RELIEF Modified
OVER entire u. S.
Head of Hoover Emergency
Body Praises Work of
Local Agencies.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MINNEAPOLIS, June 13.-Fred G.
Croxton, acting chairman OF President
Hoover's Emergency Committee for
Employment, today outlined what he
described as the most comprehensive
mobilization of welfare funds attempted
since World War drives, in anticipation
of relief needs for Fall and Winter.
Addressing the annual conference of
the Association Of Community Chests
and Councils, Croxton said the commit
tee had decided to avail itself of the
recent offer OF the group to accept re-
sponsibility for local relief needs and
pledged its cooperation.
The first step will be national sur
vey of all cities with a population Of
rs, 900 or more to ascertain local needs
and resources for meeting them. In
the Fall a drive for needed funds In
these cities will be conducted stimuli
taneously.
Expects Heavy Demands.
1.-THE Presidents Committee" Crox-
ton said, realizes that whatever is to
be the trend Of business during the
balance of the year, the demand for
relief will be unusually heavy next Fall
and Winter.
Information has already reached us
that the unmet needs for relief during
the Spring and Summer are very urgent
in some localities. Experience has
taught us that primary dependence for
meeting this need must be placed on
local resources, both those of private
charity and those of local government.
1T is evident that there has been no
emergency since the war which has de-
manded the thoughtful help of public
spirited organizations more than that of
the present unemployment situation
and the problems that are growing out
Of 1t.
"Our committee is to continue its
own contacts with State committees,
but because of your long established
contacts with cities throughout the
country, we are turning to you for help
with these communities"
Accepts Challenge"
Frederic r. Kellogg, New York, treas
urer of the conference, accepted what
he described as 1.-The challenge of Mr..
CroXton and the Presidents commit
tee" He said that j. Herberdt Case,
New York, chairman of the board of
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
and president of the conference, would
oOOA NC ASd0y W diiIlOuilCc OSIdueU
schedule of contemplated activities of
the association.
Allen T. Burns, New York, executive
director Of the association, said that
376 cities would fall into the class to be
covered by the survey. In pa of these,
community chests already were pre-
pared, while in the remaining 1872 the
association would offer its services to
coordinate emergency financing bodies.
These coordination efforts would be
directed from the associations head
quarters in New York, he said.

In her voice was a hint of tears and trouble, that ought, she though, to satisfy Beryl that she was on her way to sacrifice herself.
 Prentiss helped her tenderly into his car, his hopes at the moment less buoyant than ever they'd been before.
 They had not driven far before he told her he'd have to know what was on her mind. Irene had been entirely wordless during the drive.
 Its mother" she said, as though with great reluctance. "She thinks we ought to have a fussy wedding. I'm all tired out arguing with her that the sensible thing is for us to be married quietly and go back to Oakdale right away, as your father wants you to-"
 "Then she doesn't object to your marrying me?" Prentiss asked eagerly.
 "Well-she said she'd like us to have a longer engagement"
 II don't believe in long engage ments," Prentiss stated firmly.
 q couldn't have any kind of wedding at all here at home" Irene said wistfully, without inviting IlOTueS UT peOplc. we hIoW CNSiy- one in town"
 Prentiss had visions of such an occasion. Can't we be married all by ourselves?" he asked.
 "I think that would be the love- Hest way" Irene agreed.

with enough feeling to satisfy them. Perhaps they were both so sure that she would like the beau tiful little cake that they did not weigh her praise at all. Tn maitre d'hotel tasted the cake with them and then went back to tell his confreres that "the young Monsieur Gaylord had married the most charming young lady in theese world" ct was Galilc and gallant exaggeration, but it reflected the sincerest opinion of the bridegroom, if not quite the maitre d'hotel.)
 And when the bride said she would like to go home and break the news to her family he had no other thought than to comply with her wish. It seemed to Prentiss a thoughtful and considerate sug- gestion. For his part, of course, he'd rather take her away in stantly and keep her to himself, but she'd been wonderful to put his interests above all else and marry him without having one of her friends, or a member of her family, present at the ceremony. He owed her much for that.
 As they left the table she said: "Td like to telephone Mama before we start"
 Prentiss offered to do this for her, but Irene insisted she must do the talking herself. As she hoped, Beryl answered.

