"shooing" the beggar children
away continually.
The moment one gets out on
the street, they begin to hound
YOU. The men say they are
special police and want to pro-
tect you and show you around.
Then they take you to a shop
where they are in "kahoots"
with the owner and they sell
you everything they possibly
can get away with. There is
another "racket" they try, this
is it-one man comes up very
confidentially and opens his
handkerchief to show you a
beautiful ring appearing to be
a diamond. He tries to sell 1t
to you very cheap or even give
it to you if you will take it.
Then as the deal is going
through and you have received
the ring so-called policeman
rushes up and you discover
that you have a stolen ring,
and must give it back to them.
Also you have to pay a fee to
keep out of Jail. How is that
for way to make a living?
We saw that ring a number OF
times, when we were out.
There is no doubt but that
word "gyp" came from Egypt.

Although the ride was very
rough most of yesterday, it is

Congressman Clark Talks
To Empty Benches Most

Declaring that he did not know
who organized a meeting of nine
women and ten men, most Of
whom of the latter were represen-
tatives of the press, in the county
courthouse last night, Attorney
J. G. LeGrand introduced Repre-
sentative J. Bayard Clark of the
Seventh district, to the group.
Clark told the women, who
repeatedly had gathered to dis
cuss the high cost of living, prac-
tically the same thing he had pre-
viously told the Rotary club and
the Junior Chamber of Com
merce earlier in the day. His re-
marks will be found elsewhere
on this page.
LeGrand said that he was act
ing only as a temporary chairman
of the meeting, and he did not
know who the chairman was.
It has been reported that the
women of the city would meet
IN protest of rising food prices,
but not a single one of the nine
present uttered a word.
LeGrand asked for questions,
but no one seemingly wanted to
know anything. They asked no
questions, and when he had fini-
she'd speaking the meeting was

ton As Cure For
Economic Situation

Representative J. Bayard Clark
told a civic club here yesterday
that he did not believe Presi-
dent Truman would call an ex-
traordinary session of congress
to deal with the resent econom-
ic situation and the increasing
cost Of living.
Clark, who represents the
Seventh congressional district,
declared that he thought the
solution t the situation was 'for
everyone to forget about the 40
hour work week and overtime
and roll up his sleeves and pro-
duce."
In his address to the Rotary
club at its weekly meet F. in the
Friendly, Clark summed up the
activities of the 80th congress
and lauded the death of OPA,
which he termed a "pretty sorry
organization"
Clark also spoke to the Junior
Chamber of Commerce at their
evening meeting in the Friendly
and later appeared before a
group in the county courthouse.
Clark said that he believed
that if people would work and
produce, they could produce
enough to meet the nations
needs and thereby solve the ris-
ing cost of living.
$64 Question
Meantime, he said that what
is to be done about the rising
cost of living is the $64 question
