HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compel"
SATURDAY. MARCH Is

oh O1k1h4 NhxtOAA 4O
 Benefic aspects rule today. It is most fortunate for the aspirations of women, and also is date when good news regarding the nation is forecast. The stars indicate that the United States is to be recog- nized this year as the greatest cf all world powers.
 Heart and Home: Women of all ages should make the most of to- days opportunities which seem to offer romantic as well as material reasons for happiness. This is a lucky day for signing any con- tract. It is a happy wedding day, also fortunate for engagements to marry. The stars presage great in- crease in the number of weddings this year in which the human longing for companionship will be increased by war fears.
 Business Affairs: Again chemists are to receive acclaim as they con- tribute new discoveries which pro- mote human welfare. Children are to benefit through the use of health building foods which over come the effects of limited diet necessary in countries under the rule of Hitler. Yankee ingenuity, supplemented by scientific know ledge and broad education, is to assure the final victory for democ- racy. Preparedness is to develop super attainments which will make the nation invincible. Acceleration of many lines of trade will be evil dent next month. 1 National Issues: Political preju- dices are to be overcome in this period of peril. United efforts to make this country-the stronghold of democratic government - safe from aggression will bring out re- markable efficiency among Ameri- cans of different characteristics. A leader who is to be the Chief -Ex- ecutive after the present Admins tration is to render noteworthy service. A former President is to demonstrate the universal brother hood ideal in his work to aid wal victims of all nations.
 International Affairs: Warning is given of dark days for British forces in the second World War since the Axis powers will resort te desperate m e thods of conflict Heavy losses may be caused by { secret and. treacherous assault al time when false gesture fol an armistice may be made. Ital! comes under conflicting planetar. influences which incline the peo pie toward separate peace. It i likely that Mussolini will make thu best of his unfortunate failure' and will follow stubbornly tn course directed by Hitler who vii take over now much authority il the Fascist campaign. Persons whose birthdate it il have the augury of year of hap piness and prosperity. They will b. energetic in whatever engages theil attention. Army and naval men vii be promoted.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be unusually gifted II scientific or constructive activities They may win fame and fortune although there will be setbackl and instructions.

RUSSIAN" HOPS

Repeated assurances have been given the State Department by So- viet Ambassador Oumansky that large U. s. exports of cotton and other materials to Vladivostok are not reaching Germany via the trans-Siberian Railway. But cer- tain government trade experts still have their doubts.
 Reason is some highly interest ing figures that have just been compiled on U. S. imports of hops, essential in the brewing of beer.
 Prior to the outbreak of the war, principal sources of U" s. hops were Czechoslovakia, Belgium and Po- land, now all under Nazi domina- tion. In 1889 Russia sent us 5000 worth. But last year this figure skyrocketed to $45O000, many times the total of hops ever obtained from Russia
 Figures on the extent of Russian hops production are not obtainable, since the Soviet is very secretive about such information. It is pos sible that Russia, foreseeing a profitable export field, grew enough hops in 1940 to warrant the tre- mendouS jump in sales to the U. s. Trade experts admit that they don't know.
 But they point out that 1t also would be very simple for the Nazis to ship hops from the occupied countries to Russia, for re-export to the U. s. in Russian ships, and that such deal would be very ad- vantageous to the two allies. It would enable Russia to obtain Am erican currency for purchases here, and give Germany a credit in Rus sia payable either in American dol lars or in the goods the Soviet buys here.

Milford. Friday, July is, ls4I


THE CHRONICLE NOTES with
approval the decision made by City
Council this week to adopt the rec
concentrations of the police COM
mittee regarding parking. 1t is our
belief that the enforcement of these
regulations, a full account of which
appears ON page one of this paper,
will do much to relieve traffic con-
gestion on the main business
streets. However there is one other
step which the police committee
and council should take. They
should try to get the owners of
large trucks to refrain from driving
through Walnut street, when they
do not have business on that street.
These trucks not only fill the street
so that passing is impossible, but
when loaded for out-of-town points
they are at their heaviest and the
damage they do to the street is in
calculable. Surely the trucking
company owners will be only too
glad to cooperate, and the drivers,
when the situation is explained to
them, should feel the same way.

