OUTLINE NEW
PROGRAM FOR
FEDERAL AID

regular Jobs on highways and other
public work carried on in farm
areas
I In dealing with the problems of
stranded populations, the White
House explained that the solution
Of the problem of these families in
wolves their physical transplanting,
in large majority of cases. since
the areas in which they are con-
centrated offer neither future en-
ployment at wages nor opportuni-
ties for self-support through agri-
culture"
The federal relief officials esti-
mate that the number Of families in
this category is in excess of 100000
To afford them relief, it is planned
TO mass all resources of the SubSiS
tence homes division of the de-
partment of thainterior to this end
For the needy unemployed in ci-
ties and towns the White House
said:
Direct relief as such, whether in
the form of cash or relief in kind,
is not an adequate way of meeting
the needs of able bodied workers.
They very properly insist upon an
opportunity to give the community
their services in the form Of labor in
return for unemployment benefits.
Uphol6S Ideals
The federal government has no
intention nor desire to force either
upon the country or the unem-
ployed themselves a system of re-
lief which is repugnant to Ameri-
can ideals of individual self reliance.
Therefore, work programs which
would not normally be undertaken
by public bodies, bat which are at
the same time outside of the field
of private industry. will be project
ed and prosecuted in and near in
dustrial communities.
Labor on these projects will not
be expected of dependent members
of the community who are unable 10
work. but will be confined to those
needy unemployed who can give
adequate return for the unemploy-
ment benefits which they receive.
Work will be given to an individ-
ual for a period not to exceed six
months. This is in order that it NAV
/ not be considered, or utilized, as a
permanent method of support. Ii
will be administered by and under
| the direction of those responsible
for the unemployment relief acti-
vities in industrial communities.
Every effort will be made to con-
tinue opportunities for work for the
professional groups in need-teach-
ers, engineers. architects, artists
nurses and others.
This program expresses a con-
viction that industrial workers who
are employed anG in need Of re-
lief should be given an opportunity
for livelihood by the prosecution OF
flexible program of public works
The several states will be aided as
the federal relief law provides, in
the financing of this enterprise

sons will be welcome to attend this
meeting
The Ell Centro Chamber of Com
:nerce has been much interested in
tree planting in Ell Centre and
through its efforts, and under the
direction of Mrs. j. S. Jones. chair
man of the chamber tree planting
committee, 5000 palo verde trees
have been planted along parkways
n Ell Centro in the past two years.
The planting of date trees is now
being urged in the city, as the most
typical and ornamental for wider
streets. although not adapted TO
narrow streets.
In commenting on the plan of
II plant two date trees Mrs. Jones
stated today, "There Are $500
homes in FL Centro. if each home
owner would put out two date trees
we would soon have a very beauti-
full city and the dates and palo
yerdes would form a tropical back
ground for more detailed garden
ing. Proven off-shoots are now
available from mature parent trees
so the variety of date planted may
he determined in advance. These
off shoots may be purchased
through local date growers or nurs-
cries at very moderate COST
Mrs. jones also urges that those
who have planted palo verde trees
spade around them and see that
they are properly trimmed in order
that the greatest growth may be
made during the spring months.
After two years of planting it is
easy to observe the Importance of
proper spading, watering and prun-

Persons who would be interested

warned that Communists plan to
block every harvest in central Cali

the potato harvest in Kern county
and continuing through fruit and
cotton harveStS.
Deputy Sheriff Harry Perry of

The Ell Centre Chamber of Com

names of six local citizens who
would be interested in serving on a

further increase hourly wages was
revealed by Johnson in his OPEN
ing address to the protest group
The average NRA work week is
now 40 hours.
Organized labor is demanding a
20 hour week. johnson once in
clined to a 32-hour work week but
IS not committed to any figure
There are indications he may pro-
pose a reduction from 40 hours to
SO.
To Revise Selling Code
The Johnson reform program
gained added significance in light
of complaints during the first five
protest meetings. The administra-
tor had anticipated most objections.
Included in the johnson program
is a plan to put adequate selling
into the codes. These
may forbid sale of any article be-
low reasonable coSt' instead of
merely below "cost" which has
been interpreted to mean the whole
sale price in some cases. ~
Motivating Johnson and Presi-
dent Roosevelt is the urgent neces-
sity to provide employment for the
100000 or so persons who have
not obtained jobs under the new
'leal. Johnson comedies that re-
employment of 2,700,000 to 100000
MS own estimate, is not a sufficient
result from NRA.
Labor and the small business
man are making the greatest up
roar in this free for all protest ex-
pertinent. Revision of codes is
most likely in the direction of the
man who works and the man who
runs small store or factory.
In view of johnson S specific
Communications the protest forum
hencefoIth is mostly oratory.

Micaiah Speaks the Truth,
Kings 22:1-14, for Sunday, July
20:
When ought we enter into con-
sultation with others and when
should we refuse?
How can we know what God has
said to us?
How can we distinguish truth
from falsehood?
How can honesty be made to pre-
vail more generally?
Why do people lie?
What lesson should we learn
from the life of Micaiah?
Glorious says: "The lines between
truth and falsehood, staunch testi-
mony and the subtle bending Of the
knee to influence, may not be SO
sharply drawn with us, but the dis
tinction still exists, and there are
pervasive influences in the air that
may undermine our integrity and
weaken our conscience into more or
less compliance with falsity as
against truth"

stain from corrupt alliances, by al
