor of these unfortunate victims of
mans inhumanity to man. hastens
the worlds most powerful organi-
zation for the alienation of human
suffering, the American Red Cross.
To date the Red Cross with its null
titudinous chapters in every city,
town and hamlet in these United
States has sent into the man-made
hell across the Atlantic, millions of
dollars worth of food, clothing and
medical supplies. Additional cargoes
are being prepared, others are on the
high seas, but still the pitiful cry
is heard, Help lest we perish" In
formed news commentators say that
this coming winter will surely be
one of famine not only for the con-
Queror but for the conquered. With
this distressing information in hand
the Delaware Chapter of the Ameri-
can Red Cross under the vigorous
direction of Lammot dupont, Jr., has
issued another appeal for funds. The
Milford Chapter which recently rails
ed $500 has been asked to raise $500 |
more. Contributions of all sizes are
accepted. and it is the earnest hope |
of the local officers that the good !
people of this community will rally
to the cause, and Milford will be able
to do her bit to bring a ray of light
into a world shrouded in the gloom
of despair.

discipline when they kept the far
reaching extent Of this preparation

world to the danger.
No mch secret preparation for war
could go on In the United States
without its being realized elsewhere.
The taikative American people and
their enterprising newspapers would
tell Il to the world. The German
press can say nothing that the gov
eminent does not want spoken. The
free press is the worlds alarm clock,
and bad things happen when that
clock is silenced.

THE HUMAN RACE is swayed by

So the business world is swayed and
trade is obtained, by the good talk
which business concerns utter about
