Milford chronicle., 1941-06-06
Continued from Firs. Page,

This being an agricultural county,
the majority of those attending
were more interested in this phase
of the national defense program,
because 1t was stated that food is
an implement of war. just the same
as munitions. and such being the
case, 1t was thought that the farm
families of Sussex could do their
bit by helping to provide food for
those at home and help to supply
the food needs OF England.
The facts that were given by
those from the University who at
tended the meeting was information
that the extension committee on
defense information receives from
Washington. This information was
Of such a nature that 1t made all
fully realize that we are now in
the midst of a national crisis, and
that each one will have some spe-
cial Job or duty to perform. The
job of the farmer will be to pro-
duce an ample supply of food for
those who need 1t and the job of
industry will be to supply an ample
supply of defense weapons and mu-
nitions. No matter what the job
may be and no matter how small 1t
may be, by all working in harmony

Mrs. Peters was spending the af
ternoon with her intimate friend
Mrs. Ashton. AS the two worked
and chatted together, Mrs. Peters
sitting by the open window, noticed
a murmur of voices outside. Al
first she thought little about il as
suming that Ruth, Mrs. Ashton s
four-year-Old daughter, was play
ing there with other children.
Eventually, the monotonous tone,
so unlike that of happy, joyous
children at play, forced itself more
clearly upon her notice. She could
distinguish but one voice, and that
voice was saying at intervals.
Yes. Mother. Yes, Mother"
This aroused Mrs. Peters curl
Osity, and she leaned out the win
dow to see what was going on. She
discovered Ruth playing contented-
ly all alone, while she repeated au-
tomaucally, "Yes, Mother"
Knowing Mrs. Ashton and her
methods, the explanation was not
difficult to find. Mrs. Ashton was a
devoted mother, but the way she
expressed her devotion was often
unwise. She scarcely allowed the
little girl out of her sight, and
when with her, she rained a con-
slant patter of admonitions, eau
tiOns and gentle reproofs. most of
which were Unnecessary. In fact
the parental voice was scarcely
ever silent when mother and child
were together.
Ruth was SO accustomed to these
continuous admonitions that, hear
ing her mothers voice through the
open window, she subconsciously
assumed that the usual shower was
peltlng her. Although she evident
ly did not know at all what her
was saying, she took it for
granted that the remarks were
likely to be something that would
interfere with her personal free
dom. She did not wish to be inter
rupted in her play so she was pro-
tecting herself with the courteous,
"Yes, Mother" in this way putting
up a sheltering umbrella against a
shower of words.
1t is Just as true in addressing
children as grownups that one is
not needed merely because he is a
great talker The mother who al
laws herself to repeat, day after
day, admonitions, reproofs. or un-
necessary directions loses power
and authority at each repetition.
Everyone gets accustomed to
recurring sound. Live
long enough near the elevated. and
you will cease to mind its noise.

lays of Johnny and Jane, soon lose

CANDLES IN THE WIND by Al
Ian Knight Chalmers. Scribners
New York. 50. A distinctive book
by the worthy successor to Charles
E. Jefferson in the great pulpit OF
Broadway Tabernacle. New York,
The chapters aim at producing the
feeling of belief in "the true light
which lighteth every man that COM
eth into the world" The author
contends that Christianity is a
flame, and that candles in the wind
are not enough to light a "desper-
ately lost world" He gives a need
ed emphasis to passion in religion,
personal responsibility for things
as they are. and the divisive char
acter of the truth. He considers the
sources of power in the life of
Jesus, and the unacceptable idea Of
God. He comments helpfully on
mans freedom of choice and Wis
ion. There are strong declarations
of faith and hope in the pages that
deal with practical Christianity.
"This light of life, which Jesus
said we were, is not Times Fool.
Mans life on earth has value in
proportion to his hope for, his un-
derstanding of, his allegiance to
this motion of life (progress to-
ward the beloved community
which man has insight and will
enough to serve" Many readers
will appreciate the authors ac-
quaintanee with literature and
drama, and also his Illustrations
from both the Old and New Testa-
ments.
