One of the most iscouragng things about New England Communities the lack of interest that people manifest those meetings that much to their welfare.
 Recently have observed three occasions that Sun day meetings with considerable appeal very limited attend While the weather particularly attractive two instances the attendance could be fully attributed that

he outside. Outside where groups of loungers congregate to pass the time of day and make 1t most undesirable for potential customers to pproach the business or see the window display.
 This does not necessarily mean that the undesirab1es be directly outside of the door. They may we'll be few blocks away but in the same neigh borhood. Yet they give the en- tire neighborhood a bad rep utation and therefore custom CTS would rather trade in the downtown section.
 There is likewise the phys ical atmosphere that helps to make a business. If the neigh borhood is dirty in appearance, 1t is not conducive to people desiring to buy food or drugs.
 In other words newspaper cannot only create potential customers through the ads 1t carries but it can also do thing about the area in which busi- nesses operate. It can create a far more favorable atmosphere with the frames of mind of For newspaper also deals people and therefore can create constructive attitudes that will do a lot of good for advertisers.
Hartford chronicle., 1947-05-03
THIS AND THAT

One of the reasons that all newspapers advise advertisers to use their column is because they feel sure that if people are made aware of the sales offer ings that are made, they will beat their way to the door of those establishments where they can get the most for their dollars. That is especially true in these days when the costs of living are so exceedingly high.
 A small enterprise like the Chronicle particularly depends upon this medium for its de- velopment And therefore cor respondingly the readers must support them through trading with those people who adver- tise with the papers and really offer dollar for dollars values.
 But no newspaper can guar antee that because they are giv- en an ad that people will auto matically select that store a. bove all others. That is true because we all operate in a free competitive market where people have the right to make their own choices as far as merchants go.
 There is another phase in which a small local paper can operate constructively as far as neighborhood merchants are concerned. And that is in building up the type of at mosphere that is conducive to better business.
 For instance it is quite ob- vious that though merchant may have the very best win dow displays and the most reasonably priced merchandise in the community, they may not get the free flow from their shelves that they ought to get The reasons may we'll be on

HEALTH FOR ALL
 Spring Fever

Spring lever, one of the
 most common of human afflic.
 tlons, has it's way with many of us just after winter depart:
 with a final chilly huff. We
 lean, we droop, we sag, we seek a pleasant spot to sit anc
 sun ourselves. We complain of being tired out and, i'll many cases, we really are.
 In springtime, after the arduous days of winter, and possibly after a siege with colds or other diseases, we may be low on energy. Oi course. spring fever isn't really a disease. What most of us are suffering from is fatigue, often due merely to overwork or overplay. To com bat it we need extra rest, sun- shine and the right food to supply necessary energy.
 One way to combat fatigue is to get the right amount of food at the right time. This means eating enough to main tain the proper weight (your doctor can tell you how much you should weigh) and 1t means eating a balanced diet. Extra rest and carfeul atten- tion to diet i'll the springtime will put us in the best condi- tion to enjoy the outdoor days of summer. All of us benefit by an occasional change of scene, and now is the time to plan ahead for a pleasant, rec reational vacation. Sedentary workers will profit if they get a short "capsule vacation" each day, by getting some sort of outdoor exercise.
 It is the desire for a change makes some of us fall victims to Spring fever" We are bored with the same old foods, clothes and scenes. In the old days the usual prescrip- ton for this condition was some evil-tasting tonic, such as sulphur and molasses. To- day some of us have discover ed that the purchase of a brand new hat or a co1orful tie is a very effective antidote for lassitude.
 If real fatigue exists, under the guise of Spring fever," it must be combatted, for when we are tired we are more apt to contract infec- tions. Accuracy of vision and coordination are also affected by fatigue, SO that we are more apt to be involved in accidents than we are when we are rested. Since undue, persistent fatigue may be the first sign of a serious illness, fatigue that does not disappear under proper rest and diet mean visit to the doc tor for a medical check-up.
 In the next article, the formation of good health habits will be discussed.

