Cupid And His Hearts

One of the typical illustrations
seen on the valentines sent to dear
friends on February IA, consists of
little Cupid, who is drawn as having
shot the arrow which pierced two
hearts thus linked in one. Though
the hearts are wounded by the sem
timental shaft, they do not wish to
tear themselves apart, and one may
hope they are forever Joined.
Cupid has his tragedies as we'll
as his victories, and his arrow may
pierce completely through one heart,
while the adored object of this emo
ton is scarcely dented. Love is said
to be blind and it seems sometimes
as if Cupid had very poor aim. If
he is going to severely wound one
heart, without hitting the second
one also, he would better take a few
lessons in craftsmanship.
The human race could not get
along without Cupid, but it some
times seems as if he needed more
regulating.
Milford chronicle., 1941-02-14
The Confident Attitude

The adult world does not always
realize how keenly the young peo-
pie feel their troubles. Youth is apt
to present a surface appearance of
hope. when the youngsters under the
skin feel worried and baffled.
The director of the, Harvard Uni
versity hygiene department recently
said that failure of students to reach
their desired goals, or establish
pleasant personal relations, is at the
bottom oflmany student health prob
lens. This is true not merely of
young pe0plein cof4sge, bift.cfthose
in all schools.
Many young people worry be-
cause they think they are not popu-
lar. They perhaps lack some social
gifts, and can not let themselves go
in jolly comradeship, so that they
appear aloof and reserved.
The boys may lack the assertiye-
ness to take part in sports. The
girls may not have the quality of 'it''
or 'oomph" by which they can at
tract boys and obtain dates" Some
students worry about their studies,
with unfavorable effects on their
health.
1t takes confidence and courage
for young people to take the place
in life to which their abilities entitle
them. Many of them are afraid of
getting laughed at, so they shrink
into their shells. Some form of en-
couragement is needed to bring them
out, and show them what they can
do.
This lack of ability to fit into the
world and do the work that one is
capable of doing is not limited to
students. Many people suffer all
their lives from these traits. These
folks should have less fear of fail
ure. 1t is said of a very brilliant
young woman, that she believes she
can do thing until it is proved she
can't. Too many people believe they
can't do thing until it is proved
they can. We should all cultivate
the former confident attitude.
Milford chronicle., 1941-02-14
Air Raid Protection

The American people seem so safe
behind their vast oceans, that they
have given but few thoughts to the
possible need of protection against
air raids. Now the United States
conference of mayors has asked for
help from the government to organ
ize protection against this possible
peril.
With airplanes travelling longer
distances each year, and with hos
tile planes turning great European
cities into hells of torment, death,
and destruction, where people have
to sleep in cold underground shell
ters, the American people would
better think about this possible dan
ger from the skies. The woes of
war may be nearer than we think.
Milford chronicle., 1941-02-14
OPPORTUNITY UNLIMITED

Those who forecast that the wolf
ish" chain stores would drive the
''defenseless" Independent stores out
of business, should be blusling these
days, for, all during the '3O's, there
was no increase in proportion of
total retail business done by the
chains.
In survey of merchandising dur
ing 1910, John P. Nichols, Managing
Director of the Institute of Distri-
button. estimates that chain stores
did 20 per cent of all business,
house-to-house and other minor SELL
ing methods did 5 per cent, and the
independents did rs per cent, an in
crease of 2 per cent in five years.
Mr.. Nichols pays tribute to the
Independent store when he observes,
"The modern chain store received the
keenest sort of competition from in
dividually-owned retailers" The typ
ical one-store operator in this coun-
try isn't the Incompetent that the
hackers of anti-chain store legisla-
ton seem to think. He doesn't fold
up when competition appears, and go
on relief. Instead, he looks into his
competitors methods of doing busi-
ness, and if he finds anything new
and novel he adapts it to his own
uses. Then he thinks up some more
innovations of his own. He finds new
ways to cut costs, to lower prices, to
improve quality, to better service.
He does more advertising, and he in
stalls better equipment and fixtures.
And the customers come fiocking in.
For the one-store operator, or the
chain store operator who knows his
job, is adequately financed, and is
honestly eager to serve his patrons
well, opportunity today is unlimited.
Progressive merchants are proving
this daily.
Milford chronicle., 1941-02-14
Victories Needed

