IL women working ever stop to
consider that the extra money they
earn, helps employ someone to do
things they do not have time to
do? Personally, 1 send my laundry
out-except for a few items-and
that helps the laundry business; 1
have a cleaning woman once week
and she. needs the money. Recently
she told me mine was the only reg
ular" place she has left and she has
an invalid husband.
When q woman is in business it
requires more clothes-and haven't
we been told to buy and buy and
help business activity in other lines
of work? Incidentally, clothes have
to be dry cleaned, and ask any Wom-
an working in an Office how many
trips her dresses make to the clean
ers.
also patronize the neighborhood
bake shop where the little woman is
trying to make an honest living in
the line for which she is fitted. 1t
is not charity" either, for she is a
good cook and her wares are worth
the price asked. These are just a
few Of the items in an ever widen
ing circle. We also help clothe some
nieces and nephews.
MY husband and I are buying our
home, on our combined salaries. A
little investigation on the part Of
people who continually pirate about
the married woman should be in
the home" would show that there
is good and sufficient reason for her
outside employment.

T WOULD like to know if some
i people are entitled to receive re-
lief baskets and still drive autos
every day. I guess that the inves-
tigator was told that the car didn't
belong to the beneficiary, but if the
truth were looked into and the title
looked up, they would see who owns
1t.
I believe in helping the poor, but
not in this case. Many poor people
with children need help and are not
able to get it, when the case have
in mind and others like this receive
favors.

ELECTION is. over and the people
IL are becoming acclimatized to
the results. Hard feelings and Bit
terness must leave their minds If
we are to accomplish anything in
the future.
Such articles as appeared in the
Nov. 10 edition of your paper under
the you Say 1t" column comes
only from a poisoned mind and
must go. Quoting from this article,
when President Hoover returns to
England, resumes his citizenship
and is knighted for his loyal job of
wrecking the United States" 1t is
such people as the writer of the
above quoted article who are re-
sponsible in large measure for the
slowing up of the progress of this
nation.
May I take this opportunity to
congratulate The Times on the car
toon which appeared on the edito-
rial page of that paper OH this same
date, depicting the average man
kicking Bitterness and Hatred" out
the door with the passing of the
campaign. This is the constructive
view to assume on this occasion.
Let us all forget party affiliations
and all lend hand to recovery.

NOW that the election is ovel
IN and the mud has begun to dry
up, let's settle down to the task o.
taking a little better care of the un-
fortunate families of our no NEAR
city. 1t has been common talk thai
there has been graft in the system
now in vogue of supplying gro
ceries to the poor.
1t seems to me that the sensible
thing for the county to do is tt
start a commissary of its own, anc
take the contracts away from the
privately owned grocery stores.
am sure there is room in some
county, state or city building thai
could be used for storage. Every
one knows that you can buy cheap.
er in large quantities, so let's cut
the graft and the middleman anc
give our poor families decent food
and enough Of it to keep them from
hunger.
ALWAYS A TIMES BOOSTER.
