Facing the greatest flood crisis
in history, President RooSevelt's
Flood Relief Committee, today or
dered tons of foodstuffs shipped
into the water-swept areas to feed
more than 100000 refugees.
Through the facilities of the
Federal Surplus Commodities Cor
poration, carloads of eggs, canned
meats, evaporated milk, grape
fruit, pruneS, potatoes, bread and
flour, were speeding to the flood
devastated valleys of the Ohio and
the endangered Mississippi.
Clothing, bedding, cotton for
comforters, and other materials
were being shipped by train and
truck into the flood zone in
Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, West Vir-
ginia, Kentucky and Missouri.
Send Big Shipments
The corporation has purchased
100000 dozen eggs. The canned
beef shipments were taken from
the 100000 pounds left over
from purchases made of drought
cattle during the 1884 drought.
Purchases of grapefruit, started
several weeks ago at the rate of
200 carloads week in Florida and
100 to $50 carloads in Texas, to
stabilize the market, are being
diverted to the flood areas to aid
in alleviating thirst of the refu-
gees: the prunes also were pur-
chased in California to stabilize
the market.
Shipments ordered today we're:
1NDIANA-24,000 dozen eggs;
10000 pounds of canned beef; 2
carloads eVaporated milk, 100 car
loads grapefruit.
OHIO-36,000 dozen eggs; 120,-
900 pounds canned beef; 3 car
loads evaporated milk.
ILLINOIS-24,000 dozen eggs;
27,000 pounds mot calculated in
carloads evaporated milk.
MISSOURI-48000 dozen eggs; |
38,400 pounds mot calculated in
carloads evaporated milk.

and railroad.
Arrangements were being made |
to ship several carloads of eggs, |
evaporated milk and canned
beef to Kentucky and to Memphis,

making ready refugee camps to
accommodate more than $4,000
persons when the crest of the
flood strikes the great Mississippi |

day.
Through cooperation of the cor
poration and WPA, thousands of
garments and comforters made on
WPA sewing projects; bales of cot
ton for use in comforters, and
thousands of yards of ticking for
making mattresses and comforters,
are being shipped. For instance,
$4,000 pounds of cotton and $4,000
garments were sent into the Ohio
flood area, and 10000 yards of
ticking to Illinois.

$47.50 to $87 for houses varying ii

No Traffic Peril

There is enough room in the As.
acre tract bought for the village
to build another 100 units without
destroying its essentially suburban
character. A year ago the Founda-
tion dedicated 81 acres of hillside
woodland as a permanent area for
recreation and nature study for
the community of 1877 families.
There is village club, mush-ball
field, tennis, volley ball and out
door basketball courts, a summer
time nursery play school under
professional supervision, picnic
grounds and outdoor ovens for
the village tenants.
There are hundreds Of great
oaks and elmS in the wooded tract
in which Chatham Village is built
and thousands of blooming trees
and shrubs. Lawns, hedges and
flower beds are looked after by
the management.
There are no telephone or light
poles in the village, all wiring be-
ing underground. The garden
character of the community has
been preserved throughout, with
no back yards in evidence. Even
the garbage cans are below ground.
Interior courts and lawn areas,
shut away from all traffic, provide
a safe spot for children.
All of this is in the heart of
Pittsburgh, not more than ten min
utes from its busiest downtown
street corner. And the project
pays S per cent on the investment!

CHEST Committee
MAPS FUND DIVISION
Group Of 81 to Make Up Budget
for IS Welfare Agencies
This Week.

The difficult task of determining
how donations to be collected by the
Community Chest during the coming
year are to be distributed among IS
participating welfare agencies will be
started by the Budget Committee
this week.
The Budget Committee, 81 of the
hardest working Chest volunteers, will
make up the budget after series of
four-hour conferences to be held
five days week. This job, largely q
thankless one-since there is never
enough money to meet all needs-is
vital phase of the Chests annual
campaign.
Each member of the committee visits
at regular intervals throughout the
year from to 10 agencies, so that he
can report on their needs from first
hand information In addition. the
executive Of each agency submits COM
plete records of the previous years
expenses and plans for the use of
which future funds will be put. The
committee as whole then examines
each proposed individual budget to
make sure the Chest-and its thou
sands Of contributors-will get the
most out OF the money. Thus the
volunteer Budget Committee protects
contributors by assuring them that
their donations will be used to meet
actual needs.

mittee for this tenth anniversary CAM

NIGHT TEACHER
PLAN POSTPONED
Education Board Orders
Further Study of Night
School Proposal.

Inauguration of new night school
teacher selection plan in the District
school system was postponed for at
least year by action of the Board of
Education yesterday at a brief, but
stormy special session.
The board, acting on a motion by
Col. West Hamilton, voted to defer
operation of the new plan, ordered the
administrative officers and its Per-
sonnel Committee to make a complete
new study of the plan and decided to
continue appointment of night school
teachers as heretofore.
The special board session followed
two-and -one -half-hour meeting of
the Personnel Committee at which
protests against the new selection
plan were voiced by number of teach
ers, employed in night school positions
last year, who said they would not
have sufficient time to qualify under
the new requirements and therefore
would not be eligible for appointment
this year.
Urges Modification.
Opening the special meeting, Robert
A. Maurer, reporting for the Personnel
Committee, urged the board to approve
certain notifications of the new selec-
tion plan which were suggested by
Superintendent of Schools Frank w.
Ballou. The plan, Maurer said, would
give preference to night school teach
ers employed in the District last year
after those on the eligibility list have
been appointed
Henry I. Quinn, another board
member, Immediately offered a sub
stitute motion asking that the board
decide its new proposals do not apply
to night school teachers employed
last year and that preference in
appointments for this year be given
to instructors who served in the night
schools last year who still have salts
factory ratings.
Here we have situation," Quinn
said, where teachers with years of
experience, who have proved their
ability, are suddenly confronted with
new eligibility rules. I don't believe
1t WAS the intention of the board, in
adopting the new plan last June, to
make it retroactive to include teachers
employed in night schools last year.
It would be an injustice"
Ballou Sees Injustice.
DR.. Ballou retorted that if the board
legislated these teachers into Office,
and then filed the remaining posi-
tions from the eligibility list which
would be set up under the new plan,
it would bring decentralization and
chaos"

Carl looked stoically at the clerk.
We'll, then" he said, "give me a
room. I've got $4, but I don't want to
spend it all at once"
For $3.50 a day Clifford got his
room. He Is a small, tow-headed,
bent-shouldered boy, but he looks
wise and serious and older than his
IA years. And he glanced down at
the cuffs of his blue corduroy breeches
and felt he was man.
There wasn't a lot I could do"
Clifford told H. Mills Eroh, who heads
the Volunteers of America here. Il
