Milford stores are now open all
day every Wednesday and every
eVning until nine o'clock. All Oi
the stores are attractively lighted
land decorated for the Yule season
and best Of all, each and everyone
4 is loaded to the doors with beauti-
ful, useful Christmas gifts mod
erately priced for everyone on your
shopping list.
The Nativity scene, which for
many years has been placed on the
vacant lot owned by the w. T..
Grant Company. next to the Odd
Fellows Temple on North Walnut
Street, is now complete and with
the other Christmas decorations has
turned the main street into a YER
table faiTyland of color and light.
While it is not our custom to
dwell on the decorations of the
various store windows, because I'm
our opinion, MilfOrd's are as pret-
" as any we have seen in any city,
and space does not permit us to
describe each one, there is one that
is truly outstanding. 1t is the cen
ter window at the Pierce Hardware
Company, a beautiful castle, setting
in a field Of snow, with handsome
decorated trees and a gay Santa
and sleigh complete the pretty pic
ture. All of this Christmas scene
was set up by James Mayhem and
his wife, Thelma, for the enjoyment
of every passeTby.
The Milford Chamber Of Com
merce and the City of Milford are
co-sponsors Of the Christmas fete.

Supreme Court Urged
to Order End 81
Segregation in 1855
Briefg were filed IN at least

Briefs were filed in at least
four states in which the SUI
preme Court was asked to
order the end Of segregation
in the public schools Of the
nation BY 1855.
The Court ruled against Sc
gregation last spring in a his
toric decision. Many Of the
states affected by the ruling
has been urging that the great
est possible latitude be given
in placing white and colored
pupils together.
! Replying to the go slow
request to the Supreme Court
the Negro parents argue that
there is an impressive body Of
evidence which supports the
position that gradualism, far
from facilitating the process,
may actually make it more diff
ficult. Segregation, like many
other wrongs, can best be I'm
done BY fortnight action.
