Our Feathered Friends
(By UNCLE JERRY

Dear Boys and Girls:
So many of you responded to
the request of feeding my feather
ed friends, made in this column,
that / wish to express my sincere
gratitude to you in behalf of the
birds. Keep the good work going!
The Morning Sun of January 9th
states that district deputy game
wardens were instructed to dis
tribute grain to farmers and others
in their districts, who are willing
to feed game birds" But we do not
want to forget our song birds, or
even the starting.
With but little trouble, plus good
Judgment, you may have birds
feeding on your window sill. Put
your feed in the open, and be sure
that your pet cat or dog is out of
sight. Try not to disturb the
birds while they are eating. Let
me suggest few things that my
feathered friends like! Our land
birds that spend the winter with
us, feed mostly on seeds. Therefore
sunfiower seed, rye, oats, wheat,
corn or chicken feed are all in or
der. Bread crumbs put in a dry
place are always appreciated. Suet
tied on the limbs of trees on your
lawn will attract the chickadee,
nuthatch and woodpecker.
Get peach basket and put some
straw in it. Take it to the corner
of the garden fence and now place
in it corn or schatch feed. Drop
some Of the feed on the ground.
Bob-White will soon find the corn,
and he, with his friends, will hop
up into the basket and eat to their
hearts delight. Please do not
scare them while eating In a few
days you will be able to take pic
lures of the meal. Shoot with your
camera and not with your gun!
Photographing birds is real fun.

A SURE CURE
For The
DEPRESSION
By L. W. MILLER, Secy-Treas.
Rockville Townsend Club

Wipe out poverty in the richest
nation in the world. Do away with
business failures and suicides. Re-
store buying power to the people.
Come to the Townsend meeting
and learn the truth. The Town
send Recovery Plan gives the
young folks new life, chance to
earn money and provide earned
comforts for the aged. The plan
has aroused the people of this
nation. Remember, one hundred a
month is a pension = two hundred
month is recovery. How true
the words of President Roosevelt,
"The power of the people once
aroused is the most irresistible
force in the world. That power
is aroused and it's Irresistible
force is at work.
Over thirty million people have
signed petitions to make the
Townsend Recovery Plan a law.
Critics say that the Townsend
Plan is fantastic, impossible. The
same things were said of steam
boats, railroads, telegraph, and
other inventions. It is the most
humane, moral, Christian plan that
has ever come before the American
people. Churches, fraternal or
CARNATIONS, and organized labor
are working for it's adoption.
1t will create purchasing power
and produce real permanent recov-
cry. Poverty causes so much mis-
cry and is unnecessary in this
land of plenty. The American
people are banding together in
clubs to do away with it.
The man past sixty has given
forty of the best years of his life
to build this nation and has earned
a reward. About eight million
people would be eligible to receive
this fund. The forced spending of
which will create eight million jobs
for the young people.
You may own your home or
farm; what you have is yours.
Nothing is taken away. You do
not have to be pauper to get
this.
Can you imagine eight million
people spending two hundred dol
lars a month, buying at least eight
million suits of clothes, eight mil
lion dresses, eight million pairs of
shoes, and all other kinds of wear
ing apparel, also furniture, etc.
Specialists selected by the Presi-
dent have reported that the pro-
duction power of each family in
1884 amounted to $4,37O.0O. From
1924 to 1929 the average income
from wages, dividends, interest,
rents, etc., was fifty-five billion
dollars; working people received
eleven billion, this included all
skilled labor and farming.
The annual cost of welfare and
private relief in the United States
is approximately thirty EIGHT bill
lion dollars; crime, eighteen bill
lion; poor houses and insane over
three billion. narcotics, two and a
half billion; loss of unemployment
over twenty-five billion; totaling
over eighty-four billion dollars. If
Townsend Recovery Plan becomes
law, approximately seventy-five
per cent of the above would be
eliminated. This saving of about
fifty billion dollars, would more
than pay two hundred a month to
those over sixty.
Everybody says that something
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1940-01-18

has got to be done. Let us do it
by the Townsend Plan and not by
revolution. Labor organizations
are recommending Doctor Town
send as the emancipation of the
common people. The Townsend
Transaction Tax will give us the
cheapest prosperity the nation has
ever had.
Politicians are pensioned at five
thousand a year, policemen, fire.
men, city officials, all pensioned,
but nothing for the farmer or the
laborer who are the backbone of
the nation Join the Townsend
Club and help to abolish poverty
and poor houses!
Sincerely yours,
L. w. Miller, Secy-Treas.
