Bombed Cities

Nazi bombers are doing terrible
damage in England. The awful de-
struction in London seems terrible
enough, yet is not as serious as re-
cent bombing of Industrial cities
like Coventry and Birmingham. The
destruction of plants turning out
war material is the most dangerous
form of such destruction, tending to
cripple Britain's power to strike
back.
But Britain is striking back with
severe blows. as the heavy damage
inflicted on German industries ap-
pears to show. The British people
are standing up under the rain of
death with a fortitude which equals
the finest exploits of the heroes OF
history.

The Demand For Skill

4 news disypatch states that the
national defense program will be
unable to absorb more than one
fourth of the people now unemploy-
ed. leaving a vast number still out
OF work. Yet there is a demand in
many industries for more skilled la
Dor, and a failure to find the skilled
workers needed. When people have
some form Of skill in some occupa-
tion or trade, their chances of get
ting work are greatly improved.
1t used to be said that every boy
should be taught some skilled trade.
1t was easier to do that in former
years. when there were jobs enough
for everyone. To teach every boy
and girl a skilled trade now. it would
be necessary to provide many more
trade and technical schools to give
such training. This would involve
great expense. Yet sending a boy
or girl out in the world without
ability to perform well some kind
Of necessary work, seems like a fail
ure to give them a fair chance for
success.

Army Discipline


How are the young men going tc
take to the disciplined life Of the Sc
lective service training campsg To
some who have always had their own
way since they were infants, this
discipline may at first seem irksome,
The typical American boy is inde-
pendent, he does not want to be
bossed. If he is of a lawless dis
position, these tendencies frequently
get him into serious trouble.
When he goes to work. he has to
conform to the requirements of the
job. He has a way of kicking very
vigorously, and sometimes going on
strike. if he does not like those re-
quirements.
Now when boys Of these various
types get into army training, they
find strict discipline is the rule.
An army can not possibly succeed
unless it has that discipline. II
soldiers were free to quit after an
eight-hour day or 40-hour week, If
they refused to get up early in the
morning or tramp many miles with
heavy weights on their backs. the
army thus produced would be q
laughing stock among the nations,
and no foe would fear us.
The boys who simply can't stand
this discipline will find they are up
against a different proposition than
they ever encountered. If
wabbly parents yielded weakly to
them. they will find that the army
is run on a different basis. 1t is the
duty of the commanding officers to
use their own Judgment and train
ing, and they perform a very fine
job at it.
The boys who don't like discipline
will in most cases submit to it, and
after little while they will like it. |
They will be able to see that the
army discipline brings results. 1t
takes thousands of individual wills
and shapes them into a compelling
and conqquering force. The men Of
the army will be proud of the grand
it produces.

Song Writer in Fame's Hall

Stephen C. Foster, famous writer
of popular songs. is to be honored by
a bust and tablet in the Hall of Fame
connected with New York university.
He will be the first musician to take
his place among 72 great Americans
thus honored.
Stephen Foster did not write great
works of classical music, but he
produced over 200 songs Of simple
heart appeal. like "old Folks al
Home" and "old Kentucky Home
These songs fill the heart with sym
pathy and love for the plain and
homely things Of life. They win be
sung when many great operas and
symphonies are forgotten, and gath
ering dust in the archives Of music
history.

Co-Operation

A community needs the coopera-
tive effort of all elements, if it is tC
make progress. The business people
need to cooperate with their rivals
and competitors. If they act as a
unit and work unitedly to advance
the interests of the town, they are
going to accomplish far more than
if they work individually and inde-
pendently.
The people need to show the spir-
it of cooperation, by buying all
possible supplies in their home
stores. The newspaper cooperates
by boosting all home town enter
prises. The people should cooper
ate with the newspaper by buying
and reading it. and using its col
umns to boost their business.

Work As Education

A leading psychologist remarks
that students who enter college af-
ter working one to three years
seem more mature, more earnest
and able to do better work, than
the average run Of those whose
education did not stop for this in
terval of work. This greater ma
turity may be due in many cases to
the greater age of these working
students. Yet a period of work does
tend to make young people more
mature and usually more earnest.
Young people who are not able to
go on to college frequently regret
all their lives that they missed that
opportunity. Yet any kind of work
which develops judgment and know
ledge of human nature is an educa-
ton. and frequently more valuable
than any education obtained from
books.
The young person who uses his
bl aims in his daily work, whether he
is in a college or a shop or store,
is developing the creative faculty,
and becomes an original thinker.
Some students who try to slip thru
schools and colleges are getting
very little benefit from their educa-
tion, and some are acquiring habits
that do them more harm than good.

The Power of Leadership

Young people are often told that
they should try to acquire the power
of leadership. Colby college at
waterville, Me-. recently held an
institute under the auspices of the
Women's Student league, on "The
technique of leadership" It had
special reference to leadership in
organizations. It is a good subject,
that can we'll be considered in
schools and colleges.
Many people try to exercise such
leadership, but fail for some reason.
Perhaps they make blunders when
they try to become leaders, and get
so laughed at that they subside in
silence, and let someone else do the
leading.
If you attend some public meeting
called for action on some subject,
you will note that relatively few
people have any definite idea Of what
should be done. The leading is usu-
ally done by a few people. There
may be more who have ideas, but
whose suggestions when offered do
not seem practical.
It is a wonderful gift when people
are able to speak up quickly and
say what is the appropriate thing to
do. Those who can do that soon get
elected to positions of leadership.
Il person may have excellent
Intelligence, yet when faced with
some problem in the organization to
which he belongs, he can't see at
once what is the correct thing to do.
One way to acquire such leadership
is to be willing to do any kind of
work needed in such an organiza-
ton. If a person has worked on
some committee, he gets an idea of
how things should be done, and is
in a position to make good sugges-
tiOns.
Leadership is necessary for sue
cess in business. A person who is
fair in all his dealings, and can see
how to treat everyone justly, will
be more likely to make a success as
a foreman, superintendent, or man
ager.
Milford chronicle., 1940-11-29
Early Gift Buying

Very many sensible people are
already buying Christmas gifts.
Some of the wise folks have kept
their eyes open all through the
year for suitable purchases for this
purpose.
People usually have a rather def
mite idea of the things they want
to buy for Christmas. If they wait
until short time before the holiday
they may not be able to find those
particular things. Sometimes the
particular kind of thing they want
has been so popular it is all sold
out.
People get the best results If they
start in at a very early date to col
lect those presents. By so doing
they avoid crowds. they can shop
more comfortably. and they make
conditions far better in the retail
stores. and save the store people
from fatigue and exhaustion.
