More Applause Needed

If an audience fails to applaud
the speakers and entertainers who
appear before it, it is quite dis.
couraging to these orators or ar
lists. 1t takes the heart'out of any
body to try to do something in pub
lie. and receive only a cold recep-
tion.
So the people VINO try to do things
for their home town and its organ
izations should be given hearty ap-
plause. People should express warm
appreciation of the efforts they
make and the time they give. Such
words of praise give such folks the
courage and the ambition to keep on
doing things for the home COM
munity. The town where public
spirit meets with a warm reception
is sure to go ahead.
Milford chronicle., 1941-03-14
Function Of a Husband

A joke is going around about the
lady who advertised for a man to do
odd jobs and run errands. She
wanted one who never answers back.
and always does her bidding. The
seeker for work told her that what
she wanted was not a Servant but a
husband.
That type of husband used to be
referred to as 'henpecked". In
these times when the women have
gained more confidence by going out
in the world and earping their own
living. there are perhapsTss many
henpecked men as formerly. It is q
rather dangerous thing for the lady
to adopt that masterful policy. There
are too many sympathetic maidens
around who love to hear some mar
ried man pour his troubles into their
ears.
What is needed in married life is
that each one take an attitude of ut
most sympathy and respect for the
mate. It has become relatively easy
to walk out on a wife or husband.
and married couples should have
care about how they encourage
movements to the door.
Milford chronicle., 1941-03-14
Getting a Better lob

One of the favofite amusements
of the American people is changing
around in the hopes of getting a
better job. Perhaps they have not
done it so often during recent years.
There has been a tendency to be
thankful for any regular work.
Many folks who loafed for several
months are not SO sussy as they
used to be. They don't so often quit
because some foreman talked to
them out of the wrong corner of his
mouth.
There are countless people who
took jobs through the depression
that were not what they wanted, or
what they prepared for. and they
are naturally looking for better
chance. The typical American al
ways thinks there is something bet
ter farther on. something hid be-
hind his limited horizon, if he can
climb the hill that shuts off his view.
He should be careful that he isn't
simply hunting for the pot of gold
at the end of the rainbow.
Many people change their jobs out
of mere restlessness. They are not
quite willing to do what the world
wants done. They feel their pay is
low, but they may fail to recognize
that they have not yet developed the
ability to earn high pay.
If a person is ambitious, he is we'll
justified in looking for a better job.
Only he should look out that he is
really changing for the better.
Sometimes he gives no chances of
advancement right where he is, and
instead has to start in learning new
ways of doing work, and is not as
well of as before.
If a person contemplates such a
change, he would better try to do
some studying or get some kind of
practice, which viii enable him to do
better in a new job than he ever did
in the old one. That may mean
working evenings for a time to fit
himself for the new job. The per-
son who is not willing to do some
extra work, to make his services
more salable, will not probably go
very far.

Milford, Friday, March IA, 1871
The Choice of Occupation

Probably many of the young peo-
pie who will get through school and
college next June or earlier, have
not yet decided what kind of occu-
patton they want to enter. Many OF
them will say they can't see that
they have any particular aptitude
for anything.
Some parents get strong idea
that they want to see their boys and
girls enter a certain line of work.
They urge them to become teachers
or business people or something
else. The boy or girl may have no
aptitude for the vocation thus favor
ed. Don't try to crowd the kid into
a path from which he seems to
shrink.
Some of these youngsters have had
such a grand time playing the game
of youth, with all the fun that goes
with young life today. that they
have neglected this idea of getting
ready for work. They have the hap
py feeling that something will turn
up. Meanwhile they kick their foot
balls or bat their baseballs, or dance
the hours away, and they still don't
know what comes next.
Perhaps some of the young ladies,
reading the eye of sentiment, think
they know. They see some snug lit
tile apartment or cottage Of which
they hope to be queen. If so, they
need to be sure how to run the
cookstove, and spend the house
money.
Young people in school and col
lege should make experiments to see
how they get along in certain lines
Of work. Let them take summer jobs
in stores If they can get them, or go
out on the farms and pitch hay, OF
handle a machine in some factory
Then they will probably know what
they like. Then they can shape
their studies to fit them to enter
the wide world, not as wholly green
Eoyices, but as promising beginners
Milford chronicle., 1941-03-14
High Tide Of Church Suppers


About now, as the old almanacs
used to say. look out for church
suppers. The past month has seen
the high tide of such glorifications
and there will be more to come be-
fore summer.
Perhaps there is no more distlnc-
tive function in American life. If a
Britisher or Frenchman wanted to
know how our people act and feel
you could give him good idea by
taking him to any church supper.
The American people always like
to get something for nothing. That
is not exactly descriptive of the
financial basis of church supper,
because people have to pay some
thing, but they get more than they
pay for. They get meal at a church
supper which is worth considerably
more than the price, reckoning on
the materials and labor which it
takes to produce the same
Some may ask why the churches
continue to carry on an institution
which is not precisely on a business
basis. The answer is that the
church supper has values apart from
money. Meeting around the COM
mon table, eating good food, the peo-
pie loosen up and become more so
Milford chronicle., 1941-03-14

ciaI. The reticent or bashful person
suddenly finds he can talk freely
The neighbors who ordinarily ex.
change only formal nod. suddenly
find themselves talking and laugh
ing like old friends. There is a
kind of release from the restraints
of ordinary life. AS such release
always brings certain happiness
and elation. people have such a
good time that they come again and
again.
Also the Ladies Aid Society, or
whatever you may call the organiza-
ton, collects quite pot of money.
which it could not get if it sent a
solemn faced committee around with
subscription paper. So let us all
Murray for the church supper and
never miss one if we can help it.
Milford chronicle., 1941-03-14
Financial Worries

A joke is going around about the
man who was asked II the deceased
had any financial worries. The re-
ply was, "No. he was bankrupt.
Which suggests that people take one
of two attitudes about debts. Many
of them worry terribly about those
unpaid bills and loans. Debt seems
abhorrent to them. and they do not
feel they can breathe freely while
they owe money.
Then there are those who take
such obligations very lightly, and
who lie down and make no real ef-
fort to pay what they owe. 1t is poor
business lending money to such peo-
pie, or extending credit, as it does
not seem to occur to them that they
will have to pay some day. They
slip through life in happy failure
to realize that one has to pay his
own way through life in order to
satisfy ambition, and create worth
while living conditions.

dependent upon Germany for its
potash. Our people can well shake
hands with themselves. that they
have had the foresight to develop
their own domestic product. 1t

States had been equally foresighted

dustries whose products still come

Develop Our Resources

Before the World war, the United
States was mostly dependent for
potash on imports originating in
Germany. Now there is domestic
American potash industry. which it
is claimed will meet with all antici-
pated requirements of the near fu-
ture.
The United States would be in
quite hole today if it was still so

The preview, presented in the
form of a spring menu, began
with bathing suits of which two
stunning models were a Gantner

flared skirt.
Play suits followed, showing the
