THE EXPANSION 49,.
OF INDUSTRY

News reports from the motor
manufacturing localities of the
country show that the automobile
industry is right up to date on mate
rial and production for national de-
fense, and fulfilling the increased
demands of the civilian buying pub
lie for passenger cars and trucks.
The January automobile output set
new record in the history of the
motor car industry. There will be
no big national automobile show in
New York for 1941-that has been
cancelled.
Motor makers have turned over
every tool that can be spared for
use in defense industries. No radi-
cal changes will be made in 1912
models of cars by General Motors
and other big companies. Increased
energy in that direction will then be
gained, and devoted to manufactur-
ing national. defense material, ,s
"The biggest part of the tooling
job for national defense will be over
the hill in April or May" said Will
liam S. Knudsen, Director General
of Production Management at a re-
cent press conference. Tools" and
"tooling" have been called bottle
necks." Knudsen said the first bot
tleneck on production was time. .
He knows how to crack those bot
tlenecks."

Women On The Alleys

One athletic sport that is having
a great run among women is bowl
ing. 1t was recently estimated that
100000 of the sex are bowling this
winter in this country. On countless
alleys they send the little twirling
ball tipping down the alleys, while
the tenpins jeer and wink at them,
and somehow in many cases man
age to stand up on their feet, in
spite of pins falling around them.
Bowling is an excellent sport for
women, since delicacy of aim and
eye count probably more than physi-
cal strength. Many men go into the
alleys and send the ball down with
wild swoops toward the leering pins.
But by some defect of aim, it fails
to hit the kingpin at the right
angle, and most of the pins still
stand up straight and proud, and

The Lovers Own Day

How come that the 14th of Feb
ruary has long been an occasion
when lovers were supposed to send
messages Of sentiment to their ador-
ed ones, ON this occasion famed as
st. Valentines Day?
For centuries lovers have sent
these messages, and wondered trem-
bling how the dearest one felt about
them. One explanation from Eng
land is that about this time of year
in that country the birds choose
their mates, so this tender impulse
spreads TO the human flock. leading
to the observance of Valentines
Day. The spring, with its awaken
ing of life, has always been called
time when love begins to surge in
the human heart
Spring does not come to most sec
tions in the United States as early
as February IA, but the eager hearts
of youth are constantly looking 10
the opposite sex to satisfy their emo
tions. Hence the sweet reminders
on Valentines Day.
People who fall a victim to the
tender passion are sometimes called
"lovesick.p Considering how mis-
cradle some of them become when
the loved one does not respond, they
may suffer even more than they
would if stricken by disease. 1t is
not an unhealthy thing to fall in
love. The mysterious attraction
which draws sex to sex is the most
normal thing in human life. Only
people should not allow themselves
to get into this state of mind too
often. If love affairs become chron-
ie, they interfere seriously with or
binary life.
Millions of valentines are ex-
changed on this pretty holiday. They
do not usually pulse with the heart
throbs as of yore. The lover does
not probably use the valentine as
a means of declaring his affection.
He finds out long before Valentines
Day whether she loves him or not.
Instead, people send nice valentines
to many friends, and they signify
not the wild torrent of old time
love, but the ties of friendship that
bind us all together.

What Accidents Cost

The National Safety Council re-
ports that 96,5OO persons lost their
lives in accidents in the United
States last year, causing economic
losses of $3,5OO,OOO,OOO. The money
loss is small compared with the bur-
den thus created of sorrow, tragedy,
and loneliness. The vast number of
people more or less seriously injur-
ed adds enormously to this toll of
suffering and loss.
The Aemircan people are noted for
a nervous temperament 1t has its
advantages in some situations, en-
abling them to see and do things
quickly, but it does make them prob
ably more subject than the people
of most countries to serious and fatal
accidents. If peoples wrong habits
of automobile driving could be cor
rected, a good share of these acct
dents could be averted.

Christian Endeavor

The World Union of Christian En-
deavor recently celebrated the Goth
anniversary of the founding of this
society, which occurred in Febru-
ary, 1881, at Portland, Maine. The
original idea was to pledge the
young people to attend the religious
meetings of the organization, and
take some part in the same.
Up to that time many young peo-
pie felt they had little part in church
life, except to do what the old folks
told them to. Christian Endeavor
was an attempt to set them to work,
and make them feel they had a real
job to do in a church. Today the
churches realize that their future
depends upon persuading youth to
carry ON the banner of their crusade,
and this world organization has over
100000 members.

