Military Training

The chairman Of the American Bar
Associations bill Of rights commit
tee holds that universal military
training is needed for the safety OF
the country, and that a great effort
should be made to place 100000
men under arms within a year.
Military power seems now to
count more than justice or the prom
ises made in treaties. The present
armed forces maintained by the Am
erican people seem very inadequate.
The oceans that surround our conti-
nent are a wonderful protection. but
if the British and French should
have 70 surrender their navies, the
defence measures once considered
adequate win be so no longer. When
a strong little nation like Holland
can be beaten down in 1--WE days. it
is time for even a great nation to
polish up its weapons, and learn how
TO shoot.

Belgium Yields

1t was sad news when the King Of
the Belgians told his army to sur
render to the conquering Nazis. The
Belgians have fought hard in many
wars. Their soil has run red with
blood in historic battles. Their lit
tie country has been called the cock
pit Of Europe. II was on that hard
fought ground that the battle Of
Waterloo was fought in 1916, and
there Napoleon Bonaparte lost his
job as world boss. and spent the
rest Of his life in exile. Some living
dictators could profit by studying
his fate.
Now little Belgium, which fought
with such deathless courage in the
World War, and whose armies have
fought like tigers in the present one.
is told to quit and go home. II is a
sad disappointment The Germans
have paid heavily for this conquest.
Milford chronicle., 1940-06-07
Keeping Step

If some people attempt to march
in a procession, they do not seem to
have any sense of rhythm. They
can't keep time to music, and they
spoil the appearance of a marching
line. 1t is the same with many peo-
pie who try to dance, who have no
idea of how to keep step. They Just
go plugging right along without re-
gard to the music. The young peo-
pie will say it is hard work dancing
with such fellow or girl.
We all have to learn to keep step
with the activities Of the home town.
If you keep your home place in a
disorderly way, you don't keep step
with your neighbors. nor march to
the tune Of neatness and order and
beauty. You create confusion in
your neighborhood, like the awk-
ward man who can't march in step
with his line.
Milford chronicle., 1940-06-07
Accepting a Position -

1t was a favorite phrase of news
paper reporters some years ago, to
say that someone who had obtained a
job had accepted a position" 1t
was a mouth filling phrase, and it
made people feel good. 1t sounded
as if several employers had dangled
pleasing chances before the subject
of the item, who had graciously con-
sented to take one of the various
openings that had competed for his
services.
The phrase is not so commonly
used now. The job seekers have to
seek the positions too actively, some
times too hungrily. 1t would be more
appropriate to say the employer had
accepted them. They would better
take hold also in a humble state of
mind, trying hard to please, and not
too sure OF their powers and abili-
ties.
Milford chronicle., 1940-06-07
Pawn for Defense

Congress Is apparently about "a
provide new and increased taxes "a
pay for national defense. Il should
do 50. The American people nave
been giving themselves illusory
hopes, by the freedom with which
they have borrowed money. They
have dreamed that Il would be easier
to pay their debts at some future
date than it is now. AS conditions
now look, it will be harder to nav in
future than now.
It is suggested that about $780,
100000 of the new defense costs be
provided by increased taxes, and
that the rest be borrowed, thus pil-
ing heavier and heavier loads on the
future. The American people should
say. they want the defense and are
willing to pay for it, and do not want
to load OF this burden on future
years and their children.
Either taxes or debts are far less
of burden than the costs Of war If
we become involved in it. II the de-
tense program is speeded up, as 1t
seems likely to be. the war makers
will speak softly to Uncle sam.

Knitters at it Again

A dispatch from Halifax. Nova
Scotia. tells how all Canada is knit
ting for the Canadian Navy. Great
stores of sweaters, scarves, socks
ETC., are being produced by busy wo-
men.
1t was a pretty and heartening
sight in World War days to see Am
erican women everywhere making
warm things for their soldiers. 1t
told how they were giving their en-
thusiasm to the national cause. With
every stroke Of the glistening nee
dies, there went a throb OF patriotic
emotion, and a desire to see the good
causes Of liberty and justice rule the
world The fast play Of these busy
needles told Of the admiration the
women felt for men who were living
in the hell Of trench life, and the in
tensity of their desire to soften their
sufferings.
Milford chronicle., 1940-06-07
Heaven and He'll

