TWO FINANCING
PLANS FOR PUBLIC
WORK SUBMITTED
[Continned from First Paael

from date of issue upon 80 days no
tice. The interest charges would be
paid from revenue now used for
paying interest on highway bonds.
The sinking fund to take care of the
bonds at maturity would be created
by diverting to such fund the reve-
nue. from the State Liquor Control
Commission.
The administration at first pro-
posed to borrow $2,500,000 from the
school fund and then changed this
plan to one providing for loan of
$1,50O,000 from the school fund and
authorizing the State Board of Edu-
cation to divert $1,000,000 from the
school fund to special fund to be
used to finance a school building
program throughout the State.
The other new plan offered was
incorporated in bill introduced by
Representative Hopkins. This would
authorize the borrowing of $780,
900 from the school fund at per
cent interest. 1t also would create
a commission to have sole charge OF
the disbursements from this fund
and named as members of this COM
mission Governor C. Douglass Buck,
Secretary of State Charles H. Grant
land, State Treasurer George C..
Williams, State Tax Commissioner
Pierre S. DUPONT and former Judge
William H. Boyce, of Dover.
The Scott measure, which was de-
feated Friday, was restored to the
calendar on motion of Representa-
tive Rees.
Although the administrations
plan for financing works program,
which was incorporated in bill in
troduced. in the Senate by Senator
Van SAINT, was defeated Monday af-
ternoon, a part of the program as
favored by the Republican majority
members of the Senate, was passed
by that body. This was the bill in
troduced by Senator Simonton to
authorize the State Board of Edu-
cation to use $1,000,000 of the
school fund for a Statewide school
building program. This required
only a majority vote, and was passed
10 to 6, Senator Hart, Democrat,
voted with the nine Republicans in
favor of the act. The other six DEM
ocrats opposed the measure. Senator
Steen, Democrat, was absent.
These several measures embody-
ing the plans of the Democrats and
Republicans for the financing of a
works program show the reason for
the deadlock between the Senate
and House over the source from |
which is to be secured the money |
for such a program. The Van SAINT |
and Simonton bills represent the |
program as proposed by the admin
istration. The Van Solver bill also
is an administration measure which
is acceptable to the Republicans in
case the Van SAINT and Simonton
bills cannot be passed. The Hopkins
bill also is said to be an admins
tration measure intended as another
offer, although it was
introduced by a Democrat. The
Scott bill defeated Friday and re-
stored Monday incorporates the
Democratic plan.

WHAT'S HAPPENING In
THE RURAL SCHOOLS

Two thousand and sixteen rural
schools in the United States failed
to open last September as the third
year of the economic depression
shrunk tax collections or drained
them into political, public relief, or
public works channels. A total of
1,025,000 children in rural areas
alone are paying for the present
financial breakdown by no educa-
tional opportunities at all, or by
greatly reduced school terms and
curtailed school services.
The number of rural children
against which the school doors are
shut this fall is 11O,S00. This is
more children than there are en-
rolled in the entire public school
system of the entire state of Ari-
zona, according to the National Edu-
cation Association, which has just
announced these figures after
nationwide study of what is happen
ing today in the rural schools.
Salaries have been reduced to a
point where teachers are no longer
able to maintain the standard of liv-
ing expected of them, according to
the associations report. Approx
mately half the rural teachers in the
nation will receive less income for
the year 1933-34 than President
Roosevelt's blanket code prescribes
for factory hands. Many teachers
salaries are less than half the min
imum prescribed for unskilled labor.
An annual income of less than $500
is not unusual.
The financial situation of the
schools is as bad, or worse, in the
larger cities than it is in the rural
areas. Teachers in some of the larg-
est cities have been unpaid for
months. More than S40,000,000 is
now owed in back salaries to teach
ers who are carrying on solely be-
cause they cannot see children suffer
a loss which will handicap them
throughout life.
A survey of city school conditions
announced by the United States Of
fee of Education shows that one out
of every four cities has shortened
its school term. Due to lack of avail
able funds the schools of 700 typi-
cal cities have curtainel their edu-
cational offering as follows: 81 re-
duced art instruction-36 eliminated
it; 110 reduced the music program
30 eliminated it; 81 reduced the
physical education work-29 elimin-
ated it; IS reduced home economics
work-19 eliminated it; 5S reduced
industrial are instruction-24 elm
mated it; SO reduced health service
-22 eliminated it.
There are 100000 unemployed
teachers; 1S,6OO fewer teachers are
employed in city schools today than
in 1881. At the same time, school
has increased more than
half a million. Glasses have been
so that in many schools