Y'oUR CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Barton
9!ss! sY NEA SERVICE INC:

Uncle Sam tells city mothers in one of his reports how to go about seeking medical advice for their ba- bies. The report reads:
 Taking care of baby is made more difficult for the city mothers by overcrowded houses, lack of fresh air, sunshine, and open spaces for play and outdoor life. This is particularly true in hot weather.
 During the summer months in most of the larger cities there is an enormous increase in sickness among babies, many of whom fail to survive this period. These we'll known facts have led to the estab- lishment in many cities of what are known as health centers. These rooms are in charge of trained nurses and physicians, and any mother who desires may bring her baby for examination and advice. Nurses are sent out from these sta ticns to teach and advise mothers in their homes.
 Close Observation
 "The object of these centers is to keep babies well by watching them closely and by teaching the mothers how to take care of them. If 8 baby is found to be sick the mother is referred to her own physician, If she has one. If not, she usually is sent to a dispensary.
 "The principal factor in keeping the baby we'll is to have him prop erly fed. Accordingly. the physician who cares for the baby should direct this very carefully. If the mother has no physician, the station doctor will examine the baby and order diet for him. The nurse assists the mother in following out his direc- tions, and visits her in her home for this purpose. These stations are sometimes maintained by the city and sometimes by a private society. The mother can find out the location Of the station nearest her home by inquiring at the city health office.
 "The country mother Is now able, in many places, to have the help and advise of a county or commun- ity public health nurse. Frequent health consultations, held at fairs or at the county seat, or in other cen- ters, as we'll as the travelling clinic and consultation car, all are penen- cial agencies which are becoming more and more usual in rural dis- tricts of many states"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-06-23

a. child who sees big platetr of cakes.
 Don't you think we ought to get the wedding ring now" she breathed softly.
 "Im glad you thought of it," Prentiss told her, and turned into a side street at the next corner.
 Buying the wedding ring natur- ally led to buying an engagement ring. Irene was disappointed over the size of the solitaire.. She wished she hadn't been so hasty, telling herself she might have known that Prentiss' funds would be low at the end of a vacation. reached Oakdale she'd have been able to order what she wanted. Prentiss surely would let her have accounts wherever she liked. Well, an engagement ring was only the beginning.
 She wasn't quite so affectionate the rest of the way to city hall as she had been before they bought the rings, but Prentiss though her slight withdrawal from his side the result of increasing shyness, and loved her the more for it.
 | Presently her pique vanished, dis pelled by the golden promise of the future that lay before her. She was radiant enough during the marriage to satisfy Prentiss that she loved him. He kissed her with everyone watching, not the wedding kiss, but another. Irene was thinking that she must get an armful of orchids-yes an armful-- to take home. They would help to impress Beryl.
 The two witnesses to whom Prem tiss had telephoned from the jewellers accompanied them up town for lunch. They were young men who were employed at the hotel where Prentiss had been stay ing.
 At the end of the meal the maitre d'hotel brought in a tiny gem of a wedding cake, decorated with real old-fashioned garden pinks placed delicaetely among hte icing flowers.
 Prentiss had ordered the cake for just the two of them, but Irene was again disappointed. Why couldn't he have had something that they could take home for her mother to show to all her friends! She looked at the cake and barely suppressed a sniff. That thing! Everyone would laugh at it. Why, even Clara Dannigelli, whose father was only a night watchman on North Shore estate, had g. cake a foot high, with a bell on it and arti- ficial orange blossoms that could hardly be told from real.
 Irene lowered her face and looked at her rings. The engage ment ring affronted. her anew and she felt her temper slipping, but 1t would never do to show how she felt. She had sense enough to real ize this and both Prentiss and the maitre d'hotel were waiting for some expression of approval from her.
 She swallowed hard and looked up at them. "It's lovely" she said
