THE WORK RELIEF PAYRoLLs

The situation in the matter of work relief pay
rolls ought to provoke serious thinking on the
subject of public works or forced industry as
means of business recovery.
An official count of the people on work relief
payrolls in the United States is announced from
Washington
There are less than a million of the three and
half million the President expects-or expected
to put to work with his four billion dollar work
relief fund.
The count is 936,21S And half of these or more
are in the CCC.
Harry L. Hopkins, works progress administrator,
talks about having the whole three and half mil
lion at work by Nov l.
That, indeed is the time when men most need
to have work in preparation for the coming winter
But with more than two years gone by of the
effort to put men back to work by the expenditure
of great sums of government money, the prospect
is not really encouraging for bringing prosperity
back by that method at least until we get to that
place in government where refrain from
mixing politics with our economes.-Rock Hill, s..

refer to the view of Mr.. Rex Beach, veteran pio-

governmental activity Mr. Beach recently wrote
that the best estimate of the ultimate cost of these
zoe families was So, OOO,OOO that no one believed
more than so families would stick it out. The cost
to the taxpayers for these so, therefore, would be
$1Qa00O per family.
After citing the fact that there are in the same

for years to make living without conspicuous sue

LAID HIMSELF OPEN

Far be it from any imputation that President
Roosevelt's letters seeking the counsel of the Char
lotte ministers and assumably, of ministers from
coast to coast, is sly political move to engage
their good favor for next years purposes. The
chances are that Chief Politician jim Farley did no
more about the letter than to approve it enthusi-
asticaly and distribute it, very carefully, through
out the land.
1t would be interesting to know how many cor
scientious ministers take Brother Roosevelt to task
for the number of recent divorces in his family, fo-
his indulgent liberalism with reference to hquo:,
and the openly charged ofense that he attends Di-

FORESTS CAN BE SAVED BY BEING

When the Civilian Conservation Corps
,,,os sent into the woods with its axes, Its
picks and shovels, lovers OF the great OUT
doors sat back comfortably and concluded
that Americas wilderness areas were at
last to be made safe for the bull moose the
red squirrel, and the future generation.
But it develops that this sigh OF rehe1
was little premature.
Few organizations have more alert IN
terest in our wilderness heritage than the
American Nature Association; and this
group. speaking in the current issue OF Ma

forests are actually endangered by actlVl-
Ties of the outfit that was supposed to pro-
tect them-the CCC.
This isn't the Gees fault. The point is
that one of the jobs given the CCC has
been to build roads through the forests;
and the Nature Magazine article protests
that no one in Washington seems to realize
that if you build enough roads into will
derness. and dot it with hotels and camp
sites, it very speedily ceases to be will

For nine years preceding this
momentous event, Bleriot had built
10 airplanes in a slow. costly and
dangerous struggle to master the
mysteries of flight. In that period,
however, he had been first to fly a
monoplane, first to put the engine
in the nose, first to place rudder,
elevators and stabilizer at the tail,
and first to use wheels for landing
gear.
France commemorated Bleriot's

DANGEROUS VENTURES

Man is always killing himself
with his venturesOmeneSs or maim-
ing himself. His, explorations into
new worlds have always cost him
dearly. His Investigations, his eX
periments, his inventions take in
creasing toll of human life and
limb.
But should man refuse to VEN
ture because disaster may befall
him? He should not and he could
not. Virtually all the progress Of
mankind has come through risky
pioneering. That work should be
done by those who are courageous
enough and gifted enough to do
it.
But there is a vast difference
between courage and foolhaTGi-
ness.
The world has been immeasur-
ably blessed by its courageous,
constructive thinkers and doors;
and UNNECESSARILY harmed by per-
sons who, though nervy, were
