This complete circuit around the ma

Roosevelt described as a welcome
respite in her lecture tours so she

attentive readers. During our last
visit with her during her days of
consciousness she said, Don't tell in

Plans Changes

lar section except better and more

est people.
eve further propose to include
in the lease requirement that the
worker in each family occupying
one of the new homes shall be re-
auired to continue to work at the
same trade that he has followed
during the past year while he lives
in the house so leased. That means
that a man who has been a farm
worker will be required to continue
to work on the farms if he wants
to continue to live in the house so
leased. but it does not mean that
either his employment or his rate
of pay are fixed by the pressure
of his lease or his need for home
for his wife and children. The JUS
tification for such a requirement is
that the only industry in northern
and central Montgomery County is
farming or merchandising to farm
ers and we are only trying to pro-
vide better homes for the poorest
paid workers of that section. So
it seems reasonable to expect that
these workers should continue to
work at their present type of en-
ployment and the only change that
we are trying to bring about is to
improve the homes in which they
live.
"There was no question or mis-
understanding at the meeting that
the total cost of the construction
of these houses would be paid by
the United States Treasury and
that neither original costs nor OPP
Grating costs would fall on Mont
gomery County as long as defin-
lite contract with the United States
Treasury was good.
consequently, Monday after
noon, the members of the Mont
gomery County Housing Author
ity met and with the unanimous
vote of the four members present,
DIR. J. w. Bird, Mrs. Raymond
Clapper, 10 v. Morgan and E.
Brooke Lee, authorized the fol-
lowing definite statement of
changes in the program Of the
Housing Authority. Mr.. Thomas
C. Darby, the fifth member Of the
Montgomery County Housing Au-
thority, expressed approval of the
suggested changes by telephone:
"Statement Authorized by the

"'After extended discussions
with the directors Of the Farm
Bureau, with groups of citizens
