These are the first small fruits of the governments campaign to accomplish at a single stroke two objects: Get building trade work CTS back at work, and to build up the country's housing to some thing like a civilized status.
 Good Start Made
 These first results are only a small dribble. but it is something to see the first few drops fall in- to the building bucket, which has been pitifully empty since the crash of 1929.
 It is now four months since the public works administration form- ed the emergency housing corpora ton to stimulate both objects. And the actual finishing of houses, the actual moving in of people. who owe their homes to government activity, just has begun. Slow at the start, tremendous effort is be- ing made at Washington to get other projects under way in time to help relieve the unemployment tension that will come this summer when the CWA is disbanded.
 Hammers Pound Here
 There has been endless talk of government housing projects and slum elimination, endless blue prints and plans. Now come to Euclid, O., and hear the hammers pounding, see the saws bite into the white pine boards.
 Euclid is ., pleasant small town just cast of Cleveland along the shore of Lake Erie. spreading bacl, and over the high bluff that borders the lake mile from shore. It is no high-toned resi- dental suburb, but working n1en's community with its own in dustries.
 # was the first town to get an allotment of funds ($1,000,000) iron, the PWA for housing prof. ect. It was the first to break ground for 8 PWA home. It will be the first to move family into such a home unconnected with a subsistence project.
 Case We'll Presented
 Failure of many other commu- mites to get such funds allotted has led many of them to write to Mayor Charles L. Ely of Euclid to find how city officials did it.
 Tn, best answer is: Euclid went to Washington prepared Judge Stanley Orr, village solicit tor, tells how they showed first that new housing in Euclid not only was nice idea, but press ing need. They offered a non- profit organization to do the. building.
 They had no land to sell, but

are made to a bank, which acts as trustee for the corporation and go- between for it and the PWA. All the labor employed is local, whenever such can be obtained in Euclid. Masons, carpenters, plas- tercrs. painters, bricklayers, tin- smiths, and sheet-metal workers, plumber electricians, composition roofers, tile -setters, and common laborers of Euclid have benefited by Federal Public Works Project No. l.. (R61O) which is dotting the streets of Euclid with trim, sub- stantial little houses.
 Workers Build Homes The first house to be completed here will be occupied by Fred Cook, a building trades worker. The second by Paul Bastaich, an em- ploye of an auto body company. The third by Charles J. Reisch. a steam-fitter at present unemployed, but who had resources making his loan secure.
 That is the clue to the Euclid de- velopment. Others who have homes under contract include brakeman, a motion picture machine operator, d HOIOIHldH, tI AdSloAS ouPS. dent, a shipping department fore man, an automobile agent, a rail- road clerical employe, and workers in electrical and stove plants in Euclid.
 This is no de luxe suburbia, but a workingman's community.
 Town officials and others have given literally of their time to the Housing Corporation. The town has gained from the natural slight "boom'' in real estate that followed announcements of the plan.

Model Village Voted
 Wet Despite Pledge
Millionaire Coal Baron Exacted Promise From Towns
 people to Stay Dry for 50 Years

Hudson, 0. - (UP)-When the late James w. Ellsworth, million aire coal baron and rabid dry en- thusiast, left this struggling little town in 1893 and returned IA years later an influential and pow erful figure, he exacted a promise from the villagers.
 He called his townspeopie to- gether, told them that the ap- pearance of the town no longer suited his taste and that he would build it into a model New Eng land village providing the good townsfolk would vote dry for 50 years, and elect his selection of officers to power.
 Hudsonites readily assented. . Ellsworth installed sewage disposal plant, an electric plant, a water system and sewage system. He pulled down fences, painted houses white with green trim and red tile roofs. Abolished hitching posts and buried telephone wires.
 Huson soon became the model village James w. promised the townspeople. But it wasn't long before dissenting voices were heard from the ranks of. the "old timers" While it was plain to them that the town had benefited tremendously they suspected time would come when the village would be entirely "Jim's" town. Nevertheless they voted dry in 1908 and again in 1910.
 The millionaire. went on with his work of improving and fulfill ing his promise. In addition to his other Improvements he erected a modern school house, club house and countless other build- ings.
 1914 marked the first step of the rebellion against the Els worth dynasty. The people of Hudson voted one of their own men into public office in oppo- sition to an Ellsworth backed

