DUBLIN, Sept. 20.-St. Patrick's s reputation as the snake-eXtermin- ator of Ireland, was vindicated to- day when a small reptile, seen on a County Monaghan road, was traced back to motor truck la den with foreign fruit.
 The snake disappeared into a hedge, but as there are no others for it to mate with, it's life will ba lonely and childless.

This is a fallacy we'll known to

Il think that the big damage

the increased element OF danger

UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA NEWS

Tucson, Ariz. Feb.-Formula
ton of a national policy in re
gard to an effective and work
able land utilization program
that will be q definite step to
ward long time adjustment in
America is nearing completion
by the National Use Planning
Com mittee, it has been indicated
by Dr.. Homer Leroy Shantz,
member of the committee.
AS the outcome of an intensive
examination into the problems
of the submarginal areas and the
requisite adjustments the CON
mittee has formulated general
policies that will guide the move
ment.
Basic needs in agriculture. in,
dustry, public and private enter.
prises are the foundation blocks
upon which the readjustment
program rests. It has been EN-
phasized that future national
policies of reservation and &C
quisitation of land should be ad
dressed definitely to the task of
conserving specified natural re
sources, realizing that a better
regional balance in the provision
of public ownership for various
uses will work toward stabilizing
local industries and employment
and provide for various needs of
local populations.
Because of the mutuality of in
terest that exists on the part of
the federal government and the
states it has been suggested that
joint surveys be provided in
order that the most favorab BILE
objectives in regard to land use
may be carried out. 1t would be
determined under the plan
whether an area should be under
state or national supervision and
whether it should be classed as
a park, a forest. game refuge
or other designation. The sur
veys would, furthermore. at
tempt to lay down a basic pat
tern. essentially flexible and sub
ject to notifications as condi
tions change.
The general program recon-
mends that such joint surveys
during the next several years be
devoted to areas where tax do
lipq quency and farm abandonment
are extensive and that they be
aimed at the Improvement of
aconomic conditions in those
areas, giving due consider alton
TO the adaptibility of delinquent
and other associated lands to
public ownership; possible
changes in taxation, fire pro
lection, or other conditions that
would make possible the return
of such lands to private effective
management. and the various
adjustments that would be called
for in case the land is better
adapted for pubic retention and

President Ernest R. Hall of

bills from the standpoint of the
fruit grower and farmer. The
legal phases Of the bills we're
explained. Representatives of
the various industries and inter

their particular groups.
It was stated that the bills, if
enacted into laws, would oe en-

mill tex per ton mile and limit
the loads to trucks to 1000 lbs.
Attention was called 20 the ex

raisers who haul their own pro
ducts to market in their own
trucks.
Mr.. Hall called attention to
the destruction of all lines OF

es in Phoenix. IT these bills
are not passed." he said. the
wholesalers of Phoenix and the
jobbers of Phoenix will have to
turn their businesses over to the

One point of difficulty was
raised today in some of the CON-

might increase the already ex.

"Of course. we can't prove
that it won't until we try" con,
ceded Mr.. Roosevelt. but the
best though is that this move,
ment actually will not increase
agriculture surplus.
You see. we will be removing
some agricultural lands from
operation - the non profita ole
marginal lands. Then, l have
found that the people who go
back to the country eat much
more than when they are in the

Trade Must Flow Into Blue Eagle Stores or
Entire Recovery Scheme, With ~Increas-
ed Pay to Workers, Will Collapse.

Citizens of Salisbury who are
wondering what they should do in
regard to supporting the National
Recovery Administration should
bear in mind that this is an emer-
gency effort to restore buying pow
er to millions of Americans in the
confident expectation that their
purchases will revive industry, start
a flow of goods from manufac-
turer to merchant and accelerate
business of all kinds.
1t is easy for one to find fault
with the details of the plan. Ger
tainly, if those in authority had
been able to devote six months or
more to working out the idea, there
might have been fewer adjustments
needed in order to present a per-
manent plan. However, when it
is evident that the production of
goods in this country was again
VNrriPpins diszriburion and rhak
buying power was tagging to such
an extent as to imperil the jobs of
many workers, it was essential that
no time be lost.
Immediately the Administration
determined to put into effect an
emergency code limiting the hours
Of work for individuals and provid-
ing a minimum wage which in
many cases meant substantial in
creases to laborers. The shortened
hours of work will necessitate the
employment of additional workers
and in the face of a slight business
boom, might NEAR the employment
of millions.
From the standpoint Of the Sails

casual inspection that the shortened
hours given his employees and the
minimum wage in effect will entail
some additional expense and it may
be difficult for some of them, af-
ter the past few years, to take care
of these items without real embar-
rassment. However, in the long
run the uccess of the plan means
improved business and more profits
for them and it will be to their in
