IS Youths On
NYA Projects
Five I'm Sank Centre Under Super
vision of Superintendent
w. A. Kohl

Seventy-five youths working on
the NYA conservation project have
built 127 bird shelters in the St
Cloud WPA district, according to a
report in the st. Cloud office. APP
proximately 1000 pounds of feed
corn, grain, and screenings have
been distributed by these youths
Approximately $500 pounds have
been donated directly to the organ
ization; the game wardens and
conservation clubs have furnished
the rest with NYA youths helping
to distribute it.
Wherever possible the NYA
youths work in cooperation with
the game wardens or local conser-
walton clubs. In districts where
this is not possible, the youths
work alone.
A summary of the work in
Stearns county is as follows:
st. Cloud; Two youths assist the
game warden; Holdingford: One
youth; Melrose, two youths assist
game warden; Paynesville: Three
youths assist game warden; AL
bany: Five youths work under the
direction of superintendent of
schools-23 shelters have been built
and maintained by corn feed; Sank
Centre: Five youths cooperate with
superintendent of schools, w. A.

built IL shelters; Waite Park: One
youth-eight shelters; st. Joseph
Two youths-S shelters; Belgrade:
One youth-10 shelters; Elrosa: One
youth-nine shelters; Cold Spring.
One youth, II shelters.
All youths who have been work
ing part time on WPA projects
have been transferred to NYA. The
change was made because it was
believed that the NYA projects
were more suitable for youths. The
change will go into effect at once
Approximately 140 youths have
been transferred, according to
John L. Sullivan, NYA supervisor
for the st. Cloud District.
Appropriations of funds for NYA
projects have been set to last until
June 80. New projects will be ar
ranged to take care of these ad-
ditional youths.

That rabbits have girdled some
Of my apple trees. What can do to
save them?
If the trees are two inches or
more in diameter and have been
completely girdled, 1t will be best
to resort to bridge grating. This
can be done best by someone with
experience. Trunks and limbs less
than two inches In diameter, which
have been completely girdled,
should be cut back to the healthy
bark and allowed to send forth new
shoots. If only part of the bark has
been removed, the wounds should
be covered with grating wax to
prevent drying and decay. If the
bark Of newly planted trees has
been eaten off to the ground, 1t
may be best to replace the trees
with new stock.
When trees are set out, wrap
them with window screen cut into
80 by 8 inch strips. To protect tree
tops that can not be wrapped,
spray or paint them with Sulfanol.

of cases of what seemed to be per-

Among them were stomach and
intestinal disturbances, malnutri-
ton, fatigue, and even chronic in
fections of the nose and throat and
eye defects.
Besides these, of course, changes
within the spine, itself, were found
that were due to tuberculosis or to
growth deformitories.
Ordinarily mass exercises and ex-
hortation do more harm than good

efforts to make the chemically

with the aid of x-ray should be
made first to find out just what is
causing the deformity. Posture ex-

scribed, then, and the child bene-

Observations From
Washington
No News From Home
(By Congressman Harold Knutson)

No News From Home
The past week was a quiet one in
our office due to the fact there were
no mails from home from Wednes-
day to Friday, all communications
being held up by the floods that
have been devastating the noun
tain regions Of eastern states. For
nearly a week we did not see q
Minnesota paper, but late Friday
evening the st. Cloud Times Jour
nal, for Monday, was brought into
the office and my readers can
imagine how welcome its appearan-
ce was. In a way the lull was well
come in that 1t gave me an oppor-
tunity to attend to several matters
that had been on my desk for some
time.
To give an idea Of the tremen-
dous damage done by the floods 1t
is only necessary to mention that
152 were killed or drowned, 10000
made homeless, and the property
damage Is estimated at over $780,
100000 It is going to take weeks to
rebuild the bridges and roads that
have been washed out and the hav-
oc caused by the damage to, and
destruction of tens of thousands of
buildings is going to create work
for great number.
A New David
Washington is viewing with inter-
est the fight being made by the
young Democratic Senator from
West Virginia, Rush d. Holt,
against the WPA administration in
his state. He has charged that it is
being used to build up a political
machine to further the reelection
of his colleague, Senator Nicely.
There are many who say that the
mantle Of the late Huey p Long
has fallen upon the colorful young
Senator, who has issued an invita-
ton to people living in other states
to send him any information on
WPA maladministration that they
may have.

Proletarian Gospel

Senator Benson delivered a radio
address last Friday evening where
In he declared, "the capitalistic
system has run its course" He
stated that capitalism must be sup
plemented by a system which gives
"the tillers Of our soil and work.
ers in our cities, those who produce
whether by brain or by Drawn,
economic security and a just share
in the wealth they produce" This
would seem to indicate that the
Cooperate Commonwealth will
again be an issue in Minnesota.
A Worthy Organization
A very considerable number of
Democratic House Members have
gone on the war path in protest Of
President Roosevelt's moves to cut
down the number of Civilian Con-
servation Corps camps and enroll
ments. am a firm believer in the
Civilian Conservation Corps which
has gathered many thousands of
idle young men and given them
good training. The CCC boys did
particularly good work in helping
to prevent serious forest fires dur
ing the drought and they are now
doing good work in preventing soil
erosion and in landscaping high
ways. do not look to see the activ-
tiles Of the organization greatly
curtailed at this time. The work
should be carried on until such a
time as these young men can be
absorbed in regular activities.
Necessary Work
There is growing feeling that
all relief money should hereafter
be spent entirely for necessary
projects, such as building depend
able farm-to-market roads, repair
ing the damage wrought by the
floods, and other similar works.
The President has asked for anoth-
err IL billion dollars for relief. Ac-
cording to our information he yet
has unexpended and largely I'M
promised, something like 51s billion
dollars voted him by previous ses-
sions Of Congress. It would seem
that this vast sum should first be
spent before more money Is asked
for and there are many Democratic
senators and representatives who
hold the same view.