The Labor of children

Under new decision of the U. S.
Supreme Court Congress, the right of
Congress to control the labor Of chill
dren, when their products go into in
terstate commerce, seems to be
clearly established.
Certain forms of child labor may
not be affected by this decision.
There is a difference of opinion as to
whether the individual states. or the
United States Congress, should con-
troll that situation. The more SER
ious dangers created by the prema-
ture employment of children seem
to be covered by the law thus vali-
dated.
When child is held down to toll
fitted only for the full grown. the
physical and mental growth Of that
youngster is likely to be stunted. A
child who comes into life with
poorly developed body and an unde-
veloped mind, reminds one OF those
dwarf trees that grow in. places
where they are exposed to severe
winds. Such trees cannot attain the
full symmetrical sweep that comes
to the tree grown under favorable
conditions.
The mind and body of a child is
like a tender plant 1t needs shell
ter. care, and sunlight. The mind
will not probably expand unless
placed for reasonable time in a
school where it comes in contact
with knowledge. which acts like the
sun on the growth of plant.
1t is hard to make fixed regula-
,tions as to when children should go
to work. Some who do not nlearn
well from books are as we'll or bet
ter off to go to work fairly early.
Or the best thing may be to put them
in a trade school where they can
learn to use their hands skilfully.
Some children are better off work
ing reasonable hours on good farm
than they are to dig into books they
do not understand. 40
Allowing for all exceptions. the
American people want to see their
children get chance at school be-
fore the harness of adult toll is fas-
tened to their tender bodies and
minds,

SIMPLICITY IS
AMERICAS FASHION

The pattern of life in America, as
well as the pattern of fashion, is
definitely headed toward Simplicity
during 1941.
The trend. as revealed in con-
sumer and industrial survey, shows
that America is streamlining itself
in its habits of life and dress, as we'll
as in industrial products.
The study, which was released in
Washington this week, stated:
simplicity has always meant good
taste-but in boom times. Simplicity
is often forgotten when the pur-
chasing power of the public is in
creased.
"At this time, however, with the
industrial index up, and the nation
al income increasing by leaps and
bounds, world conditions have had
tremendous influence on the pub
lie state of mind.
Milford chronicle., 1941-02-14

1.-THE war, the national defense
program in this country, and world
wide events of SOLDERING Importance,
have re-awakened an appreciation in
the public of the values of Simpli-
city.
"This is evident in big cities, and
small towns. throughout the country.
One Of the best examples is women's
dress-and how women dress is an
exact reflection, many times, of the
national state of mind.
In years gone by, there was
rush to the frills of Paris. Today
New York. rather than Paris, is the
style center. And a study of the
styles being currently released, def
nitely show pattern of Simplicity
that is in tune with the times. And
they are smart styles, for Simplicity
has always meant smartness."

HLIIi0rd, FrIday, February Il, lsll

AS A RESULT of the controversy
now agitating City Council many
other matters of Importance to the
city possibly are suffering from
want of attention or neglect With
two members of Council in Florida
it is certain that matters on the
Manager dispute will have to await
their return. The scrap has devel-
oped into a discussion of personali-
ties. with probable candidates for
the job egging the matter on. In
asking for an increase to $4,000 a
year salary we believe that Mr.
Banning is asking for too great an
increase. He is a valuable man to
the City of Milford, but, unless there
is some reason unknown to us, we
cannot believe that an increase from
$500 to $4,000 is justiflable from
the standpoint of city taxpayers.
Dover's City Manager is paid $4,000
a year salary and that salary seems
more reasonable.
With this statement on our part on
the City Managers scrap we pass to
the actions of City Council as body.
Certainly for months the business
of the city has not been transacted
in smooth and business-like man
ner. Each meeting night finds the
members wrangling over matters
which require sober and quiet con-
sideration. Many meetings are al
most broken up through threats and
counter threats, threatened resigna-
tions and Withdrawals of these resig-
nations and with hours consumed
when all necessary city business
could have been transacted in a
short period of time.
We cite just one instance which
may be enlightening to the public.
Long before Christmas the ladies of
the Kings Daughters, a. charitable
organization, whose purpose for half
a century has been the aiding of
worthy needy families in7sffiford,s Fat
the suggestion of Mayor Evans,
wrote to Council requesting $5OO.OO
with which to carry on their worthy
work. Nothing was heard from
Council concerning this request. The
lady who 'had written the request,
met Mayor, Evans on the street weeks
after the request had been made, and
he brought the matter to her atten-
tien. He said that the secretary had
been instructed to mail check for
500 shortly. after the request was
made. In the meantime the Kings
Daughters had been compelled to
cease all charitable work as a re-
suit of the lack of funds. Only re-
Gently was the check for $1OO re-
ceived by the Kings Daughters
and nothing in the form of letter
accompanied the check. Inquiry on
the part of interested parties brought
forth the information that the sec
retary and treasurer had forgotten
the matter. Certainly this action
cannot be condoned by Milford citi-
zeus. Especially in this particular
instance where human suffering was
the stake.
What Milford needs. and needs
badly. is a City Council that will
tackle the problems brought before
it in business-like manner, and
with quick disposition. When this
iG done, other matters will straight
en- themselves out.

