tleman, that those two bad little
bunnies of mine found two white
shells on the beach. With the other
children, Buster and Muster were
looking for pink shells to sell you
as I told them to do so they would
have a little work to do each day"
Yes" barked the Sea Dog. Il
will buy all the pink shells your
bunnies bring me. I can sell them
again But white shells I cam
sell"
mo, you can't" agreed Uncle
Wiggily, "They are too common.
But here is what happened. My
two bad bunnies, Buster and Mus
ter, not finding any pink shells,
picked up two white ones. Then
they must have bought straw
berry ice cream cone and used it
t ocolor the white shells pink"
"I should think they would eat
the cone" said the Dog.
VERY likely they ate all of the
cone except just enough to color
the shells pink" said Uncle Wig
gily. Then they came here and
did very wrong in making you be-
llieve they were real pink shells"
"I certainly thought they were" "
whined the Sea Dog. Il haven't
very good eyes. But I certainly saw
pink on the shells at the first.
What made them turn white?"
IT suppose the strawberry ice
cream ran off or dried out in the
sun" said the rabbit gentleman.
"Oh, dear! To think I have such
bad little bunnies.
rs there no way of making
Buster and Muster good?" asked
the Dog.
7 am going to try!" said Uncle
Wiggily, firm like but sad.
Eating Ice Cream Cones
He hoped away to find the
two rabbits and saw them sitting
on piles of seaweed, eating two
more ice cream cones which they
had bought with the ten cents the
Sea Dog had given them for white
shells wrongly colored pink One
look at their fathers face and
Buster and Muster knew their
trick had been found out. They
were very much ashamed for
cheating the poor old Sea Dog.
you have made me very sad,'
said the father.
I'VE are sorry" said Buster. But
we have spent the money, and we
have eaten the cones we bought,
so what can we do about it?'
I'VE would like to do something
good to make up for what we did
bad" said Muster.
That's the way to talk" ex-
claimed his father. "Then you
shall do this. You must look for
and find two real, pink shells to
give to the Sea Dog in place OF
the strawberry colored ones you
sold him"
Look for Pink Shells
And not take any money for
them" said Buster.
That's the ideal" said his fa-
ther. Now start and look. You
may not play until you have found
two real pink shells. That will be
a punishment for you for being
bad"
The two little rabbits knew
this was right. So they hoped UP
and down the beach, looking for
pink shells, yellow shells, green
shells. They looked all day. Mean
while their brothers and sisters
had fun playing. But Buster and
Muster might not play. They must
work. They found brown shells.

many white ones. But it was not

HELPING THE YOUTHS

There should be, and probably is, con-
siderable interest in the federal govern
ment's apprentice training plan, designed
to give employment and chance for
normal lives to several hundred thou
sand youngsters who have left school
but who are unable to find work due to
present conditions.
Under the apprentice training plan
committees will be named in each state
to study conditions and obtain work for
the younger menl and presumably Wom-
en-. Officials assert there is lack of
skilled workmen today, though the state
ment may be questioned in view of the
large number of unemployed in the var
ious trades.
However, any plan which has the vel
fare of youth as its objective, should
certainly be given every encouragement.
The CCC program has been praised as
one of the best activities Of the new
DEAL
The apprentice training plan hopes TO
do something for other youths, possibly
not eligible for the CCC program.
There is little or no doubt that the
conditions which youngsters of today
face on leaving school, is responsible for
the heavy percentage Of crime commit
ted by mere youngsters. They are
through WlUn IneIf education, dS IdI ao
they desire to go; there are no Jobs for
them and they have nothing but empty
hours on their hands.
If they cannot get money for personal
needs and recreation by legitimate
means, the only alternative is to get it
any way they can and that is Just what
far too many of our youths are doing to-
day. An older generation scolds them
and lifts up its hands in holy horror at
the wreckage of young lives, but hereto
fore has done little or nothing CONSTRUCT
i've to help the youngsters over this criti-
cal period in their lives.
Even if the apprentice training plan
should be a money loser, it will be worth
all it costs if it helps only fraction Of
the estimated half million idle and un-
trained youngsters to catch hold Of them
selves and turns their energy into useful
work.

Chan Livingston who is in charge of
the federal state unemployment office in
FL CentrO Is doing splendid work and
should be commended for the impartial
ity displayed in dividing the calls for
Jobs throughout the county. When call
comes in for men wanted for some Spe-
cial line of work he scans the lists until
he finds those best qualified for the work
they are expected to do. Then he calls
the ones selected, issues proper creden-
tials and they are ready to report for
the Job to which they are to be assigned.
Livingston has the complete coopera-
ton of the contractors on the All-Amer-
lean canal. When they have openings
for men, they send requisitiOn to Liv-
ingSton and he is prompt in replying to
their request.
Each applicant for jobs must be sub
jected to thorough questioning to sat
iSfy the employment office first-if he is
an American citizen and secondly, if he
is a legal resident of the county. If some
one drifts in from the outside and seeks
a job on the canal and this particular
person is very apt to meet up with hard
lucd-for the regulations of the public
works administration making only Am
erican citizens and legal residents Of the
county eligible for employment are be-
ing rigidly enforced.
Many drifters have come in axd at
tempted to obtain jobs on the canal, but
according to Livingston they do not get
very far before being discovered that
they cannot meet the qualifications
If some one should slip Dy under false
pretenSes and later found to have OBJ
tanned work through misrepresentation,
dismissal follows.
There is only one agency through
which employment can be obtained on
the canal and that is Livingston's office.

tractors on the canal
