 Rescttiement officials think that they're avoiding any possibility of subsidizing low wages by choosing high wage cities with diversified inc dugtries and leasing homes instead of selling.
 Some Subsidy Likely
 Tn all probability there will be an element of subsidy In these "greenbclt communities" Nobody knows how much the government will spend over and above what 1t can collect. Nor can anyone be sure how much rent Resettled families will have to pay.
 The community residents also will be unable to tax big indus trial and commercial properties to help support their schools, sewers, playgroundS, and other commu- nity facilities.

Work We'll Started

Construction IS speeding along hJ Berwyn, where nearly 2500 men mostly WPA Workers-are engaged and where goevrnment workers will live. It has barely begun at Clncin- natl and Milwaukee and the Boundbrook is temporarily tied Up b. litigation.
 Situated near industrial cities, these communities are being built on raw land within committing disance of factories and office buildings, with the aim of putting every acre to maximum economic use.
 They arc planned for families in the $l200 to $500 range, and 1t is hoped that the houses can be made available at about $6 a month a room. The objcctives arc good hous- ing and 6 healthy environment at minimum cost for families which now can afford only sub-standard homes.
 New homes arc beyond the reach of about 70 per cent of city families and Administrator Rexford c. Tug well says that if the philosophy of these communities is right, and their plans well drawn, they are bound to affect the architects and builders who must erect millions of American homes in the next few years.
 Idea Approved by Experts Tn general, the idea has been recommended by many bodies Of experts, including committees of Herbert Hoover's conference on home building and home ownership in 1881. Relief of slum congestion is q primary objective. Suburban land can be bought much cheaper than Blum real estate and in wide tracts it offers far better opportun. ity for scientific planning.
 The "greenbelt" iS q protective area of farming and forest land. perhaps half a mile wide which surrounds the community. Farmers operating there will sell their prod- uco inside the belt tot he commun- ity dwclerS, and there will be garden plots available for those among the latter who want to raise their own vegetables.
 Farmers and city workers will share the same recreation areas and community facilities, with an exchange of fruits of agricultural labor for wages of industry and reduction to minimum of trans portation, distribution, and middle man charges for food.

 Washington, May o.-One of the yarns you don't hear any more in the gossip trading posts of the cap- ital is the ono about Joe Kenned, ex-chairman of SEC, being made secretary of the treasury.
 Tubs Of butter have been spread on Mr. Kennedy by writers who dwelt on the allegations that Ken- nedy made . personal sacrifice by accepting the SEC job. They said that It was . fine thing to have such an able, sound, twO-ASted millionaire in the government and that 1t would be good for the country # Roosevelt could recruit more such hlghmlnded and sane conservatives, filled with zeal for the public service.
 Of course this didn't quite square with the conception of cer- tain cynical insiders.
 Kennedy, a Wall street man who had participated in one of the stock market pools exposed by Ferdinand Pecora, was one of the four men who had originally tossed in $i0,000 apiece for Roose- vclts pre-convention expenses, Hence these cynics held, he could demand any job he wanted, even in the face of general opposition, and they felt that he came to make the SEC safe for Wall street.

night.
Six years ago another cham
pionship Ell Centre football team
met and defeated Escondido high
20-6 in a playoff game that gave
the Spartans the Southern Cali
fornia class B title.
The 1880 El Centro gridders were
given only one chance in four to
take Ed Goddard and his team
mates down the line but the deter
mined, hard hitting Spartan ma
chine was not to be denied.
Davis Wynne, playing with his
arm in cast. ran one of Goddard's
punts back seventy-five yards to a
touchdown. He outpassed Goddard,
outpunted Goddard and outfield-
generated Goddard.
The entire Central team played
inspired ball. Tackett time and
time again broke through the Es-
condido line to smack Goddard
down behind the line of scrim-
mage. Heald charged through
from his center position to break
up the Esc0ndido running attack
and Belch, Moore, Gonzalez and
Fisher were continually breaking
up pass plays and attempted
thrusts through the Ell Centre
line.
Hammer. Price and Edgar played
great ball in the baekfield and as
a result the Ell Centrans emerged
victorious.
Friday night the Central football
ers will again take the field against
EScondido as the underdog The
1886 Spartan team is equally as
good as the team Of 1880 and if the
Central team can work up that old
fire that carried Wynne and his
crew TO victory. we will be able to
say on Saturday morning that
Kirkpatrick, Damron, Burke, Ma
pier, Aaron, Smith. Voorting. Lee,
Mouser, Ballou, Childers and Zinn,
carried the Centralites TO a specta-
cular win over a strong Eseondido
team.