A THANKSGIVING SURPRISE
1 was sitting in a tavern

l was sitting in a tavern
On a cold Thanksgiving night,
When a scene l well remember
Was impressed upon my sight.
Twas country place, you know, sir,
Where was only one good store,
So the keeper of the tavern
Kept some groceries near the door.
He could show you a good bed, sir,
And your mouth with grog could
wet;
Tea and coffee he could sell you
But my story you must get.
Through the door a woman entered,
She was dreadful poor, l guess,
For her shawl was thin as nettin',
And she wore a freezin' dress.
She was followed in minute
By a beastly looking man,
Whom she spoke to sort O. sparin'
And l think she called him Dan.
That old brute he brushed past her
To the bar for "suthin good"
While his woman, poor old martyr,
Stood it all the best she could.
When he'd drank for two whole
shillin,
And his lips he'd fairly dried,
He stalked over to the counter
That was on the other side.
"Give me some O. that terbaccer,
That what's called old Yankee
Plug
It's six chillin', did ye say, sir?
Almost big enough to hug!"
Here the wife, with timid pleadings
Asked if she might buy a shawl,
She was really sort of handsome,
Finely formed, night six feet tall!
When she asked him -forthegarment,
(Just eight shillings was the price,
His old eyes shot forth hot lightning,
Though his voice was cold as ice.
what, old woman, buy that gar
ment!
Times are pretty middlin' hard,
So 1 guess you'll have to stand it
Don't you think she will, old
pard?"
This was talked to me, now mind
you,
And looked him in the eye,
And I SAYS to him, "OId fellow,
You amt fit to live or die.
"Here you've gone and spent eight
shillin'
For some stuff that you don't need,
While your woman, dear old creature,
Wears old clothes that's gone to
seed.
I'm no preacher. l can tell you,

NEXT SESSION OF
CONGRESS LIKELY

sion will be short. In reviewing the
prospective calendar, including new
liquor taxes and regulation of Ii
quor sales, revision of the entire
Federal revenue structure and am
endatory legislation to the emer-
gency program enacted last Spring,
they concede 1t may continue until
midsummer.
Besides the st. Lawrence water
way treaty with Canada, to be press
ed by Mr.. Roosevelt, the Senate must
act on hundreds of recess appoint
ments to important Federal posts,
including the designation of Will
liam C. Bullitt as Ambassador to
Soviet Russia.
Because of pressing domestic and
international problems, Mr.. Roose-
welt has had little opportunity to
formulate a legislative program for
the January session.
But with the voting of prohibition
repeal, the administration has placed
imposition of reasonable levies on
alcoholic beverages at the top of the
legislative calendar. The aim is to
bring in as much revenue as possible
and, at the same time, to drive out
the bootlegger.

from the total that they paid out last
year. This money is released in
time for the holiday buying, and is
a welcomed asset to those thrifty
persons who have taken advantage
of the three clubs in Milford.
In a survey just completed, sup
porting the estimate for this year,
bankers uniformly express the opin-
ion that the Christmas Club, has
made an excellent showing in view
of present conditions and that it
will offer an outstanding contribu-
tion to stabilizing business activi-
ties in the approaching pre-holiday
season.
The survey shows, too, an in
creased use of the Christmas Club
as a convenient and easy method of
accommodating funds for many nee
essary expenditures other than nor
NAL holiday requirements. such as
taxes, insurance premiums, and
mortgage interest and bankers see
in this application a trend to a lar
ger Christmas Club distribution
next year.
The inception of the Christmas
Club idea, twenty-three years ago,
anticipated the need for providing
an easy, simple and practical meth
cd Of Systematically accommodating
funds for the specific purpose of
Christmas needs, but it has devel-
oped real aid to permanent thrift

tions. The price ranges above $50
western New York and Michigan.
City markets quote from $30-$40 per
ton. Prices per 100 pounds ad-
vanced so cents in some markets
during the first half of November.
Onion Market Strengthens
The condition of the onion market
J is Strengthening somewhat since the
beginning of the month but the price
range is irregular, showing a few
small losses as well as gains. Cold
weather has helped the demand a
little. Shipments were increasing
in western New York and the de-
mand showed signs of improvement,
although prices remained close to
recent levels, but 5-10 cents higher
as compared with early in the month.
Michigan markets strengthened
slightly. The large cities were mod
erately supplied. Yellow onions
have advanced 5-10 cents per so
pounds in some markets since the
first part of the month.
Celery Holdings Light
Net holdings of celery in storage
in New York City have decreased
moderately since the first week of
November and about 100000 crates
were on hand the middle of the
month, although supplies are sharp
ly reduced compared with year
ago. Demand continues slow and
prices are around So per two-thirds
crate at shipping points. Dealers
were expecting more active cOndi-
tions before the holiday but Califor-
mia celery is offering severe compe-
tition this season, the quality being
good and supplies rather liberal.
Prices of New York and Michigan
celery per two-thirds crate range
from $1.75-$225 in eastern markets.
Considerable quantities of Big
Boston lettuce are still arriving
from New Jersey but most of this
stock is of ordinary quality and
prices in city markets range from
$3.50 cents per crate of two dozen.
The market strengthened little
after the middle of the month in re-
sponse to rising prices of California
lettuce which exceeded $4 per crate
in some markets.
Apple Markets Fairly Steady
The apple crop is about all har-
vested and under cover and recent
trading in producing sections was
largely in commercial grades, cider
and canning stock, the best fruit be- |
ing stored away. The snow and cold |

