Letter to Sick
Dear Mrs. Post: Please tell

clerk starting to gamble or like any family living
beyond its means Once the habit starts. it is very
difficult to stop, and always ends in disaster
was recently talking with Mr.. Eugene w
Stetson, one of the best informed bankers in New
York, regarding the general business outlook, He
stated that commodity prices could stabilize and
employment hold up eff the business interests of
the country could have faith in the Democratic Con-
gress now in session in Washington" In other
words, the recent decline in commodities and the
accompanying increase in unemployment, is largely
due to fear amongst thoughtful people that proper
efforts will not be made to reduce government
spending and prevent further debt.
WRITE YOUR CONGREsSMEN
Therefore, if you readers of this column are
interested in getting fair price for your product
and holding jobs for yourself and family. earnestly
urge that you write your congressman as follows:
please vote to reduce Government expenses SO
that it will be unnecessary for Uncle Sam either to
increase taxes to go into further debt" If your
congressman will take your advice on this matter
the decline in business at this time might be check
ed But otherwise, a constant decline in prices
wages, and employment may be expected 1t would
be the old story of trying to burn candle at bOtl
ends.
Let's be frank. You know your Congressman
Would you employ him to run your own business
Yet you have elected him to run the greatest bust
in the world; and say this very seriously. Oh
the other hand your Congressman is anxious tt
please majority of his people who vote for him
The labor interests organized to push for
deficit program. They seem to have no interest il
balancing the budget, but merely to make trouble
Hence the hope of the situation lies with independ
ent voters such the farmers, small businessme
and unorganzed workers. Perhaps you will sug
gest to your Congressman that much of this desire
economy could be brought about without firing any
One,-but by merely not replacing those governmen
employees who resign or die.

IRON-CLAD CENSORSHIP

Under an order recently issued by the
Secretary of Defense, the most complete CEN
sorship yet known in this country over the
dissemination of information OF military
character has been established. -e---
The order established what is known as
the Security Review Branch" This branch
is given the power to review international
material of any nature from military sour
ces, and to decide what may be made public.
The military sources covered by the order
include, along with regular military per-
sonnel, civilian employees of the various
branches of military service, active reserve
personnel, retired military personnel, and
so on. The order even includes transcript OF
testimony before committees of Congress in
executive session by personnel subject to
military jurisdiction.
All of us realize the necessity for guard
ing information which might be of value to
foreign powers and which affects our ma
tional security. But that is very different
thing from the creation of an all-poWertu
censorship board which, if it so desires, car
prevent any and all debate upon policy by
the people who know the most about 1t, anC
abolish informed criticism. If that happens
the citizens of the country will know al
much or as little about military affairs a.
the Secretary. of Defense permits.
Writing in the Pensacola, Florida, Jour
nal, George Dixon says of the order: "lts ne
effect would seem to be as absolute as any
thing ever issued by the Soviet cominfOrm.
Censorship of this kind should be repugnan
to free people.

BACK OF MODERN RETAILING

When we go shopping, most of us take
it for granted that the stores will have what
we want We may patrOnize chains, indie
pendents, or any other kind of retail outlet.
Whatever the kind, we expect to find wide
selection of goods, intelligent salespeOple, a
courteous welcome, and good service That
expectation is usually justified.
The vanished crossroads emporium
didn't have to give much effort to pleasing
the customers-it had a monopoly of the
local business and people took what it offer
ed and paid the price or went without. Then
as the nation grew and transportation inn
proved, more stores were opened. Real COM
petition appeared. The inefficient merchant
or the merchant who wanted to earn an ex.
cessive profit, found that the going was get
ting tougher. The chains came along anC
pioneered the idea of mass distribution with
very small profit on each sale. The indie
pendents followed suit and met the new com
petition successfully.
We see the result today. The typica
small town store carries the same kind o
goods that are found in huge metropolitan
stores. Prices are about the same. Dis
plays, service, and sanitation are cOmpoI
able. And the reason for it is competition
which is the Staunch protector of the cor
sumer's interest.
Stores of the future will be better tina
those of today, just as those of today ar
better than those of the past. Merchants Wi
continue to try to outdo the man next doc
and to offer more inducements. And ths
will work to the advantage of everyone.

Tough Selling Job

This reporter learned many years
ago that you cannot sell politics
like you sell soap. So Big Business,
which employs big advertising
agencies to sell soap and other COM
modities, employs big agencies, to
sell our democratic political sys-
tenn to the general pubic-and fails.
This was brought out at the recent
convention of the US. chamber of
commerce. We have the finest
political system in the world, the
free enterprise system, but we
have tough time selling our own
people on it. Yet we expect the
Voice of America to sell it to the
rest Of the world.

catiOnal opportunities, the pay

than thankful. They are gone after five
months of wrangling, double dealing and
lust plain disregard for the public in gen
eral. Gone they are-but you'll be remem-
bering them for long, long time. You'll
remember them when you start to pay the
greatly increased income taxes, which en-
ployers will be compelled to withhold from
payrolls beginning July 1st. You'll be re-
membering them when you dig into your
pockets to pay the new cigarette and cigar
taxes. You'll remember and cuss them when
you pay your increased gasoline taxes. You'll
remember.
And many, many OF you elated school tea
chers will remember them to your sorrow.
You'll get the increased incrementS all right
for time. That time won't be too far off
either. The reason for the increase, whether
it has dawned on you or not, was to secure
a better equipped corps of teachers through
out the state. The additional money will
make you fight hard to hold your job against
those who will apply. You are in for future
trouble. You'll remember them. You prop
erty owners and tax payers will remember
them. Oh, how you'll remember them wher
extra assessments are necessary to retire
bonds which have been authorized for public
buildings and additional highway programs
You'll remember them. And the admins

