Community Chest Dollars in Action

pointed out that the husband had
done his best while he had a job and
that even now he was working on the
relief rolls rather than merely ac-
cepting charity. She finally brought
out the girls story.
1.-The young wife had become dis
couraged. Friends she had known
before her marriage were still going
to movies-still dancing. They urged
her to join them. She had gone a
few times with other girls and there
had been a man who was attracted
to her, but her only crime so far
had been that of thoughtleSsness. The
worker soon made her see the danger
of the path she was treading.
Friends of the man we're located
friends who could do more than Just
sympathize with him-friends who
would have helped him earlier had
they known of his trouble Through
the influence of one of these friends
he got a regular job again. 1t was
not much of Job. but it paid a
lot more than the relief roll paid.
The Happy Ending.
Now everything is serene again
The husband is working and Mabel
is again finding pleasure in her home
The worker has also located for them
woman nearby. who, for small
sum, will stay with babies in the
evenings occasionally. so that movies
and other Inexpensive amusements
again are a part Of their lives. The
money borrowed for the funeral is
almost all paid and the family is
going to make go of things again.
Just one more example of what
can be done by the trained socia
worker without the expenditure o.
funds for relief ana of the fact that
real help is often more than the mere
matter of food. clothing or housing

the protection of the Frazier-Lemke
law and obtained, in district court
and Circuit Court Of Appeals, ap-
proval of:
A five-year stay of all proceedings

this figure at $4,425.
Once Slated for Discard.
The Frazier-Lemke measure, with
only lukewarm White House support,
but already passed by the House, was
scheduled for oblivion by Senate lead
ers as the close Of the last session
approached.
However, agarian and liberal ele-
ments in both parties joined in a
filibuster against legislation consid-
cred vital by the administration. They
asserted they would allow the admin
istration measures to pass only If the
farm bill and the then pending rail-
way pension bill got through also.

The measure reached the White
House, among some uncertainty as
to whether President Roosevelt would
sign it. He did, but issued sinful

gage holders would suffer by evasion
of debt payments under the bill.

Il just can't stand it any longer
If it weren't COR the babies, Id light
out and leave it all"
He was a husky young fellow, prob
ably 80 and he nervously twisted q
handkerchief in his hands as he stood
before the social worker at the Life
Adjustment Center a branch OF tie
Washington Institute for Mental Hy-
giene His was the story Of a home
on the verge of breaking, due to un-
settled conditions.
Things went all right while had
a Job" he told the worker Mabel
took a lot of pride in keeping oul
little apartment nice and had lot OF
fun learning to cook new dishes. We
managed all right, even with the two
babies which came along, and we had
little money for movies and a dance
once in a while. when we could get
her mother to keep the children.
Then Mother Moved In.
"Mabel's father died and her mother
was left without a cent. She had
never learned to work outside her home
and she was lost. The only thing we
could do was to let her sell her furni-
ture and move in with us. THAI
crowded things bit, but we managed
to get along.
Then the man I was working fol
went broke. That left me without
job, but still I didn't worry. 1 hao
always worked and felt sure that
could get another job. I never knew
until then how many men, with bet
ter educationS than I have, were hunt
ing work.
"Our money went and finally l hao
to apply for help. They gave me
little work at the emergency relief
enough to buy food, at least, for our
family. Then MabelS mother dleo
and we had to borrow some money to
help pay for her funeral.
Wife Grows Negligent.
Cant say that blame Mabel, but
the strain began to tell on her and she
began to neglect our little home ano
the babies. When I mentioned these
things to ner she told me that she
was still young, liked good time ano
that if 1 couldn't make the money fol
the things she wanted there were
others who could. She took to stay
ing out at nights, and while l don't
mind taking care of the babies-lovt
to do it, in fact-I worried about what
she could be doing. Finally decided
that there must be another man, but
she only laughed at me and told mt
10 try to find out.
Il can't leave the babies alone, sc
I can't find out. I don't know What
to do, but a lady at the Community
Chest advised me to come here"
The worker started tactful inves-
tigation of the case. The wife, still
in her twenties and good looking, was
somewhat sullen when approached by
the worker.
Il don't consider my actions any Of
your business" she said.
The worker urged the mother tt

DOG RACERS MAY
 FACE CONTEMPT

Dighton, Mass, June 22-(UP) Owners of Dighton's new dog racing track paced possible con. tempt proceedings today for op- erating last night allegedly in de- lance of court injunction.
 Superior Judge James c. Dom nelly. at Boston yesterday, ruled the track common nuisance since .Dighton selectmen had not ap- proved it's establishment. He en- joined the Bristol county Kennel Club from "using or continuing the use of its race ground in the town of Dighton.'
 Club officials, however, said the decree would be appealed and that the order would be automatically stayed until final decision was reached. They further pointed out that Judge Donnelly's order would not be filed until this morning and hence would not affect last nights meet.
 Town officials, represented by Attorney Mark NJ. Horblit, were ex- pected to start contempt proceed ings in Suffolk superior court at Boston today. Es
 About 2000 persons, one-sixtli the capacity of the track, attend- ed last nights races. The track was opened Wednesday.

Fifty-two weeks ago tomorrow, early on a hot June afternoon, John Crow, middle-aged Wolcott recluse, drove up to the Yuskis homstead on the Wolcott road, shot and killed Clarence Yuskis, 22, and Julius Karvauskas, A, and wounded Yuskis' mother, raced down the road in his car & few hundred yards, abandoned the machine, dashed into woods, and disappeared. From that hour the murderer has been unseen and un- heard of, successfully escaping n search conducted by some 40 state policemen, a crew of Wolcott con. stables, and n volunteer posse.
 It was Juno 24th, year ago next Monday, that John Crow killed his Wolcott neighbors for reasons that have never been def initely known. Like phantom he vanished completely from sight and has safely thus far escaped a rigorous, tireless, state police hunt for his whereabouts.
 Suicide Was Surmised
 Many felt at first that Crow hat committed suicide dop In the fast nesses of the Wolcott forests, bu as months went by and his body was not discovered, the general opinion now Is that the killer made Q safe escape from the vicinity and that he is now alive and safe far from Wolcott and Waterbury A badly decomposed body was found in southington reservoir in Wolcott q short time ago, and it was thought for time that it

 Despite the wind the clipper was averaging approximately. 120 miles an hour and Capt. Edwin s. Musick reported 1t was flying ''beauti- fully" Musick and his crew, the same men who took the clipper on its previous trip to Honolulu to test the feasibility of regular com mercial service, were delighted with the chance to try their ship in bad weather.

 New orleans, La, June 22-(U P)--The federal government in- tervened with funds and moral support today to prevent the New Orleans m u n icipal government from falling into the hands of Senator Huey F. Long, vocal and indomitable enemy of the Roose- welt administration.
 The federal emergency relief administration advanced funds that assured continued operation of 10 vital municipal services.
 Observers generally agreed that had the federal funds not been forthcoming. the old regular po- lltical oranization, in nominal con- trol of municipal government, would have been forced to sur. render within few days to its in- placable foe, Senator Long.
