Praised as Agency
To 'Debunk' Isms
Mrs. coIIinewood Gives
Talk at Meeting Of
PIT. A. Institute

The Petworth Branch of the Pub
lie Library was praised yesterday
at the Sd annual Parent Teacher
institute as an excellent agency for
"debunking isms" of propaganda
and upholding democracy among
the big school population in that
area. -....
Praise for the library and its
staff came from Mrs. G. H. ColMng-
wood, representing the Petworth
Parent Teacher Association, as she
told the institute at George WASH
ington University how a community
movement of about 80 groups had
succeeded in getting the branch
library.
Previously it had been necessary
for the children in that area to go
either to the Mount Pleasant or Ia
koma Park Branch Libraries, she
said. There was big library de-
mand, she said, from the school
population of about 1000 children
IN the Petworth School, Macfarland
Junior High School, Roosevelt High
School, Allison Health School and
Dennison Vocational School.
Mrs. Seal Speaks.
Praising the democratic use" to
which the library had been put in
an area where she said the foreign
born population was large, Mrs. Col
lingwood said that with modern
propaganda what 1t was, ''our very
excellent library staff gives us an
excellent opportunity to debunk
1sms that come about and realize
that democracy is the stronghold
Of individuality"
Mrs. Edward R. Seal, from Powell
Junior High School association,
after tracing the success her Or
ganization had in obtaining a recre-
alton area on the north side of
Lamont street at Sixteenth street,
predicted that it was likely that the
remainder of the north side OF
Lamont street from the present area
to Hiatt place also might be added
later on. She traced the campaign
conducted since 1894 in the interest
OF the recreation area and declared
the success which attended its ef-
forts shows what concerted effort
can do."
Mrs. Walter Clyde Jones Of
Wheatey PIT. A. reported on the
project at that school, where a
dump was converted into a flower
and vegetable garden.
Mrs. George Hopkins Of Janney
School association explained how
that organization had obtained a

building, operated by the mothers.

Sales, Stamps, And SurpIu.e.

Not until the summer waning will it be possible to tell
whether the Department OF Agriculture mas got something
IN its stamps for SURPRISES program
But the first days operation in Rochester N " are
interesting indeed, and contain the germ OF hope
The plan is briefly, this: Relief clients sold by the
federal certain stamps which good Tor 1000
It local grocery For 81 the client gets blue III
stamp god for buying food But he gets also an orange
stamp good buying food But he gets also an orange
Of which there surplus. The grocer having sold the
food and taken the stamps redeems them Tor regular money
Thus the federal is in effect adding 30 per
e to the relief check provided the extra amount is spent
for certain things.
Now there would be little point in this there were no
more to It. The recent plan buying surplus commodities
and distributing them free to refers would amount to the
same thing.
Here ia the difference and early experience in Rochester
indicates is really working: Before the experiment
began meal Rochester selling at five pounds Tor
80 Before the end of the week. it was selling at five
pounds for Is CENTS
That doesn't mean that the grocers had been gougng
the people meal means simply that SO few people
wire buying meal that the grocers stocks OF were
tied up long time. and he had to have high profit on
to make it worth while to carry it at ALL As in any retail
business small profit each of lot of sales is better
than large profit few So if the stamp plan increases
the number of sales in these special surplus foods their
prices may well down. just they have in Rochester
But when that happens, they become attractive to still
people, those not relief And sales increase
still further. And prices drop still And more and
of the surplus consumed to the JOY OF the
farmer.
How greatly the stamp plan will benefit the surplus crop
suaon in the long remains of course to be SEEM
But certainly the best thing to do with surplus
to eat EN- And if they get eaten the government will per-
haps much in what it now pays to farmers because
there is . surplus, the new stamp plan will cost.
In any event, any attack the CHASTITY combination Of
surplus crops and malnutrtion standing side by side de-
attention and support Let's hope the government
ct last on the way to stamping out both problems
