THE NOVEMBER VOTE

The final figures are in on the November
9Th election. They show that 6S,832,818
Americans voted in the presidential election.
This was a record - and fulfilled prediction
forecasts
The vote was surprisingly close, when
considering the number of votes cast. The
winners total was 34,221 ,463 and the losers
34,IO8, ,582 That's difference of little over
100000 votes.
The most striking thing about the elect
ion from the geographical standpoint is the
strength Vice President Nixon showed in the
West and the strength Senator John F. Ken
nedy showed in the South and East.
The final figures make it obvious that
Kennedy's campaign was so successful that
he could have won without receiving as many
popular votes as Nixon. In the actual event,
he received more popular votes but if the per-
centage Kennedy received were adjusted
downward enough to give Nixon a slight pop
ular-vote margin, Kennedy would still have
won enough electoral votes to be named Pre-
sident.
This can happen, of course, and has
happened, and because of this possibility,
legislation is being introduced in the new
Congress to- change the electoral college sys-
tenn. As far as democracy and democratic
procedures are concerned, the fair way to
stage presidential election is to provide that
each state give each major party candidate
his proportionate share of the states popu-
lar vote

Babson Park, Mass, Feb. 3. For
forty years have been compar-
ing monthly retail prices for
household goods. With the except
ion of the war years, these retail
prices have always been lowest
early in the month of February.
Reducing Inventories BY Mer-
chants
The efficient merchant dislikes
to carry any merchandise more
than a year. The McCrory Cor
poration, which has over 400 re-
tail stores inf about the same num-
ber Of cities covering close to for
ty states, marks everything down
to zero which has not sold during
the year.
Bankers do not like to loan on
inventories which are over year
old. They fear that changes in
styles or colors, or some other
price factor, may be very serious.
All of this means that wise mer-
chants have truly "markdown"
sales in the early part of each
year.
Beware OF Some January Mark
Downs
Markdowns are advertised di-
rectIy after Christmas, but often
do not begin until January. The
goods chiefly pressed for sale are
white goods which include
sheets, pillow cases, blankets,
drapes. spreads. and even rugs.
Some of the stores will have big
markdowns of dresses and linz
gerie for misses and grownups; !;
also of boys sports jackets and
sweaters, which are usually over
stocked. Nylon stockings are be-
ing offered at ridiculous prices.
But be sure to save the labels un-

til after your goods are washed.
Some years housewives can get
real bargains in January; but
usually women are short of cash
so soon after Christmas and do
not buy too much at that time. In
the meantime. every merchant is
carefully watching his January
sales; if these are not good, he
puts on real markdowns in Feb
ruary. Hence, we are now in the
month when careful housewives
will stock up on household needs.
Buying On Credit

my family continues the habit.
But the housewife may be justi-
fled in asking for credit to buy at
these real February markdowns.
1t is much better to get this cre-
dit from the store at which you
trade than to borrow at a high
rate of interest from some FL

Tell the stores credit manager

1'eleyislOn And Automobiles
The markdowns apply to more

also to TV sets, radios, and auto
mobiles. Secondhand cars sell

MILFORD
FACING 1861

Every person should take stock of his pro-
gress toward some goal occasionally. At the
beginning of new year is the customary
time.
The first thing one should consider is his
goal in life Where are you going? Are you
helping others? Are you satisfied with the
life you are living?
Second, after setting your goal, comes the
hard part. You must discipline yourself to
live by the resolutions which will make you
the person you-would like to be.
The year 1861 might contain many pit
falls. recession will probably be felt by
many of us. The threat from the communist
world is the gravest threat our country has
faced since the Revolution. This will worry
many of us especially those in the armed
services and with members of their family in
service
But, all-in-all, 1861 will come and CO. and
most of us will survive. At the end of the
year, it would be nice to look back and feel
that your goal had been achieved To be able
to do that you must steel your resolution now,
and set your standards for conduct and busi-
ness, and stick to them.

THE HELP OF LAUGHTER

If gold is the color of wit and laughter,
then rich tracery of gold runs through the
Somber fabric of Abraham Lincon's life.
Lincoln was man of tragedy one who
suffered personal anguish and carried vastly
more than one mans share of the nation S
tragic burden and died at last the victim
of fanaticism. Yet even at moments of deep
est gloom there flashed out the saving
brightness of humOr
Lincoln's fund of amusing yarns seemed
inexhauStible. He was forever telling funny
stories, even when he was caught in the
Civil Wars agonies of decision and struggle.
Those about him were not always amused.
On one occasion a member of Congress pro-
tested, and Lincoln replied, "You cannot
be more anxious than | have been constantly
since the beginning of the war; and | say
to you now, that were it not for occasional
vent should die"
There is a lesson in this, as there is in
many things Lincoln did and said Stern
and demanding though the times may be,
the warm touch of humor is never out of
place. We need to laugh bit-at ourselves,
sometimes - and from that laughter will
come new strength, just as Lincoln found
strength, to fight the battles we must.
