slipped off the face of the calen-
lar. Soon students all over the

AS school goes into its last
month, each student must work
harder to make his grades and
70 be a success IN school. A
little hard work Will help each
student. Work provides each
student with a sense of physi-
cal and spiritual completeness.
Work is n means OF taxing
part in the creative process set
up n the beginning by God. 1t
IS a means OF using the various
talents He has gwen one to heip
enrich his life. Since God first
worked and provided an ideal
environment of work on the
eartR, one can see that work is
respectable and adds much to
his daily life. 1t helps TO occupy
his time and takes his mind off
the cares and troubles of the
world. Work give HIM a feeling
of inner satisfaction because by
hard work he a accomplish
many wonderful and usetuf
things. Work develops in one a
desire to apply himself to his
vocation so that he can move
ahead in the world Hard work
removes all signs of laziness IN
a person and ADDS much to his
personal knowledge and wisdom
BY working nard each dav one
enricnes his spiritual security. II
helps him to understand Gods
purpose IN the creation of the
eartn and all OF It's wonders. 1t
helps him to become a major
part of Gods continuing crea~
ton. If he works hard, he is
truly serving the Lord in a bio
way. 1t he fails to do this, he

omission.
II eacn student will wake up
now and began to study and

.KANGAROOS AND STRAYING
HUSBANDS

Over in Australia, just few years back,
a method was found to keep tab on straying
kangaroos, and it may be that it could be
put to use in the United States. The meth
cd for keeping track of kangaroos involved
a reflective tape.
The tape, in several different colors, is
stuck to light metal tag and attached to
the kangaroos ear. One might think that
attaching this plate to the kangaroos ear
might involve some doing, but it is really
simple.
The kangaroos are merely drugged by
drugs poured in their drinking holes and
while they are asleep the tags are attached.
When the kangarOOs move about, the refec-
tive tags are traceable with scientific in
struments and scientists are able to see what
the kangarOOs are doing.
This, we might conclude, is definitely an
invasion of the privacy of the kangaroo, but
regardless of that, the idea might be put to
fruitful use in the United States.
wife, for example, could put bit of
reflective tape on her husband, either while
he was asleep, or by overcoming his resist
ance, and could keep tab on him wherever
he strolled, in daylight or darkness.
For those who are chronic shifters, or
drifters, the wife might even have tag
inserted in his ear, such as is done with
the kangaroo. The only thing we haven't
been able to figure out about this grand idea
is how the women could be taught to use the
scientific instruments.

ADVERTISING MAKES BUSINESS

Whether one realizes it or not, adver-
tising is perhaps the most wonderful de-
velopment Of the modern commercial age.
1t is the maker or breaker of business big
or little. 1t is the one factor of successful
sales that is most apt to be overlooked by
the merchants and businessmen OF small
towns and cities.
Advertising is not the exclusive weap-
on of big business; it is the power that will
make little concerns grow into larger sue
cess. 1t is a science that requires study and,
be it said, character. 1t cannot succeed II
it is based upon untruth; it must build upon
faith and integrity.
The Milford Chronicle is prepared to
assist local businessmen with their adver-
tising problems. It may be said, with due
modesty, that it's staff knows something
about advertising and that their experience
is available to all who wish to use it.
IT'S TIME TO THINK OF 1862
The year 1861 is moving towards its
end. There are only month and a half
left. So far all of the misfortunes that were
predicted by the pessimists have not de-
veloped..
There has been no collapse of public
moral and the younger generation, despite
the complaints of their elders, seems to be
developing normally. These facts should
not be overlooked in connection With news
items which naturally play up the unusual
without expressly recognizing. the great
number of men and women who play the
game of life according to sound and fair
rules.
We are not yet ready to welcome the
advent of 1862 or to suggest that those who
wish to plan their lives should get down to
the business of making resolutions. We will
say, however, that individuals can greatly
improve themselves by giving serious con-
sideration to program" to be followed in
an effort to attain desired goals.

Which Lime Is Best?

Many fields in Sussex County
will receive lime applications this
fall and winter. The question is,
which material to use, Associate
County Agent Ed Ralph says.
The three main materials are
ground limestone, burned lime and
hydrated lime. These materials
have different neutralizing powers
so different amounts OF each are
required to get the same results.
For example: 1000 pounds of
burned lime will give the same
results as 1,500 pounds Of hydrated
lime or 2,000 pounds of ground
limestone.
In general. lining recommenda-
tiOns are made in terms OF pounds
of ground limestone This does not
mean that one of the other forms
of lime should not be used How
ever, they should be applied in re-.
duced amounts.
Hydrated and ground burnt lime
are particularly good where quick
results are desired. They are a lit
tie more expensive than ground
limestone, however.
Therefore, test your soils now
so that you can use the cheapest
method to lime your farm, Ralph
said.

proaches to promoting their
well-being may vary as widely
as do the children themselves"
This fall the National Con-
gress is scheduling a new men,
bership effort to enroll more
people-parents, teachers. other
interested persons-in P.T.A.
activities.
"They will find local pro-
grams challenging and VITAL"
Mrs. Jenkins promises, because
P.T.A. activities center around
the needs of each community
and the children who are its fu-
ture."
In Alaska, for example, the
Congress of Parents and Teach
ers, concerned about education
for children of homesteaders, is
currently urging a study of road
maintenance in outlying areas,
so that children in isolated spots
may be assured of passable
routes to school.
Getting to school is a real
problem, even in well-settled
areas, according to Mrs. Robert
C. Cole, who heads the Alaska
Congress. Her home in Spenard
is only eight miles from Anchor
age, but morning and evening
she sends the family dog along
to protect her two children from
wild moose that roam the woods
in the quarter-mile area between
home and bus stop.
P.T.A.'s in the nations newest
state are seeking to preserve
Hawaiian culture in terms of
dances, language, and music.
Mrs. Teruo Yoshina, of Homo
lulu, president of the Hawaii
Congress, sees this interest as
an important segment of Ha-
waiian P.T.A. activity. Another
aspect of the states P.T.A. pro-
grants emphasis on adult ed
ucation-is of special interest to
the groups from Thailand, Pa
kistan, India, Cambodia, and In
dochina who have been enter
tanned there during recent
months.
