The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1934-01-25


the clouds, although from letters that
have poured into this Office recon-
mending that my "little shovel" con-
tinue to write this column, l might
as well stay up there.
He did exceptionally well for
starter and the letters all want him
to continue. Well, they might have
given me little credit in an indirect
way.
Speaking of the New Deal and the
Recovery program, letter to me dur
ing the past week stated that for
twenty-one years now every time the
"little shovel" wore out pair of
trousers, l would be recovering.
From the newspapers it seems that
the creators of the CWA now wish
they had created something else. They
either mean what they say or they
are just bluffing Congress into getting
another appropriation. A caller at
The Republican office this morning
stated, 81 don't see how a Christian
can be Democrat as things are just
now" Which may be true or may not
be true. If you agree, all right; if
you don't agree, take your spite out
on the caller, not me. l bruise so cas-
lily.
Last Thursday when a new ruling
of the CWA cut the hours for labor
down from 20 to Is per week, one of
the workers, who had been receiving
$3.50 per week, was heard to say:
"Well, l guess III have to go back to
my old job at the mines"
It's Just my own personal idea that
there are many people who actually
need the CWA, but just as many who
are on the list, simply because the
government is giving money away
and they want to be in on it. And IN
a way you can't blame them. The ones
who sit back and wait for somebody
to lay the money in their lap, are go
ing to wait long time, whether it's
in time of depression or prosperity.
If this relief could be given only to
those actually deserving and needing
it-but believe me, there are hundreds
of men living better today than they
ever lived before. And just ask fell
low who used to be day laborer to
dig a ditch or do some other kind OF
work around the house. They'll tell
YOU they don't need job of that kind
while they're getting paid by the
| CWA.
Well, the gold deadline has been ex-
tended again. Every time it is eX-
tended more gold comes pouring into
the banks of the country from peopl"
who were either boarding it or who
were unwilling to turn in their keep
sakes.
81 want to subscribe for The Re
publican" sal da customer the other
day. "Do you give subscriptions to
any other newspaper with The Re-
| publican" said a customer the other
! informed that this Office did not.
"Well, l want The Republican any
way" he insisted. "You can't find
the news of Garrett county in Chi
cage paper"
Right Floor, But Wrong Building
Two right young looking, not ex-
ceptionally clean boys came into the
office a few days ago. The larger Of
the two stepped up bravely. Pointing
to his smaller and younger compan-
ion, he said, HE wants to get his
tooth pulled"
After commencing him for his act
of bravery in thus telling me what the
| other fellow wanted, had to tell him
| that Doc Grants office was in the next
building and that he was in the wrong
pew.
