NEW YORK, July 8. CUP)-The
hero of the hour, of course, is out
fielder Joe riMaggio of the New
York Yankees who set new major
league batting record by hitting
safely in his 45th consecutive game
yesterday. but spare a thought for
the deeds OF another outfielder,
Ted williams of the Boston Red

NEW YORK, July 3 (UP) -

Promoter Mike Jacobs took a
worse beating than Private BUNNY
Davis, VINO suffered a technical
Knockout in the 10th round after
blocking welterweight champion
Fritzie Ziyic's left jab with a
bloody schnozzola all evening.
Summed up, this scheduled 12-
round non-title bout was probably
the most complete fiasco in the
history of big time" outdoor New
York boxing.
The fight was a lop-sided dud,
and the surprisingly small gather
ing 1858 fans contributed a gate
of only $36.185 for the questionable
privilege of witnessing it.
Davis, who lost to Z,vic on a
second-round disqualification in
November after a tumultuous browl,
seemed to have left last nights

his nose or mouth. No better CATCH

leaped into the air and caught the
ball. There was an argument in the
press box about the nature of the
crime, but the official scorer ruled
it was grand larceny and not petty.
The next time DiMaggio came to
bat he tried to keep the ball away

One War Ended

One particularly sad and inglor-
ious war has come to an end, that
between Britain and the French
colony of Syria. It,seemed most
depressing event. when the British,
to keep Syria out of the hands OF
the Nazis, had to make war on
their former allies the French, and
that the French forces in control of
that province felt they had to fight,
and fight hard, against their for
mer friends.
1t would seem as If the French
government had forgotten all that
vast army of British soldiers who
lie buried in French soil, which
they had given their lives to de-
fend. Also the thousands OF Amer
lean soldiers who sleep under the
same sod, and who also gave their
lives in the effort to hold back the
Germans. 1t is one of the terrible
results of Nazi tyranny, that it so
frightens the people of conquered
lands that they turn their backs on
former friends.
Milford chronicle., 1941-08-01
Art of Getting Attention

The world is full of voices try
ing to get attention for their var
ious ideas. The politicians are
seeking to carry campaigns, the re-
formers wish to excite interest in
their ideas, the ministers call at
tention to religion. and so on. Any
individual, business, or institution
that just remains silent through
these appeals, will not probably
attract attention. He or 1t may be
very meritorious. but for lack Of
ability to attract attention may be
overlooked.
That is just what happens to
countless business concerns. They
may do very good work. and be run
honestly and faithfully, but be-
cause they had no good scheme for
attracting attention, they were left
in the background. People passed
them by and entered places that
adopted more energetic and en-
attitude. 1t is advertis-
ing that attracts attention.

Spending The Time

of some newspaper, being in quite

perfect item, in that they spent a
whole day but eanicsee no results
from it. The hogssFife may say
she toiled all day, but the home
looks just the same deand nothing
was accomplished, The worker or
the business mansniays say the day
was spent in trifiine tasks, with no
special results obssYSable. Let us
not be too pessimistic about such
things. If thsan RRoiB1sse&ife had not

More Prioritias Needed

The American people constantly
hear about priorities given to the
defense industries. They will dis
cover that they can't get all the
new things they want, owing to the
need for shipping essential mater
ials to the factories working on
defense jobs.
A leading clergyman recently
preached sermon which dwelt on
the necessity of priorities for reli-
gion. Most people cherish some
form of religion that influences
their conduct, but often it does not
get any priority. 1t is often about
the last thing considered when
some question of conduct comes
up. If some people see a chance
to get some money in a crooked
way. the question of the prior
claim of religious principle on the
disposition of that money is not
considered.
Also priorities are needed on
principles of justice and kindness,
the two great forces which should
regulate human conduct. If we are
going to have a quiet, peaceful and
happy country. these principles
should have the claim for priority.
People should not consider that
their own selfish desires get the
priority.
The first question to be settled
under a priority rating is as to
what is fair to the people with
whom we deal, and what will be
the principle of kindness that will
make life move on harmoniously.
The world is in turmoil today
because no such priorities are
given. The Nazis of Germany give
the priorities to power. They say
that any country that has the mil
itary force is to have the prior
claim on anything it wants, and
they reach out and grab all they
can. The Germans are not the only
ones. Even our own country may
haee gNen -saftsh inasshsts
priority, when it should have seen
that justice and kindness call for
more generous priority for the ben
eft of the world at large.

