Mrs. Thelma Griffiths and Mrs. Samual Johnson, Jr., motored to Milford Mil-ford Monday. It was an enthusiastic and at times a pathetic send off given the first boatload of War Mothers Wednesday when they left New York for the battle fields of France. 200 gallant mothers comprised the first consignment consign-ment as government guests to visit the graves of sons and husbands across the sea. Milford made a most creditable showing in the recent census return. It was one of the very few towns, outside of cities, that made a gain in population during the past ten years. If in the past ten years ten per cent of the money made here had been spent at home the town would have been twice its present size. There is little use in looking backward back-ward and recounting mistakes, except ex-cept that they may give us more foresight for the future. On May 8, the Senate passed, without with-out amendment, the duplicate of the Colton bill authorizing the United States Government to build highways across public domain and bear the full cost of such construction. This bill also provides that the federal government shall maintain and improve im-prove these roads after completion. If this bill becomes a law, Milford may realize one of her cherished ambitions am-bitions that of seeing highway 21 become an improved transcontinental highway. With a sucicient amount of money expended on highway 21, it would become one of the most popular route from the east to the coast. |
