Presidents Social Program
Is Accorded Wide Approval

Much commendation is given to the
Presidents message proposing that
social insurance shall be a future
field for activity under the new deal
Critical analyses of his message to
Congress agree with him that the
objects sought have long been in the
public mind. but more details are
awaited as to the way in which the
obJectives are to be gained.
The cost of unemployment and old
age insurance is the subject of queries.
and interest is aroused in the joining
OF social reform with economic re-
form.

immediate legislation. In explain

he finds 1t necessary to postpone
action on pending legislation for un-

that could come from enacting those

ONE DAY WITH JAMBI IN SU-

delphia: The John c. Winston Co.
Jambi's house in the jungle of
Sumatra is perched on stills and he
has to climb to it by a ladder. The
space under it, which might be called
an open-air cellar, Is occupied by
Wang, the elephant, Jambi's tenant
and best friend. Wang starts Jambi's
day for him by acting as alarm clock
with a funny noise that sounds like
'Kur-umph! Kur-umph!" When this
alarm clock goes off Koko, the
monkey, Jambi's other house COM
panion and friend, stops snoring and
rubs his eyes and then tries to go
to sleep again, but Jambi makes him
get up and take his bath, from a
large earthen crock. for Koko is afraid
to bathe in the river. So the day
begins. The three companions are
soon of through the jungle to the
river. which winds along like a giant

pond to get some fish for his mother
to cook for lunch. then to the rice
fields to help his father. Jambi holds
the pillow and drives the water buffalo
through the thick mud to prepare 1t
for the transplanting of rice plants.
In the afternoon, after his delicious
lunch of gurami (the fish), cooked
with curry and rice and mango sauce,
he hunts turtle eggs, which he takes
to Padang, the old medicine man;
follows a group of warriors into the
Jungle on q tiger hunt, and he and
Wang have a thrilling and victorious
encounter with the tiger. He returns
to the village as a hero and is re-
warded by the Sultan. When he
finally goes tired to bed, after feast
of rice cakes and dates and melons
at the Sultan's palace, he wears, hung
on q cord about his neck, tooth of