THE NEWCOMER
By DANIEL B. STRALEY

He, who dwelt with us yesterday,
Perforce from us has gone away.
Another, looking quite the same,
This morning unlimited came.
He wears like coat and smile and hair
and sits in the same breakfast
chair.
How like the voice, the step and mien
Of him we yesterday had seen.
He speaks of things the other knew
And knows the family secrets, too.
Him love we quite as well | know
Eut 'ere long forth he, too, will go.
For as man drinks life's daily draught
Jnsensibly a change is wrought
And he who sits with us today
Tomorrow will be on his way.

Straight From
Washington
BY STEPHEN NJ. YOUNG
Congressman at Large, Ohio

Westinghouse the entire history
of our Republic no naval defeat equals
the magnitude of the disaster suffered
by us on December Sth at Pearl Har-
Dor. How many officers and men OF
the Plane Carrier LEXINGTON, and
the battleships OKLAHOMA, WEST
VIRGINIA and PENNSYLVANIA
were on shore, instead of on their
ships, Saturday night and Sunday
morning when death and destruction
approached? Why were they away
from their post of duty? Is it fact
that plane detectors were not man
ned? Why is it two Jap plane car
riers and droves of Jap planes were
not detected before they struck? Did
naval officers, trained at public eX-
pense, fail our people at the hour for
which they were trained? Were two
japanese aircraft carriers sunk later?
If so, is this the extent Of the Jap
naval losses? Did not our Army and
Navy maintain an air patrol over
Hawaii and out at sea? Is this the
same Pearl Harbor that American
high ranking naval officers have as
sured us is impregnable-the Gibral-
tar Of the West? Did the Jap aircraft
carriers cover a span Of ocean 2750
miles without being detected? If so,
why was this permitted to occur? In
view of the declared and evident en-
ergency, why did not our military and
naval air force attack the invaders
above the Notifications of Oahu, if
not before? How does it happen thai
Jap naval forces, and transports, ap-
preached Midway Island, Guam, and
Wake Island without detection by our
forces? Where was our vaunted
Navy? Why not let Americans know
the truth? Future generations of
Americans will recall Pearl Harbor
and December s, 1941 and say that
was our black Sunday! May none
other occur! Hundreds of years from
now, will this disaster be cited as a
fragrant example Of inattention, care
lessness, and failure? If our Repub-
lie exists for thousands Of years, may
young Americans of the future profit
by this bitter experience!
QUICK CHANGE
The House of Representatives a
week ago voted to permit the son Of
the Prime Minister of Thailand TO
enter West Point. In a few hours
Japan conquered Thailand and that
once free nation is now Jap territory.
A Republican Congressman said,
"Now Turkey comes in for some Of
our Lend Lease money. Is there no
place on earth safe from our bill
lions"
FRANKING PRIVILEGE
Unthinking persons sometimes con-
denim the congressional franking
privilege. Were this to be abolished
only wealthy congressman could
answer the numerous letters they re-
ceive. Last year of the total volume
of free mail Congressional franked
mail amounted only to 2.78 percent.
Due to the franking privilege it is
easier for Congressman to keep in
touch with their constituents and for
the public and their representatives
to profit from the exchange Of views.