RY HENRY McLEMORE

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 2. UP)-I went
Quail hunting a la state of Florida
yesterday and all I 5agged was
windshield. two spare tires, and a
fender.
Wait a second Don't write me
off as looney before I explain that
in the commonwealth of scrub pine,
palmettos and sand. the quail is
hunted from the seats of an auto
mobile as it runs headlong through
the woods.
Only the old fashioned huntsmen
pursue quail on foot, and there are
very few of them. More than eighty
per cent Of all the birds that will
be served on toast in the state this
season will be victims of two-door
Daniel Boones, rumble seat nim-
rods, and dashboard Dianas.
On my hunt I drew scornful
rebuke from my companions when,
arriving al the dead end of a coun-
try road deep in the country, I
bounded out of the car with the
dogs and prepared to follow them
through the woods. Get back IN, y
the driver told me. well follow
them in the car. Think we're going
to walk all day."
what are you going TO use for
road?" 1 asked. This was per-
fectly sensible query. too, for the
dogs had bounded into the bushes,
and there wasn't even so much as a
wagon trail in sight AS far as the
eye could see the palmetto were
waist high and thick as your closed
fingers. Tree stumps stippled the
few clearings.
Before I could subject my COM
panions to a simple sanity test they
had the car rolling and rocking
through the bushes. I clambered in
the rumble seat and held on. Flat
tening bushes after the manner OF
steam roller, and hopping stumps
and roots, the car soon caught up
with the dogs, and for half an hour
Imperial Valley press., 1936-12-02

we battled through the underbrush
with the pointers running along
side
Then the dogs working on the
left, or steering wheel side, went
to a point.
Nov these guys will get out"
I mumbled to myself through lips
lashed by low hanging pine branch
es. They won't actually shoot
from the car"
I was wrong. They rang the car
past the dog and the clang Of the
motor, plus lusty toot of the
horn, flushed the covey
Bang Bang! Bangl The first two
bangs" brought down birds. The
third bang" which was mine, and
which was fired from the depths
of the rumble seat, riddled the left
front fender. After two more coveys
had been flushed, and I had added
the spare tire and part of the wind
shield to my bag, my companions
explained that I had already ex-
ceeded the limit fer automobile ac-
cessories, and had better quit shoot
ing for the day.
This was a gesture typical of bird
hunters. I know of no sport that
boasts so little craftsmanship. Hun
terS will invite you as a guest and,
before arriving on the scene Of
action. ply you with graciousnesS.
They'll lend you a good gun, fill
your coats full of shells. give you
a pull at their bottle, and a sand
wich from their lunch. But-just
let a bird rise from the ground and
they'll shoot his ears off even before
you can get your gun cooked.
They'll never give you a chance at
anything but sparrows on a limb.
Duck hunters are that way, too.
Get in blind with them and when
the ducks are sighted, they start
warning you to keep we'll hidden
and-above all-don't let the ducks
get a glimpse of your gun. No
sooner Go you get huddled out of
sight, with your gun under your
coat, than the ducks arrive and they
stand up and shoot EN- down.
That leaves nothing but the
wooden decoys for you and if you've
ever tried to eat decoy, even with
crisp bacon, you know they are
small satisfaction.
