Virginia Grains Escape
Serious Rust DAMAGE
BY the Associated Press.


BLACKSBURG, Va, June 10
Virginia's grain crops escaped seri-
GUS damage from black stem rust
this year. thanks to dry weather
and an extended campaign to eradi-
cate the disease, a Government plant
pathologist said here today.
Extremely dry weather in May
held the rust in check, he said, until
grain was far enough advanced not
to be endangered, except for few
late fields.
G. E. Matheny, associate pathol-
ogist of the United States Bureau
of Antomology and Plant Quaran-
tine said that in counties where
barberry bushes had been eradicated
no rust had been found, but from a
trace to fairly heavy infection had
been noted in some fields near bar
berry plants.
Workers direced by Matheny, in
campaign in which State and
Federal agricultural agencies CO.
operated, have destroyed over l0O,-
100000 common or native barberry
bushes in Southwest Virginia during
the last five years.

Branding Case

BALTIMORE, (CNA)-Investi-
cation of the branding of Melvin
Bridge, 14-year-old Jewish high
school student here recently, was
closed this week with a report by
the School Board disclaiming the
widespread belief that organic
ing activity, either within the
school or outside" was responsible
for the anti-semetic outrage
The board overrode popular de-
mands for a thorough investiga-
ton into the activities of the
Youth Bund in this city, which
according to evidence disclosed by
the Maryland Youth Congress
Committee, is definitely tied up
with the Nazi Bund.

The United Grand Chapter Or
der of Eastern Star of Washing
ton and Jurisdiction, convened in
its twenty-sixth Annual communi-
cation at the Masonic Hall in Seat
tie Monday Morning July 10th,
for three day session.
A large number of representa-
tives and members of the Order of
Eastern Star from the various
chapters were in attendance. The
u. CIR Chapter opened with much
enthusiasm with the W. CIR. Mat
ron, sister Bertha L. Waggener.
and w. CIR. Patron, Brother Ar
thur L. Hayes presiding.
Unedr the leadership of our Past
CIR. Matron, sister Bertha L. Wag-
gener, our jurisdiction has grown
in membership and is in splendid
condition financially.
Tuesday afternoon dedication
of altar cloths and drill were pre-
sented by twenty sisters of the
o. E. s. which was beautifully de-
monstrated under the guidance of
sister Anna e. Bagley.
The work of the CIR. Lecturer,
sister Dolly Paries, was very pro-
fitable, the work being exempli-
fled in a manner which showed
much ability.
Every Tuesday night for the
past five years has been given
over to the art department, and to
our youth. Mrs. Ophellia Hall pre-
sented the children in the program
for the evening. Much credit is
due Mrs. Hall; the work she is do
ing with the younger set is COM

mittee made her report and pre-
scented the first prize to Mrs Wal
ter johnson Jr., the second prize
to the Enterprise Chapter, Port
land, Oregon, and the third prize
to Golden Gate Chapter, Everett,
Washington. Mrs. Agnes Stokes
was the chairman of the Art De-
partment.
Much has been said of the lea
ders of our community and here
we feel that our Past w. CIR. Mat
ron is due acknowledgement. She
has successfully guided the U. CIR.

crisis the country has ever ex-
perienced, and we succeeded with
banners flying.

One-Third july
Quota Released

Approximately $4,000 project
workers in Washington, compris-
ing all those who have been en-
ployed continuously on WPA for
1S months or longer, will be releas-
ed from employment by August
81, and cannot be reempioyed for
at least thirty days, it was an
nounced late yesterday by Don G.
Abel, state Work Projects Admin
istrator.
Abel said the huge reduction,
which is more than one third of
the 10000 July employment quota,
is mandatory under provisions of
the new 1899 emergency Relief
Appropriation Act, recently pass
ed by Congress to govern WPA
for twelve months from July 1. All
individuals released under this pro-
vision of the new Act will have
their certification of eligibility on
WPA cancelled, said Abel, and
need for unemployment after the
30 days absence must be estab-
lished through local county welfare
agencies before such persons will
become eligible for WPA employ
ment.
"Under the new Act, individuals,
even when found in need, will not
be eligible for reassignment on
WPA until after the 80 days lay
off period is ended" said the State
WPA Administrator. "All assign
ments will then be made on the
basis of relative need under en-
ployment quota limitations set
each month according to funds a
valuable"
Abel said that wherever equal
need for WPA employment was
established as between two GER
titled applicants, that war vet
eran would be given preference
over non-veteran, but that those
with the greatest need for employ
ment must be assigned first. He
also said that WPA workers who
have been off the WPA payroll for
any period of two weeks or more,
during the past 10 months, are
not affected by the layoff. Contin-
uity of WPA employment for such
persons is reckoned from the date
they returned to work.
Notices will be placed in the
mail beginning next week to all
the affected project workers on
this major layoff.

Miss Marion Martin
Revives COP.

SEATTLE, July 17-Washing-
ton citizens losing faith in the New
Deal and convinced that 1t is ir-
removably attached to the Demo
cratic Party, found new hope this
week in the words of Miss Marion
e. Martin, assistant to Republi-
can National Chairman, John D.
Hamilton, as she toured the state
in the interests of G. o. P. vic
tory in 1910.
In an address here, Miss Mar
tins audience overlooked the hall,
applauded loudly when she called
attention to the nations growing
realization that the New Deal can
not pay its fare save by greater
taxation or initiation, that the
Democrats have no leader capable
of extricating the country from its
plight, and added:
1--WE Republicans have so many
qualified for president that it
won't make a bit of difference
which one of five or six we nom-
mate"
Nov look at the other party"
she invited. who have they got ?"
First, last and foremost" Miss
Martin declared, 1.-THE Republican
party is for taking relief out of
politics. Never has the Republic
can party let anyone starve. Me
Their do we make them sell their
votes for food.
1--WE are against the New Deal
spending policy that means de-
struction of the American form OF
government. The widest spending
spree ever known to any nation
in the history of the world can be
stopped only when a Republican
gets into office.
1--WE believe when one man at
tempts to do all the thinking and
all the spending of all the other
peoples money he is doing the
country no good. He can't re-
distribute wealth, but only redis-
tribute poverty.
1--WE believe American workers
are dissatisfied. Ask the man
whether he'd rather have a WPA
job or a job in private industry.
The Republican party is here to
reestablish American industry and
American jobs, to reestablish the
American form of government for
the American people"
