"For the past three years l have
lived a horrible life. There has been
nothing the matter with me except that
l have been scared stiff. After three
years of fright, during which none of
the things was afraid of happened, it
is high time changed and began to
live like normal human being once
more.
"My salary was cut, yes, but it real
ly wasn't very serious, and can GER
tainly still live pretty we'll, and a lot
better than have been living lately.
81 propose to start living here and
now-today!
'In my closet there are two busi-
ness SUITS. One is too badly worn for
any man in my position to wear it at
all. 1t will go to some one who really
needs it. The other | can wear when
do odd jobs around the house., Pm
going to buy two new suits, and wear
them on alternate days, for that's the
way to get the best wear out of them
I'm going to buy an overcoat and hat,
too.
"My shirts have fringes on the
cuffs. My underwear is patched, and
my darned socks are ugly and uncom-
Portable. My shoes have been half
soled, and the uppers are cracked. I
am buying an entire new outfit, and
my old things are going where they will
do some real good. Pm going to stop
being ashamed of my appearance.
"My wife needs dresses, underwear,
shoes, hats, gloves I've given her the
cash to buy them with. Get every
thing you need I told her, nothing
more and nothing lessp
"The hving-room rug is a sight.
Out it goes, and in comes a new one.
The sofa needs repair and recovering.
It's going to be DONE We need new
curtains, new napkins, new towels,
Imperial Valley press., 1932-12-23

even new sheets. Did you ever sleep on
patched sheets? Never again!
"My old automobile has $4,000 miles
on it, and the best you can say for it is
it still runs. The paint is dull and
Clipped, the nickel is rusty, the uphol-
stery stained and worn threadbare, and
there are enough rattles and squeaks
to amuse all the babies from now to
kingdom come. Every few hundred
miles some annoying little repair costs
me from so cents to $500. 1t nearly
burnt me up one night because the in
sulation had worn off wire, causing
short circuit. Pm going to buy new
car because l need it and want it and
because | can AFFORD it.
"My old radio still works, but l
know that during the past three years
there have been big improvements.
The new radios sound lot better, look
better, are easier to work, and they
give you more stations. There's new
radio coming to our house.
'Im going to buy the books I have
been wanting to read Pm going to
see the shows want to see. I'm going
to buy everything | need and can really
afford
"And Pm going to contribute gen.
erously to the unemployed, because,
like most Americans, l want to help
people in distress.
1t all comes down to this-I am go
ing to live the kind of life am entitled
to lead. In living that life | am aiding
others, directly and indirectly, to live
their own lives by helping to provide
them with the money and work they
need.
I'm through with being depressed
in body and soul. From now on, see
my smile and WATCH MY DUSTp

COUNTY RELIEF
GROUP IN DRIVE
FOR JOBS
Committees Policy Is to- Find
Work for Family Heads;
Will Create Work

All Montgomery county resi-
dents needing EMPLOYEES of
any kind, are urged by the un-
employment relief committee
to telephone the Social Service
League, at Rockville 1T.
The present policy of the COM
mittee is to find work for the
heads of needy families, even if
Jobs must be created, rather than
dole out groceries.
Placement of men in jobs on
as extensive a basis as was done
last year will not be possible
unless fresh resources can be
tapped, according to George w.
Davis. of Silver Spring, chairman
of the committee.
In a recent study of needs and
resources of the State Of Mary
land. made Under the auspices Of
the Maryland State Conference of
Social Work and presented to the
governor for his consideration,
the Montgomery county unem-
ployment relief plan was cited
as a model for other counties
in co-ordinating their relief giving
and in reducing duplication of
effort and overhead operations.

.PRICE BOOSTING THRIFT DELAYS
MOVE PLANNED. .DEE'S RE TURN

Commodity price-boosting cor.
porations may be formed in all
Federal Reserve districts, follow,
ing a move in that direction in
New York city.
Secretary Mills and Gov.
Eugene Meyer, of the Federal
Reserve Board, who promoted the
formation of special committees
of business men in all districts,
were said today to be interested
in the formation Of large cor
porations to promote orderly mar
keting of commodities.
Meyer in a conference with
New York bankers proposed the
organization of a S5O,O00,0O cor
poration designed to boost com
modify prices through loans to
individuals and corporations, en-
abling them to build up raw ma
terial inventories.
Corporations of this character
probably would be eligible for
loans from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, which is
authorized to make loans to
financially sound corporations
which would carry and market
agricultural commodities in an
orderly fashion.

In an effort to expedite relief

of the Board of Public Welfare,
John Marshall Place and C Strete
Northwest, will be closed to addi.
tional applications tomorrow and
Sunday.
Leroy A. Halbert, administrator
of the fund, explained that the
order refusing further applica-
tions until Monday is intended
to bring quicker relief to the
2,600 applications already filed.
Mr.. Halbert explained that the
office of the committee has been
so swamped with applications
that there are more than can be
interviewed and helped immedi-
ately. He predicted that the rush
for applications will subside with
in the next week and, accordingly,
asked the Red Cross to furnish

MIDDLEBURG, Va, Aug. S.
Complications in the sale and
purchase of a race horse are re-
vealed in court action brought
against John Hay Whitney. inter
nationally known sportsman.
Whitney was sued by Roger

interest from July 13, 1880, for
the sale of Ethelred, race horse.
Whitney. he said, contracted to
pay $4,000 in cash for the horse.
If Ethelred won a race for Whit
ney. the latter was to pay $1,000
additional. If Ethelred won a
$4,000 purse for Whitney, the lat
ter was to pay $4,000 additional.
