Crouchy Elders Earn
Their Own Sufferings
To The Editor Of rhs star,

TO the Editor Of Ths star;
Recently I read an article BY an
aged man who complained bitterly be-
cause his family did not show him
any affection or appreciation. 20 he
claimed. Now there are two types Of
aged individuals and most families
possess both, and the first Is the
old person who gets old gracefully and
acquires tolerance and seems to mellow
as the years pass, whereas the second
type OF old person becomes embittered
and soured Is the years pass and ex-
tremely dictatorial and intolerant to-
ward the younger members in the
family circle. Wonder II the aged
man who complained because OF the
neglect OF his family did not belong
In the second group Of old people and
without realizing it become q prob
lem 10 his relatives? People reap as
they SOW and the kindly, genial and
tolerant aged individual Is an asset
to the family and q delight to
have around, but the cantankerous
grouchy and fault-finding aged person
is q liability and serious problem to
his or her family group and as q
rule this type Is the one generally neg
lected as they bring friction and con-
tention in the home atmosphere and
have the unhappy faculty Of Irritating
and rubbing others the wrong way.
The art of growing old gracefully
should be cultivated by all.

the question naturally is how large

An Old Theory Revived.

From the Lowell Evening Leaser.
Secretary Wallace of the Agricul-
ture Department, 1t II noticed, frankly
admits that the serious dought in the
West affects agricultural policies. And
while 1t Is at the moment a tragedy
for the farmers, he thinks that it may
turn out to be blessing in disguise.
He now foresees system Of storing
produce in boom years to avert future
scarcities. AS was suggested in this
column the other day, such a plan
would involve the modification. If not
the complete abandonment, Of the ex-
pedient of blowing under surplus crops.
It Is q question whether the idea of
the reduction Of acreage would be
consistent with It.
The Secretary suggests the estab-
hshment Of system whereby farmers
produce in fruitful years would be
stored on their farms or nearby and
in which the Government would make
loans to them on the basis of cur
rent prices. When a scarcity devel-
oped and prices rose the farmer would
be compelled to sell to the Govern
ment at fixed prices.
In the last analysis this plan is akin
to the old advice to lay by something
for a rainy day. Seemingly there
would perforce be less emphasis on
the evils OF overproduction.

Making Bank Deposits Safe.

From the winston-Salem Journal
Congress has agreed on a bill to
raise the maximum guarantee Of bank
deposits from $2,500 to $4,000. effec-
tive July 1. This will make the aver
age depositor's money in bank as safe
as the United States Government.
In the years ahead the people Of

that the one reform which meant
more than any other for the financial
stability Of this country was the guar
antee of bank deposits.
With the Government back of all

States Carpenters Case
In Answer to Letter

To the Editor Of The Star:
I have read Nancy Bertolini's letter
in The Star of June 16. Does she
realize that the building trade Is the
hardest hit and the carpenter trade
especiallya Does she know that the
carpenters are the lowest-paid me-
chanics' Eight dollars a day sounds
good, II O carpenter was doing steady
work the year around like a clerk.
think that fve dollars or six dollars
would look good to him. which is no
more than the average that Govern
ment clerks or typists receive. A car
penter has to have Sl0o worth of tools
and about 10 years experience before
he Is able to do the high-ciass work
on these Government buildings, and
his work is hard, with no electric fans
to cool him in the Summer and no
radiators to warm him II working
outside in Wintertime.
But there is another angle to the
cont oversy over these unfinished
Government buildings. The contracts
were all let with the understanding
that the then prevailing wage must
be paid, which was to prevent wage
cutting. The carpenters scale was
$137h, which was about equal to
other towns of the same size. The
depression went from bad to worse
and the scheming exploiters saw that
wages went lower and lower and here
was a swell chance to chisel some
easy money, and they managed to cut
the carpenters to So day. They
collected from the Government the
price Of the original contract and
were thus able to pocket 50 from each
man daily. Now all the carpenters
are asking Is q restoration of that
cut, but they are willing to sacrifice
two hours daily so that one-fourth
more men may go to work. This
would give them about the same that
they received the last year for an
eight-hour day. But the carpenters
were underpaid last year. The p. w.
A. allowed bricklayer $1.15 per hour
and all other trades were allowed
more than $1.10 per hour, which was
the rate allowed the carpenter. In
my opinion a carpenter is worth as
much as any Of the other trades,
About school teachers not getting
paid You may call that patriotism
If you like, but I think they also see
the necessity of organizing themselves
In order to survive. Going without
salary to see children continue school
Is fine act indeed. But they were
also saving some rich taxpayer from
contributing his fair share to society
Instead of condemning the carpenters
she should take a few lessons from
these men. If every worker had been
organized We never would have had
this depression. The workers would
have demanded a bigger portion of
what they actually produced and not
allowed themselves to be treated and
sold like a commodity.
