Boards Also
Will Meet

The Board of Public Welfare will
meet tomorrow and may consider
the question of scrapping the pres
ent rule of the board denying gen.
eral relief funds to unemployed en-
ployables.
The rule was repeatedly adopted
on the theory that such persons
could obtain w. P. A. posts if their
need was certified. But with the
expected curtailment of some $500
w. P. A. jobs within the next few
days and increase in the general re-
lief fund of 100000 to take care OF
some of these persons who will be
let out in prospect, the rule Will
have to be changed before such per-
sons would become eligible.
Nav Name Director.
The question of another nomlna-
ton to the post of welfare director
may also be considered since the
Commissioners rejected the nomi-
nation of Ray Huff, head of the
District penal institutions.
The final meeting of the Board
of Education until next fall, unless
emergency matters call for special
sessions, will be held Tuesday at 9
am. at the Franklin School. OFF,
GERS for the coming year will be
elected.

uled at the District Building by the

that there is enough on hand as

rate for the next 10 years without
collecting an additional dollar.

Mr.. Heigle said he was also op-
posed to carrying out the major
portions of the Whitehurst highway
report until the end OF the de-

that he urged such a course be-
cause of the cost of the projects
and because of the diversion of

Plan to Hike
Milk Price
Producers Cite
Higher Expense,
Seeking Rise

Washington consumers cannot
support an increase of cent a
quart in the cost of fluid milk,
according to a lengthy brief filed
by the District Consumers Milk
Committee with the Secretary of
Agriculture who now has the matter
under consideration at the request
of local milk producers.
Supporters of the increase con-
tend it is justified by their increased
labor expenditures and other ex-
penses caused by the recent drought.
In connection with the surplus milk
now used for relief families here,
they ask why Maryland and Vir-
ginia farmers should bear both their
own and District relief loads.
Per Capita Use Low.
According to the consumer COM
mittee per capita milk consumption
here is less than a point a day and,
in lower income groups, less than a
half pint a day. Nutritionists, it
was said. recommend a quart a day
for children and pint for adults,
Cost of living in the Nations
Capital has risen sharply in recent
months while the salaries of Gov
ernment employees have remained
fixed, it was pointed out, together
with the fact that Washington has
a large Negro population which has
apparently not been able to benefit
from the increased employment
here
What this means" according to
the statement, lis that wage cuts
have occurred on the buying end
of the dollar through rise in prices
that must be met out of low fixed
incomes"
Distribution Change Urged.
The committee charged that under
the scent milk program to certain
needy eligibles covering about 500
families here, consumption of fluid
whole milk increased so per cent
In the white families and 100 per
cent among the colored. This, the
committee said, is proof that milk
consumption is tied up with price.
The report also recommended that
the relief milk be distributed from
stores rather than from IL depots
which now make it physically i'm
possible for many otherwise eligible
persons to participate.
At least one citizen association,
the Southwest group, is investigat-
ing the opportunities for general
availability of evaporated Debated

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS.

For a long time Peter Rabbit sat
in Grandfather Chuck's old house
between the roots of the Old Hickory
Tree on the bank of the Smiling
Pool. He felt quite sure that Reddy
Fox had gone away, but he didn't
mean to take any chances, and so
he continued to sit where he was
safe. After while he began to
hear faint little sounds, little taps,
and scratching noises as if made by
claws. They seemed to come from
right over his head, but he knew
that there was no one in that hole
but himself. He couldn't understand
those noises at all. They made him
nervous.
Finally Peter decided it would be
safe to peek outside. Very carefully
he poked his head out. Just as he
did so little chip struck him right
on the nose. Peter pulled his head
back hurriedly and stared at the
little chip which lay just in front of
the hole. Then several more little
chips fell. Peter knew that they
must come from up in the Big Hick-
ory Tree, and right away he was all
curiosity. Redwing was singing so
happily that Peter felt sure no dan
ger was near. So he hoped outside
and looked up to try to find out
where those little chips had come
from. Just few feet above his head
was round hole in the trunk of the
Big Hickory Tree. While he was
looking at it, head with a long,
stout bill was thrust out, and in that
bill were two or three little chips.
Peters heart gave a little jump of
glad surprise.
yellow Wing!" he cried. my
goodness, how you startled mel"
The chips were dropped and the
head was thrust farther out. The
sides and throat were soft reddish
tan, and on, each side at the begin
ming of the bill was a black patch
The top of the head was gray, and
just at the back of it was a little
band of bright red. There was no
mistaking that head. 1t belonged
to Yellow Wing the Flicker, beyond
a doubt.
Hello, Peter" exclaimed Yellow
Wing, his eyes twinkling. What are
you doing here?"
Nothing" replied Peter. "but I
want to know what you are doing.
What are all those chips?"
I'm fixing up this old house of
mine" replied Yellow Wing prompt
ly. 1T wasn't quite deep enough to
suit me, so I am making it a little
deeper. Mrs. Flicker and I haven't
been able to find another house to
suit us, so we have decided to live
here again this year"
Peter knew now what had made
the queer noises. They had been
made by the tapping of Yellow
Wings bill and the scratching of his
claws as he worked to make his
hole deeper.
