Fire All Single Workers,
Heads of Small Families
In New Slash
BY HOWARD BoLDT

HINDER the knife of the La Guar
y dia relief slashing program,
thousands of unemployed and thou
sands of relief workers each week
are being cut off the city's relief
lists. Under the paternal eye of
Roosevelt's Federal Emergency Re
lief Administration the new hunger
program is being launched. Each
week finds ten to fifteen thousand
unemployed New York workers ap-
plying for relief-most are denied
any relief whatsoever, or thousands
on the relief rolls are dropped to
make way for new applicants.
In direct tie-up between the
Federal Emergency Relief Admin
istration and the La Guardia re-
gime of Wall Street bankers, the
most vicious relief sIashing program
yet inaugurated in New York City
is being begun. With CHASTITY
regularity each week finds new
thousands fired from the work
projects. At least % 600 relief
workers are to be fired by the end
of August; wages of the white
collar workers are to be Slashed up
wards of 20 per cent; an investiga-
ton is being conducted among all
relief workers receiving SIG a week
or less, and if their wages exceed
by two dollars the home relief bud
gets, they are to be fired. All single
workers are to be eliminated from
the work lists.
In statement made public by
the State Temporary Emergency
Relief Administration on March 80,
relief grants to the municipalities
and cities were to be cut each month
from $23 100000 in June to s19, $780,
600 in August, September and Oc-
VObO4- fR1UCA RCAiO dbSOi0tCAJ
no provisions have been made for
re endorsements to the cities for
relief expenditures. The statement
concludes with the announcement:
ut is clear that it will be essential
for the municipalities of the state
to continue approximately the same
amount toward work and home re-
lief, namely, about $5,000,000 per
month, but 1t will be vitality neces-
sary for them to reduce the relief
load by means of an immediate and
thorough investigation which will
ensure that only those absolutely In

at Hendersonyille, today gave
pointers to growers of tomatoes
who plan to deliver their harvests
to the cannery. Mr.. Evans said
that the recent warm weather has
caused many tomatoes to mature
before ripening properly. His in
structions to growers are as fol-
lows:
Full sized green tomatoes
should be picked carefully and the
stems taken off.
"They should be laid with the
stem holes downward, on boards
or concrete, in a cool and shady
place. They will then color prop
erly in few days and be ready
for marketing.
"When tomatoes are carefully
handled in this way, they can be
used at the Western North Caro-
lima cannery. Growers should not
deliver tomatoes with breaks or
cuts in the skins. The vinegar
gnat is likely to lay eggs in these
skin crevaces. and it is impossible
to be sure of destroying this pest
during the scalding process. The
government regulations are eX-
tremely strict on this matter, and
the cannery will not buy tomatoes
with breaks in the skin.
"Only fully colored tomatoes
can be used at the cannery, as
there is no space available fof
storing tomatoes until they ripen.
Growers should ripen their toma-
toes at home before marketing.
Buying is done at the cannery
on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thurs
days and Fridays, from s until 2
o'clock. The cannery has now fin
ished it's pack on green beans and
blackberries and is now running
on tomatoes entirely. ...
yellow tomato juice is being
packed again under the Fedora
TONS own label, from tomatoes
grown under contract.
"Red tomatoes are bought on
the open market and the cannery
will handle practically all toma-
toes delivered that are sound and
fully ripened."

Isabel shrugged her shoulders.
Gould you get Laddie or some
body and have him drive over in
to the curve and I'd make a dash

Isabel decided. "He left the keys

Boots waited apprehensively in
the darkness. The crowd on the
veranda had thinned now. At

about in the big lighted rooms,
Strengthening chairs, clearing lit
tered tables. The orchestra played
"Home, Sweet Home"
Still Isabel did not come. Boots
head ached. She was desperately
trying to fend off thoughts Of
the morrow-of her apologies to
an angry and incredulous hostess;
of the giggles which would be
her portion if the story got
around. But just now all she
could afford to contemplate was
the immediate problem. Once
home, safe in her own room, she
could plan for the future. -.
There was a low whistle from
the vicinity of the hydrangeas,
glimmering palelv in the dark
ness. Boots ran in that direction.
The dewy grass was damp to. the
soles of her thin stockings. She
glimpsed the roadster, heard the
blessed sound of the purring mo-
tor, jumped in.
But it was not Isabel at the
wheel. 1t was Russ Lund,. the
swimming instructor at the club.
