will ever get.
1t is these people who will be
called on again to lead other caus-
es, and no doubt they have consid-
cred their personal satisfaction in
former successes a sufficient re-
ward. No one who doesn't have his
heart in the cause he pushes can
make a success of it anyway.
One should not have his ear at
tuned to mere praise for that is
only cheap flattery. Merited praise
is all that counts anyway, and
whether it is received or not does
MT matter, particularly if there be
a few who recognize and are
grateful for good work done in
their behalf.
While it might be discouraging
to some who do not have their
heart in their job, or who start off
timidly and doubtful, the task of
working for public causes is not
without it's reward. If the cause
be a good one, it meets with sue

THE THANKLESs TASKS

Do you ever stop and think how
much we owe to those tireless
workers who give generously of
their time to work in behalf of
public causes? Think of the hours
and the time lost from their bust
ness by those who solicit member
ships for a Chamber of Commerce,
who raise money for the Red
Cross, the Cancer Fund, the CSO,
the numerous church and school
organizations, and oftimes a re
lief fund to help some person il
sudden distress.
Now these things are an obliga-
ton of society and the duty of all
citizens alike but some cannot and
others will not ever take any ac-
tive part in discharging this duty
making it necessary for u few
persons to do more than their
share of work.
The smaller the community the
fewer people available for these
tasks, so not only for one year do
we find one person often assum-
ing nearly the full load, but year
after year these faithful persons
are called on, not only to carry
on the same work of the year be-
fore, but to spear-head other new
drives for funds.
Usually it is a busy person who
can be best depended on for these
jobs. The same persons who do
most for their church often do
most for the Red Cross, the Can
GER drive, the Boy Scouts, the
PTA, etc. Now let US think about
how much more these people sac
rifice from business and personal
affairs in order that the communi-
ty may go over the top.
Of course the people who do
these jobs usually find a deal of
and pride in a job
well done. Very seldom do they
receive thanks or praise for their
1t were not unselfish work
if done for the praise, reward or
hope of reward which might fol-
low. 1t must be undertaken with
the knowledge that there be no re-
wards save the inner satisfaction
that follows if success is achieved,
or the challenge that arises to one
who has failed-a challenge to do
better next time.
Take for instance the Dare
County Tourist Bureau. Various
people have worked hard on this
task of selling to the people the
idea of investing in something that
will be profitable to everybody.
The work has been uphill, and oft
en- discouraging, yet those citizens
who have carried the banner have
made a notable contribution to the
welfare of the coastland and have

Superior Court jury recently

Jones charged neglience on the
part of the railroad in the death of
his wife, Almeta, at a dirt road
crossing in Selbyville on June 13.
1858. Mrs. Jones was a passenger
in the car driven by Jones. Among
the charges presented by Attorney
Everett F. Warrington, for the
plaintiff was failure to maintain
proper lookout" It was also
stated the weeds on railroad prop
erty were so high that a view of
the track was obstructed from the
road.
Railroad employees were ex-
amined at length on the details of
the crash, among them J. w. Nit
cheu, Harrington, who was acting
engineer at the time He said that
he begun the whistle for the cross
ing at the whistle post as required
and that he jammed on the emer-
gency brakes as soon as he saw
the car.
The jury was out less than half
an hour. Had they brought in a
verdict for the plain tiff. they would
also have had to fix tile amount Of
damages which had len argued at
length.

Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank
Reports On ''T1he Outlook For
Cars Style, Deals And Credit''

Automobile demand will not be
so strong in 1856 as it has been in
1855, according to the October Bus
mess Review of the Federal Re-
serve Bank of Philadelphia. An ar
ticle in the Review, "The Outlook
for Cars-Style, Deals and Credit, :"
tells about the factors influencing
the demand for cars.
Desire buying" replaced need
buying" sometimes in the middle Of
1853 Since then, demand factors
such as style and engineering innO-
tations, dealers selling ability, and
credit terms have assumed increas-
ing Importance, according to the
Business Review.
Income changes always exert
considerable influence on car buy
ing. Possible tax relief in 1856
makes some increase in income
seem likely. Present owners will
have the wherewithal to buy new
cars. How rapidly turnover takes
place depends largely on how much
desire" is generated by style and
engineering changes, by dealers
deals. and by credit lures. the
Bank says.
Style changes in 1856 cars will
not be so extensive, according to
the article Engineering innova-
tiOns will be more numerous than
in 1855, but usually style changes
excite more demand than engineer
ing changes; so that total demand
from this source may not be so
strong as in 1855.
Dealers selling ability is a diff
cult thing to measure, but it is inn
pOTtant The continuing trek to the
suburbs eases the car salesman's
Milford chronicle., 1955-11-04

job. On the other hand, all sorts of
new products are impressing them
selves on consumers. Backyard
swimming pools are already adver-
tised as costing no more than a
new automobile. The heat pump, a
machine which coOls a house in the
summer and warns it in the winter,
is being perfected. 1t will sell at
about the price of a good used car.
White goods statesmen say dish
washers and clothes dryers can be
bought by most families if they just
keep the family car a year or two
after they have paid it OF instead of
trading it in on a new car. And
room air conditioners are well
worth the price Of holding on to
the old car an additional year or
two, according to appliance sellers.
But car dealers are not pessimis-
tic, the Bank says. They know they
have a product that consumers love.
They know, too, that they have
high-quality statesmen on their
team. They are betting they do
better selling job in 1856.
Credit terms also will be of stra-
tegic importance next year. At
present it seems unlikely that terms
will be any easier in 1856. Some
tightening seems a more likely
possibility. If there is some tight
ening, it will probably slow the
demand for automobiles.
The Review concludes that with
few major style changes and credit
terms likely to. tighten a little,
even a better selling Job by deal
ers and slightly higher income may
not be enough to make 1856 so good
a year for automobile sales as 1855.