TRUMAN's PROGRAM DOUBTFUL


It would have taken a super seer to have
forecast. last November, that Democratic
President who had just won a stunning VIC
tory at the polls would have his legislative
program knocked on the head in most par
ticuIars by Congress. But that seems to beI
what has happened.
Looking into the crystal ball, here is thej
status of his program at present
TAFT-HARTLEY ACT-Mr. Truman wants
complete repeal. 1t would require miracle
to achieve it. 1t is doubtful if anything save
technical changes in the law will be voted.
1t may not be changed at all.
S4,OOO,OOO,OOO TAX INCREASE - When
ever this comes up, a glacial atmosphere de-
scends on Congress. Everything will be done
to avoid any tax increase. If, of dire neces-
sity. tax bill is passed, it will be very dill
ferent from Mr.. Truman's desire.
EXPANDED SOCIAL SECURITY-This is in
the doldrums. The section with the best
chance of approval would give increased
benefits to the aged. Opposition to the Ad-
ministration's medical proposals is very
strong. The more moderate measure, pro-
posed by Senator Taft and others, has many
more adherents.
COLUMBIA VALLEY AUTH0RITY-Ihlsl is
a key step in the Administrators plan Tor
the greatly expanding gOVernnlenI pO"eA
development and solidifying Federal author
ity over water and other natural resources
of the nation. Cost would be some S2,OO0,--
100000. Has small chance this session, Will
be pushed hard again.
STANDBY AUTHORITY FOR PRICE Con-
trolls, ALLEGATIONS, etc. Absolutely dead
NEW FARM SUBSIDY Plaintiffs is a
scheme, suggested by Secretary Brannan
whereby food prices to consumers would be
held down by giving direct Federal subsidies
to farmers. The Congressional reception has
been chilly.
Why should the Presidents program
have encountered such heavy going? There
are various reasons. First, many Congress
ional Democrats, especially in the Senate
are conservatively inclined and have littl,
use for what is being called the "Tru-Deal'
they fear it would result in state socialism
Second, the President has antagonized som
of the more influential lawmakers by wha
they regard as demanding, dictatorial at
titude. Third the decline ip business, eve
though it has been moderate, has develope
an attitude of watchful waiting, and Cor
gress doesn't want to depress things furthe
if it can help it.
Next session may tell different story
the President is organizing for battle. Bu
he's making small headway this time.

Farmer Needs Aid

, 81 thbGb NVGWS RAH1
We like to picture our farmer
as the lord of all he surveys, a
rugged individualist beholden to no
one, accepting no favors, taking his
chances with the elements, the
pests, the drouths, the floods and
the economic vagaries of the nation.
AS matter of fact, however, those
days are gone forever.
In our modern complex econ
Omy it is historically true that
the farmer, con his own"
eventually will lose his shirt.
He always has and always will.
1t is just as essential that he have
government protection and govern
ment help, and a guaranteed floor
under his prices, as it is for labor
to have bargaining power and a
floor under his wages, or that bust
ness be protected with export sub
sides, with tariffs or other various
governmental aids. And to get this
aid he must agree to certain
things-which is RECOMMENDATION. AnC
he accepts subsidies, directly Of
indirectly, sometimes both.-AnC
whatever he accepts costs the tax
payers. The Brannan plan may no
be the best plan for agriculture
but to oppose it on these grounds is
in this reporters opinion, at leas
unrealistic.
One thing is certain, unless
the administration can in some
way, not now apparent, get
moderate labor law through
this congress, Taft-Hartley re-
peal will again be an issue in
the 1850 bye-electiOns. Activity

.MILFORD'S SEWER TAX

The closing days of the General Assem-
bly, saw the passage of the Sewer Tax Bill
which City Council sponsored. Under the
provisions of the charter amendment City
Council is now authorized to levy a sewer
tax each year up to 500 of the amount of the
water bill for each property within the city
limits. The. legislation also provides that
the monies derived from the sewer tax shall
be used for maintenance of sewers and the
extension of new sewers throughout the city.
A last minute Senate amendment to the Or
iginal House Bill makes it mandatory for
the city to maintain at the cost of the city
all lead-in sewers from the main sewer to
the curb line on every street. 1t further pro-
vides that if prompt repairs to clogged or
damaged sewers are not made within 48
hours after the city Office has been notified,
then the property owner may have the work
done at city expense, said costs to be deduct
ed from sewer taxes levied against the prop
erty. This latter provision makes the City
of Milford responsible for all sewers under
the streets of the town and it is the duty of
the city to repair any damages to the streets
which may be incurred in making the sewer
repairs. The Charter amendment as finally
passed is fair to every one concerned-the
city and the property owner. 1t should de
much to eliminate delays in repairs and al
the same time give the city needed funds
with which to build new sewer extensions.

Thirty Years Ago 81 81 4is F5sia 8d H5S9 5s 1:

An airplane which landed near
Milford last Sunday created much
excitement and interest upon the
part of the people of this section.
The machine was piloted by one
man and came here from Phila-
delphia. The pilot started for Har-
risburg and in leaving Philadelphia
followed a four track railroad
thinking it would lead him to Har-
risburg. He followed the Delaware
Division Road to Wilmington and
thence down the peninsula, how
ever. When he landed in Milford
he was much surprised to learn
where he was. After filling the tank
with gasoline he again left, this
time for Aberdeen, Md, where he
can follow the river back to Har-
risburg. The driver of the airplane
was advertising a flying school in
Harrisburg.
