The Home Store Show

From shows like the Worlds
fairs that open from time to time,
down to the smallest cattle show in
some remote center. people like to
go to exhibits of commercial pro-
ducts, 1t is a pleasure to see the
convenient. labor saving, and beau
tiful things that modern ingenuity
has created.
You can see a very fine example
of such show, just by visiting
the stores of Milford in this Christ
mas season. They have all the ia
cilities to give our people all they
need for gifts and winter supplies.
They get their goods from the most
reliable, stylish and up-to-date pro-
ducers, and if there is anything
that you want that they can't give
you, we don't know what it is.

The Christmas Message

Peace on earth, good will to
men" was the message which the
angels sung to announce the birth
of Jesus Christ, according to the
old Christmas story. Whether one
regards that lovely narrative as lit
eral history. or merely poetic
vision, the birth of Jesus brought
to earth the glorious personality
whom all Christian lands rever-
ence as their Savior. The first
effort Of his life was to spread the
gospel Of peace and good will.
This warning world needs such
a message more than anything else.
If the men who sway the destinies
of the warlike nations would listen
to that message, the world would
sing the Christmas songs more
jubilantly than ever before, and
the dreadful burdens that crush
humanity to the dust would be
lifted from our backs.
We can at least worship before
the affairs dedicated to the memory
of this Savior. and pray that his
loving heart may influence cruel
men. The power of his love has
before this broken down great em-
pires, and mighty kings have had
to yield before his spiritual pres
ence.
Let us observe Christmas day
with confident hope that the spirit
of Jesus will finally conquer the
warmakers. When we give gener-
Jus gifts to the children, to our
friends, and the poor and needy, we
help to promote the spirit of love
which some day will overcome
hate.
Every home where Christmas is
observed with true gratitude, every
church where men and women bow
before the God of their fathers,
and the Savior who gave his life
for humanity, is a'center of healing
and inspiring influences. Hate is
self defeating, and warning ma
tions destroy themselves, but the
Christmas spirit lives on forever.

Newspaper Functions


A local newspaper should have
three main functions In view. First
to report the news, fully and ac-
curately. Second, to tell what the
news means. and offer helpful sug-
gestions about public affairs and
personal interests. Third, to work
for progress and development OF
the home town, the home state,
and the whole country.
The work Of reporting the news
is the basic function of the news
paper. People often say that news
papers are always making mis-
takes and they never get things
right. One reason for this idea Is
that the newspapers errors are
printed in black type and every
body sees them and laughs at
them. If man makes a mistake
in his business relations. only a
few people usually know anything
about it. If the newspaper mis-
takes were compared with the mis-
takes people make in their work
ing and home life. the newspaper
should show a higher degree Of
accuracy.
The American people love dis
cussion. From the day Of the old
grocery parliaments they like to
get together and talk over all pend
ing questions. The editor who can
offer useful suggestions about
home town life, who can tell people
how they can lift the clouds that
darken their lives. and remove the
stones and the ruts over which
they struggle in life's rocky path
way, will never lack an audience. |
Did you ever know newspaper !
publisher or editor who was not
an enthusiastic booster for his
home town? We never knew such |
a critter. You may say there is
personal interest in that activity.
Of course a newspaper mans
bread and butter depends on the
prosperity of his home town, but
there is more than that in it.
He hammers his typewriter un-
i'll his fingers are tired, he talks to
people until his throat is hoarse,
le chases news until his legs ache,
n the same spirit with which the
'ootbaIl player plunges through
he line until the breath is gone
,ut of his body. The above thoughts
express to some extent the ideals
# the Milford Chronicle. If anyone
AN suggest means by which we
an do any more for Milford, we Z
will receive him with open arms.

Germans Running?

The astonishing news came out
of Russia some days ago that the
Germans were actually running
away. So far the running in this
war has been done by the foes of
Germany. The Nazis have some
times had to run fast to keep up
with these fugitives.
The world always sympathizes
with the under-dog. The Nazis
have been top dog so long, that
there is satisfaction when they
have to do a little running them
selves, not to speak of the many
and great reasons why they should
keep on running indefinitely. The
world will breathe easier, if they
finally keep on running until they
reach their own boundaries.

old Santa

Some parents worry about the
ancient Santa Claus legend, and
fear that il they tell the kids that
sweet old story the youngsters will
come to feel later that their par
ents did not tell them the truth.
The children learn earlier than
their parents suspect that Santa
is merely Pop dressed up in a red
coat and whiskers. They have to
learn that many things in life are
not to. be- taken literally Santa
and his reindeer are too beautiful
a tale to be thrown out the window.
The old, Greeks and Romans made
their countries powerful by legends
about their old hero warriors,
which made the pepple emulate
those brave men. The Santa Claus
story seeks to make the young peo-
pie kind By exaiting the old saint
who gives things to good children.

