The campaign provided thousands
of jobs. II sent money through a
hundred major industries. Essential
improvements were obtained at a
fraction of what they would have
cost a few years earlier.
This spring and summer should
see additional campaigns of the same
order. The need for employment is
almost as great as it was year ago.
The construction industry is still

COMMTNITY RASRBALL

Baseball is called the national
game, something that every Ameri-
can man and hoy loves. II il is real
ly to be a national game. il should
be possible for every boy and young
man to have a chance at it. AS now
organized. this is not possible.
We see professional teams in ma
| iOr and minor leagues, which give
employment to star players, and
provide Il most desirable diversian
for millions OF spectators. But such
teams can he maintained only in
cities of considerable size. There
remain many thousands of cOmmnni-
ties which may or may not have any
baseball, dependent on the energy
and support of the people who love
the game.
In many communities hopeful
movements are started to provide
this game. but the teams fail for lack
of support. The ordinary trouble
is that many baseball fans will not
back up the games unless the home
team wins with some regularity.
They become disgusted with Il los
mg team. and stay away and sulk.
Nn team can run without support.
If we are going to give the Ameri-
ran people Il chance al their iaV0rile
pastime. people must show more CO.
operation. and give their players
credit when they are working their
heads off to win. With such sup
port the losing team of today he
comes the winning team OF another /!
day.
Little local leagues between indus |
trial establishments. neighbnrhoods, !
and schools, are wonderful thing .
tor American youth. Every city or .
town, no matter how small, should /
have more or less such teams. Give
every hoy in Delaware a chance al

THE WORKERS IN THE WOODS

The United States has spent $215.-
00n 900 in giving employment to 6o0.-
O00 young men in the Civilian Con-
servation Corps during the first year
of this service A vast amount Oi
work has been accomplished. tor the
forests. Many results will not ap-
pear at present. many of them not
for many years.
When - ,UnO. 900 trees were plant
ed. no substantial results will be
seen by the present generation. And
some day those trees will be tre-
mendOusly valuable. Also work OF
the most substantial value has been
done in protecting the forests against
fire, and improving forest growths.
Probably I the end of 80 years, the
work will have paid for itself.
Some people may say we can not
afford to spend great sums pr0vid-
ing benefits for future generations.
But if our ancestors had taken sim
liar attitude. many benefits we now
enjoy w0nld not be possessed by us.
The main benefit Of this cOnser-
walton enterprise is not the improve
ment in the forests. II is in saving
young men from the discOuragement
and despair in which they were en-
tering. Some of those boys would
have been tempted into crime, had
not this work been offered, and
others would have been enticed to
wander about the country, learning
vagrant habits.
The American people can not be
so Indifferent to the existence of un-
employment as they used to be.
When young men wait around street
corners for years, able to find moth
ing to do. many of them deteriOrate.
II would be better to levy special
taxes to put such ones to work on
a useful task like this forest job,
than to permit the human deteriora-
tion that follows unemployment.
Milford chronicle., 1934-04-27
ESSENTIALS OF REFORM

Can the troubles that baffle the
country be cured by new laws and
systems of business? Some hopeful
people believe so, but the difficulties
of our time go deeper than that.
They are no mere skin disease. but
they touch the Vitals of our civic
body.
Our national troubles are due
principally to three causes, selfish
ness. dishonesty. and Incidence. As
long as these wrong ideas sway the
conduct of people so powerfully, any
system of government or business
will work poorly. The people who
have these spiritual defects are go
ing to limp through life. and no
cTutches in the form of new laws
and business systems will cure their
lameness.
II is not necessarily a hopeless
task to root out these undesirable
human qualities. These will always
he some people who will be selfish.
dishonest. and indOlent. But if chill
dren could be touched with power
ful forces of inspiration. il should
be possible to teach most of them
to struggle against and overcome
such traits.
II child is approached in the
right way, he can usually be led to
feel contempt for selfish person.
and when he feels that contempt,
he won't want to he selfish himself.
He should be able TO see that the
dishonest person is everybOdy's enc
my, and he won't want to occupy that
position. He should feel disgust AT
Incidence, as a characteristic that
leads to failure and defeat,
1t is quite as important TO teach
usefulness, honesty. and industry
as To teach arithmetic and grammar.
The education of the future is like
ly to concentrate on these traits. II !
children can be given these ideals, !
most of our national problems will
disappear.
