The welfare, happiness and live hhood of 12,0OO people is Big Bus mess and deserves the full-time ef- forts of enough officers and cleri- cal staff to conduct the business efficiently.
 Apparently on the theory that something may still be had for nothing, the Union has permitted its officers to work without pay. While the officers deserve more than thanks for what they have done, it is not surprising that from lack of time and incentive this Union has fallen far behind other unions. It is up to the member ship to adjust arrangement so that in future the proper time and tal- ent may be given it's affairs, and the long shadow of the Boat Com pany may be removed beyond the peradventure of doubt from the deliberation of the Union.

10000 Farm Families
Operating as Tenants
Will Become Owners
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. as
Ten thousand farm families, nearly
crowded off their land during de-
preston years, soon will become
farm owners as result of the Gov
ernment's depression born attack on
rural poverty through establishment
of resettlement projects, P. G. Beck,
regional director OF the Farm Secur-
lty Administration, announced today.
At the end of the current crop
season, Mr.. Beck said in state
nent, deeds for most of project
farms are expected to be in hands of
tenants Of small farms who have
been renting from the Agriculture
Department.
The farms to be taken over, Mr..
Beck explained, are scattered in
dividual units adopted into the FSA
rehabilitation project, as well as
parts of IA large cooperative units,
established throughout the Nation in
the early 1930s by the Farm Reset
tlemeQL Administration.
Obtained Equipment.
The FSA coop farms are organ
lied just like any other cooperative
farm organization" Mr.. Beck said.
THE setup Is almost identical to any
big business, which is Jointly owned
by its stockholders"
Although the original farm aid
program envisaged Government re-
tirement of sub-marginal land and
resettlement OF poverty stricken
farmers to better soil, Mr.. Beck said,
1t was soon found that better land
did not mean successful farming
unless the farmer was able to obtain
necessary equipment and supplies
and was shown how to follow good
farming practices. Increasing en-
phasis was placed on this type of
service, which was called rehabiI-
tation, he explained.
Sales Progress Rapidly.
Nothing In the way of rural re-
habilitation had ever been tried be-
fore" he commented, "and no one
knew Just how it could be ef-
fected."
Sales Of individual farm units are
progressing rapidly, the director
said, although sale of the larger CO.
