L. Payne, Republican leader and
head of an investment house, says ::
Many people howl over the debt
incurred by the relief program,
but this is necessary work which
must be done"
The Knoxville taxpayer has little
complaint about relief costs. He is
pleased with the Government
spending program in the Tenness see

age taxpayer is not thinking much
about the cost of relief,
Miss Lillian Robbins, New YORK
City welfare leader, thinks it would
be wiser to spend more money for
relief now, rather than on prisons,
hospitals and crime prevention
later.
There as a feeling among Bir-
mingham taxpayers that work re-
lief should supplant direct relief.
More relief funds will be available
if the next Legislature votes a sales
tax.

relief to a self-supporting status by
lending them money to buy farm
equipment and livestock and to re-
pair or build homes. Such a pro-

its opponents argue, is cheaper in
the end.
Such indirect Government aid to

Despite the protests against IN
creased Government spending for
relief, and the criticisms of relief
administration, those not on the
dole have little to offer in the way
of remedy.
Relief workers generally favor
more work relief. They admit it's
higher cost, but cite many advan-
tageS.
Employables on relief, almost to a
man, live from day to day on the
hope that they soon will be given an
opportunity to so something useful

The future course of Government
relief will not be announced until

being mapped by the President and
his advisers on the basis of this
years experience.

BY ROBERT s. BROWN
Times Special Writer

WARRINGTON. Dec. 1a.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Congress today
hold the Immediate anwser TO the
relief problem.
A year ago the President an
swered the challenge by pouring
$500 100000 into relief channels for
wages on CWA work projects. CWA
cost that much before it was dis
continued in the spring.
Today the cry for wages as
against direct relief has increased
Private capital admits it can not
supply the need. From New York
to San Francisco the hope for work
among the relief millions rests
largely on public works employment.
Dispatches from Washington fore
casting huge appropr atoms have
stimulated the morale of the en-
playable unemployed.
But there is a new voice present
this year, not heard at the time
CWA was born-the voice of the
man who pays the taxes. He has
preparation to supply employment.
He is critical of present relief costs,
and watches with fear the rise in
the national debt.
F. A. Seiberling, Akron rubber
manufacturer, voiced this typical
big business opinion:
Taxpayers Are Aroused
The quicker we can get back to
administration of relief through
community agencies the better off
we will be. OF course these are ex-
traordinary times. There must be
Federal help now, but the commun-
ity relief idea is the right one"
Protest against additional relief
spending above the actual cost of
maintaining life is finding its way
into the correspondence of leading
industrialists to their divisional
headquarters. Oklahoma City re-
ports that the campaign of Wall
Street to "cut down" has made its
appearance. In Pennsylvania tax
payers lobby" Announces that it will
open an office in the state capital
to protect" property owners who
now bear 85 per cent of the states
share of relief costs.
Relief levies in nearly all large
cities of Ohio were defeated at the
November election. In desperation
a special session of the Legislature
approved sales tax to raise reve-
nue. for relief and schools. The Ohio
situation is partly due to reduction
of tax limitations on real estate
from IS to 10 mills.
Gavin Payne Quoted
In San Diego, leading insurance
man says: We can't go on with the
present work relief program. Our
taxes will eat us up"
Not all business men, however,
share this view.

Akron Chamber of Commerce. saws:

THE CHRISTMAS Clubs

For nearly a year people all over
the country have been tucking away
sums of money in the Christmas
savings clubs, and these amounts
are about to be paid out. These ac-
cumulations are a golden stream of
new wealth flowing into the channels
of business, and will give trade a
boost that will be felt for many
weeks.
Money is said to burn a hole
through many pockets. No matter
how much money some people have,
they always see things for which
they want to spend it. Then when
the first attack of sickness comes,
they have no reserve on which to
draw.
1t is said we need free spending
to create business prosperity. But
people who have nothing saved up
become a dead weight on the com
munity when the proverbial rainy
day falls on them.
Milford chronicle., 1934-12-14

go out to a party, clouds begin tc
appear on the horizon. If that thing
continues night after night, we are
likely to have one of those eternal
triangles that the novels tell about.
Anyone who gets marriad with the
idea Of always having his or her
own way, is good deal like man
who tries to butt over a stone wall
with his head. It is not usually pos
sible for two people to live together
without considerable giving in on
both sides.
Getting married is kind of grand
lark to many young folks. But after
the knot is tied, they discover that
it is a grand enterprise Of industry
and devotion. If they could learn a
few such things before marriage, the
annual crop of tears and heart
breaks would show marked de-
cline.
Milford chronicle., 1934-12-14
TRAINING FOR MARRIAGE