Why They Are Bachelors

The newspaper funny man has
crack about the boy who asked
his father what a bachelor is. The
reply was, that it's a man who
thinks before he acts, and then
doesn't act at all.
Which is suggestion that many
marriages would never have come
off. if either the fellow or the girl
had done little more thinking.
Under the lure of fascinating
face, or a very commanding man
ner, many young people get mar
ried after very little considera-
tion. The questions whether they
have money enough to support a
home, or whether they are really
and permanently in love are hardly
considered. When a fellow or a
girl feel an impulse to get married,
he or she would better take at least
several months to think it over.

The Pledge of Loyalty

All Americans were asked on
July Fourth to promise allegiance
to the United States government,
in a pledge recited by Chief Jus
tice Harlan F. Stone, as follows:
81 pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States Of America
and to the republic for which it
stands, one nation indivisible, with
liberty and justice for ALL"
These are noble words, and the
people of Delaware heartily assent
to them. The question arises as to
just what loyalty is, and how far
it is legitimate to criticize the gov
ernment in times of danger.
Our pledge of loyalty should not
interfere with freedom of speech
and of the press. The people of
many European nations are in
s-treabEe mainly because there was
no right Of free speech. If those
people had had the right to dis
cuss freely the actions of their
government, there would probably
have been no war in Europe. The
American people should never do
anything to limit this fundamental
right.
Our people live under a govern
ment which tries to act as a kind
father to its 130,OOO,OOO people.
Whatever mistakes of policy are
made, all units of government
show a sincere desire to promote
public welfare to open the doors
of opportunity to all, and to give
aid to those in misfortune. No
government ever did such gener-
Gus things before.
In facing war danger the ma
ton needs to produce as great |
unity as possible, consistent with
freedom of speech. The question
of how far anyone can legitimately
go in opposing government policies
has to be left to the conscience and
patriotism of the people. Our
hearts should throb in love for the
flag, and every one of the 48
states which it represents, in will
lingness to sacrifice and toll and
struggle for our good country.

FOOD CHAIN ADOPTS
5-DAY WEEK POLICY
FOR ALL DIVISIONS
A. and P. Shorter Work Hour Plan,
Tried Out In East, win Be EX-
tended Throughout Organization
As Soon As Possible.

John A. Hartford, president o
the Great Atlantic and Pacific TIE;
Company, today announced thu
adoption of the five-day work weel
for retail store employees as thu
company's national policy.
The five-day, 48-hour week, first
in history of the retail food bust
ness, was introduced on an expert.
mental basis in A. and P. stores in
few eastern states two months
ago, Hartford said, and will now
be extended throughout the entire
A. and P. organization "as far and
as fast" as possible.
Frankly, however, we must rec
ognize," Mr.. Hartford said, "that
in few states and some cities the
introduction of this shorter work
week may be delayed or even pre-
vented by state and local labor reg
ulations and local agreements"
In Philadelphia, William F.
Leach, president of the Atlantic
Division, said that the shorter week
will be in effect by September Is
in A. and P. food stores in hundreds
of communities throughout this
area. He pointed out that the pay
of employees affected by this policy
will remain the same as for the six
day week and although employees
will work only five days a week,
stores will continue to serve GUS
toners six days as usual.
"The new schedule is the latest
step in the company's traditional
policy of creating and maintaining
for its employees the highest wages
shortest general hours, and best
working conditions in the industry"
Leach said. During the past 25
years A. and P. has repeatedly
broken with the traditional dawn
to-dusk working schedule of the
food business, and since 1916 we
have been able to reduce our store
employees work week by 34.2 per
cent, or a total of 25 hours"
"These improved working condi-
tions have never been achieved at
the cost of increased prices to our
customers or lower returns to our
suppliers. They are the employees
share of the general reduction in
operating expenses resulting from
the consistently increasing efficien-
cy of our method of distribution.
"The A. and P.'s annual report
to stockholders, issued last month,
reveals that there is no conflict be-
tween low prices and good working
conditions. 1t shows that our GUS
toners are currently enjoying the
lowest retail prices in relation to
our costs in the history of the gro
Gerry industry; that during 1910 our
growers and shippers received 13
per cent more of the consumers
food dollar than they did in 1887;
and that we were still able last
year to give our employees actual
wage increases and added compen-
sation totaling more than $4,000
000."
Mr.. Leach pointed out that the
new A. and P. schedule is in sharp
contrast with the latest figures for
working hours in the food indus
try, contained in a survey made a
year ago by group of Washing
ton, d. G.: labor unions which re-
vealed that the average working
hours for retail employees in in-
dividual grocery stores in that city
were 631s hours and for food chain
store employees 54 hours.