after the main crop. Most |
of the good fruit being offered in
the Shenandoah Valley is from cold |
selling at firm prices around |
$1.35 per 100 pounds for Staymans /
and $1.15 for Yorks. Some lots of I
brought 81 per barrel and !
large Yorks brought $3.50. Green
ings in the Michigan apple districts
sold at $1.10, and Baldwins at 1886
cents and Greetings at $1.20. East
ern city apple markets were ir-
regular without much change in the
general prevailing jobbing level of
75c-$1.50 per bushel.

western markets.
Milford chronicle., 1933-11-24

Supplies for the holiday season
helped increase carlot shipments of
fruits and vegetables the first half
of November by about per cent
compared with the receipts at the
end of last month, and the gain was
about one-fourth compared with the
shipments year ago. Increases
were heaviest for potatoes, grapes,
and citrus fruits. Southern vege-
tables are increasing moderately in
supply and declining in price. The
condition of truck crops in southern
producing sections is reported mod
erately below average as a rule, but
the acreage of some lines is greater
this season. Apple shipments are de-
creasing fast. Prices have tended
upward so far this month for cab
bage, onions, lettuce, and sweet po-
tatoes. Other leading lines of pro-
duce were mostly irregular or un-
settled in price.
Potato Market Irregular
During the slight market unsettle-
ment which followed the November
increase of 100000 bushels in esti-
mated production, the price reached
the lowest levels of the season in
leading eastern producing sections,
but mid-western and western ship
ping points reported firm price con-
ditions, holding recent gains. Prices
per 100 pounds, in carlOts, were
about the same in Wisconsin and
Maine potato sections at 81 or slight
ly more, while Michigan prices ad-
vanced rather sharply in mid-No-
vember reaching $1.1S-$1.2O. Ne
braska country markets advanced
cents, and steady to firm prices pre-
vailed in the far west.
Potato growers at many points age
still holding for higher prices. Some
stock was reported not keeping well
in growers cellars because of pre-
vious warm weather or immaturity.
Growers in New York potato sections
were reported hauling in only light
quantity because of market condi-
tions. They were getting about so
cents per bushel in bulk. Michigan
potato growers were getting 1890
cents per 100 pounds in bulk ana
Maine growers around $1.50 per bar
rel. Carlot movements in the en-
tire country continue light seldom
exceeding 600 carloads per day.
Chicago potato market has lost
5-10 cents per 100 pounds from the
highest points of the month on Wis
consin stock but other lines of po-
tatoes have held fairly well. East
ern markets are irregular and not
far from the lowest prices of the
season. Supplies are moderate but
demand slow. Maine Green Noun ,
tains follow jobbing range of $1.50-
$1.75 per 100 pounds, and New York,
Pennsylvania, and New Jersey stock
sells at $125-$1.40, with few tops
of $1.50 or more.
Sweet Potatoes Higher
The market on sweet potatoes has
been advancing quite steadily this j
month, with many gains of 1925 |
cents per bushel or barrel in eastern |
cities. Delaware and Maryland
sweets of the Jersey type sell at
5Oc-$1 per bushel. Some New Jer-
sey stock reached $1.75 in Chicago.
Nancy Halls advanced rs cents per
bushel in several mid-western mar
kets. Red yams we're up about 10
cents per bushel in New York and
Boston.
Sharp Price Gains for Cabbage

THANKSGIVING

Let us be thankful-not alone be-
cause
Since last our universal thanks
were told
We have grown greater in the
worlds applause,
And fortunes newer smiles sur
pass the old.
But thankful for all things that
come as aims
From out the open hand of provi-
dence-
The winter clouds and storms-the
Summer calms-
The sleepless dread-the browse
of Incidence.
Let us be thankful-thankfu for the
prayers
Whose gracious answers were long,
long delayed,
That they might fall upon us un-
awares,
And bless us, as in greater need
we prayed.
Let us be thankful for the loyal
hand
That love held out in welcome to
our own,
When love, and only love could un-
derstand
The need of touches we had never
known.
Let us be thankful for the longing
eyes
That gave their secret to us as
they wept,
Yet in return found, with sweet
surprise,
Loves touch upon their lids, and
smiling slept
And let us, too, be thankful that the
tears
OF sorrow have not all been
drained away,
That through them still, along the
coming years
We may look on the dead face Of
today.
