Decent Living Right Of
All, Catholics Told

RICHMOND. Va. Oct. 10.
Works Progress Administrator
Harry Hopkins told the National
Conference Of Catholic Charities
last night that economic decency
in living Is the right, and not .
matter Of favors, Of every Amert'
can.
The American people have de-
cided that there will be no more
great masses Of people in poverty
In this country, he declared.
On the same program Senator
o'Mahoney, Of Wyoming, declared
"the task Of America is to find
the means by which the industrial
system can maintain economic
security and by which the In.
dividual can maintain his individ-
ual security and freedom" -
THE American people have de-
cided, not by election but by pub
Lie opinion, that the Government
has a responsibility for the vel.
fare of the people, for affording
every person in America an op.
portunity to earn q minimum
share Of the national income"
said Hopkins. ~ -.
He said it Is as much the task
of the Government to help busi-
ness, big and little, to make q
profit, as 1t is to provide old-ago
pensions.
Hopkins said America Should
not come crawling to the Govern
ment" for security, old-age benO-
fits and "their rights to q share
in national income"
At its closing sessions, the
Conference elected its first woman
president, Miss Mary L. Gibbons, Of
New York, ..

MORE JOBS
Relief Situation Is
Better, r. d. r. Told

QN.S) An encouraging pic
ture Of the relief situation was
presented to President Roosevelt
today by Deputy WPA Admins
traitor Aubrey Williams.
Employment is increasing
everywhere and things look
brighter today than at any time
in the past year." Williams said.
"I look for a steady employment
upturn in all lines Of activity"
Although there are $4,000
persons on relief rolls, Williams
called attention to the fact that
out Of 10000 men who Het WPA
projects in September, 10000 got
jobs in private industry.
WPA still has $760, 100000 lef'
of the 81, ASS 100000 with which j
! started the fiscal year.

WPA SPEEDS UP
PLANS TO TEACH.
CRIPPLED PUPILS.
Red Tape Ordered Cut
On D. C. Project

Working under orders for full
speed ahead, WPA experts today
were drafting plans to PROVIDE
crippled children of the District
with educational facilities in their
homes and at the new orthopedlc
clinic at Gallinger Hospital.
Deputy Works Administrator
Ross Haworth who was requested
to establish a crippled children's
project by the Board of Educa-
ton and the Health Department
yesterday instructed his aides to
cut all possible red tape in drafting
the plans.
WANTS TEACHING STAFF
Haworth is hopeful he can OBJ
tain permission from Federal
WPA officials to establish a corps
of teachers to visit the homes OF
physically handicapped young
Sters now denied an education.
Supplementing this project would
be a WPA school at Galllnger
Hospital where youngsters facing
months of confinement could keep
UP with their studies.
Washington's neglect OF its
crippled youngsters is Shamefully
reflected in the model system
established in Baltimore for the
treatment and education OF
crippled children.
Baltimore has two modern
schools with beds for more than
200 crippled youngsters. In ad-
dition the Baltimore Department
of Education operates two schools
for handicapped children not in
need of disqualification. These
schools have an enrolment OF GOT.
Hospital care, clinical treatment
and education are denied no Grip
pied child there.
DENIED EDUCATION
In contrast Washington has no
hospital school. In its two schools
for crippled children only II
youngsters are enrolled.
Other students desperately In
need of the facilities at these
schools are compelled to remain at
home, untreated and uneducated'
because the District can not trans
port them to classes.
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, presl-
dent Of the Board Of Education,
points out that for three years the
school officials have been plead
ing with Congress for funds to
care for crippled children more
adequately. The request will be
renewed when Congress meets
again. Until then Mrs. Doyle is
hoping that the District WPA can
find a way to extend a helping
hand to the city's crippled young
SterS.

Earl FLOYD, son of Eric Floyd of Kit
troll. Route 2. Which reminds me of
one day lately when Eric asked how
I was feeling, to which l replied that
l was just as happy as if l were in
NV right mind. Then he said, Il
don't know how 1 would ever see you
in your right mind unless you were
dead"
At the Dispatch office Mr.. Finch
said, Good morning, T. Noses" and
a young gentleman there said, well,
I'm glad have at last seen T. Moses.
Now everyone seems to be expecting
me to be a man with two heads, three
arms, four legs, five big-toes or six
thumbs. l am very squint-eyed be-
cause l need specks: l comb my hair
with my left hand because l have my
brush in my right hand; my Sunday
trousers are blue; / have two buttons
on my coat and six on each of my
shirts, size fourteen and a half, ex-
cept when the wash woman breaks
some of them with the iron.
1 wear shoes from size eight and
a half to ten and half and size eleven
1 had my first tan slippers about
twenty-five years ago The only time
/ was ever on the operating table was
to have a toe-nail removed; my hair
is gray enough for me to be an easy
sixty although 1 am much younger.
MY Mother and Father are both
living as are Mrs. Jones parents. I
have one sister and four brothers; ten
sisters-in-law, and two brOthers-in-
law; a wife and three sons. My fav-
orite colors are watermelon-pink and
all shades of lavender and purple. 1

trous, though I am Somnambulist;
so we go to my wife'S church one Sun
day and to mine the next.
I have heard Billy Sunday. both
the Hamm evanenlists, j. Wilbur

Luther B. Bridgers, who was once
holding a meeting away from home,
at which time his wife and two lit
tie sons were burned Afterwards
he wrote that beautiful song, He
Keeps Me Singing, which starts with,
There's within my heart a melody"
I have brother named for the late
Bishop Kilbo, two named for William

fivc-year period of 1882 in three out
of the immediate past five years, ac-
cording to DR.. G.. K Middleton. ag-

The 1882 average of corn acre
age in these states was 28,8O7 900
acres. The 1933-37 average was 30

mockery.
But religion is the key to all tho
rest. If a soul lacks sincerity, nothing
can be done, for security is the an
Choir to which other valuable qualities
are to be secured. But the sincere
soul animated by the religion of the
Lord Jesus Christ will make home
