NEW OFFENSIVE
 ON WPA STACKS
Bunker Hill Residents Pro. test Storage Site Off
 WatertOWn Avenue

Renewed complaints of Bunker Hill residents about the storage of materials used in WPA projects on city property on Watertown avenue led the Board of Works last night to ask that WPA authorities be consulted to see if the situation cannot be remedied. Members of the board commented that the storage area Hooked like shantytown" and was an eyesore.
 Mayor Vincent A. Scully said he had understood that when neighborS first complained last year 1t was decided not to store any new mater ials on Watertown avenue, but to leave the section clear once the materials on hand were all used.
 "They bring in 6 new load of stuif every other day." said Commissioners Henry J. Bowling.
 "It's 50 filled with shacks that 1t looks like shantytown," said Com missioner Fenton Niver.
 Assistant City Engineer Henry Whitlock said that moving of the materials would be costly, but that 1t would be done If the funds were provided. Commissioner Niver then asked why the materials could not be stored near the city abattoir.
 Its not a city responsibility" said Mayor Scully. but we ought to sec if we can't help these people who have been complaining for so long a tlme."
 '"The people up there arc red hot about It." commented Commis sioner Bowling.
 It was then voted to ask the WPA's cooperation in having the materials and the shacks placed elsewhere.

E. Mad, Fuel Dealer
Friendly Merchant

Ed S. Johnson, fuel dealer, in
the East Madison District, is to-
day growing expansion as well
as popularity.
20 years ago, Johnson con-
ceived his idea of Fuel dealing and
has watched his dreams grow to
a reality.
Serving only a few neighbors at
the outset, his trucks today deliver
fuel to Capital Hill, Montlake,
Madison Park and his neighbor-
hood district. Johnson says while
the price of coal from some mines
is standardized, yet by contract
ing for the entire output he is in
a position to offer fuel savings not
found elsewhere. The large stock
at his command places him in a
position to care for all the fuel
needs for his old and any new
customers"
His generosity has brought
warmth and comfort to many
needy people when the cold winds
blew from the North.
Johnson has been in his present
location for ten years and joins
the family of Friendly Merchants.

Our Defenses Start
At Home

The above is this years slogan
for the army of workers now en-
gagged in reaching the $3.50, 483
goal of the Seattle Community
Fund Campaign. This is one army
whose tactics are not of a de-
structive nature, but one in which
construction" and Assistance"
are the key words in their war on
poverty, sickness and suffering.
Community Fund agencies, through
their many services help strength
en- the attitudes of our people and
their belief in the Democratic way
of living, by meeting at their
source the social problems which
undermine our people and our De-
mocracy. Thus Community Fund
agencies, today more than ever,
are helping to preserve Democ-
racy, in the following ways:
Working to prevent the mental,
moral and physical breakdown of
individuals within the community
and our Democracy.
These things the Community
Fund agencies are doing today.
This is our plan for building our
home defenses. This is Democ-
racy in action.
