HOOVER CALLS
BUILDER HEADS
First Trade Study Week
Ends Saturday With
Many Heard

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-CF9-
Men who guide the instrumental
tiles Of American building we're
added today 10 the list of represent
tative groups consulted By PreSid-
ent Hoover In working out his plans
for sustaining and increasing Am
erican prosperity.
Through an expansion Of private
and governmental building, the
Chief Executive hopes TO accomp-
Esh many OF the results he has fix
ed as the detectives of his present
program, and he sought the CO.
operation OF leaders OF the build
ing industry as a vital factor OF
his campaign.
Manufacturing OF lumber pro-
ducts, cement and bricks. general
contractor, road builders and Of
ficials OF building trade ~Crganiza-
tions were called to the White
House for the fifth OF the series
of conferences on current eco omic
conditions begun by the President
early in the week.
10 was one week ago tc5ay that
Mr.. Hoover made the first an
nounceme1t Of his plans, and -lnce
then his program has taken shape
rapidly, through his consultations
with the leaders Of American econ
cmic enterprise and the announce
ment or steps by which govern
mental agencies seek to help il the
advancement OF the general pro-
ject.
The most recent development was
publication OF word that industrial
leaders and labor spokesman had
agreed to a continuance of pre-
sent wage levels as one means OF
assuring the continuity and stabi-
lily Of employment. This came
late yesterday, after Mr.. Hoover
had conferred separately with a
group OF men representing firms
which employ millions Of workers
and with high officials OF organ
lied labor.
The announcement was summed
up in a formal White House state
ment which said the employers had
authorized the President to say on
their behalf. individually, that no
movement for wage reduction will
be initiated and to recommend
that this policy be adopted by en-
ployers the nation over.
In addition IL set forth that the
labor leaders had authorized Mr..
Hoover to say that in their opinion
mo movements beyond those al
ready III negotiation should be in
itiated for increases of wages and
that every cooperation should be
given by labor To industry In the
handling OF its problems"

JUDGE DANCY MAKES REPORT
ON HIGHWAY EXPENDITURES

Judge o. G. Dancy, in a letter
received today makes the follow
ing report on highway work:
TO The Press:
Before launching our fifth mil
lion I feel 1t proper to take the
people into our confidence aS to our
stewardship on the first four mil
lion.
we have a total OF 1879 miles
OF concrete road I'm the county, OF
which. however. 7-29 miles are nine
It. pavement. This Is at Los Fres-
nos. and I hope that every citizen
Of the county will make It a point
TN the next few months I'D drive
over this road and see for himself
that IL gets the farmer out of the
mud, although no one would con-
tend that 1t ~ as good as a full
width road.
II enclose a letter from the
County Engineers office which
shows the expenditure TO date out
OF the 100000 bond issue.
Tax Rate Unchanged
we have, however. heretofore
put into the construction fund ap-
proximately So, 900 comprising &C
crued interest and premium on Sc
ries "A, "B" and &C" the first
three million. We have agreed TO
keep the county tax rate down TO
$50, which means that this mon
ey will be deducted from the sale
of the fifth and sixth million and
put into the interest and sinking
fund.
1T costs amout $1,000 per mile
for the first class grading and
structures. which means that we
have spent about 100000 for that
class Of work
On second class roads,
where we use corrugated iron pipe,
the cost IS about S1.500 per mile,
making about $122.000 for that
class of road.
Then on the third class road we
have only spent about $500 per
mile .
"All this makes a total sum OF
about $4,000 spent for grading
and structures.
$~3,335,000 Expended
Then take the money received
from the state and the money TO
be returned from the fifth and
sixth million, which shows that we
have spent just about $3.S35,000 in

They're Miserable Heirs
Good heavens. what will become

speaking about the second fortune.
Before last year we were living
happy lives but we have known
nothing but discomfort and agony
since wealth came to u.s." The good
woman wiped her eyes.
I'VE like to live comfortably, but
not pretentiously," she explained.
THE very day the newspapers print
ed the news of our first fortune We
received SC kilograms and zoo per-
sons called on US. The next day the
mailman brought two sacks of beg
ging letters.
Where We had been living in
peace. trouble came into our lives.
We moved. but beggars pursued US.
Blackmailers tn reatcned our lives.
We lost most of our dearest friends.
Our good life was gone. Over a hun
dred men asked for my daughters
hand. and she was already married.
Now Just as We were getting
some place at last by people for
getting about US and We We're no
longer regarded as curiositics, this
rev misfortune strikes US. Twels e
million dollars from Australia-oh,
dear me, what shall we do? Our
troubles will commence all over
again, and, anyway, what can We do
with all that money!"
And in the worried faces of
mother and daughter there was not

the body is prepared for break

Don't swamp your children in

Teach them to face realities both

Never indulge in depressing emo