A number of colleges offer courses
in the problems of matrimony, on
how students may make successful
marriages. AS somewhere around
100000 homes are broken up each
year in this country by divorce. it
seems an eminently practical sub
ject. You may stun your head with
book knowledge, but if you can't get
along with a good wife or husband,
your training is faulty somewhere.
Education for marriage should
teach people not to rush into matri-
mony in such tearing hurry. These
folks who meet girl or a man one
day, and marry her or him the next
week, are taking many chances. A
girl may seem a most fascinating
and bewitching person at the parties
and dances, when she really desires
to make conquests, but IL you put
her in home, she may be so cross
and grouchy that no one could live
with her.
Some people think II is well for
people of opposite tastes to marry,
but it is doubtful il that usually
works we'll. If husband wishes to
sit by the fireside and read. the news

THE FOOTBALL MYSTERY

Although baseball is said to be
the national game, nothing seems to
cause quite so much excitement as
the scene in the stadiums when two
noted football teams meet. The emo
tion of the crowd reaches high pitch,
and you would think the fate of ma
tion5 was at stake.
In baseball, with the players
spread out over the big field. you
can see every play. The fine work
done is instantly apparent. But in
football. many spectators admit that
they fail to see the ball as it is
swiftly passed, and they can't tell
who has it, All they can usually see
is that after a few tense seconds.
the players fall down in heap, and
when the wriggling legs are pulled
out of the mess. there the little
brown pigskin shows up, and you
can see whether there was a loss
or a gain. The real inside strategy
can only be guessed at.
But in the heads of those players
and their leaders, there is being
operated a complicated organization
and strategy. Every motion has
been worked out in theory and by
practice. 1t is a marvellous example
of team work and drill, and the
spectator is fascinated just because
he can't fully see into it. He is con-
stantly baffled, and teased and slim
ulated by the effort to see who did
the thing, and what they were try
ing to do.
1t takes brains to play football.
The fellows who can take those or
ders in few swift words, remem-
Der just what they mean, work out
the pre-arranged plan, show a quick
perception that ought to have some
value in after life. They make a
bad mistake if they forget that they |
came to school or college primarily |
to learn the worlds wisdom, but |
their minds may get more training |
in quick thinking on that field than
they do in the classroom.

RISING ABOVE THE MASS

The number of people who go into
business and either fail or find il
Improbable is very large. There
are also many who just manage to
keep along. They pay their debts,
but are not able to earn any more
than they could by working for
somebody else, if they do as much.
To obtain satisfactory results in
business, people must somehow man.
age to rise above the average level.
They must attract attention in some
way. BY far the least expensive and
the quickest way of doing that, is by
advertising. When they tell what
they have to sell and what the goods
cost. people get interested in them
at once, and their trade expands be-
yond the average level.
Milford chronicle., 1934-12-14
THE CHLDREN'S TOYS

Toys, they say. are the child's
tools. The child without toys is like
workman without any implements
or machinery of industry. No houses
or automobiles can be built without
tools. and the child will not build
himself a happy and growing life
without his toys.
There is such a thing as having
too many toys. Some lavish parents
heap so many playthings on kid
that his mind becomes surfeited. He
will play with one only a few min
utes. when he discards it and de-
d. mands something new. He is never
satisfied, and the more you give him,
the more he demands. But not
many children are thus spoiled by
excess of kindness.
The child of some poor family who
has no toys is to be pitied. Nothing
remains for him to do but stand on
the sidewalk, and watch for some
thing to happen. A fire is a god
send to him, and anything that Gre
ates excitement will be welcomed.
Such kid is a kind of open door
in whose mind evil thoughts are free
to enter. The first boy who comes
along and. suggests some deed of
mischief will probably win the sup
port of those idle hands.
The toy with which the child can
create something is extremely use
full. Building blocks, for instance,
helps children get their first lesson
in using their hands. When they
can make a little house or tower out
of their blocks, they make a start
on the long progress of developing
skill Mechanical toys also fasci-
nate the children, and kindle a de-
sire in them to know about machin-
cry.
When buying your Christmas pres
ents, look at the children's toys as
being of the first importance. Thro-
ugh them they get their first intro
duction to the world of work, and. by
them the entrance of wrong thoughts
to their minds is prevented.
Milford chronicle., 1934-12-14
CHRISTMAS TRADE

