WON'T MILFORD SMELL WONDERFUL

4
1t is about time that the citizens of Mil
ford awaken to the fact that city affairs
are drifting-and drifting badly. They must
take more interest in city affairs if this
condition is to be corrected. For several
years past municipal affairs have been go
ing from better to worse. The government
and management of our city compares un-
favOrably with those of many of our neigh
boring towns We, ourselves are to blame.
The latest brainstorm of City Council is
the passage of an ordinance compelling
property owners to put their garbage on
the curb for collection. Won't this be a
wonderful sight to watch and Smell-espe-
cially so when the collections of garbage are
a day late as the collections of rubbish uSu-
ally are? Isn't it about time for the Mil
ford Board of Health, or, if they are not so
inclined, the State Board of Health to enter
the picture to see that 2 proper solution of
the garbage collection problem in Milford
is found? You citizens of Milford had bet
ter wake up to the fact that poor handling
of our garbage problem could cause an epi-
demic of typhoid or some other germ car
ried epidemic. 1t isn't too late to blast City
Council and let them know that you want
them to find a sensible solution to the hand
ling of garbage in Milford. Almost every
day the Chronicle is requested to write
up" Council. The complaints are numerous
anu NdTlSU. OOn I ISll us your RTlp6S-CSH
it to City Council, if you can get them to
stop talking long enough to listen to your
complaints. The garbage problem seems to
be on the minds of most of the complain
ants at the present time.
RUSSIA'S PEACE OFFENSIVE"
Once again the Soviet Union has en-
barked on great peace offensive" Every
last ounce of propaganda value is being
squeezed out of the peace demonstration"
which have been held recently in the Iron
the peace propaganda took the form of a
letter from Soviet President Shvernik to
President Truman urging fiVe-pOwer peace
conference. The PrO-SOviet press, of course,
is following the Russian line like a tight
rope walker. AS an example, The Worker,
of New York, the official Communist Party
newspaper, said editOrially on August IL,
''The Soviet peoples have opened up a his
toric struggle for peace. Let us answer them
with good will for our mutual welfare. Let
us demand the let down in the arms race
which Washington so cynically fears" An
alleged news story in the same issue of The
Worker bitterly attacked General Ridgway
for his tough stand in the Korean negOtia-
tions.
There is nothing particularly new in any
of this-the Communists have taken a SINH
ldI IIuS uIduy IlIlSS DSlOf6. IL is very gen
orally felt that it's primary purpose is to per
suade the peoples of the West that the Soviet
Union is really on the level this time, and
that way can be found to get rid of the
back-breaking burden of armament. If that
should happen, the military build-up under
the Atlantic Pact would gradually slow and
finally halt Europe would be ripe for pluck
ing at a time which suited the Soviet con-
venience. Little by Titles all the human
mechanical and scientific resources of Eu-
rope and Asia would be brought under Soviet
control. And eventually, when the USSR
was enormously. powerful, the United States
turn would come.
President Truman and General Mar.
shall, among many others, have warned re
peatedly of the danger of believing anything
Communist leaders say, and have empha-
sized the necessity of continuing the arms
build-up as scheduled regardless of what
happens in Korea or any other place. Those
