statistical material, The United States News
has figured out where new deal expendl-

are going. All the pump-priming costs, re-

- alphabetical wonders considered, the middle
:. west has received $143 in benefits for an
outlay of $144 in taxes. Minnesota has far
ed better than several neighbor states, due
largely to the AAA program, receiving Sill
per capita while kicking-in a mere S1O6.
New England and other eastern states
haven't so much reason to shout for the new
deal, having paid $218 for benefits of $131
while in the mountain states democracy has
smiled to the extent of 1916 per $50 paid
in taxes. Pacific states received $175 and
paid STAT while the economic problem"
democratic south has paid $11S for benefits
of $120 per capita. Not that the expense
of recovery and relief is all paid for, by
long shot-the comparison is made on
basis of federal tax receipts and assumes
they will continue in present proportions.
Mississippi paid 50 per capita and re-
ceved $132, North Dakota contributed $11
to get 5000 and South Dakota SIP to get
back 1886 while several eastern states, not
ably Delaware, North Carolina and New
York are in somewhat opposite positions.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SUPERVIS-
ed swimming is best illustrated by the fact
that all recent drowning at Lake Redwood
beach have occurred at hours when no life
guard was on duty. The beach has been
well-supervised in other years but no more
conscientious guard ever was in charge than
Charles Joneson. Where others have sat on
the benches or watched from the bath house,
he is at the waters edge when anyone is
swimming Parents will be wise to acquaint
themselves with beach hours and confine the
swimming of their youngsters closely to
those hours
HISTORY MAY RECORD THIS AS
an era when people worried about over pro-
duction of food stuffs and manufactured
products and working less to receive more
when the real problems were over produc-
ton of ornaments, faulty distribution and
what people were doing with their leisure
time.
