WAGES OF THREE WPA WORK
ERS HELP RELIGION
Carried Over from Last Week.

In southwestern Morgan county,
| where agriculture merges with the
Hooking valley coal fields, the wages
of three WPA workers indirectly
help religion to keep alive and vigor-
| Gus. The three workers, all quail
| fed preachers in their particular de-
| nominations, dig into the stubborn
| clay and rock on one unit OF the
| Morgan county WPA road blanket
project from four to six days each
| week, but almost every Sunday finds
| each in a pulpit of a small rural
| church or mission, and many nights
are spent at the bedsides of SICK
people among their flocks. They are
now working on county road 53,
west of Chesterhill Preaching, at
least in their humble field, doesn't
pay living, the trio told interview
| ers conducting the recent WPA re-
view of cases. Their parishiOners,
| they say, are either small farmers
who raise forage crops, fine Merino
sheep and orchard fruit on the beau
| tiful hills of Morgan county, or who
work part time in struggling mines
of northern Athens county. II just
remembered that / forgot to report
dollar I received in the collection
| taken at one of my churches two
weeks ago." Rev. Asbury f. Pinnell,
of Chesterhill, remarked when asked
about the interview. Zone month |
remember getting SIG, but that set
record" Mr.. Pinnell, aged 81, is
pastor of the Mountville M. E. cir
cult, with small churches at Liberty
Hill, Ringgold and Wrightstown. He
entered the ministry in 1922, and
has had prosperous charges in rural
West Virginia, also preaching in
| Washington county before coming to
Morgan county last fall. He alter
mates preaching each Sunday in his
three pulpits His WPA wages pro-
vide for family consisting of his
wife and four children at home.
There are four other children away
from home AS for his church in
come, he said: ''That's mostly gaso-
line money going to and from SER
vices"
Working right next to Mr.. Pin
nell is Dale Isaac Smith, aged 38,
| former farm hand, and GAINESVILLE
| steel mill employee, who has a wife
and eight children to support. Mr..
| Smith said he "heard the call and
was converted" four years ago, and
since then has studied the gospels
and received formal ordination
from the Church of God, which has
headquarters at Anderson, Ind. II
/ just preach once in a while when
there's nobody else to do It," Mr..
Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1939-03-23

Smith said bashfully. He lives on a
, rural route out Of Glouster
Third of the preachers is another
Smith-Harvey, aged 50, no kin to
| Dale Smith. He and his wife and
five of their children live on a rural
route out of Trimble. Harvey Smith
las been preaching, mostly as a
sideline, for % years in the Holi-
ness church He preached while
working as a miner, and when there
was no mining work to do he con-
tinued as a WPA worker His charg-
es are small church at No. 10 mine
near GIouster and mission at
Lathrop. ''I'm lucky if / make ex-
penses when conduct q service" he
said, ''generally the collection brings
i'll dollar or so, or just about
enough to pay for the gasoline. l
usually preach somewhere every Sat-
urday night, and on Sundays l al
ternate at the two churches. Then
there are revival services, and pray
ing for sick folks, and calls upon
my flock"
All assert the reason they preach
with little or no financial recon-
pense is that they believe this to be
their mission in life. With one
voice they agreed that the road
building work is real work and
worthwhile, and just as emphatical-
ly all wished they could find some
ether way of earning living.
"I've worked in mines and along
railroads, and I never worked hard
er than right here Mr. Pinnell
said" L have to smile sometimes
when I think that I'm helping to re-
build rural roads so some folks can
get to church to hear me preach
That's a new version of the sawdust
trail
"For me, when the mine shut
down, there wasn't any choice--I
had to go on WPA," Harvey Smith
declared.

V1II-THE PLASTERER.

