couldn't help wondering how she
could stand so straight.

wondering if he were to be offered

"And SO it should" nodded the
gypsy woman, smiling, ''for dear

"Then hefe,3' cried the gypsy

chocolate cake. If there was any
thing he loved it was cake, and choco-
late cake was not to be resisted.

The red feather in his hand, too,
kept bending the other direction,
which showed that il he would avoid

Something in poor Nick's legs
seemed to be pushing him back to-

step away, but he had no more will
than terrier on the end of chain.
And there was nothing for Nancy
to do but to follow.

Community Service will be sponsor
! ed by the Community Players and
everybody in New Iberia with dra-
matte talent will be given an oppor-
tunity for expression along that line.
Those present at the meeting fol-
low: Mrs. Perry Burke, Miss Rita
Souliere, Herman Hauser, Mrs. W.
}. Burke, +. j. Carstens. Mrs Don
aid Burke, Mrs. Fred Patout and II.
d. Schubert.
Books for the three one act plays
have been received, and the casts
were called together on separate oc-
casions for the first reading of the
val iouo pai Us. NeHeaTSAlS Will De

An evening of one act plays is

chairman; Herman Hauser, direc-
tor; Miss Rita Soulier, business man

New Iberia has great deal of
natural local talent and many train
ed in this line of work, and the pub
lie may confidently look forward to
some excellent productions from this
branch of our Community Service
program.

makes community service larger than
any single community or parish, and
becomes a national asset.
The greatest problem which faces
America today is the condition which
we speak Of as unrest. We mean
that unrest which is destructive and
which comes as the result of ideness
lack of occupation and lack of vi
sion. Unrest is the result of the fail
ure Of our community life to furn-
ish proper understanding of ourselves
and each other as citizens. The
world war was the result of botl,
basic and exciting causes. At least
one Of the basic causes was the lack
Of understanding between nations as
to aims and ideals as the result Of
secret diplomacy.
Where good will is lacking i,
community life it detracts from mu
tual respect and understanding on
the part Of citizens and upon the
part Of all social interests. On the
other hand, where there is mutual
respect and understanding, unrest is
seldom in evidence
Therefore, in each community it is
essential and it is duty to estab-
lish clearing house through which
mutual understandings may be de-
veloped in order to keep our social
fabric intact.
The weekly Iberian. (New Iberia, La.) 1894-1946, 1922-08-12

pendent upon united action. Socia
and civic progress are the result oi
the appreciation of the value Of
working together
Second, the development of a
sense Of individual responsibility
Ii team work is to be successful
every link in the chain must be Sc
cure, in other words, team work i'm
plies that each individual assume a
responsibility and meet 1t. As Com
| munity Service is dependent upon
team work, team work depends In
turn upon the sense Of duty which
each citizen feels in sacrificing ener-
gy. strength and money to meet So
cial and civic obligations which look
toward the upbuilding Of the COM
munity.
Third, Community Service not only
develops sense of the value of
team work and sense Of personal
responsibility but makes possible
self expression for individuals and
groups Of the community.
Fourth, Community Service as a
clearing house develops community
spirit. When man begins to work
for his community unselfshly he be-
comes at once defender of it's best
traditions. II man does not give tn
the life Of his community he remains
isolated and the lack Of human rela-
tionships dwarfs his very soul,
Fifth, Community Service as a
clearing house for community inter-
ests develops good will not only be-
tween groups but the members of
each group. This indeed is one Of the
chief by-products Of Community,
Service, since thereby the movement

girls present.
The boys and girls arrived at Bat,

and girl was assigned to a company
These companies were conducted Just
like military companies. Each comp
any was marched to its classes by
its captain. The boys and girls stay

instruction was given the girls in

etc. The boys were taught the fol-
lowing subjects: corn, soils, garden
ing, pigs, calves, bee management,
stock Judging, poultry, community
leadership, farm machinery. etc.
The boys and girls also had good
time. At 4:30 every afternoon the
boys were loaded on a truck and
taken to the Community Club swim
ming pool for swim, where they
enjoyed bathing in modern swim
ming pool for over one hour free Of
charge. They also played baseball
every afternoon. The girls went
swimming in the morning, They also
enjoyed games during the day.
Every night there was an enter
tainment at Garig Hall for the Club
members.
There were 23 Parish Stock judy
ing Teams in competition for the
trip to Chicago. Competition was
very keen. There were ten teams
which were exceptionally good. East
Baton Rouge won by close score.
Our team composed of Lloyd Con

Broussard, won eighth place. Consid-
ering that this is Iberia's first stock
we did remarkably well, as
q large number of the boys from the
other parishes were on the teams
last year. Nevertheless, Iberia's team
had chance to win until the last

ence that our boys got this year, we

TELL REASON WHY
RUSSIAN FACTORY
COSTS ARE HHH

Observation-Disclosures charges In
many Russian factories have be-
come so high that the Soviet gov
eminent would now find it cheaper
to import certain manufactured
articles than to make them at
home.
For example, it is said that hAr-
vester machines can be purchased
and transported from Germany, or
even from America, to Russia for
much less than the cost Of produc-
ing them in the plant Of the Inter-
national Harvester company, near
Moscow.
This American factory, one OF
the few industries in Russia that
was not nationalized by the Dol,
sheviki, is one Of the most efficieni
in the country, but its production
cssts per machine manufactured
are almost twice those of the Ger.
man and American plants of the
! company. This is chiefly due to the
high prices Of raw material. bu,
the unusual Russian labor law:
also are an important factor.
T For example. a workman who's
wife is expecting child Is pait
Is percent additional salary fol
nine months. and in the month
when the child is born receive.
still another full months pay. Il
the workman Is supporting . sistel
or a mother or any other woman ii
/ an interesting condition, the sam,
rule applies, while, a feminine en-
ploye receives even more liberia
treatment, amounting to seven full
months extra pay.
