SHOCKED AND DISAPPOINED

both shocked and disappointed
me. An American who was an

on his State farm they had ter

SKINNED milk was not to be
had so they had been forced to
feed them on fish meal and blood
meal, which had killed off many
of the stock. AS the SoWS had
been given no roots such as beetS
or potatoes during farrowing
time the piglets had not been
any good, and the sows had had
literally no milk for them. The
catalepsy had soon broken up
the whole undertaking.
I told him of the dreadful con-
ditions on our poultry farm, and
he said it was exactly the some
on a big poultry farm near where
he was.
In spite Of this sad state of af-
fairs the American seemed pretty
cheerful, and said he was only
waiting about for his contract to
come to its end. so that he would
be free again. When I asked him
whether he was a married man he
said he was getting on so well
with the Russian women that he
saw no reason for marrying.

Housing Project
Leaves Families
Without Home e,
(By VIM. Patrick, Jr.)

While the slum project is in It's
infant stages Of development it Is
interesting to note some of the i'm
pending conditions which prevail,
for to accomplish one thing is to
complicate another.
The plight of these poor and un-
fortunate people, who are forced
from their homes as the buildings
are wrecked, is more serious and
pathetic than many seem to realize.
Better neighborhoods do not
wish to have these destitute ones
in their midst, for they fear that
with them they will bring filth and
bad habits. Miss Martha Gentry
of the Relocating Committee
thinks this attitude to be totally
unfair.
In an interview, Miss Gentry told
this correspondent that by moving
into more desirable homes these
people would acquire the good
habits of the occupants of the
communities.