"How long have you been in the
plastering trade?" I asked Isaac
Edmunds.
Eighteen years" he replied.
How long did 1t take you to learn
IT."
Il never do learn it! There's
always something new that blows
up"
So here we are watching the plas-
tering Of a new house. The carpen-
ter has set up the framework, and
the walls of the rooms have their
shape. The electric wires have been
put in. also the stacks for heating
and the plumbers pipes. The fast
working fathers have come and
gone, and we no longer can see the
things which other workers have
placed inside the walls.
Men have been mixing the lime
ana sand outdoors. two parts Of
sand and one part of lime. This is
to make mortar for the first rough
coat of plaster.
A hodcarrier fills up a hod, a
wooden tray with a handle which
+: he can rest on his shoulder. The
! mortar is heavy; each load of 1t
weighs about $50 pounds.

and climbs ladder to the second

wooden laths. Yet on 1t does stay,

Perhaps the plaster men feel they
should have as much honor for
speed as the fathers we spoke about
yesterday. At any rate, they put
the first coat of plaster on room

feet high, in just a bit over an hour.
When it comes time for the final
coat. with smooth finish, 1t takes
longer-two hours for two men
working in the same room. This
coat must not be put on until the
other plaster is very dry.

said Mr.. Edmunds. when the other
coat is green. We must wait in
order to have a good Job.
For the final coat, we mix one
pail of water with six pals of lime
and a pail and a half of gaging
plaster. There's no sand in mortar
made for final coat with smooth
finish"

short for the man with this big
load. The hodcarrier seems to get
along very well-what's $50 pounds
in his life?
Upstairs two men are waiting for
him. They set to work as soon as
the mortar comes, and spread it on

The play of the cards at contract
Involves great many guesses.
While the expert usually has some
shrewd reasoning to minimize his
guesswork he cannot be infallible
For example, West, who is one of
our leading experts, decided on a
spade opening against the slam
contract. Now. leading from the
king against a slam contract is very
often effective. for if partner holds
the queen a trick is Immediately
established before declarer can set
up the side suit which is usually
available. However, this time the
spade lead should have proved IA

wrong guess. After winning the
first trick he led a trump to dummy's
ace. Next a small trump was led
from dummy, and after considerable
thought declarer went up with the
play, and now since the heart king
was adversely placed declarer was
forced to go down trick.
This hand serves to demonstrate
the falliblity of all bridge players
If West had made any lead but

PASSING THE HAT

In hundreds of cities and towns,
community chest and fund move
ments are being conducted. In
some places social agencies unite
end make one general canvass for
the needs of all these organizations.
In some, individual societies carry
en- their own canvasses. Whichever
Elan is adopted. the people should aid
these agencies generously in their
roble work.
The United States has been the
most generous country in the world.
1t has carried on great societies to
help young people adjust themselves
to the world. II has opened wonder
full hospitals for the suffering. 1t
has held out the hand of charity to
the victims of misfortune.
The good Samaritan of Bible
times picked up the wounded man
and had his wounds cared for. So
our people have lifted up those suf-
fering from the wounds of life.
Money spent that way brings great
er rewards than that spent for per-
sonal pleasure.
Milford chronicle., 1939-02-10
IDLE MONEY

There is said to be a huge guam
tity of idle money in the country.
How can this idle money be induced
to go to work and employ labor?
In former years it has not been
customary to hear great deal about
idle money. There was more apt to
be shortage of capital. There have
been periods when it was difficult to
find the money needed for productive
enterprises. At times people have
Lad to pay high rates of interest. if
they wanted to go into business.
create new producing plants, or en-
gage in various enterprises.
Now money is to be had at very
low rates of interest. If there is
lack of business, it is not due to
any lack of capital.
When capital lies idle. the reason
is either that people do not see a
good chance to make money with it.
or that they fear to lose their money
if they invest it. The desire to earn
q profit is the thing that makes
money go to work. If the chances
of loss are considered large. the peo-
pie would rather hold onto their
money. and they accept very low
rates of interest, or in some cases
no interest at all, rather than take
chance on their principal.
Some people do not approve of
what they call the profit motive, but
that is the motive that induces peo-
pie to save money and invest it in
business and employ labor. If the
profit motive is condemned. a blow
Is struck at the whole fabric of
business.
When business is making good
money. it pays good wages. Good
wages and good profits go together.
If profits are low or doubtful. many
workers lose their jobs. The way
% make business good and jobs plen-
-iful is to encourage business to feel
hat it can make fair profit, with
tut running any great risk of losing
is capital
