The Free Employment Bureau

Close cooperation between the Social Service
bureau and the proposed free employment
agency should tend to diminish the number of
demands for charity The interrupted earning
capacity of worker, if long continued, may force
him against his own will and desire to appeal for
aid. If the employment bureau succeeds in plac-
ing him at profitable work, it prevents an appli-
cation for public support.
On the other hand, the Social Service bureau
often has cases where relief would not be needed
if the head of the family could be given employ
ment By handing his name to the employment
bureau, the man may be assigned to a position
where he will earn enough to maintain his family
without assistance from other sources.
Unemployment is one of the causes of pow
erty. If potential dependents can be kept at
work. beneficial service will be performed for
both the man and the community.

The Bean Basis

Let US get on bean basis and then maybe
we get back to turkey on occasions
In this phraseology the head of New York
organization conveys thought about re-adjust-
ment and construction which all of may take
to heart with profit to ourselves individually and
to the country collectively.
He means to say that we have forgotten to
differentiate between luxuries and necessities.
We fail to see that many of our desires to be
classified as extravagances; we want turkey
every day, instead of on holidays and festive
occasions
Back of all this is the truth, that if we do not
once in while the day will come when we can
not have turkey at all. If continue to de-
mand turkey, we will exhaust the supply, and
will be unable to obtain the delicacy on the days
when entitled to it.
The bean basis" is one on which our country
has risen to its power and wealth. Because our
forefathers were willing to deny themselves
many luxuries, they were able to accumulate
capital for investment in great projects. Be-
cause they did not spend all their money for
turkey, but were satisfied to live frugally and
within their means, they piled up the financial
resources which in the last few years have en-
abled us to become the great creditor nation of
the world.
There are times when it is fit and proper to
ask for turkey, but just now we are in a season
when beans are in order for all of us, employer
and en1ploye. The doughboy in France did not
demand turkey. He knew it unreasonable
to ask for delicacy in that emergency, and so

to bring out his point that acts of
heroism are just the same today, in
spite of the changed conditions. as
they were in the days about which
the late Mr.. Burleigh wrote. Mr..
Dunnack repeated the story OF the
catastrophe which happened some
months ago, when motor boat

fire the men left her, some of them
reached shore and one-half of them
lost their lives. But in that crowd

Mr.. Dunnack referred to the
speeches which he had made dur

read them over and he could hardly
believe that he had made them.
They were given in the thrilling

business streets and of the industrial
plants of the city will be made.
In every business institution the
usual rivalry will prevail to secure a
100 per cent. membership and thus
to become entitled to display proudly
one of the now famous I'VE belong
1000 strong" banners.
Naturally, because of the holiday,
this work in industrial and business
institutions can not be started at the
time the drive begins in the wards.
Saturday will see the Industrial
and business solicitation well under
way.
Sunday will be Red Cross Sunday
not only in Augusta churches but in
the Colonial Theater as well.
In the churches, ministers OF all
denominations will unite in the great
work that appeals alike to all creeds
and to those who profess no creeds
the work of relieving suffering
through the greatest of humanitarian
agencies--the Red Cross.
At the Colonial Theater will be
shown Red Cross moving pictures,
which will be followed by an illus
trated lecture by Henry E. Dunnaek.
The announcement that Mr.. Dun
mack is to speak is enough to fill
theater many times the size of the
Colonial.
Another feature of the Colonial
program will be the music, which
will be furnished by the Augusta
Symphony Orchestra.
With attractions of that sort and
with no admission fee, no collections
and no pledges it is certain indeed
that only those who reach the theater
in time can hope for admission. The
program begins at 230.