If people want to know what the
difference is between heaven and
hell, they might we'll look at the
contrast between America and Eu-
rope. The difference between the
future states of the righteous and
the wicked may not be greater.
In America, we have the advent of
the good old summer time" On the
ball grounds we hear the pleasant
crack of the batted baseball, and the
.ecstatic shouts Of the reoters. From
the swimming POOLS come the happy
shrieks Of the bathers. The pleasure
parties are tipping along the motor
roads, while from the open windows
drifts the pleasant rhythm of radio
music. A happy scene, and our trou-
bles seem little.
In poor, battered, bleeding, war
torn Europe. what a contrast! The
mind is appalled,, it can not compre-
hend a hundredth part of it. Mil
lions of pathetic refugees are plod-
ding along the roads, weary. bedrag-
gled, despairing. The homes of many
are in ruins. Many of them have lost
members of their families. Most of
them see no hope of a happy life
again. They drag wearily along, car
rying what little they can Of their
belongings.
The American people should not
gloat over this contrast, or their
freedom so far from the horrors of
war. We may not be exempt very
ong. We owe our relative safety
% the wisdom of our ancestors, who |
lad the sense to fee from such lands
If horror. So our immunity, for the
sreat majority of us, is due not to
'ur own foresight, but simply to
ur luck in being descended from
eople who had the sense to put a
reat ocean between themselves and
his misery.
The American people should look
cross the sea to those lands of sor-
ow and despair, and give out of
leir relative abundance to those
'ho are stripped of all.

A $4,000 Picnic

They had the second annual all
states picnic June 1 at Ontario. Cal
ifornia. at which guests were ex-
pected from every state in the United
States, with tables set for $4,000 peo-
pie. 1t was a gesture of friendship
for all the states of the union, and
symbolic of the tie of neighborli-
ness which should hold all the states
together.
When people go on a picnic any
where, they forget the petty ieal-
ousies of their families and neigh
bors They are so busy eating ham
sandwiches and batting balls on the
picnic ground, that they disregard
some mean things the neighbors
have said. A picnic for all the states
is a reminder that we are all neigh
bors. and should work together as
harmoniously as people do for the
fun of picnic day.

CRIMINAL fNTELIIaRNrE

A Psychologist Of the Univerlity
Of Chicago. after prolonged asudy,
finds that the average criminal has
ordinary intsiligence. Only those
who commit some Of the more vic-
lent crimes and sex ofienses have
less than average mentality.
The boy who has q good mind may
be tempted 70 feel that his brains
are so smart he does not need to
work like ordinary people. and can
use that ssmart intelligence to get
money by short cuts. The answer to
that is 70 provide work for boys at
an early age. SO they get in the habit
Of working II a hoy can have little
jobs Of regular work not interfering
with his school study. BY which he
can earn ! little money. he usually
takes pride in them, and is not

Father s Dav

June is named TO be observed as
Fathers Day. It does not appear
how extensively this occasion is OBJ
served. Father will not be over
whelmed by any great multitude of
gifts, tributes, and appreciation.
There are times when Father is re-
garded as something of a joke. His
day may be observed in some fam
lilies by the suggestion that he cell
ebrate his own day by taking the
kids to the ball game.
Perhaps one reason why Fathers
Day is not regarded with more gen.
eral recognition is that Father does
not invariably attend strictly to his
duties as a Father The family
would have a hard row without Fa-
theirs efforts. In the main he wears
his harness faithfully, and pulls the
load over countless hard places. Give
him a break on Fathers Day!

Helping the Home
Town

Anything that helps the home town
helps all of us. When we spend more
money on schools, and thereby inn
prove their ability to educate the
children, we get a benefit through
brighter and more capable young
people. So it is in every field of COM
munity action. Whatever helps the
home town, enables the home town
to do more for its people.
The folks therefore who sit back
and devote themselves solely to their
own personal interests, are a kind
Of dead weight on the progress of
the town. OF course if they do faith
full work on their job and keep nice
looking home places. these things
help great deal But there are
many enterprises that need the sup
port of the people generally for sue
cess. Unless these enterprises are
supported, home town progress lags
behind.

No Reason for Panic

Many of our pople have suddenly
become panicky about the war men
ace. President Roosevelt. in his re-
cent fireside chat, counseled the peo-
pie to avoid such feelings. Panic
never gets people anywhere. except
into trouble. whether it is in a pub
lie hall or a national emergency.
Yet things have happened that our
people thought never would happen.
There is probably no iminent danger
of an attack by Germany on the Uni
ted States. The Germans will be
weak for some time after their ter
rible losses.
Our people can no longer depend
on the British and French navies as
a sure protection. These great fleets
may yet be surrendered Our peo-
pie would better pay double their
present federal taxes than take any
chances of a, blitzkries. ''oS" -,sc