The popular idea of victory is a
military triumph over feared OF
hated foe. Pope Plus. head of the
Roman Catholic Church, has diff
ferent idea, according to- a recent
statement by one of his cardinals.
Among the victories which he
feels are needed are the victory over
hatred and suspicion, the victory
over the idea that force can make
law, and the victory of the spirit
iover selfishness. Selfishness is the
root cause of wars, and as long as
differentirpeeple andqddiffersnt, ma
tions grasp and strive for their own
advantage alone, there is little
prospect of either international or
industrial peace.
If these victories could be accom-
plished, the United States would
not need to spend billions ON de-
fensey and the fighting powers could
make peace with confidence that it
would last. Solomon, ancient King
of Israel, said in one of his pro-
verbs, that "he that ruleth his spirit
is better than he that taketh a CITY,"
1t is still true.
Milford chronicle., 1941-02-14
Penny Wisdom

There is an old saying about be-
ing penny wise and pound foolish.
The idea is that people often scrape
so hard to save the little coins, that
they let their larger interests suf-
fer, and thereby waste dollars
through such parsimony.
That applies to conditions in the
home town, and to peoples own
dwellings. If people neglect some
needed improvement on their homes
or the property of the town, that
could be had for a moderate outlay
the individual or the community may
suffer so severely that people are
worse off. 1t does not pay to refuse
improvements essential to the well
fare of a home or a city.
Milford chronicle., 1941-02-14
Vast Reserve Of Fuel

If any of us are worrying about
possible shortages of fuel in this
country, such ones might reflect
that there are said to be nearly
$4,000, 100000 tons of peat available.
A recent news note tells of great
peat bog which has been developed
near Newark, Ohio, which is being
exploited with the use of new ma
chimes for drying this fuel.
Peat is formed by the partial de-
cay of vegetable matter in certain
boggy places. 1t is used extensively
in Europe. In former years it was
considerably used in this country
for fuel, and it has been extensively
used as fertilizer. 1t is one more
of the vast supply of resources with
which the Creator endowed this
country, and made 1t secure from
want for ages to come.
Milford chronicle., 1941-02-14
Modern Distribution

Modern distribution is keyed up
to fast pace. The old time mer-
chant might carry goods in stock
for years, and usually they were of
standard variety so that he could
in time sell them. In these times
peoples tastes and ideas change
rapidly. If articles are not sold
promptly there is danger that they
may so depreciate in sale value
that they are finally sold at a great
sacrifice.
Modern distribution systems rely
on advertising to reduce such losses
By giving publicity to the articles
which store is featuring, they can
be worked off promptly. If a seem
ingly unstable remnant remains,
some special sale well advertised
will clean it up. Thus the great
losses which used to burden busi-
ness in former years are avoided.
Milford chronicle., 1941-02-14
Using Pay Raises

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt has
suggested that everyone getting a
pay raise as the result of the defense
program should lend the additional
amount to the government. That
seems an excellent suggestion. Not
long ago people were being exhort-
ed to spend their money freely so
as to start up business. Now there
is danger that people will spend
so freely as to create shortages in
many lines, which would tend to
raise the cost of living.
If the general level Of prices goes
up, "the fat will be in the fire." to
use a homely old phrase. Many peo-
pie are going to be able to spend
more money. They should show
good judgment to invest that money
or good part of it in government
bonds.

Sobering Them Up

A newspaper joker has one about
the sportive gent who told the wait
er he had been drinking cocktails for
three hours, and he asked for some
thing to sober him UP. Said the
waiter: "Yes sir, 1 have your bill
right here"
1t does have sobering effect on
many people to learn what they have
to pay for their high jinks.. That
applies not merely to over indulgence
in liquor, but to people who go in
for any kind of excesses. Many
folks go in for good times so en-
Enthusiastically that they forget how
the money is dropping away from
them. A frequent sight of the bill
should induce them to hit the home
trail at an earlier hour or date.
Also it is an excellent thing for
people to keep a strict cash account
If they could realize how the money
they thought they were going to
save has all slipped out of their
hands, they would decide to budget
their spending and keep solvent.
