new WORK RELIEF
PLAN Is STARTED

Philadelphia, Pa. (AFLWNS). -
Over $4,000 men and women in Phil
adelphia County were shifted from
state dole to state work-relief lists
on August / under the terms of the
so-called work-or-no-dole" act passed
by the recent session of the Penn
sylvania Legislature.
The Philadelphia County Board of
Assistance notified 110 city, county
and state governmental units and in
stitutions, supported entirely or in
part by taxes, that they could requi-
sition free labor from this work list.
The out-of works will be paid pre-
vailing rates of pay for the type of
work to which they are assigned, the
rates to be established by the County
Board Of Assistance. Officials said
that employable persons on the dole
had been classified and that each one
would be assigned to the kind of work
he was best equipped to perform.

But, why?-
What of it, and who cares p
Suppose they can't pay the costs of
good housing
Why then should they have their
old tenements taken away?
Let them stay in their Alley Dwell
ings-
They must like them, or they
wouldn't stay there
Not so fast, my fine feathered
friend
These are the people who do the
necessary work of the town
There are disagreeable things still
to be done
So we must have people who are
not too squeamish to do them
There are streets to be swept, and
sewers to be cleaned
So these jobs are saved for the
people of low incomes
Forsooth, do you think anybody
would do these things
If they We're receiving high in
comes
High enough to make out an in
come tax report p
What a naivete
On the other hand
Or, perhaps it is on the same hand
Ii the places in which these people
live
Are such as to facilitate the breed
ing of disease
That neutralizes the cleaning of the
sewers
And if these peoples children. hav-
ing no decent Fairgrounds
Spend their time lodging the cops,
and snatching from store counters
That becomes expensive, and men
ace to property

Truths Pondered While
Riding at
Anchor
Then gently scan
your brother man" -
BY Mr.. MOdestus-

Subsidy
"a government grant
"Of money to a private enterprise
Deemed advantageous to the gen
eral public
That is the meaning of subsidy,
subvention, tariff, etc
And it is as old as the history of
governments
They used to call the gift Of parlia-
ment to the king by that name
Now we get subsidies in housing
Quite frankly, they tell us
Families in the low income levels
Cannot afford to pay rentals to
cover the costs
Of modern houses, including the
decencies of civilization
Therefore, it is right and proper
That the whole community should
contribute
To the building and furnishing of
homes
For people of low incomes
At rentals within the means of
these low income receivers
And that is the meaning Of 4slum
eradication"

it's News Or Is It! Obscure Cobbler Gets Commercial "Plug" on First Lady's
 "Flat Feet"

Because Mrs. Franklin D. Roose- welt is Americas businest woman, James Fikany, cobbler of Carbon dale, Penn, surmised that she suf- fered from pes planus"-hat feet, to you. Today the charts with which he proved it to her were re- leased in Look magazine. An inter- view with the First Lady, arranged by Fikany's congressman, gave the cobbler the chance to provide Mrs. Roosevelt with a special shoe of his own invention, having an adjustable arch regulator.
 Fikany's unique shoes were well known and we'll thought of in Car bondale, but Mrs. Roosevelts en- thusiasm for the comfort his shoes gave her, have brought him na- tional attention. The magazine shows 8 picture of the special shoes built for her by Kikany and another chart of her foot showing the cor rected condition.

Rowland GroomedFor
 Mayoralty Nomination
Bane Mentioned for Controller Bronson for City Man ager, in Event of Change gePerriello to Be
 Pushed Into Background

It will be Controller Sherwood L. Rowland for mayor, Alderman Thomas F. Bane, the controllers as- sistant purchasing agent, for con- troller, if present plans for seeking the Republican nominations are successful.
 The campaign of 1889, has started. But it is fraught with possibility that the Citizens Good Government association and some of the groups favoring a change from party gov- ernment, may succeed in passing provision for a city manager char ter.
 F Rerefendum
 Presently, the Good Government group is seeking passage of bill by the General Assembly which will provide for referendum in Water bury, probably in April, when the voters will be asked to approve or disapprove the adoption of another charter, one calling for a city man. ager and city council. In the event of passage of such proposal, the vote next October would be for var ious minor officers, for council members of various affiliations who would chose the city manager.
 In this latterly connection, the name of Attorney Richardson Bron- son, of Bronson, Lewis, Bronson and Upson, has been most prominently mentioned. Apparently, some of the groups favoring the change of gov- ernment foresee success for the pro- posal and an outline of procedure of definite form has been drawn it was learned.
 But Controller Rowland and his coterie of employees, some of them representing small political groups have other plans. Whether these have been discussed with the Re- publican organization leaders, such as Republican Town Chairman J Warren Upson, has not been learned. But the probability is that Rowland sees himself as candidate without need for organization in the light of some of the recent de- velopments in local Republican af- fairs.
 Old Line Type
 These developments include q canvass by Republican women of

forts were made here several years ago to stimulate interest but due to intensive work in organizing a Boy Scout Troop, Corp. Coyle Post de- layed action on the new legion unit.
 Commander George F. Karnofsky has designated as special commit tee on organization William Dwyer as chairman, Chester Haude, Char les Melville and Charles Ellsworth. State, district and national officers will be invited to the formal induc- tion ceremonies.
 At the last regular meeting of the |poSt Detachment Commander Henry Noder of New Haven made special visit here to address members of the post on the growth of Sons of the Legion units in various parts of the country. Their organization has not only stimulated new interest among ex-servicemen's organizations, but has accomplished much n focusing favorable public attention on the activities, especially the Community service and Boys Work of the Le- zion.
 Representative groups of various state units will be invited to Wat erbury to give demonstrations of their work and exhibitions of drill work.
