Not Feasible To
Hire Negroes As
Enurnerators On
Census Set Up In
| New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS -fANp)-The
statement issued here by the local
census supervisor. Clarence Fettis,
that, I'VE have given due considera-
tion to all angles and have decided
that il Is not feasible to hire Ne
groes as enumerators in the local
census setup,' has aroused fnrore
within the neighborhoods Of Negro
citizens, as an avalanche Of white
enumerators descended uDon the
field last week.
Information on the attitude Of
local officials has been directed to
the Washington office Of the bureau,
but since the enumerators have al.
ready started work, little hope Ii
seen for getting Negroes In the
working part Of the census.

navy farces are strong and final
action on the Navy Departments
request will depend upon future de-
velopments.
The Logan Walter Bill, giving the
right Of appeal to the courts from
rulings, decisions and actions Of gov
ernmental bureaus, commissions and
agencies, passed the House late last
week after four day parliamen-
tary battle. Students Of government
contend that the bill is one of the
most imp ortant measures that has
been before Congress for a long
time and goes far toward restoring
the rights Of individual citizens in
extending to them protection against
the arbitrary actions Of tn ebureau-
cracy that has been growing so ra-
pldly In recent years. The passage
Of the bill by vote Of 282 to 81
was crushing defeat for Admins
tration forces. New Deal leaders
both in and out Of Congress used
every bit Of influence and power
possible to defeat the measures.
However. the people back home--the
general nublicwanted the measure
passed and the House acted accord
ingly.

The Daughters Of the American
Revolution took possession Of Wash
lngton last week in full force with
their annual convention being held
at both Constitution Hall and Con-
tinental Hall Representing the best
Of American womanhood, this fine
patriotic organization gave full con-
slderatlon to national and interna-
tional happenings and stated frank
" and firmly the patriotic objectives
for which their organization will
work in the future, Those in at
tendance came from every city, town
and hamlet in the United States.
Congressional Ire was aroused last
week when il was discovered that
Governor Black Of the Farm Credit
administration and Secretary Wal
lace of the Department Of Agricul-
ture had sent out, at government
expense, letters to farmers having
Federal Farm Land Bank loans in
which it was broadly intimated that
unless certain legislation now before
Congress was passed, farm loans of
the farmers addressed might be in
danger. The truth OF the matter is,
of course, that regardless Of wheth-
er the legislation Is passed or de-
7feated the status Of Federal Farm
Land Bank loans now in effect will
not IN any way be changed. The ac-
tlvlties Of the Secretary Of Agricul-
ture and Governor Blark, Congress
sional leaders assert, are in direst
violation of the law and both are
being widely censured.

you wanted to, you could leave the

any harm"
So among my recommendations.
about preparing the young child
for school, should like to empha-
size very strongly that you be sure
to look up the record and make
certain your child has been vac
clnated against smallpox.
In a group of college students
at Manhattan, Kansas, it was
found that twenty per cent had
never been vaccinated.
The Younger the Better
The age at which smallpox vac
cination should be done is very
young. One series of cases has
been reported when it was done on
the first day of life. Six months
is conservatively considered the
proper time. The young patients
stand it better than when they are
older. The multiple puncture meth
cd now used is hardly troublesome
enough to require the use of
dressing.
We hear objections about the
trouble of having vaccination done
three times, but it has been found
that simultaneous immunization
against smallpox, typhoid and
dlphtheria can all be done at the
same time without any more reac-
ton than one gets from vaccine
given for only one disease.

spread it; servant who goes in
to town may come back and give
the disease to the entire house
hold. The only protection was in
having had a previous attack.
If we try to project ourselves in
that frame of mind, we will be in
a position to thank heaven that we
have today safe and sure way
Of preventing smallpox. Instead
Of complaining about the trouble
of vaccination, or putting off the
day when It should be done, one
day of experience like that in the
eighteenth century would make
US want to rush pell nell and have
all the children vaccinated at
once.
No Such Fear Today
Because if you hear today that
smallpox has broken out in the
next village, you just shrug your
shoulders and see to it that every
one in your household is vaccinat-
ed right away.
On one occasion when I was

DENTAL CARE AND
GENERAL HEALTH
More Than Going To The
Dentist, Child's Mouth
Should be Clean

Don't let your child suffer from
toothache and lose time from school
because of neglect on your part, y
is the advice of DR.. Richard c..
Leonard, Chief of the Bureau of
Oral Hygiene of the Maryland
State Department of Health, to
mothers of growing girls and boys
Aching teeth and absence from
school should be avoided as a
matter of course" he continued,
"but what is even more serious
is that the child's general health
is likely to be endangered if his
teeth are neglected. Regular den
tai care will help to maintain the
general health.
Dental care does not mean mere
ly going regularly to the dentist.

