Adequate Facilities for Un-
employed Men and Boys
Finally Obtained.
REHABILITATION WORK
UNDERTAKEN BY UNIT
Correcting Jobless' Attitude Of Fu-
tility Difficult Job, Su-
pervisor Says.

Adequate facilities for caring for
transient unemployed men and boys
have at last been obtained by the Dis
trict Of Columbia Bureau for Transients
with the acquisition Of a building at
lexington place and @ street north
east according to A. S. Rosicran, super
visor OF relief for transients here.
The bureau heretofore has been faced
with the problem Of supplying living
quarters for an average of apprixi-
mately 1000 men every night. At the
same time separate quarters have been
sought for boys under 81. and an
average Of approximately 80 minors
have applied for such assistance daily.
The headquarters at lexington and
@ streets is one Of $50 transient centers
set up b. the Federal Emergency Re-
lief Administration. and. in addition to
taking care of current needs-food
clothing and living quarters-efforts
also are being made to rehabilitate as
many transients as possible. sending
many Of them back to their home COM
munities and giving vocational training
to those who claim no permanent resi-
dence.
1000 Night.
I'VE fully expect that in this new
building We will be able properly to
take care Of all transient men in the
District" Mr.. Rosicran declared The
main problem with which we have
been faced in the past has been that Of
inadequate lodgings. 1t has been ex-
tremely difhcult to procure a suitable
building in which we could carry on
our work of caring for the 1000 men

Under present plans the Emergency
Relief Administration is doing the
same thing for transients in the con-
centration centers that the Civil
Works Administration is doing for un-
employed men who have not gone on
the road in quest of jobs.
Most OF the men encountered by Mr..
Rosicran admit they have been ION the
bum or "thumb-touring" for several
years. Many Of them. he said, are
high-type men of intelligence and
character who have refused to stand
still in one place and let opportunity
come to them. For a long while, en-
countered by rebuffs wherever they
sought employment, the men had an
attitude Of futility. Now, Mr. Rosicran
said. they have assumed a more hope
full attitude, feeling that business con-
chances Of employment have been
greatly enhanced
Problem of Boys.
The younger men and boys, however.
present different problem. Some of
them have never been employed since
leaving school and most of them have
had no training whatever for vocations
These the bureau attempts to train.
with both day and night classes. chiefly
along vocational lines, being conducted
for their benefit.
Because of their age the boys are
quartered separately from the older
men. Most Of the older men are willing
to go back to their homes, but the boys
do not respond to such a suggestion
quite SO readily.
Mr.. Rosichran also said the problem
OF transient women is not such a great
one here. In fact, homeless wandering
women are scarce and few applicants
have visited the transient bureau in
quest for assistance.

PLAN NEW SET-UP
Maryland and Virginia Direc-
tors to Select Manage.
ment and Fix Policy.

While Fauquier County dairymen
were meeting today at warrenton and
Remington. Va. to elect two directors
Of the Maryland and Virginia Milk
Producers Association, other members
Of the directorate already chosen were
laying plans for a complete reorgani-
zation Of the cooperative.
The principal task confronting the
new board. which will take office Feb
ruary 5 at the associations annual
meeting. Is the selection of a new man
agement and the formulation of an
aggressive, economical policy that will
unity and solidify the organization.
That something must be done, and
done without delay. is agreed upon by
majority Of the directors. The
morale Of the association members has
been broken by the revelations of the
Senate Milk Investigating Committee
and If things are allowed to drift. with
no definite forward step taken. the asso-
citation will die Of dead rot, in the
opinion OF many.
Association Necessary.
That there must be an association of
milk producers on this market is the
unanimous opinion of all its members.
Without a cooperative, organization
the washington milk market would be
shot to pieces. and the farm price of
milk would collapse. they believe The
association now controls q little better
than 80 per cent of the milk shipped
on this market and it is the aim of
the new directors to build up such a
strong organization that the independ-
ent shippers will want to come in for
their own salvation.
To build up the producers price for
milk. some method must be found of
handling the so-called market surplus.
the amount Of milk which is not con-
sumed in fluid form. Establishment
of surplus plant has been proposed
and Is finding great interest among
the membership. However, the asso-
citation management points out that
the cooperative lost money several
years ago in similar venture.
Collection Of SIo5,eoe.
At that time it sold the surplus plant
to an association member. who not
only made substantial profits out of
its operation. but collected $685. 900
from the cooperative when it failed
to abide by its contract to furnish 1000
gallons OF milk daily. Proponents of
the plant plan point out that Chestnut
Farms is making money on surplus
milk, else 1t would not handle the
product, and that. therefore, the
farmers as q whole would benefit more
by manufacturing their own dairy
products.
j. H. Mason, chief of the dairy divi-
sion, A. A. A.. has said that in Des
Moines, where he managed q co-opera-
tive, surplus plant was set up by
the organized dairymen and operated
at q profit.
farmers will meet at Manassas, Va, to
select q director for their county DR..

OSWALT,S PLAN SUCCESS

Judging solely on ability and exper-
lence, this publication believes that J.
Sterling Oswalt. chief of police in Ell
Centre, is the best equipped candidate
for the office of sheriff-coroner at the
primary election.
He is one of the youngest candidates,
which Is an asset, particularly when it
Is balanced by dozen years of exper-
lence in police work. This experience has
given him the judgment and confidence
necessary to make decisions promptly,
even in situations where little or no time
Is given to make up ones mind, such as
often arise in police work.
There have been attempts made dur
ing the campaign to ridicule Chief Os-
waits program of putting police on BIZ
cycles, yet the citizen who is depending
upon the police department for protec-
ton, and who is fair about it, will admit
that it is an admirable, successful and
economical program.
Before this method of patrol was
adopted, El Centro's residential sections
were unguarded during the night. To
place sufficient officers on duty on foot,
would mean the employment of more
men than the city could afford, and the
expense of equipping the men with au-
lOiilOOAlNo VI ulOlOlIyS SISS "OuIu dlSO D6
prohibitive from the taxpayers view
point.
There is nothing ridiculous about
police officer on bicycle Such method
of patrol is used in many eastern cities
and has been found highly efficient. 1t
enables the officer to cover the territory
assigned to him efficiently and it is not
burden on the taxpayer.
e /
department is by the efficiency of its
patrol and the protection afforded
the citizens. On this basis Chief Oswalt's
record can stand up under any scrutiny
or criticism. The citizen has only to ask
himself regarding the amount of crime
committed in this city and compare it
with that in others of equal size
Chief Oswalt has made a success of
the Ell Centre police department. He can
do the same thing for the Imperial coun-
ty sheriff's department.

Of different flavor.

So the little rabbit scouts hoped
down to the beach to see what the

that they had gotten some lettuce

might find some cabbage and tur-

Uncle Wiggily said, were washed
ashore from some steamer where
they had been thrown overheard

But the bunny scouts were dis