National Unity

Our nation up to now has been
seriously divided on war policies.
When the Japanese give US an OBJ
ject lesson Of the violence and bru-
tality of Axis hate, the American
people rush to the support of their
government,
Political differences end at the
waters edge. When sailors and
sailors of our armed forces are
swept to death as martyrs in their
country's defense, differences of
opinion vanish, and the American
people rise in the majesty of their
power, and say that nations that
have no sense of justice have to be
met with the only kind of argu-
ment they can appreciate. The
swift rea ction of the United States
congress, in its prompt declaration
Of war against Japan, is Americas
reply to the warmakers who plague
the world.

Uncle Sam Needs Your
Books

The United Service organizations
are promoting nationwide cam
paign to obtain 100000 books for
the use of the United States armed
forces. Those boys need those
spare books which no one in your
home will ever read again, and
which you have to dust every few
weeks. Think of the sailor boy
tossing on the deep blue sea far
out in the stormy Atlantic, and of
the dullness OF his hours of rest if
he has no books to read A good
novel would cheer him on, and
work of history would help him to
become more enthusiastic and pa
triotic American. The boys in the
army camps have many unoccu-
pied hours. Without books, this
time may be wasted, or passed in
dismal reflection. With good books
1t is a time of growth and en-
largement.

Shrine of Liberty

Fourteen years ago. the late
sculptor, Gutzon Gorglum, began
the noble project in the Black Hills
of South Dakota, of carving the
faces of four great Americans on
the majestic cliffs of Mount Rush
more. Now the work is completed.
The faces of George Washington,
Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lin
coin, and Theodore Roosevelt will
now stand to the end of time. as
expressions in stone of the ideals
and hopes of America.
Succeeding races of men will
gaze at those faces. AS those old
heroes look out on a stormy world,
they say to the folly and cruelty of
man, that the remedy for all ma
tional ills is found in our glorious
constitution and principles Of free
dom.
Milford chronicle., 1941-12-19
The Rush To The Colors

Great increases in recruiting for
the armed forces of the nation are
: reported. Some stations note 10
: to 20 times as many as usual Par
ents tell of quite young boys who
are eager to join the forces, and
share the danger and acquire the
glory of the soldier.
Lessons of patriotism taught to
our young people have not been
wasted. There has been talk about
lack of enthusiasm among some
of the drafted men. Probably the
main cause of any such lack was
the fact that the war seemed long
distancy away, well across two
great oceans. Also it is hard to
create enthusiasm for military
preparation when there is a lack
of needed weapons with which to
train.
The American people were ter
ribly slow in providing such wea-
pons. They allowed the war clouds
to grow blacker and blacker, and
for years did very little about it.
When the storm breaks on us, and
the lightnings flash their death,
and thunder Of guns is heard, our
people regret their lack of fore
sight.
1t is an anxious day for parents
when their boy says he wants to
enlist for war. They say that in
many cases it is due to mere desire
of youth for adventure, the wish
for new scenes and exciting exper-
iences 1t is fortunate for the ma
tion that youth has this superb
courage, that can treat danger with
such a contemptuous smile.
The wave Of anger that spread
over the land when Japan made its
stealthy attack, stirred the coun-
try to its very depths. Countless
men, both old and young, have
said they would like to shoulder
gun and teach those people les
son they will remember. Countless
young men of eager and impetuous
nature share that feeling. 1t was
that eagerness and defiance that
made Germany turn and run in
1918. 1t will do the same thing to
Japan.

