Siondl, but most of them hare
studied sculpture, painting and
ceramics, or tDritten books and
toStered musical centerS for
their DUN pleasure and that OF
their families and friends.
Personality stories on these
Domen and their tDork t0ill be
printed in a series By The Wash
ington Times.
Celebrating the Golden Jubilee
of the Christ Child Society, Miss
Mary V. Merrick, founder and
president of the organization, will
be guest of honor at tea at the
society headquarters, 608 MaSsa-
chusetts Ave. N. E., tomorrow af'
ternoon.
The organization was begun in
1887, when Miss Merrick gathered
a group of friends to make a lay
cite for a destitute mother. The
society now is nation wide, with
branches in 80 different cities.
Confined to a wheel chair by a
spinal injury. Miss Merrick has
worked for the last half century
for the welfare of underprivileged
children.
How Group Grew
The work of providing layettes
for newborn babies has been eX-
tended to a more general group
of child welfare activities, and the
society provides gifts each Christ
mas for poor children.
Need of a fresh-air resort for
undernouriShed children led to the
establishment of a convalescent
home, where children who have
just been discharged from hos
pitfalls or children who have been
i'll at home can be sent to recu-
perate.
Recent completion of the settle
ment at the Massachusetts, Ave
nue. address is considered one of
the outstanding achievements of
the society. Glasses are conducted
in dancing, dramatics, sewing, arts
and needle crafts. The Merrick
Boys Club has won numerous
athletics trophies in contests with
other clubs of the city.
COlOred Auxiliary
Trained workers organize the
activities of the society, and last
year reached between 5000 and
4 900 individual children.
The colored auxiliary of the
Christ Child Society operates a
fresh air farm at Bel Alton.

who worked on the job. The work
on the projects was to give en-
ployment to the unemployed, and
their finished state is to take care
of some of the low.income fami-
lies.
However, instead Of having at
least one of these Utopias in every
county, the present indication is
that Greenbelt and the others at
Milwaukee and Cincinnati are all
the Government will undertake.

.UGWELLT0WN
HEADACHE TO
WHITE HOUSE
Relief Labor Boosts
Cost of Each Home
ToS12,OOO
BY EARL GOODWIN

"Greenbelt," the Tugwell-town
in Prince Georges county, instead
of being looked on as the fore
runner of cooperative living ex-
perimentS in every county of the
U. S. A., is now frankly looked on
as one of the three housing head
aches of the Administration. Word
has gone forth that no more land
shall be purchased for such ideal
istic experiments.
Congress now learns that each
Greenbelt home stands the Gov
eminent in about $4,000. The
Government intends to sell these
homes to small income families,
but to do so the Government must
actually knock off $500 from the
cost figure of $4,000 because it
is presumed that no family in
the $1,000 to $4,000 group could
afford to buy $4,000 home
amortiZed over a 40-year period.
So the Government, through the
ReSettlement Administration, in.
tends to drop $500 off the cost,
as if it had never been spent
and call it square.
Land Buying Hats
The other two housing head
aches are similar projects near
Milwaukee and Cincinnati. The
Government is going to buy no
more land for villages to which
will be transplanted segments of
the population.
So far the land has cost about
$4,000 for each forty acres and
relief labor has been expensive;
it is figured Greenbelt'- re! f labor
has cost a third more than skilled
contract labor. However, these
projects did absorb some of the
unemployed labor; but Congress is
apparently now in a mood to count
costs on a strictly business basis.
So also are the officials remaining
in the Relief Administration.
Charged to Relief
In many instances the Govern
ment will have to charge off at
least half it's investment against
the relief of unemployment and
will have to grant subsidies to
those families who move into
Greenbelt or the other similar
communities. These matters are
all recorded in the published hear
ings on the agricultural appro-
priations bill recently placed on
the House calendar.
DR.. w. w. Alexander himself,
successor to DR.. Rex TugWell as
administrator, told the committee
that the Government will have to
charge off $500 apiece on these
homes. Greenbelt, in which the
Government has sunk $4,000, 900,
was launched as a Utopia-in-the-
Fields for worthy folks of the
81, 200-$2,000 a year class.
Planned Community
It was to be a planned COM
munity, somewhat self supporting
as to tradeSmen and shopkeepers.
It was to have just enough bar
bers, for instance: just enough
plumbers, shoemakers, etc. An
ideal thing, from the planners
standpoint-but impossible from
the accountants Standpoint-be-
cause it was planned that these
fine little homes with the gardens
all around them would be paid
for at low rent-but actually
paid for in 40 years.
The way the relief labor made
the costs mount added so much
to the cost that it would be nearer
a full century before the rooftree
would be freed from the Govern
ment's mortgage
The people who actually receive
this $500 the Government is
going to charge off, according to
C. B. Baldwin, assistant r. A. adj
ministrator, are the relief workers
