Satan's 5 Dates

Many families who for some reason
do not send their boys and girls to
summer camps, say they are up
against 1t to find vacation occupa-
ton for these kids. They complain
that the youngsters are constantly
asking what they shall do next.
Some of the kids slip over to fasci-
mating but undesirable companions.
When older people lie idle, they
tend to rust out. Idle children do
not uusually rust out, as their in
tense activity prevents that. They
are apt to try the sharp cutting edge
of their natures on some activity
their parents won't like.
A vacation job for such kids. if
not too strenuous, is a might fine
thing. If that cannot be found.
there are plenty Of things that need
doing around the home. II family
has two or more children. a COM
petitive race can be established
with prizes for the one who per-
forms these tasks the best. Any
way, remember that Mr.. Satan, ac-
cOrding to the old hymn, has a date
with those who stand around idle.
Milford chronicle., 1940-07-26
Campaigning, Then
And Now

Political campaigning has seen
great 0hanges. Many OF the old
folks can remember the grand torch
light professions Of former days.
Great companies Of marchers. COW
ering miles in many cities. would
trample through the dusty streets,
cheering every house illuminated in
their honor. The crowd that could
hOller the loudest was regarded as
the probable winner.
Perhaps the refreshments at the
end Of the march had something to
do with this enthusiasm in some
cases. Today, If there is to be a
procession, the marchers may de-
mand that they do their marching in
softly cushioned automobiles.
Today the newspaper and the ra-
dio are the great powers. Instead OF
yelling thrOngs on the streets, the
printing press quietly puts the mes
sage into every home. The ether
waves carry it on the wings of the
wind. The people have plenty of
to get the facts. If they
make mistake. they can't lay of
he blame on any Jonah.
Milford chronicle., 1940-07-26
Camping Out

Can you stand it to rough it on a
camping out party? Can you sleep
peacefully on bed of pine boughs?
Can you lug water from distant
spring? Can you clean the fish? If
you can say yes to such questions,
you are a true camper, and you will
return from the lake and the river
with an Indian tan and a new spring
in your step.
The modern camp party does not
need to be primitive. 1t can take
away comfortable cot bed, modern
cooking apparatus, fly screens, etc.
That is fine, but let us not become
too welded to the soft comforts Of
nice homes. Vigorous people get a
new thrill when they go out in the
open, and prove their ability to live
like the old pioneers.

Business News

There is one form Of expression
about newspapers which gives g
false impression. That is to divide
newspaper space into two main
sections, first its news columns. and
second. its advertising. That is not
a correct use of words, since the
advertising is news OF the most in
teresting kind.
The advertising tells what the
stores are offering. and what these
offerings will cost. In times when
incomes are inadequate and when
taxes are high. people have to make
the dollar stretch a long way. The
columns are a wonder
full news feature, telling how that
can be done.