Christmas


The cloud OF war rests like dark
shadow over our land. But let us
turn away from the somber picture
to the brightness Of Christmas
day, and forget our fears and sor-
rows.
The world was turned upside
down by the coming OF Jesus. The
vast Roman empire which covered
such parts Of the earth as were
then known, had to yield before the
power Of the Christmas spirit. So
his faith will go on and on, win
ming over the evil natures of men.
Christmas should fill the heart
with hope and Joy, even in dark
days. The merry laughter of chill
dren, as their eyes pop out when
they see sparkling and brilliant
tree, should make us ali feel young
again. Pa and Ma and Grandpa
and Grandma can well dance
around the tree.
Christmas is glorious occasion,
because it sets itself against the
general selfshness Of mankind. In
this life Of struggle and competi-
tion, with people pushing for their
own advancement and pleasure.
Christmas tells us to spread happi-
ness.
People get more pleasure from
giving others nice presents that
satisfy needs and longings, than
they ever do in spending money on
their own pleasures II only the
Christmas spirit could last over
longer period. and convince people
that they should keep giving, par
ticuiarly to those who need their
generosity, the life SO devoted to
kindness would be far happier.
The Christmas picture is one of
he most beautiful things in life.
The green tree which tells Of the
shimmering forest from which it
came. the bright lights which tell
is how Christ came to tighten our
darkness, the carols in the church
IS and on the streets, set forth the ]
happiness which, Jesus tried to
,ring to the world, These are fore
astes Of celestial life where
here shall be no more war, and
orrow and signing shall be done
way.

Peaceful Nation At war

The American people have al
ways been a peace-loving nation
They hate to fight. They are con-
vlnced that war is humanity's most
stupendous folly. Their aversion
to war has perhaps given the world
the misleading impression that
they would never again fight.
When a peaceful man is at
tackled by some bully or gangster,
he is apt to fight even harder than
one Of more aggressive character.
The peaceful mans sense of JUS
tice is SO shocked, he feels the
outrage against his rights with
such intense anger, that his indig-
nation gives him a double power.
The bullies and gangsters have
often had unpleasant surprises.
Our people long ago proved their
love for peace. Many of their an
cestors left Europe because they
considered 1t too warlike. The
fact that wars have been very ex-
ceptional on the American conti-
nent, while Europe has been fight
ing at more or less regular inter-
walls, proves that America stands
for peace.
There are limits to the outrages
which our people will stand. When
they see a nation which claimed to
want peace descend on us with the
sickening horror of modern war,
and rain bombs on our ships and
men and cities, then the time has
come to see that such things shall
stop. Our people can't be blamed
for the aid they have given their
Chinese friends and allies, who
have dared to resist these tyrants
and warmakers.
So the Japanese have orrogantly
set themselves up as the bosses of
Asia. They have attacked this
country in one of the most treach-
srous assaults ever made in his
.ory. No doubt can be felt as to the
iuty of the United States. Our peo-
pie will loyalty support their gov
srnment in the declaration of war
which congress has passed.

The Songs Of Christmas

There Is a great library Of music
inciuded in the songs known as
Christmas carols. Back centuries
ago people Of all types used to
gather in churches. on the streets,
and in homes, to sing these sweet
songs. They breathe an atmosphere
of hope and faith, and tell JUS that
above a dreary and warning world,
the angels are singing a song of
hope for humanity, and that out of
the darkness of the storm and the
wickedkgss Of men. shall eventual
ly be born a better world.
These. carols have come echoing
down the centuries, because people
loved them and never gave UP sing
ing them. They sparkle with Christ
mas happiness. and the stars loo
brighter and the clouds seem less
thick, when these happy chants
float Through the wintry air

Our Watchdogs Don't Sleep

The United States government
has sent a unit of armed forces to
Dutch Guiana in South America.
This tropical land contains extreme
valuable deposits of bauxite, need
ed IN the production of airplanes.
If Adolf Hitler was not up to his
neck in fighting Russia and Libya,
he might have reached out to con-
troll this territory, which he could
use in his business.
The United States 116 years ago
set up No Trespass signs all over
North and South America, which
told European nations to keep off
the grass. In the present chaotic
world, some Of them might decide
they wanted that airplane material.
They would find some powerful
watchdogs, who never sleep at
night. on those premises now.

Gen. Winter Wins a Victory

The German Nazis were going
through Russia in about a month
or two. At least they seemed to
think SO themselveay and many OBJ
servers agreed with them. Two
months ago Adolf Hitler thought
the power OF the Russian armies
was broken. The Nazis have been
able to lick the Russians to a linn
tied extent, but old Gen. Winter
has taken crack at them, and he
freezes the oil in their motors and
covers them with his drifting
snow.
So they have apparently given
up their attempt to capture Mos
COW this winter, and will wait until
spring. The Germans used to be-
lfeve that everything their adored
fuehrer said was so, but apparent
ly he had not figured on the power
of Gen. Winters infnite army of
snowfiakes.