Old?
By Josephine Lowman

According to DR.. George Lawton,
whom I have been quoting this
week, women who have average looks
are more successful in their love
life than those who are beautiful.
The percentage of suicides, divorces.
and just plain unhappiness, is
high among exceptionally beautiful
women, and those who were famous
for their physical charms.
The reason for this is simple. The
beautiful lady is too likely to rely
entirely on her beauty. When she
is very young this may suffice for
popularity and new friendships.
Therefore she does not exert herself
to develop her personality, her wit,
her accomplishments and skills, her
generosity and thoughtfulness. Her
beauty Is her fetish and when that
is gone, she has nothing left and
Is completely bereft and melancholy.
The homely or average girl is on
her mettle from the first. She, of
necessity, must develop inner quail
ties to make up for lack Of looks.
II she is smart she will become
adept at games and sports and
she will learn all she can about
clothes. hairstyling and makeup.
Haven't you known many girls who
were homely and unpopular when
they were quite young who bios
somed out into fascinating women
by the time they reached 80?
Beautiful women are likely to be-
come spoiled, and for that reason,
have a poor chance for success in
marriage. Their husbands, who
were attracted by beauty in youth,
may find that dullness and lack of
wit and intelligent companionship
pail at middle age.
The woman who leans heavily on
the prop of natural beauty is de-
pending on a straw. If you are
pretty. beware. If you are homely
or only average, take heart. Many
Of the worlds most fascinating and
loveliest charmers, were and are,
homely in the usual sense. OF
course, If you have beauty and wit
and charm and kindness, you have
the world by the tail!

psychological age, send a stamped.

Many people think Of nerves as
causing and controlling feeling, sc
that when a child shows an unusual
amount of feeling or emotion his
parents usually call him nervous.
Then, too, If a child is unduly rest
less or overactive, he is likely to be
considered nervous"
Most parents are inclined to think
of nervousness" as being caused
chiefly by physical conditions such
as malnutrition, fatigue or inherited
makeup. It is true that any o1
these can affect a child's way OF
feeling and behaving. We all know
that we are more grouchy when we
are tired or hungry. On the other
hand, one frequent cause Of 'nerv-
BUSINESS" is often overlooked, and
that is-fear. A child can be afraid
without showing it in an obvious
way.
All children have fears and wor-
ries, many of which may seem silly
to us but are very real to them
Probably the most common single
important fear children have is fear
Of not being loved by their parents

Dip your brush well into the paint,
wipe lightly on the side of the can
so the paint will not drip, apply to
the woodwork and brush out suffi-
ciently SO the paint will not run,
but, do not overbrush or try to
stretch the paint SO that it will

Keep stirring the paint from time to

am about to repaint my Venetian
blinds and wish to put on new tapes
and cords before hanging them.
With such an amount of tape and

of purchasing this material by the
foot. Does any one know If I can
purchase such material in 100-foot
lots, as I will need well over 100
feet of each?@ Local Venetian blind

sell me this material but would
rather do the entire work them

freshly painted woodwork.
Three things contribute to the
success of such work when done
by an amateur They are, the
proper mixing Of paint, the use of
proper brush and the preparation
of the surface to be painted.
AS for mixing the paint, follow
closely the direction on the can.
Many persons stir the paint for
four or five minutes and consider
the oil is properly mixed with the
pigment in the can. I pour the oil
off into another can, then break
the pigment up as much as possible,
after which I pour the oil back into
the can a little at a time while
continuing to break all the pigment
loose. After 1t appears to be well
mixed, I do what is known as boxing
the paint, that is, pour it back and
forth from one can to another and
in this way proper mixture is
bound to result. Sometimes I spend
20 or 80 minutes completing the
whole process, depending how hard
the pigment is in the original can.
AS for the brush, I use nothing
but a 100 per cent pure bristle brush.
Brushes containing horsehair will
not give the finish you desire, as
they do not hold sufficient paint
and do not brush out smooth. Use
a pure bristle brush, not less than
3 and preferably 4 inches wide and
at least u to q inches thick, not
the thin spindling brushes that are
sold in the average 5 and 10 cent
store. You won't regret its cost
when the job is done.
AS for preparing the wood, first 1t
must be dry, clean and free of all
grease or SCOT, especially if the kit
chen Is one of the. rooms to be
painted. Paint will not adhere and
will probably blister and peel if put
on over dirt, grease, or any damp
ness whatsoever. I use a mild solu-
ton of a cleanser for cleaning the
woodwork, following closely the
directions on the can for mixing the
solution. If you are painting over
high gloss or enamel paint it will
pay you to sandpaper the surface
lightly which will break up the
smooth surface and allow the first
coat to adhere. For the first coat
I use an enamel undercoat, which
dries to a fiat, slightly rough finish
and makes an excellent base for the
final coat. If the paint you are
covering is color hard to cover with
one coat Of the undercoat, put on
a second coat before applying the
final coat. I have yet to use a Sc
