E. Old Neighborhood Fun

If some people are inclined to
groan about not being able to use
their cars so freely for a year or
two or more, they would better
study how people had good times
in the horse and buggy age. Ac-
eording to the old timers, people
were never more happy than then.
One of the grand sports of those
times was the holding of neigh
borhood and group picnics. A
company of friendly folks would
hitch up their family horses, and
drive to some nearby resort. The
abundant eats filled them with en-
thusiasm.
The picnic ball game was the
big event. Sometimes the men
would play alone, and throw and
bat balls with the enthusiasm of
kids. The women and girls would
often play with the men, and the
fun was fast and furious when
they famed the air with their bats
or fell down while running bases.
Many such nice picnics are still
held. There are plenty of ways to
have fun, even if you can't get
taires.

Unexpected Misfortunes

Life brings unexpected surprises.
and people have to show prudence
IN getting ready for them. If any
one had suggested about last Octo-
ber, that the supplies of rubber
would be cut off so that the Or
dfnary automobile owner might not
be able to get tires until the war
was over, this display of good judg-
ment might have been called
gloomy pessimism.
iUAfter this war, the American
people will not probably be salts
fed to depend on the ends of the
earth for such a vital necessity.
Tires produced in this country or
on our own continent may cost
more money, but the American peo-
pie will want a supply they can al
ways depend upon. They have be-
come so dependent on their cars
that while a sharp limitation on
their use is accepted cheerfully as
a 6 war necessity, they don't want
1t to happen again.
Milford chronicle., 1942-03-13
Treaty Breaking

One bad feature in the world is
that the countries that have start
ed this war have broken theil
agreements and violated theil
treaties. Back in former days
governments used to feel it was
advisable to adhere to their prom
ises. They felt they would lose in
ternational standing if they didn't
and would forfeit the favor with
which they were regarded.
The willingness to disregard
their pledges was promoted by the
ability of the treaty-violating gov
ernments to build up extremely
powerful military forces. The ma
tion that had more airplanes than
any other country has seemed to
feel it could do as it liked about
keeping its agreements.
One of the reasons why the
United States should fight this
war to finish is to convince
treaty-breaking countries that they
can't violate their pledges and not
suffer from it. In community life,
people who break their promises
Soon get into trouble. People dis
like to do business with them, and
they are frequently prosecuted in
court, and made to conform to their
agreements.
Previous to the first World war,
the idea was held that by setting
up international tribunals to judge
disputed issues, the nations could
be persuaded to keep their agree
ments. Those hopes proved fruit
less.
After the present war, there
should be forces that will lead
nations to act in a more honorable
way. If the treaty breaking ma
tions are defeated. they should con-
clude that it pays to. adhere to
pledges.
The nations that believe in keep
ing their agreements can accom-
plish results through commercial
relations. They should be willing
to grant important favors and con-
cessions to nations that adhere to
their pledges. If nations violate
their treaties, they should not ex-
pect such favors to continue. The
lawless nations have to be shown
that it pays to be good.

A LETTER OF INTEREST

The following letter was received
this week by Mrs. Maggie Hazard
from her sister-in-law, Mrs. The
odore S. Coulbourne, who with her
husband, Lieut.-Com. T. s. Coul-
bourne resides in LaMisa, Calf.
The letter contains very interest

Myrtle Coulbourne, who has recent
ly returned from Pago Pago, Amer
ican Samoa, where her husband,
Lieutenant Edwin B. Robinson, U.
S. NJ, was stationed The Coul-
bournes made their home in Mil
ford for a number of years and
Milford residents will be pleased
to hear of their whereabouts. The
letter, in part, follows:
I'VE are so. happy to tell you
that Myrtle and Robbie are home.
They arrived in San Francisco on
Sunday, February Is. Myrtle called
telling us that they would be down
Monday and to have an ambulance
meet Robbie cher husband), as he
had been wounded when the island
was shelled. The Yellow Devils
began at a. m. Robbie left their
quarters for the radio station when
shot got him, shattering his knee
cap and fracturing the bone below
the knee in two places. He came
near bleeding to death before he
was found. He was taken to the
Navy Hospital on the station where
the doctors removed a piece of
shrapnel, about the size of dime
from his leg. Another piece will
have to be removed when he is
strong enough for the operation.
The doctors told Myrtle that he
will De in the hospital seven or
eight months and if nothing hap
pens he will have about 80 per cent
use of his leg.
1.-The morning following the raid
the Governor of the island went !
after Myrtle to take her to the hos
pital where she could remain with
Myrtle is in a terrible nervous
condition due To her narrowing ex-
periences. Poor youngster never
had her clothes off from the time
Honolulu was bombed on December
Z, until they got aboard ship to
come home on January %. The trip
was very nerve racking for they
never knew when they might get
torpedoed. Myrtle had to have ev-
erything ready for Robbie in case
hey had to take to life boats.
Thank God, they came through all
right.
The women and children of
Samoa had been put out in the
Jungle by the Governor, who was
lfraid they would get bombed. At
lights they had dugouts they went
n. The night Samoa was shelled
,nly the officers and men where
here. The women heard the shots
nut did not know what had hap
,ened on the station.
"Their quarters were hit by a
,iece of shrapnel which came
through the door, cut rocking
hair in half, struck the refrigera-
or, tore the door off. You can just :
imagine what terrible thing it is.

Matthew J. MacNamara Of wpB's

Of alcohol would be required for war

would be used in producing smokeless
powder and for various essential mill
tary and civilian uses.
But there was no threat OF a hard

100000 gallons Of distilled spirits
mainly bourbon and rye whisky
were tucked away in warehouses IN

ginla City mining man, wrote him
that the Washington highway patrol
had compelled him to buy new plates.
even though he had been in the state
only five days. and to pay a $40 fine
for not having Washington plates.

that they had been forced to buy
Washington plates and that their
Montana plates as well as their Mon

RURAL FAMILIES
CHANGE HABITS
OF SPENDING
PUT MORE THAN TWICE AS MUCH
INTO SAVINGS AND re-
DUCE DEBTS

Rural families have made significant
changes In their spending for living
since 1865, the department OF ag-
rtculture said In reporting q bureau OF
home economics survey that described
the situation In the year I941 and the
first quarter of 1919.
In 1914 farm families put more than
twice as much into savings as they did
In the earlier period. They reduced
debts, bought defense bonds and
stamps and made investments of other
kinds. They spent more for living too,
but on the whole, such OUTLAWS were
increased by scarcely a third
Higher Price Level
Amounting to a third or more were
the increases in expenditures for food.
clothing, for fuel. light and refrigera-
ton combined, for furnishings and
equipment and for gifts, contribu-
lions and income and personal taxes.
Some part Of these increases are ex-
planned by higher price levels.
Prices for things farmers buy for
living rose rapidly during 1871. While
they we're practically at the 1885
level in January. 1871, they were is
percent higher by December, accord
ing to indexes Of the bureau of agri-
cultural economies.
1t appears, nevertheless, that farm
families as a group were enjoying
more or higher quality of goods and
services in 1914 than In 1855. How
ever, the 1914 levels of consumption
even of those goods still on the mar
ket cannot be maintained in 1912
without increased expenditures. BY
June, 1912, prices of commodities used
u living were 10 percent above June
l941.
Net money incomes of farm families
averaged 46 percent higher in 1871
Than in 19S5-S6
Although national income from agri-
culture was approaching record level
n 1941 more than third Of the farm |
'amilieS and almost a quarter Of the |
-ural nonfarm had net money incomes
rom all sources amounting to less
han $500 in that year.
Income Less Than $1,000
Even after adding in the value Of |
