Countrywide
MEETING FOR
RELIEF WORK

All persons and representatives of
organizations interested in relief
work, are urged by Dr.. n. E. Du-
pont, county relic: chairman, to at
tend a meeting which he has called
for Thursday night at 7:30 in the
courthouse.
The purpose of the meeting, the
chairman explained, is to adopt
ways and means for carrying on re-
lief work in the county under a new
regulation announced recently by
Harry Hopkins, federal relief ad-
ministrator.
Under this regulation federal re-
lief funds cannot be devoted direct
ly to private organizations for the
purchase of relief supplies. The
money must be distributed by a
public organization, the admins
traitor has ruled, and it is Dr.. Du-
pont S in;ention to conform to this
ruling, while at the same time he
is hoping that some plan can be
worked out whereby cooperation
with the private organizations will
still be maintained.
The chairman is deSirous of hav-
ing an expression from all county
relief agencies and asks that they
be represented at the meeting.
Dr.. Dupont also announced that
the status of future state highway
relief work is somewhat uncertain,
as he has been unable to obtain
definite information on his program
from Earl Lee Kelley, director of
public works.
In view OF this he urges men who
have been working on highway re-
lief, to register for the public works
program. This can 5e done at the
RFC office maintained at the court
house with Harold Lounsbury in
charge, arrangements having been
made to register applicants for work
at that place.
Men who have been making ap-
plication for work at DR.. Dupont IS
office are asked to go to the court
house instead and register for work
under the federal public works pro-
gram.

over August Of last year, w. A

group with 81 per cent Of this mar
ket. This represented a 100 per
cent gain in performance in its
price group as compared to the
same period last year.
The increasing popularity of Pom
tiac-now the worlds largest SELL

the fact that according to registra-

The custom as regards divorce is
totally different In the Isle OF Man

divorce law, but when a man or
woman seeks to annul his or her
marriage the whole procedure has to
be observed of getting special Dill

Terse Explanation of
Number 40" in History

Forty Is one of the greatest num-
bers to juggle with. 1t turns up In
peculiar ways In the earliest records
Of mankind. Why human beings
picked on the number 40 Is not very
clear but 1t probably grew out OF
the fact that In primitive times a
person could figure up to 10 by coun-
Ing all his fingers, he could extend
this to 90 by also counting his toes
(which of course were not covered
with shoes) and that two persons
striking bargain could count up to
40 by including all the fingers and
toes they had between them. Above
that number they would have to en-
gage In flights of higher mathematics
and they could not do that.
The number 40 occurs In number
less traditions, superstitlons. rules
and laws. The rain which Noah and
his family were saved from lasted 40
days and 40 nlghts-also the sacred
fasts which Moses and Elijah had.
Forty years was the period Of the
wanderings of the Children Of Israel
In the desert. The spies spent 40
days prospecting In the Promised
Land. Forty days was the period de-
voted In ancient times to the burial
OF the dead. Jonah gave the people
OF NIneveh 40 days In which to heed
us warnings and repent.-Pa thfnder
