CEREALs, rich in starch and containing small
~ amounts of proteins, are the backbone of the
nutrition most of the earths races.
AS rule. the grain products the cheapest
food fuels obtainabe. All have the amount
of mneral ingredients but their vitamins not
important, unless the germ of the grain is included
Furnishing energy at a reasonably low cost
paatable, and with some dietary essentials, the
cereals represent a real contribution to a persons
diet
Corn. rice, barley. and oat kernels constitute
about one-third of the total calories taken
into the body. For the world a whole, rice
to be even more important than wheat, but in
western Europe and in the United States wheat
takes the leading place.
Many dietary authorities are convinced that it
is essential to eat whole grains dark products
rather than the refined substances.
TUfIS claim is based on the fact that it is neces-
Il. sary to supplement the refined products with
other foods to make the mineral and vitamin content
satisfactory Such supplementing requires extra
thought and additional cost.
In the Orient large groups of people get along
in apparently good health on diet in which about

ployed by son, daughter, or
spouse, children under 81 en-
ployed by parents, public en-
ployes, and employees of nonprofit
institutions.
Criticisms of the Unemployment
Compensation plan stress its du-
plication of taxes, the confusion
sure to result from varying state
systems, its failure to use Federal
income taxation for financing, the
likelihood of administrative COM
plications, and the fact that the
Federal government stands to
make profit.
Retaining 10 per cent of the
Federal tax, it will pay state adj
ministrative expenses estimated
at little more than per cent of
the tax, indicating a possible
profit of 80 or 40 millions a year.
Also, when states exclude sal
aired workers above a certain in
come level, the Treasury goes
right on collecting the tax on to-
tai pay rolls. And when a state
has no unemployment insurance
law, your Uncle Sam profits the
whole tax.

and give the people jobs.
Back behind the dam, for miles
and miles, the rolling country is
bare of anything but weeds. 1t is
awesome, in land of mountains
and forests. No houses, no trees,
no living thing. 1t looks like a
battlefield.
Thousands of mountain men
have been at work for months,
clearing this land of all timber,
tearing down old houses, devasting
it. This is because the area will
soon be lake, and IVA does not
want any distractions under
water.
Thirty-five hundred families
were moved out of this region.
The government bought their
land. 1t let them tear down their
buildings, and take the lumber.
You see where a house stood, and
nothing there now but the weird
front steps, standing all alone.
You come to what was town.
Now there are just few piles of
rubbish, all that is left of the
homes after the owners took them
away.
The University of Tennessee
studied all eastern Tennessee,
helped these people buy new
homes, usually much better than
they had. 1t helped place those
who were tenant farmers:

people didn't want to go, and

feeling of sentimentailty about

And dormitories for the single
men.
Everything is electrical - heat,
cooking, refrigeration, lighting,
everything. The power comes
from Muscle Shoals, 200 miles
away, but as soon as Norris Dam
is finished it will come from there.
The people pay rent, and their
monthly rent checks include what
might be called the local taxes

ments, water system, schools, The
school is the finest in eastern

Norris is a lovely place. People
like to live there. And it shows

state law permits them to reduce
payments to the state fund as a
result of a good employment rec
ord of adequate reserves, subject
TO certain Federal restrictions.
States are given almost COM
plete discretion in setting up their
own systems. They may charge
the entire cost to employers or
divide it with employees or the
state itself, They may set up sep
arate individual employer &C
counts or pool all contributions.
The Security Act only demands
that, when the states employers
are to be granted that 80 per
cent credit, laws must provide:
Administrative methods approved
by the Ssh, payment of compen-
sation through public employment
Offices or other approved agencies,
fair hearings before impartial
tribunals when appeals for COM
pensation are denied, and full
Ssh access to the books of state
systems.
TINE Ssh may cut states off its
Il approved list if it finds its
regulations are not being complied
with or if eligible persons are be-
ing denied compensation.
An individual refusing to work
because a job is vacant due to
labor trouble, because wages,
hours, or work conditions are
worse than those prevailing in the
locality, or because he would be
required to join a company union
or quit labor union may not be
denied compensation.
Laws of New York, Wisconsin,
Utah and the District of Columbia
call for no contributions from
employees. Others assess workers
as we'll as employers.
Laws of New York, New Hamp-
shire, washington and Utah ap-
ply to employers of four or more
and that of the District of Co.
lumbia covers employers of one
or more.
The general rate of compensa-
ton provided is so per cent of

cedar trees, planted by IVA. You
can see a fine crop of clover on a
hillside, where the farmers used
to try to raise corn. It's ferti-
lized with IVA phosphate.
You drive back up the edge of

Take Liberties With Poetic License

DY exercise of poetic license the author invests
ID the bellies of Abyssinia with certain girlish
charm, ignoring much testimony by returned trav-
elers that the little pretties of Ethiopia habituay
their hair with rancid grease and do not smell
nice.
Little Black Face" goes like this:
If now you look from the highlands to the sea-
Little black face, slave among slaves,
You will in a beautiful dream
A tricolor unfurl for you.
Our law is the bondage of love,
But freedom of life and thought.
We BlackshirtS will free you,
Little back-face AbySSinian belle"
The Italians have equivalent after all these
years, of the American "Good-by Dolly Gray" This
one is popular in night clubs of Rome But unlike
Little Black Face" is not much favored among
school children. 1t says:
THE battalions march to the station.
Bravely the line of bold Blackshirts pass
The train leaves. At every window the soldiers
JoyouSly repeat the refrain:
CHORUS
"Good-by dear Virginia.
I'm off to Abyssinia.
But shall return.
I'll send you beautiful flower picked under
equatorial skies.
Good-by, dear Virginia
I'm gong to Abyssina.
Later l shall return.

"At the side of the ardent young soldier
Stands the veteran with medals on his breast.

A Rusty Sense of Irony

TT TOOK two poets to achieve the romantic illu-
Il sion expressed in the march called "Africanea,
the Flower of Abyssinia" And wonder for this
is the chorus:
Flower of Abyssinia beautiful flower, African maid
In the shade of the trcoor you will be yet
beautiful;
Our Italy will your new Fatherand and will
protect you.
The burning flame of love- African maid free
your heart of slavery.
And in your heart will sound the eternal song of
glory and hymn of liberty"
The recent capture of Aduwa where the Ital-
1anS suffered unfortunate miShap in 1885, is
celebrated in stirring number which says, in
part:
"As brilliant victory cleaning in golden sky passes
by,
The drums beat, the cannons cease to BOOM
How thrilling!
Fly and tell the world. Aduwa has been indicated"
1t should be explained that italians have no
sense OF irony and that promises of freedom under
Fascism are absolutely earnest. Similarly they
are not at all embarrassed by the fact that the So
called battle of Aduwa involved no more action
than an ordinary family row. Yet Americans are
regarded as a boastful crew. and George M. Cohan's
Over There" is still remembered as the a-time

REGULATE THEM ALL

State Senator A. M. Murfin has intro
duced a bill that should have the approval of
every citizen on this side of the state. It
would give the department of public works
the same power to regulate and supervise
municipal utilities as now exercised over
private utilities, and would require the same
annual and other reports from such utilities.
This move should go further. 1t should
require that municipal utilities pay state
taxes identical with those charged against
privately owned companies.
There is no justice in assessing Okano-
gan county citizens to make up for the taxes
that Seattle and Tacoma citizens are escap-
ing because their municipal utilities are not
carrying their fair share of the tax burden.
