Relief Agencies
.DoAI| Right by
Welfare Client Buys
Two Cars. Two Trucks.
Refrigerator. Piano

Detroit and Wayne County re-
lief agencies were so good to Rob-
ert Lanier from December, 1889,
TO June, 1871. that he bought one
new car, two used trucks, an cleo
trio refrigerator, used car and
a new grand piano.
All good things come TO an end,
though, so today Lanier. of 1856
East Alexandrine street, awaits
sentence November "a from Re-
corder's Judge John j. Maher after
his conviction on charge of OBJ
tanning money under false pre-
lenses.
Lanier still has some money
left, too. He produced $500 bond
to 60 free until sentence.
WELFARE sETUP HIT
In pronouncing guilt, Judge
Maher criticized the welfare setup
and welfare investigators.
II am impressed that there n
pronounced laxity ON the part Of
welfare agencies I'm investigating
applicants" he said. II am also
impressed that there are too
many people on relief at . time
when industry Il working three
shifts . day."
Testimony showed that Lanier
came to Detroit from Monroe In
December, 1899, and was on city
relief until March, 1910. From
then until June, 1941, he was on
county relief.
CREDIT RATING AT STORES
During that time, il was testi-
flied, he made money as a Junk
man and had a credit rating at
department stores based on $50
SIS weekly earnings.
Lanier was specifically charged
with obtaining S425 under false
lpretenses from the county, but IL
was testified that he got $1,000
altogether.
Lanier liked to pay cash. He
paid 1895 cash for his new car
and $3.50 for the grand piano.
PURCHASES LAID TO SON
At his home, Lanier said son,
Robert Jr., who works in Ellkton.
VA, bought the refrigerator and
the piano for his mother and sister.
Lanier said another son, Paul,
bought the two used trucks.
He paid $50 for one and 914
for the other" said Lanier. I'm
using one In my junk business
now.

getting off relief instead of say

YOUTH AT THE
COUNTY FAIR

When you go to the county fair this
year, pay particular attention to the eX-
hibits of the All clubs and the Future
Farmers of America. You'll find many
of them not one whit less attractive than
the exhibits of adults, and some of them
even more attractive. And you'll be look
ing at the future of Imperial Valley.
One of the most heartening develop
ments of recent years has been the growth
of the All Club and Future Farmer
movements among farm boys and girls,
and others interested in making agricul-
ture their life work Nowhere will you
find this development better exenHpll-
fled than in exhibits at the county fair.
For too many years the average lay
man considered farming a business that
anyone could follow, without prepare
ton and without especial knowledge.
Too often a lot of people tried farming
on that basis. The results were disas-
trous. Heartbreak and establishment
followed
Today the general public is beginning
to realize that farming, like, anything
else that is done particularly well, must
be done by men trained in its methods
and necessities. 1t is training you can
not acquire in a month or a year.
The highly successful farmer Is more
than raiser of crops. He is soil expert,
a competent business man and close fol-
lower of market trends The less sue
cessful farmer lacks one or more of these
qualities. The unsuccessful farmer some
times lacks all of them.
The training gained by boys and girls
in the All Clubs and Future Farmers
organizations bases them firmly in all
the fundamental needs, in addition to
giving them actual experience in agrlcul-
tural pursuits even while they are learn
ing the business.
The more of these boys and girls lmpe-
rial Valley has, and the more encourage
ment that is given them through such
mediums as the county fair, the greater
will be the future of this valley.
Pay some attention to the youngsters
at the fair this year.

Consolidation of some scenes, such as

Stream|ined Slavery

Is poison less deadly because it
is chocolate coated? Are chains
and shackles less oppressive il
eilded?
OF course not. But those truths
must be only now gradually dawn
ing on many of the people of con-
quered Europe.
No doubt there were millions OF
people in central Europe who be-
lieved that there were worse things
than Nazi occupation; that life
could go on, and that somehow
after the war was over. independ-
ence might be restored.
But there are increasing dark
hints today that Germany plans
never to restore independence to
any of the countries it has con-
quered even those occupied for
reasons given out at the time as
purely military. And one need not
accept at face value the reported
speech OF Minister Walter Dare
to envision a new Dark Continent
III which subject peoples and in
ferior races" shall labor hopelessly
forever at mental work for what

to provide raw materials and food

JUDGES ABOVE POLITICS
(Christian Science MOnitOr)

The importance of having q judiciary
above the influence of partisan politics
is emphasized by the decision of the Mis-
souri, Supreme Court in the gubernator-
ial controversy in that State. 1t has or
dered the Democratic Legisl which
had sought to block his Inauguration as
governor, to seat Forrest c. Donnell, the
only Republican elected on the state TICK
ct last November. A purely partisan
bench might have played the game of the
Dickmann and Pendergast machines OF
ST. Louis and Kansas City, which sought
to seat their own man.
The incumbent governor, Lloyd C..
Stark, though a Democrat, had done his
best to prevent what appeared to be an
ill-founded election contest; but the cause
of good government has not always so
able a defender Hence the Importance
Of a judiciary above reproach.
The trend in the United States is TO-
ward appointment rather than election
of Judges or toward their election on a
non-partisan ballot