Such visits are part of program
of dental care-an important part
If visited often and regularly, the
family dentist can detect tooth
defects when they are tiny and
correct them, not only with little
difficulty but, with greater GER

of the trouble.
Put there should also be per-
sonal dental care. That is, the
mouth should be kept clean by
thorough painstaking brushing at
least twice daily. Clean teeth are
not guaranteed against decay but
there is much less chance of clean
teeth decaying.
Another part of personal dental
care involves the diet During the
formative period of the teeth the
body must be regularly supplied
with tooth building foods. Once
the teeth are formed, a good, well
diet will help to maintain
both general and dental health
Such diet includes a liberal supply

Parents Must Assist
 h Curbing Accidents
Record of Two Children Killed, 67 Injured On Waterbury Streets Shows Necessity of Co., operation in Promotion of Safety.

Supt. of Police William J. Roach, aghast at the increasing number of child-accidents, today appealed to parents to teach their children that the "curb- line is their lifeline"
 In especial statement, the chief told parents that they must never be indifferent in their lessons of safety.
 Supt. Roach's statement follows:
 "Just as the school bell has been superseded by the radio as 8 time piece, modes of going to and from school have also changed.
 Modern traffic has not only in- creased the hazard for children but it has also imposed added duties upon parents. Their responsibility does not end at the front door after getting children ready for school, but rather it extends to the school building-as in bad weather when 1t becomes necessary to transport the children to school in the family car.
 Children must be instructed early in life-at home as well as in school that streets are dangerous and that the "curb line is their life line!" It is never crossed except at intersec- tions and cross walks and then only CD when no cars are approaching CD when police officer is present and instructs them to cross (3) when a traffic signal shows green in the direction they are walking. It is imperative that child should be taught never to jaw-walk to the op- posite corner of the intersection.
 Last school year two children were killed and sixty-seven injured. The largest percentage of these were not at intersections. This record together with the fact that many times more children cross at inter sections than between corners, is convincing evidence that children are safer at intersections and should cross at these points.
 When it is not practical for child ren to cross trunk highways at in- terSectionS, or when it is necessary for them to walk along the pave ment, extra caution must be exerted by them-they must be even more careful than at intersections. They should walk along the left edge of

New York, Oct. 12--UP)-Joseph A. Buddy, 62, head of one of Amer ica's most famous swimming fami- lies, was sentenced to one to two years in Sing Sing prison yesterday by General Sessions Judge John J. Freschi on his plea of guilty to charges of grand larceny and graft ing.
 E Buddy, brother of Tammany dis trict leader Stephen Buddy and Fire Battalion Chief Michael Buddy, was accused of taking unlawful fees of $250 to $1,00O each from candidates for firemen and policemen jobs to give them preferred positions on Civil Service lists.
 Judge Freschci read probation report which said that at least 135 candidates had paid a score of per- sons, including Buddy, several thousand dollars" in such bribes.
 Judge Freschi said he was in fluenced in imposing light sen- tence instead of the IS years to which Buddy was liable by the fact that Buddy had pleaded guilty ad helped the state against John J. Ellis, a co-defendant.
 This man, in a moment of weak ness, Succumbed to the lure of money because, believe, there was serious illness in his family" the Judge said. "But that is no excuse for crime. :"
 Defense counsel James o. Murray said that Buddy, married and fath- CT of four living children, now was totally deaf and had no money.
 Murray read letters of endorse ment from public officials and bus mess leaders and one from motion picture star w. c. Fields which said in part:
 If my lovable, honest, honorable friend Joe Ruddy has inadvertently dropped 8 wild oat somewhere, 1t has been on account of his heart felt contribution for others =. when his life is written it will be 8 text book and an inspiration to young America. I do not know what this dido or rap is against him, but if Joe is wrong, then our whole sys- tenn of humanitarian instincts should be thrown out of the win dow"
 Buddy was one of Americas most famed swimmers. He and his three sons-Ray, the most famous, died after a fall in 1938-won 8 total of more than 1,500 cups and medals.