Sign Up For Uncle Sam

The youths who became 21 years
of age since October Is. marched
to the registration offices July 4
and signed their names and ans
wered 10 questions. They per-
formed this duty with the same
spirit shown at the registration
last October.
Freedom Of choice is usually the
blessing of American manhood.
The youth is free to choose what
occupation he will enter. where he
shall live, and whether he shall
marry or remain single.
The glorious freedom of America
also involves duties. Youth has
received the highest benefits that
any country ever conferred. Those
benefits can continue only SO long
as our free government endures. If
we value these benefits, the free
has to be defended
from foes. The prompt reply to the
registration requirements indicates
that youth appreciates this truth.

More Service For Draftees?

Congress has been told by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and army leaders
that the safety of the nation makes
it necessary to extend the term of
service of the men now drafted
under the selective service act. 1t
may be blow to some Of these
men if they are not. permitted to
return home. at the end of the
year.
These are extraordinary times.
The country can't move on as it
might in sleepy days of peace and
prosperity. 1t is fer the best in
terest OF everybody, for the nation
toeeSt all the snifitsFy strength u
can. Thus the chances Of keeping
out of actual lighting are greatly
increased. Adolf Hitler is going to
let this country alone. if it is pre-
pared to meet any attack.
A drafted army with only years
training and with very inadequate
supplies of weapons would not be
fitted to meet Adolf Hitler's profess
sional soldiers. However greatly a
decision to extend the drafted
mems service may be regretted, it
may be for their best interest.
Milford chronicle., 1941-08-01
People Should Buy Bonds

The government is trying to per-
suade all types of people to put
money into defense bonds. Some
authorities have suggested that a
portion of the increased wage pay
ments received by workers should
be allotted to the purchase of such
bonds for the benefit of the work
ers.
1t will be highly beneficial to the
country to have billions invested in
such bonds. One of the greatest
dangers is that OF steady advance
in prices and the cost of living,
which would create no end of trou-
BILE in the business and industrial
world.
Many millions of people are get
ting more money than they have
had for years. If they spend all
that money in buying the things
they want, they will create search
ties, and prices will rise. But if a
good part of their money is put
into defense bonds, it will check
the tendency to rising prices, help
the government finance the defense
program. and give them security
against misfortune.
Milford chronicle., 1941-08-01
The Veil of Censorship

The present war is unlike any
former one, in that it is not pos
sible to tell what has happened
until long after events take place.
Never has the veil of censorship
been SO thick and close. In for
mer wars, newspaper correspond
ents were allowed to come fairly
close to the front lines. Their re-
ports were censored. but in the
main they were allowed to tell
promptly what had happened.
Apparently the present war cor
respondents have to camp down in
places where they are under close
supervision by the propaganda
agencies, and very little gets thru
without the approval of the CEN
sors. This system helps the Nazis
to put over their blitzkrieg sur
prise attacks.
These methods show the neces-
sity for a very powerful American
air force, which shall look down
from the sky in case of war, and
discover just where the enemy
forces are located.

Marrying For A Living

The newspaper joker tells how
Rastus heard that friend of his
was getting married. To which the
friend replied, that he might have
to if the cost of living kept going
up.
How many men are there who
look for some wife who can sup
port them? You can't specially
blame them for considering that
the possession of money makes a
girl attractive. But there have
been very many girls who had
money who expected SO many more
things that the boys who married
them would have been better off
to have picked a girl whose indus
try and good disposition were her
fortune.
Many such men have wished
later that they had looked first for
someone who possessed a kind ma
ture and a willingness to work.

intelligence to maintain a retail

make it pay something to the

to get loaded up with stock that
won't sell, or to offend the public,
that the management that can
avoid these difficulties has per-

you can get extremely intelligent
attention in these stores Of Mil

run by bright, capable, hard work