man. Ellsworth retaliated by tell ing the town that they would have use of the school he built up to September, 1915, but no longer.
 The town replied by building its own school.
 In the last election Hudson voted wet and for the first time openly violated the 25-year-old promise it had made the "anthra- cite king"
 Hudson has lost its New Eng land trimness.
 Some of the roofs have lost their red tile, telephone wires may be seen above street levels and 3.2 per cent beer flows from drug countries, and with the signing of the liquor bill by Governor George White making whiskey legal in Ohio, Hudson is "wet."
 The kingdom of Ellsworth has definitely toppled.

 That is, if a man suddenly were to move to California, he might sell, but he can't sell just for profit. Nor can such a house be rented for more than the carrying charges.

Now a pace-changing tango. Good popular music Now for WDRC and a Hollywood program that sounds bit tinny. Uh huh, electrical transcription We'll stay in Connecticut and try WICC. That orchestra sounds familiar as it plays Love Locked Out. And it turns out to be Larry Funk, playing over the Yankee network
 And now WICC has an cleo trical transcription but We refuse to stay tuned in even if it does fea- ture the grand singing of Donald Novis So for a little dial rambling that brings in mainly stock market quotations, kid sketch and cooking class, all from the midwest Back to WICC, and we seem to be in dance music mood tonight. This time it's the orchestra from the Metropoli- tan in Boston And it's still showing out, so let's try our luck again There's some band or other numbering Spin A Little Web of Dreams' The net works should have something to of- fer now Yes, there's Shirley Howard doing some nice warbling with the testers on WEAF '. Wonder how Adele Starr will be tonight? There she is, singing the lasting "Blue Room" and doing all right by it . It's 8 o'clock al- ready and Vallee Varieties time So we'll settle back for a while Elizabeth Love doing some nice work in a rather trite one act play :.

The motion picture, "All Quiet on

served for posterity. A copy of the
film should be on hand in every viii

big business is waving the flag to the
tune of blaring brass bands and
preaching heroism on every corner,
mothers and sons will see war in its
true reality-the dying shrieks of ter
rOr-stricken youngsters, slaughtering
each other on the field of battle. In
that case big business might find an
other way to settle their disputes.

| In a recent address in the Twin
Cities, Governor Olson stated that the
proposal for the state printing Of text
books for the schools was an eco
nomic measure in the interest solely
of making an education more easy of
attainment for the average student.
Selection of material for the books
would be continued as at present. For
a period of fifteen years, he pointed
out, beginning in 1877, Minnesota print
ed books for its schools. There are
today about ten states in the Union
that print the school text books.
Here is some food for thought,
spoken recently by Rev. Father Charles
E. COughlin: THE farmers of this
nation are asked whether or not they
shall choose between the sOphistry of
an obsolete political economy and the
gospel of Jesus Christ. Some day
your children shall rise up to curse
you should you fail because in apathy
you feared to raise your hands against
a tyranny more loathsome than that
practiced by parents who sacrificed
their sons and daughters to the idol OF
old, to heinOus tyranny 10000 times
more frightful in its eXactions than
that suffered politically by the fathers
of your country"
The analysis of the Farmer-Labol
platform definitely erased misrepre
sensations deliberately created by the
opponents, particularly that the party
has gone communistic and was against
private ownership of property and
business. The analysis states that
the position of the party is that the
possess enough private property be-
cause of large concentrations OF
wealth in the hands of few and that
it acts as the protector of small bust
ness against Vaccinations of trust;
and mOnopolies and chain stores tC

business.
More than S1,OOO,OO0 has been col
