Jr. High Remains Undefeated
The Milford Jr. High School
football team ably coached by Art
Domke and Dick Caldwell extended
their winning streak to games as
they downed Caesar Rodney by a
score of 1913.
The game played in a strong
wind kept either team from pass
ing. Milford was able to move the
ball without passing by the use of
pitchouts, end sweeps and well
executed reverses.
Milford scored 2 touchdowns in
the first half to lead by a 1870
score at half time. This lead was
increased to 19 points as the Jr
Bucs drove to their final score in
the fourth quarter.

quarter. Late in the 4th quarter the

Refugee Christmos

Christmas is holiday celebrated through
out the Western World and this year particu-
larly there is much for Europeans, as well as
Americans, to be happy about. There is not
merely the negative absence of war but also
the positive growth of democratic strength
There is a general prosperity throughout most
of the free world and guarded confidence in
future of spiritual as well as of material
progress
Most Americans and Europeans can there
fore say Merry Christmas" to each other this
year and really mean it. But there is one
group of people to whom all the good wishes
in the world will not mean much this Christ
mas morning. They can only wait-and hope.
These are the men and women and chill
dren-the thousands of them who have been
wrenched from their homes and often from
their families, or who have stolen across a
frontier in the night at the most frightful per-
sonal risk, and have yet to re-establish them
selves in order to begin life once again. These
are the refugees, the political refugees the re-
ligiOus refugees, the refugees from Communist
Tyranny, even-after many long years-stilI
some refugees from the Nazi villainy They
have places to live. in manner of speaking:
but they are really without homes, without
roots, without anything except perhaps patti
ence and hope. They are waiting to get through
the fne-mesh sanitary screen of American and
other immigration laws; they are sitting out
the heartbreaking delays, the Indifference the
lnhospitality OF world that would prefer to
forget them. This is not their Christmas to
be jolly; but there are other Christmases to
come, when they. too. perhaps can rejoice
Milford chronicle., 1958-12-19

1t is the ardent wish of this paper that you
and yours have merry Christmas Stick around
for week. and we'll wish you happy New
Year, too.
If you think of Christmas from the material
standpoint, you will find ample reason for re-
ioicing. All reports that have come within our
reach of hearing emphasize the extraordinary
prosperity of this fortunate country. The final
accounting, it is said, will show Christmas shop
ping at level never before reached
On our occasional visits to the marts of
trade in the last few weeks we marveled at the
number of folks milling about and purchasing
seasonable gifts. The crowds were tremend-
Gus.
There is, for all of us. consolation in the
knowledge that materialism is minor phase of
Christmas. 1t is spiritual experience If you
don't feel like it, if it doesn't lift you up, it
isn't Christmas at ALL AS Irwin Cobb once wrote
it's just December 25.
Some folks will tell you Christmas is for
children special sort of holiday set aside for
the pleasure and delight of the immature. This
is for the birds. To be sure, Santa Claus has
made it a special day for children and no one
in his right senses would deny the kids the plea
sure they derive from the things they find
beneath the tree. The very young have no COM
prehension of the meaning of Christmas. The
gaily painted sled, the toy train, the skates and
so sop-these are Christmas TO children.
Milford chronicle., 1958-12-19
Now For Merry Wishes


The spiritual side of Christmas is for the old
er folks, those who can read the Gospel of the
day and understand it. Unfortunately, not too
many of us take the time to reflect on the mean
ing of the Nativity. If we did there would be
no necessity for the oft-repeated warning against
taking lone for the road"
Christmas in its best sense is a family day.
Quite properly it is a day of rejoicing. But
there ought to be on this day time for deep re-
fection. When sleep overtakes your tired chill
dren tonight sit down in your comfortable chair
and ponder the deeper meaning of the day.
You'll feel better for the experience.
This is a good day for all of US to forget
political partisanship and wish President and
Mrs Eisenhower a Merry Christmas. 1t has
been a tough year on the President with inter
national tensions Fortunately, at home, with a
few minor exceptions, we are happy and con-
tented people. For this Mr.. Eisenhower deserves
no small credit
AS the poet so well said, Christmas is every
where from the frozen tundra of the North to
the steaming swamps of the equatorial belt. 1t
is, in short, universal.
The years accumulate and your bones creak
a bit under their weight. Your step slows and
the fireside takes increasing appeal But
Christmas the feeling it brings and the thought
it inspires remains unchanged. Now with this
off our chest, once again
"A Merry Christmasl"
Milford chronicle., 1958-12-19

The mere absence OF war does not mean
that an enduring peace of justice and freedom
has been made. The tension in divided Korea
and the dangers that haunt Indo-China are
ample evidence of that. In Europe the walls
that must bulwark peace have not yet been
built. and the free world waits on final decision
with anxiety.
Nevertheless 1t is happier task to strive
for security and liberty with such tools as
diplomacy, economic aid and counsel than TO
watch men dying on the battlefield The Uni
ted States is prepared to fight in defense OF
freedom when other resources fall. The ener-
gy and wisdom of its President are devoted to
insuring that those resources do not fail.
For that, and for the silent guns, Ameri-
cans are truly thankful. The task of infiuenc-
ing the nations of the world toward peace
which will not sacrifice human rights and dig
nifty is difficult one. 1t requires courage, and
steady nerves. refusal to be panicked or ex-
asperated into either submission or provoca-
ton. 1t demands sacrifice of some luxuries to
maintain strength. But the end is well worth
every effort that can be made.

Poinsettid Needs Sleep

The poinsettia is one plant that has to have
its sleep. According to recent bulletin from
the United States Department of Agriculture.
il is important that the plants have long
nights, uninterrupted by even shaft of arti-
fetal light" to bring them into bloom by
Christmas
Florists nave discovered. the report says.
that The light from street lights as far fifty
yards away from a greenhouse can prevent the
flowers from blooming.
When a plants leaves drop off after the
holidays many peopie decide that it is dying
and throw it out. e'An unfortunate mistake. :"
the department says After blooming the plant
normally goes into rest period that lasts until
about the first of May.
With care, the report says the plant will
bloom again next Christmas After the leaves
fall. the poinsettia should be placed in cool
area (40 to so degrees) and watered sparingly.
About the first of May, the bulletin con-
tinues, ii may be cut back to remove excess
wood and give it trimmer shape. The old
soil should be discarded and the plant repotted
in container that will Just hold it's roots
without crowdng them.
