10 Large Areas
Are Urged For
'oelf-Help Jobs
Mrs. Thomas O'Berry Announces
Relief Plans.
WOULD BE EXPERIMENT
Rnral Rehabilitation Work Would
Stress Community Help And
Family Grouping.

Establishment IN North Carolina
of 10 regional areas of approx
mately 1000 acres each on which
needy families would be put to
work in an effort to make them
self-sustaining was recommended by
Mrs. Thomas O'Berry federal re-
lief director for this state, as an
experiment in rural rehabilitation
she believes will prove successful.
The federal relief administration
would finance the project.
For the actual administration
of the rural rehabilitation work"
Mrs. O'Berry said, eve propose to
establish 10 regional divisions, bas-
ed as nearly as possible upon the
soil, climate and rainfall of the
state, and as nearly as possible in
accordance with the length of
growing season and the crop areas
Jas shown in various reports of the
state and federal agricultural de-
|partments.
Eat some place in each of these
10 areas we expect to secure by
purchase or gift about a thousand
acres of land on which we will es-
tablish, to begiH with, 10 small
houses and barns and a blacksmith
shop and wood working tools for
making simple carts and farm tools
and repairing them:
eve will build storage space to
be used later in the harvest season
in the late summer and fall, and
here will be established communi-
ty canning plants and a mill for
grinding of grain to be used in
and feeds.
Each regional division will have
one man who will supervise the
farming and building activities and
promote the projects peculiar to
that section. The women's work
in these regional divisions will be
supervised by a woman who is a
practical supervisor of home and
farm domestic problems.
"In addition to some wood and
shop work in the community CEN
tiers, we propose to establish at To-
cations within the several regional
divisions, as the opportunity may
offer. in cooperation with private
capital when possible, work pro-
jects for which we may receive
products and materials that will
provide food, shelter or clothing for
both urban and rural families, and
serviceable furniture for their
homes.
"By inauguratng the proposed
10 regional divisions with their
projects we will undertake to make
permanent improvements with our
work projects, bur it will be neces-
.sary to continue this year the usual
work projects in cooperation with
the public school buildings and
grounds, parks and highways, for
est and fire prevention.
1--WE propose to have a state cor
Grafton for the rural rehabilitation
to be controlled by the state
administration, in which will rest
all title for real and personal prop
'erty until it is sold or contracted

that they can do between now and

There are wise old observers here
in Washington who believe that the
Republican party has a chance in
1886 only if it comes out frankly
and squarely On the conservative
side. The radicals have done all
the talking for the last couple of
years, until one would be tempted
to think that there are no conserva-
tives left. Some of the members
of Congress- who r coming up for
reelection know better; there are
still a few conservatives left in their
home districts who are likely to
vote the Republican ticket next
November.
Locally, conservative thought is
beginning to express itself. Wash
ington has heard hardly more than
echoes from the back country, Sc
far; but some smart politicians be-
lieve that if the national Republi-
an party would go on record not
as promising the same sort of thing
that the Democrats are dishing out
now, but almost precisely the OPP
posite so far as Government control
of business, and expenditures for
social reforms are concerned, it
would gather recruits to itself like a

The Administration and its sup
porters are receptive to criticism
when it comes from sources which
they do not regard as s~elf-seekine
They pay little attention to what
Wall Street thinks, but they dc
listen when representatives of con-
structive and productive business
speak their minds, as did the mem
bers Of the Chamber of Commerce
o united States Eecently in
their annual convention. One re-
suit Of that criticism IS 4 revision
Of the Securities Act, with the
Presidents full support, to enable
legitimate business to obtain capital
i4D legitimate way from legitimate
sources, without being classed with
crooks and highbinders.
1t is probably a fair statement
that Republican opposition is not
worrying the Administration any.
In the nation as a whole there is
nothing that can be called a Re-
publican party today. The Old
Guard is reluctant to let go its
leadership, yet is calling for young
blood to rejuvenate the party.
So far about the only effort to
shape up policies on which to &c
to the electorate next election time
seems to be an effort to see how
close the Republicans can came to
paralleling Democratic ideas. That
creates much the same sort of a
situation that existed in 1896. when
both the Republicans and the
Democrats wed with each other to
see how much they could frab off
for themselves of the platform of
the vigorous young third party, the
Populists. Between them they
killed the Populist party, but its
doctrines survived and every nj of
them is now the law of the land:
a only the free coinage of sill
yer; and that seems closer now
than at any time in nearly forty
years.
