Under Bombardment

What would the people Of Milford
do. If their community were being
bombarded from the skies, the way
poor old London is? What would
the average American do?
Who can tell what he would do in
aimoment Of ternsr? If homes we're
falling under high explosives like
houses Of cards when a. child sweeps
them away, if dead bodies by the
score were being carried out from
an adjoining building, some people
who talk very loud now might shake
with fear. and decide the best thing
was to give in" The British and
American people were never Of a
giving in" type. They did not give
in when the Indians ran through
their plantations in colonial days.
but they fired away at the red war
riors. and laid as many low as they
could. One imagines that the Amer
leans would do the same under bonn
bardment, which is evidently what
The British are doing.

Why People Don't
Vote--No. 4

Probably when election day comes
November S. there viii be at least
100000 people who could vote
but who will fail to do SO. The
above figure seems an extremely low
estimate. and the number of nom
voters might be 15;OOO.OOO or 2O.OOO.-
600. The Chronicle will discuss in
few brief articles the reasons why
50 many people fail to exercise this
cherished privilege.
The American people always val
ued very profoundly their freedom
and Independence and their right to
shape their own lives. But these
rights depend upon the existence Of
a good and wise government. How
come that right that is so essential
to our happiness seems to be viewed
as nearly valueless by a vast army
OF people?
Many of these folks do not fully |
realize the Importance of their gov
ernment to them personally. Yet
the principal difference between
countries, and between the condition
and welfare of the people of differ-
ent countries. is that some of these
have good government,
while some are badly governed.
Take the case of Mexico. You see
the difference between the United
States and Mexico the same day you
cross into Mexican territory. You
zee great evidence of poverty. a poor
equipment for agriculture and man
ragged children. and lit
lie social progress. All which con-
rasts tremendously with the level
f welfare in this country. A lead
ng reason for this difference is the
cry faulty government of Mexico. !
Whether our home states and :
tiles go ahead or remain stagnant, :,
to a large extent a question of .
Overnment If people want pro- :,
ress and human welfare. one would q
link they would go to the polls and h
)te for the parties and candidates =
no they think will do the most to
these ends. But many =,
them fail to do so. .,

Getting Daughter
Married

The newspaper joker tells how
the newly married man was asked if
the brides father was angry when
told that the youth had secretly
married his daughter. The reply
was mo, he nearly shook my arm
or"
There are many parents who are
keenly anxious to get their daugh-
ters married. So there are schemes
and stratagems to get them ac-
quainted with eligible youths. Such
a youth may get the feeling that he
is being pursued. which he doesn't
like. If he gets the impression that
he is being rounded up in some cor
ner from which he can't escape. he
has been known to jump some very
high fence.
Milford chronicle., 1940-09-20
Break For Older Men

Demands for skilled workers in
the defense industries are reported
to be leading to an increased de-
mand for the older. men. Where it
was once hard for men over 40 or As
to get job, now in certain skilled
trades they are taking on men up to
60 or even So. In time when it has
become necessary to train a great
body of men for skilled trades. the
older man who has had long exper-
fence looks pretty good. He may
not be as fast as some young fell
lows hnt at least the job of breaking
him in TO a new stunt is avoided to
large extent.
The world during recent years
has seemed to value speed more than
experience. In many automatic op-
erations, so little may be left to the
judgment of the worker. that it will
be claimed that speed, the ability to
turn out a large product day by day
for years. is the most desirable
thing.
Many modern mechanical opera
tions subdivide work so closely that
all. the operator has to do is to per-
form some little act, or brief series
Of acts, over and over again. The
speed and dexterity that can keep
performing those acts over and over
again has reduced production costs.
If man is going to do one little
hing over and over again for years,
peed may be the most important
hing. But if it is going to be desir-
BILE to change a worker around
rom one operation to something
lse, experience and Judgment would
count more. {
Anyway it seems a form of waste {
hen great body of elderly people, [
9th men and women, are dropped '
y industry as Improbable. If f
leans could be found to keep them c
II at work. a great increase would
e made in the production, wealth,
nd prosperity of the country. The t
lder folks should be given a break /
herever possible. 6

Scientific War

1t is terrible thing that so large
apart of the ingenuity of the human
race has to be given to inventions
the purpose of which is death and
destruction. If humanity had the
sense to take all the brains and
money thus employed, and use them
for progress in industrial and house
hold lines, what a marvellous gain
the tribe of men would accomplish.
But the world is as it is. The
most immediate need is for the
countries that believe in peace to
show such scientific ingenuity in
war that the war makers will be
convinced that they have been
working on an improbable plan.
The World war saw amazing re-
suits in submarine warfare. Sub
marines were used on a large scale |
as early as 1901. but their tremend-
Gus results in destroying commerce
in the World war amazed the world. |
Today we have new and astonish-
ing things in the war in Europe.
Perhaps the most amazing side of it
is the extent to which aerial warfare I
takes the place of infantry combat.
The armies Of Germany and Britain
for three months have had little to
do except to prepare for future COM
bat when and if Germany tries to
land a force in England. For three
months the war has been principally
in the air. though commerce destroy
ing submarines still carry on their
deadly work.
Formerly wars were won by shoot
ing down the soldiers in the trench
es opposite. Now the idea is to win
them by destroying factories, air
fields, railroad lines, docks and all
equipment necessary for the new
types Of war. And it seems to be
coming to the point where by bomb
ing cities. the aerial warriors hope
to produce a terror leading to sur
render.
Will the United States keep up to
the new styles Of warfare. and be
ready to meet them? AS airplanes
travel farther and farther, with
their loads of death. the wide oceans
are no longer a sufficient protec-
tion.

A ROLLING STONE is said to
gather no moss. This proverb ex-
presses the wise old philosophy that
people who are constantly changing
from one thing to the next do not
accomplish any great results. Also
when the dollar rolls out of town to
be spent somewhere else. the home
town gathers no added prosperity.
IF PEOPLE are bothered by the
food Of bills they get It would help
some to pay up their old accounts.

Successful Schools

Now that the school year is be-
ginning, people ask what they can dc
to get the best possible results out
OF the superb educational system
they have created. In physical
equipment and training and COM
petence of teaching force, no coun-
try has anything that can come
anywhere near equalling that sys-
tenn.
The old saying has it that you can
lead a horse to water, but you can't
make it drink. So we lead the youth
of America up to the educational
water of our school system, and ask
them to drink. The great majority
will do so readily. There may be
some who won't. The degree of CO.
opreation offered by the families of
the pupils is an important factor.
Back in the Little Red School
house of former days. the children
used often to point their fingers at
some kid, and deride him as teach
er's pet" That kid was usually a
good boy or girl. who learned the
lessons and obeyed the rules. You
can't wonder if a teacher will show
favors to one who is so helpful. The
children who jeered at the teachers
pet" should have made themselves
worthy of equal favor.
Today there are in some schools
children who claim they are discrim-
mated against. What usually has
happened is that they have failed to
learn their lessons, hence don't get
good marks. Such children often
become unruly. Then If the teacher
corrects them. they are apt to run
home and put up a fuss.
Parents should beware how they
eccept all such child says. They
llaaatt11azszB Baz4azEaaztaaaher or
school authorities. and find where
the hitch lies. If they will tell the {
kid that he would better play the
school game. and do what is ex-
tected of him. they will do their 6
share to create a successful school. e
