to that great metropolis afforded
much enjoyment and was a great
break in the routine of school life
and added much to the pleasure of
living. We never tired of the hiking
trips in the late afternoons and on
Saturdays over the beautiful hill coun

Ridge Mountains. We were remind

Northern New Jersey is rich in
Colonial history and became stamp
ing ground for the troops engaged
in the Revolutionary War. One
prominent spot was "Fort Nonsense"
an unsuccessful relic of the Revolu-
tionary War, built by Washington's
troops, on a mountain in Morris
County. Nearby is located large
colonial mansion, used as his head
quarters by George Washington in
1778-79. This house is owned by an
association and for a long period of
years has been maintained as mus
cum and show place and is furnished
throughout with colonial furniture
and many relics of the Revolutionary
period and it is a most interesting
place to visit.
Like all good events, the school
year in New Jersey came to an end
on June 18th. After the commence
ment exercises were held and good
byes had been exchanged and the
summer vacation was beginning, re-
turned to my native county to spend
the next three months at my boy
hood home to enjoy the pleasures of
life in section combining the adj
vantages of both town and country
weeks in which the mind might be
freed from the distracting problems
of the future. The world at that time
was peacefully pursuing the even ten
or of it's way. At that time the whole
world seemed to be at peace and
no uncertainties that are brought a.
bout by war were present to perplex
the minds of the peaceful inhabitants
of the town and countryside.

FIRE FINISHES THE
JOB AT NEGRO SCHOOL

Princess Anne firemen were called
into service last week by blaze OF
unknown origin, which completely de-
stroyed the ruins of the old admins
tration building at the Princess Anne
Colored College, which was partially
burned on March 31st when six per-
sons lost their lives.
Firemen responded with both en-
gines and 81 men and while unable to
save any part of the burned struc-
ture, they left crew of men and one
of the engines to guard against any
spread of the conglagration to other
campus buildings.
While it was generally reported
that the blaze probably resulted from
the smouldering cotton stored in the
ruined structure, Chief Raymond M.
Carey stated that the origin of the
fire was unknown and that a careful
investigation was being made.
Chief Carey pointed out that the
first fire occurred on March 31st, 18
days preceding, and while a large a.
mount of bailed cotton was stored in
the building, which smouldered for a
week after the holocaust, it had been
finally and completely subdued nearly
two weeks ago.

How Obtain Popularity?

There is an almost universal de-
sire to be popular. People like to
feel they have many friends. Many
of them feel badly because they
have not made any larger place in
the life of their home town. Young
folks, in particular, often ask how
they can become more popular.
One of the sure ways of becom-
ing popular, is TO do the things for
the public good that people want
done. In schools and colleges the
boys and girls who do the work
Of managing the student enter
prises and activities find them
selves popular. AS they grow up,
and take time to serve on commit
tees, and do the tedious detail work
of getting up suppers and running
and rehearsing for
shows, they find popularity has
come to them. They make host of
friends and everybody likes them.

war Tends To Spread

War is like fire, it naturally
spreads. When war broke out in
Europe, many of our best people
believed the United States should
remain absolutely neutral. 1t is
quite possible that if they had
avoided giving any aid to Britain,
Russia, or China, they could have
remained wholly out of the present
war.
Our people are not accustomed
to be neutral. They are folks with
strong sympathies. When they see
wrongs done, they have desire to
do something about it.
They feared that If they did not
help the democratic nations in
their desperate struggle for exist
ence, these countries would be
overwhelmed. So they have extend
ed generous aid, and the result is
that thousands lie dead and wound
ed in Hawaii and elsewhere, with
naval, units badly damaged. All
these controversies over aiding the
nations have passed.
We have been attacked ourselves.
and when Uncle Sam is attacked,
the people who did it would better
watch out.
Milford chronicle., 1941-12-19
Personal Freedom

