THE Bank Of North Dakota has
made it possible for many Of the school
districts Of the state to keep schools
open and has served the state in its
many other functions, so complicated
that we cannot name them all in this
resolution.
I'VE believe 1t right to mention that
Governor LANCER has been fair to or
gained labor: to all workers employed
and unemployed. He was the first
governor since Lynn J. Frazier ia
champion labor In 2 strike and caused
the pay to be raised to what the work
ers demanded Is fair. He was the first
governor to cooperate with President
Roosevelt In his recovery program,
putting idle men to work on state
roads, his recognition and protection
OF labors right to organize Is acknowl-
edged BY laboring men Of the state.
Backs Water Program
We endorse Governor Langer,s
espousal Of water conservation BY
recommending construction Of dams
for impounding 1t locally, and his
backing Of the Missouri river diver
sion and other reclamation projects.
We specifically condemn the ac-
ton OF the federal CWA authorities
IN removing Governor LANCER as
CWA relief administrator in this
state for the alleged reason that he
had compelled contributions from
workers for political purposes. All
without q hearing and without the
production Of any evidence.
I'VE condemn this because the re-
moval was made for what appears to
be political reasons only in an effort
to destroy the Republican, party Of
this state, now In the hands of the
League, and for the ap-
parent further purpose Of building
up the Democratic party within this
state and this IS particularly 50 when
1t Is known throughout this state
that Governor LANCER has at no time
been anything other than the honor
airy head OF the CWA and the active
program has at all times been In the
hands Of the now acting administra-
tor, Judge Christianson.

SCHOOL HOUSES GET
THOROUGH CLEANING
Schools in "a Counties Benefit
by Civil Works Service
Health Campaign

School houses in at least "a coun-
ties Of the state are healthier, hap
pier. and cleaner" places for school
children as the result Of cleaning
campaign conducted under civil works
service in cooperation with the state
departments of health and public in
struction.
A suggestion by Florence Fergeson
OF Steele, county nurse and rellel
worker, that rural school houses be
given a thorough cleaning during the
Christmas holidays was passed along
to all county workers by Miss Pearl
SaLsberry, director OF field work for
the federal relief committee.
The plan was suggested especially
for those districts where there is
pinkeyc, chicken poA, scarlet fever,
scabies and impotlgo. Miss Salsberry
said.
Meeting with favorable reaction in
many counties, the proposed project
was undertaken as civil works serV-
ice project for women in need OF re-
lief. Not just an ordinary cleaning
was done but floors, woodwork. walls
and desks of the school rooms were
scrubbed with soap and water and
sterilized. In many cases books and
papers were placed IN box and tu-
migated. odds and ends in the chill
dren'S desks were removed, and rub
Dish about the buildings was de-
stroyed.
Spend $3.50 for Work
Besides putting the schools III a
healthy condition. the project pro-
vided means for many women to
work out needed relief. They were
paid at 80 cents per hour for as many
hours as needed to cover the family
budget. Local boards of education
furnished materials in most cases.
The service was not rendered where
school boards had the money to pay
for it, but if the board had no funds
the CWS provided the service.
Typical Of the programs reception
was report from the Emmons coun-
ty superintendent Of schools who for
warded letters Of thanks from the
teachers and pupils, one of which
said, If all the school rooms In the
county were cleaned as thoroughly as
ours, feel sure this plan was very
successful one
One hundred fifty-five class rooms
were cleaned and sterilized III En-

Of about $3.50 in relief was worked