The people who buy their Christ
mas stun right of now, get the pick
of the goods. If they wait until
later, many of the finest articles will
be carried of. If you want your
choice. buy early before the rush
comes.
Also the shoppers who buy their
gifts early get better attention, and
have their needs looked after more
carefully. If you go into a store the
week before Christmas, and find
half dozen customers lined up in
front of each clerk, you can't expect
much attention. No human being
can answer questions from a dozen
people all at once and give intelli-
gent answers. If you want the ex-
perience of the store people to help
you. betted do business with them
while they have time to give.

A SANE CHRISTMAS

Christmas is called the most beau
tiful holiday of the year, one that
glows with poetic imagination and
lovely sentiment. And yet it has its
inconeruities and contradictions, and
it needs some remaking. if it is to
he reasonable and helpful to lis all
The most undesirable feature OF
it has always been the grand rush
to buv gifts and send them off dur
ing about ~ days previous to the
holiday. The people for years and
wears have been warned against this
habit. They have been shown how
unbusiness like it is, how it makes
the cost Of distributing Christmas
gifts higher, how it imposes a heavy
burden on store people and post
office employees, how many of these
folks are all tired out when the
grand scrimmage ends, how some of
them always get sick.
And yet people keep along in this
ancient habit, and no doubt we shall
see this year the same old rush. But
the agitation for early buying of
gifts has accomplished something,
and a good many people do so as
far as they can.
The reason commonly given for
this final rush, is that people haven't
the money ahead. and they have to
wait until just before the holiday
before they are able TO buy the things
they want. Still, there are plenty
of people for whom that excuse does
not apply Such ones could just as
well buy early in December, and
leave the last two weeks for those
Who have no reserve of money
ahead.
1t is predicted that the total
amount to be spent for Christmas
purchases this year will be the larg-
est since 1881. II makes big diff
ference where this money goes. Let
as spend it at home, if possible. We
can find all that We need right here
in our splendidly stocked stores. but
the stores must tell the people by ad-
vertising in local papers.
Milford chronicle., 1934-12-14
NEWS PART OF EDUCATION

Rev. DR.. w. G. Thayer, former
headmaster of the noted St. Marks
School at Southboro, Massachusetts,,
who has just died. believed strongly
that news is an essential part of edu-
cation. While many educators con-
centrate the attention of their pu-
pills on book knowledge, DR.. Thayer
believed that his boys should take
an active interest in the events of
the world. He saw to it that the
leading newspapers were on file in
his school library.
If that plan was followed in all
schools. we should see the younger
generation growing up with a keen
interest in good government. We
should no longer see nearly half our
voters staying at home when i'm
portant issues were being settled at
the ballotbox.
Milford chronicle., 1934-12-14
THE PUBLIC WELFARE

A city or town ought to be much
like a family. We should be inter-
ested in every element in the COM
munity, as we are interested in every
member of our families. If some
cousin or aunt is hard pressed or
in trouble, the members of that fam
lily gather around to see what can
be done about it. They are ready
with loyal help, and they use their
influence and advice to secure bet
ter chances for such a one.
1t should be the same in a COM
munity. If some group of people
are in difficulties, we must all try
to see what the trouble is, and
whether tangible help is needed, or
friendly efforts to secure better
chances for such ones. The town
where people are concerned for the
welfare Of all suffering and strug-
Cling people is the one where there
will be unity of action and an alb
sence of quarrels and conflict.
Milford chronicle., 1934-12-14

establish so villages in 20 states, to
provide homes and work for desti-
tute unemployed. There stranded
families will be given a chance to
support themselves with subsistence
gardens and cooperative industries.
Some means must be found by
which these people can sell their
products for cash, without depriv-
ing the people who now make these
products of their present means of
employment. If people can thus be
transferred from swarming city tene-
ments into life on the green earth
under the blue sky, it will be a fine
piece of work. But it will cost bill
lions of dollars to remove all the
congested city tenement dwellers to
such homes, and the taxpayers will
do some squealing before the job is
completed.