American freedom. which our
people SO cherish. is not merely
the freedom OF religion. freedom
of speech and OF the press, which
are fundamental principles Of our
government. It is also the free
dom of people to control their per-
sonal lives.
Totalitarian governments claim
to be more efficient. They get their
efficiency by repressing individual
choices. Not merely do people
have to shut their mouths, but they
have to accept the work and pay
the government permits them to
have. Labor unions and strikes
could not be permitted under such
government, as they would throw
monkey wrenches into the govern
ment program.
People claim Communistic or
Socialistic government would be
superior in one respect, that it
would provide employment for all
the people. If it did so, it would
have to order people to live and
work where the government want
ed them to. If there was surplus
of dishwashers in New York City,
and shortage of candy pullers in
Los Angeles, the government would
be likely to tell some of those sur
plus dishwashers to pull up stakes
and go out and take the candy
pullers' jobs. Even If it was better
for them to do so, those surplus
workers might not like to be moved
around that way. People usually
want to live where they want to,
and do the kind of work they are
accustomed to.
1t is possible that our country
has gone too far in leaving people
free to do things that disrupt our
machinery. You can't
win a war with an army that can
10 just as it wants to, and perhaps
he battle against poverty and un-
employment can't be won with ev-
srybody wholly free to act without
regard to the public good. Our
people are very wary about en-
on personal freedom,
ind they resent anything that in I
erferes with their liberty. Il

Lands of Hunger

In the United States the surplus
of farm products came near being
the nations No. headache for
years. Elaborate schemes had to
be devised to keep the farmers
from creating grief by raising ex-
cessive amounts of foods.
The lean and hungry people Of
Europe, pathetically grasping for
the last morsel of food, can not
understand what it is to live in
such a land of milk and honey, to
use Bible language. In many coun-
tries they live largely by ration
cards. If they have eaten more
than their poor and limited share,
they just have to go without for
days. They would rejoice if they
could have the eating Of the gar
bage pals Of America. This misery
and semi-starvation may produce
multitudes of enfeebled people. 1t
has resulted because a few men
got the idea that the world could
be ruled by death dealing tanks
and bombing airplanes.
Milford chronicle., 1941-12-19
Fighting Mad

The American people were prob
ably never quite so fighting mad as
they are at this moment The
cruel, savage, and unprovoked at
tack made on their naval ships and
bases and civilian populations in
Pacific ocean possessions, has pro-
duced a horrible casualty list,
which may run into the thousands.
Our people are simply appalled, by
the ferocity and diabolical hate
which could inspire such an as
sault.
1t was made after extended pre-
paration, at a time when the Japan
ese government claimed to be seek
ing peace with the United States.
With yellow treachery Japan tried
to blind our eyes until it was
ready to strike.
If this attack was inspired by
Adolf Hitler, as seems probable, he
may think this sudden assault may
lead the United States to let up on
it shipment Of war supplies to the
Anti-Axis powers. The result win
be quite different. A nation SO
fighting mad will demand that
every bit of its strength be used to
stop such outrages.

Telling The World

There is slang phrase which
speaks about telling the world .
1t expresses the thought that to
make an impression on the world,
you have to tala about, the facts or
ideas in which you are interested.
We all have to do considerable
telling the world to get anywhere.
Advertising is a most effective
form of telling the world. If you
don't tell the world about your
goods, how are they going to know
they are specially desirable? With
out such telling, countless con-
Germs that were capable of success
have Jared poorly or gone under.
They were in position to please the
people, but the world was not told
the merits of their services and
offerings.
Milford chronicle., 1941-12-19
Christianity's PERL

The Roman Catholic bishops OF
the United States have issued a
warning against Nazism, Commun-
ism, materialism, and paganism. In
this appeal the adherents Of all
religious faiths will join. Great
powers have risenroin the world
which seek to abandon the worship
Of God, and substitute absolute
submission to governments created
by human leaders, subject to all
the errors of our faulty human ma
ture. In our own country it would
seem as if many of the people wor-
shipped only power and material
success.
Ages of religious faith have al
ways been. ages of progress. Our
country was settled largely by peo-
pie who came to America to obtain
freedom of religion, and they built
up institutions based on belief in
God and principles of honor, JUS
tice, peaceful living, and the rights
of the individual citizen. 1t is a
national calamity that such beliefs
lose their hold.
