new TURKEY CROP LOOMS
AS LARGEST ON RECORD

The biggest turkey crop on record
about 10000 900 birds-is reported by
the federal bureau of agricultural eco
nomics. This is third larger than last
years production of about 100000
turkeys, and compares with preceding
record crops of nearly 1900, 900 birds
in 1882 and 1888.
Many birds which go to market this
year viii be younger and of lighter
weight than usual on account of the
short feeding, the bureau believes. An
increased demand for turkeys was fore
cast owing to the somewhat smaller
supply of other meats In prospect and
to increased buying power Of consun-
ers. Production increases are reported
for all major commercial regions, with
the largest increases in the north CEN
trial and south central states which
normally produce about go percent Of
the total turkey crop.

West opened the deuce of spades.
Mr.. Boscowitz held the South
cards and played the nine spot
from dummy. When East played
the king, the trick was trumped
with the deuce of hearts.
The ace of hearts was cashed,
East showing out. A small heart
then was won in dummy with the
queen, and the queen of spades
played. East went up with the ace
and South trumped with the six
of hearts.
A small club was won in a
dummy with the king and the
jack of spades played. Declarer
did not discard his 4oSing dia-
mond, but the nine of clubs in
stead.
A small spade was ruffed with
the seven of hearts, thereby es-
tablishing dummy's six of spades.
Declarer now cashed the king of

lead by playing the nine of hearts.
West was forced to lead into one

Aging Papers on Statehouse Shelves
Tell of Relief Activities Since 1890
BY HELEN LINDSAY

They were undressing looking
packages, wrapped in brown paper.
They had lain on secluded shelves
in the Statehouse, where they es-
capped attention and accumulated
much dust.
But that dust could not efface the
human interest recorded there, for
they were the records of relief dis
pensing agencies in Indiana since
1890.
Through a strange coincidence,
they remained unused until pres
ent-day workers on relief rolls were
put to the task of compiling them
into workable form.
Interest in Old Records
Perhaps misery really loves COM
pany. Perhaps those workers, who
have learned all of the infections
used in pronouncing the word "de-
preston" get some satisfaction in
going over those old records, which
prove that the poor were a prob
lem to Indiana almost half CEN
fury ago.
The voluminous records of things
received by relief families in those
days were compiled by township
trustees, and sent to the State
Board of Charities in the State
house. Modern relief workers be-
lieved these records might offer
some help to them in their work
today, but upon investigation it was
found that it was almost impossible
to find any particular record among
them.
Too Busy For Job
When the State Library was
moved into it's new quarters, it was
impossible to have them correctly
catalogued, as each staff member
had so much other extra work there
was not sufficient personnel to I'M
dertake the job.
A, few weeks ago, the Works
Progress Administration took over
the task of placing these old rec
ords into disable form. -Four wom-
ell from relief agencies were assigned
to the work. Officials estimate it
will take them approximately nine
months to complete the project.
They are being sorted as to coun-
ties and townships, arranged al
phabetically by the last name of
the person receiving relief, wrapped
in sturdy packages and labeled by
county.
To Picture 1890 to 1888
When the records are completed,
they will present a picture in figures
OF relief work done in Indiana from
1890 to 1888.
Aside from the interest these
records will have for relief officials,
they probably will provide interest
ing data for consumers and mer-
chants. Among the earliest records
are many entries of "dry goods
and boots" Shoes were itemized
at $3.50 pair, and in 1890, &C
cording to these records, casket
and burial cost SO.
Coal, wood and gas for light and
heat were Important entries. One
record lists ''care of nurse, So"

Value of Outside Influences ON
Child Education Is Pointed Ont

Value of co-ordinating with the
school curriculum outside influences
having bearing on child education
was pointed out to parents and
teachers today in addresses before
local PIT. a.. groups.
Based on ner experiences during
more than 20 years in the work,
Mrs. David Ross, Indiana Photo
play Endorsers' president, told of the
effect of moving pictures on chill
dren.
Movies have a definite educa-
tional benefit" Mrs. Ross told the
PIT. A. organization at School 10.
They teach children history, give
them glimpses of beautiful scenery,
advise them of the costumes Of diff
ferent periods and make them music
conscious.
Denies Ill Effec.
''We need not fear the i'll effects
from certain moving pictures, as
some groups have pointed out, for
children do not care for sordid, sex
pictures. Questionnaires show that
they like serials, adventure, west
ern pictures, and pictures with
child-actors in them.
1--WE have found, too, that a
child's interest in reading is stimu-
lated by moving pictures adapted
from good books. And in the de-
preston, moving pictures offered a
relief from drab, Impoverished lives
of many children.

department in social gatherings and
dress, are taught many young peo-
pie through moving pictures" Mrs.
Ross continued. Because of that,
they have definite creative benefit.
Lauds Their Effect
eve have been asked, what effect
will moving pictures have on the
men and women of the future? We
can answer that by pointing to the
men and women of today, than
whom, in my opinion. there have
been no finer. They show the effects
of the movie industry. for the adult
generation today saw movies in their
childhood"
Miss Emma Colbert, assistant
dean at Butler University, compared
books of today with those of the
past in d talk on Literature for
Children" before the association at
School rs.
She listed as some of the best
books for children several originally
written for adults, including "Swiss
Family Robinson" and Robinson
Crusoe."
Literature has value for chill
dren in vocabulary building, arous-
ing intellectual activity, following
a sequence OF ideas, leading to
choice and judgment, and giving a
knowledge of people, places and
events Miss Colbert said.
Asks Adult Example
Mrs. Clayton Ridge, member of
the Board of School Commissioners
stressed the need for adults to set
an example for children.
"We need to teach them toler-
ance and open-mindedness," Mrs
Ridge said. 1--WE also must show
our children that spirit of Coop
GRAFTON and not competition is the
basis of success in life"
The difficult relationship between
mothers and daughters was dis
cussed by Miss Jenna Birks, Girl
Reserve director, in talk before
the group at School a.
"a mother needs to know more
about how friendships are formed;
know the interests and habits of the
group of friends her daughter
chooses, and then see that she is in
position of confidence and admi-
ration to help direct and lead the
group into ever interesting and on
going activities" Miss Birks said.
More homes where there is q
good friendly atmosphere should be
open to daughter and her friends
We need to drop false pride about
the need of new rug or servants
in the house before we can well
come groups of young people in our
homes or apartments.
1--WE need to recognize the element
of fair play between mothers and
daughters. We need to treat stu
ations important to daughters crea-
lively, without laying down rules
but in setting up objective points of
view," she told her audience.
