High Spots
of
Emergency Relief
BY NOAH HOLLOWELL
Director

The office of emergency relief
is in need of the assistance of
the public in the effort to reduce
the number OF local people on d.
rect relief.
1t is difficult for a case worker
to enter a home where there Is
little in evidence and where there
has always been very little and
determine the actual needs of TIE
family, which even under the best
of conditions was maintained in =
.'hand to mouth fashion.
1t is not the intention of the
government that anyone should
really suffer for food or clothing
so long as they make an honest
effort to help themselves, but this
office will never satisfactorily re-
duce the number receiving aid
therefrom until the public comes
to our assistance.
We were advised by farmer
yesterday that a man to whom he
was offering regular employment
at $1.00 a day refused to work
one day each week in order to
come to this office and receive 2
food order for soc ard a few COM
modities in the way of smoked
pork and butter.
This man would have made
more by sticking to his job than
by imposing upon this office,
which is not supposed to help
such people.
An employee of the relief office
| offered man that this office was
feeding $1.OO a day to rake up
J leaves and trash around his home.
This man, who was an employee OF
the CWA for a long period and is
now receiving food once a wee!;
from this office, refused to work
for $1.0O a day. Naturally these
two cases were dismissed from
our relief roll.
This office would appreciate in
formation about anyone who is
receiving food orders therefrom
who refuses to work regardless
of the rate of pay.
We are aware Of the fact that
CWA wages and flee food has
broken down the manhood of
many of our people and they are
clinging to the governments viii
lingness to keep them from suf-
fering by abusing the privileges
given them.
This office would welcome III
formation from any source which
will show that those we are help
ing arc not entitled to it.
Sometimes there are innocent
women and children that we can
not permit to suffer when the ia
Their and husband is too trifling
I. to work, but even in those cases
we endeavor to make this office
1 and what it has to give such fam
/ lilies, unattractive.
Our report shows during the
| past month we helped with food
795 families and 5S non-family
persons. We are daily reducing
these through our own investiga-
tions but it is impossible to know
the daily habits of many of these
people and therefore information
| from their peghhors will be kept
| confidential and will be much APP
preciated. We are not supposed
to help those who can find suffi-
Gent employment to provide their
own support.

correct Lumber dealers have been talk,
ing for several months past about decreas-
| ing business. The average retail lumber
dealer will corroborate the statement that
lumber prices have been boosted so high
that sales have fallen in a most alarming
manner.
In the southern pine lumber industry
the working time was reduced from 60 to
40 hours per week and the wages paid per
hour were substantially increased. The
only course for the lumber manufacturer
to take was to sell his products at higher
prices. On top of that, The Times-News
is Informed, under the codes of the lumber
manufacturing and selling business, retail
Timber prices were arbitrarily fixed at en-
orbtant figures. ,. ..
The result has been rapidly diminish
ing demand for lumber and building ma
terials. s..
Which confirms the suspicion that you
can lead an industry under code and IN
crease prices but can't compel the public
to buy its products when the public be-
lieves they are priced too high.
No doubt the lumber manufacturers ana
dealers will get together, put the skids I'M
der their codes and price fixing agree
ments, and again place their industry IN
position to do business.
All of which is mighty interesting
commentary on artificial price intlatloh'
artificial stimulation of employment and
uneconomic reduction in working hours.

we'll will supply pure running
water to an entire community.
A man named Cunningham
whom | used to know decided to
drive an artesian well on his
property. In as much as the eX--
4 pense was considerable, he asked
! his friend. Bartlett. who owned
the adjoining place, to share the
cost and the water. But Bartlett
/ wouldn't go in on the deal.
So Cunningham, who had plenty
of money, put down the we'll.
| The well was compile success
and since there gushed from it a
volume Of water far beyond the
needs of the Cunninghams, the
overflow was turned into a dry
ditch which ran through the Cum
ningham and Bartlett places to
the river.
Then Bartlett had a bright
idea; he installed an hydraulic
ram in this new ripping, spark
ling stream and thus supplied his
house with pure artisan water.
Cunningham was peeved. He
thought Bartlett had not played
square with him. SO he had a
COW stable built over this over
flow stream. That Of course dis
couraged the Rartietts from fur
Their use of the water.
AS a result of the foregoing
DEVELOPMENTS, the Cunninghams
and the Bartletts who had been
warm friends and good neigh
bors, became thoroughly estrang-
ed. They stopped speaking to
each other.
Folks in that locality took much
interest in this water episode.
They told the story back and
forth among themselves and pass
ed it on the outsiders. The gem
eral feeling was that while Bart
lett had tried to be smart, Cum
ningham had outsmarted him.
! Personally, | think Cunning
ham made 4 mistake. Perhaps
Bartlett had not been altogether
fair. Perhaps he. should not have
attempted to use the overflow
water from Cunningham's artes-
/ ian well.
But what did Cunningham get
by outmaneuvering Bartlett? He
got nothing desirable; he lost
/ something desirable. He lost the
, friendship and fellowship of a
neighbor and he got the disadvan-
tage of living alongside hostile
! family.
The friendship of Bartlett and
his family was not thing to be
set aside lightly-certainly not
because Bartlett was using some
excess water that was on its way
& to the sea from Cunningham's
well.
! Cunningham might better have
! seasoned the matter out with
himself this way: 1t does seem as
if Bartlett should have helped
me pay for that well. Failing to
do so, it would seem that he
shouldn't have used water from
it without getting my consent.
however, that was not the way
Bartlett's mind worked. All the
same, he is a good fellow. He
has been a fine neighbor, and
I'm not going to. fail out with
him. Perhaps he was too hard
up to help me pay for the WE'LL"
Then Cunningham could have
shown a fine spirit by going to
Bartlett, shaping him on the
back and saying cordially:
well, You darned old horse
trader, you got the best of me

YOU are welcome to that water,
and to anything else | have"
We usually have to pay for
everything we get. If we get
even with somebody, we have to
pay for that. If we get and hold
the friendship of somebody, we
have to pay for that too.
