More Than 1000 Died
In Disasters Durinq 1913

More than 11,795 persons were
killed in disasters throughout the
world in 1913, according to the
1913 Britannica Book of the Year.
This count does not include, of
course, the thousands killed in
single scattered accidents.
The greatest number of deaths,
more than 5000 resulted from nat
ural phenomena. Of these, more
than three thousand persons
persisted in a series of earth
quakes in Fukui, Japan, in June.
Tornados, hurricanes, and floods
also took a large toll. The tabula-
ton does not include the hundreds
killed in floods in southern Tur-
key, in which an actual count Of
the dead was impossible.
Marine accidents took at least
1875 lives. OF this total, an esti-
mated LOO were missing and pre-
sumed dead after an explosion
aboard a refugee steamer south
Of Shanghai, China, in December.
Air disasters accounted for 716
of the dead, and included such
major tragedies as the June crash
Of a DEG near Mt. Carmel, Pa,
in which 43 passengers were
killed, and the presumed loss Of a
French plane carrying So passen-
gers near Martinique.
Fires and explosions were next
highest among the killers, &C.
counting for at least 610 lives.
Seventy-two died in traffic disas-
tiers, including the 10 persons
aboard a Belgian bus which
caught fire. Railway disasters &C.
counted for the loss of &c lives,
and 80 were killed in miscellan-
eous disasters, such as the
Donora, Pa, smog.,

. Pie is dessert to have at any
luncheon or dinner, whether light
or heavy. 1t might be a rich apple
pie, topped with scoops of ice
cream if the meal itself has been
shy on ca|ories.
Pies may be baked or chilled.
Their crust may be pastry or
crumb. Their filings may be fruit,
berries, juice or eggs or combina-
tons of these, so you see how much
variety pie can give your meals.
If you have some especially
bright and lovely berries or fruit,
don't hide them under a top crust.
Place lattice crust or crumb top
ping or lacy fluting of whipped
cream on the pie, and let everyone

conditions little short of slavery.
1t was rather generally held that
inadequate assistance to the needy
was necessary and desirable since
this would oblige recipients, for
fear of starvation, to be more ener
getic in their efforts to find and
keep such employment as they
could do. This thinking of course
failed to recognize the fact that
energy is generated by health, not
by hunger.
Gradually, there developed a
social consciousness that all was
not well with these old systems of
care for the needy and unfortu-
nate. Private charity spearheaded
great movements for providing
better care for children and the
aged. Institutions devoted exclu-
sively to the care of children.

1t is a pleasure and a privi-
lege to meet with you teach
ers and other citizens of St.
Croix, and to discuss with you
some of the social welfare
problems of our Island. It is
most desirable and whole
some that teachers and social
workers land indeed all per-
sons in public service) should
become well acquainted with
and should understand as full
ly as possible each others res
possibilities and problems

services there are often need

communities and of their
people.
Tonight we are privileged
to present information about
the social welfare program so
that you may better under

that this will be followed, by
some discussion here tonight

ways In which we can help
you attain your goals.
In the plan for tonight's SEES
sion, l am expected to give
you an overall picture of So
cial welfare as it has develop
ed in general in our nation
and in particular, of the pro-
gram as it functions in our Is
land. My esteemed colleagues
on this session will take up in
greater detail certain speci-
fic functions, operations and
problems of the social welfare
program.
Problems of poverty and
dependency are as old as his
tory itself. But methods have
meeting these problems have
changed with the increasing
complexity of society and the
very concept that society is
responsible for it's members
has gone through a long and
painful growing period. In ear
Hest times the clan or tribe
furnished small, compact unit
in which the weak and unfor-
tunate were afforded care and
protection as was possible and
convenient. In feudal society
of the Middle Ages, the tribal
system were perpetuated.
The serfs owed their all to
their liege lords but in turn
were assured Of support" by
their masters even when no
longer unable to earn" that
support. With the breakup of
the feudal system, the coming
of the Industrial Revolution,
the development Of factories
and workshops and wage-ear
ming systems, a new problem
, 1949-08-09

\ N@~
arose for the care of those
who were not able to earn ade=
quate or any wages and for whose
support no one able to furnish
such support was clearly response
bic. From early times, religion
taught that the weak and poor
should be cared for by their more
fortunate neighbours, and, when
the feudal system passed out of
existence, the Church becam for
a time the main resource for as
Slstance to those in need. The pro-
blem soon proved itself to be be-
You'd the resources of the Church,
however, and the necessity for
Government intervention became
apparent. In the year 1901, the
concept of responsibility of the
Government for the care of de-
pendents took concrete form when
the Poor Laws of Queen Elizabeth
of England were passed, making
each parish responsible for the
care of its own poor. This year
1901 is generally regarded as the
beginning of the history of nl1b-
lie assistance.
These laws were transplanted to
our United States of America
while they were yet British colo
MES, and, for about three centu-
ries, they formed the basis of
most of the legislation in effect in
the English-speaking New World.
They provided a great improve
ment over the. chaos that existed
before they came into being, but
could hardly meet tn e
the needs of the rapidly
society of the In
dustrial Revolution. One outstand-
ing problem that developed was
that of deciding just which town
or country was responsible for the
support of an INDECENT, to solve
which, complicated settlement"
laws developed. Often conflicting
settlement" laws and conflicting
interpretations resulted in situa-
tons in which an INDECENT could
find no country or township
which would accept the response
of this support. These poor
laws too were based on old con-
cepts that poverty and dependen-
cy were little short Of crimes. The
poor and the unemployed were
sent to warehouses with much
the same feeling that criminals
were sent to Jail. Orphaned chill
dren, the aged, and the sick were
1erded together in these work
louses as outcasts Of society-the

bers OF the Explorers Club have
had more adventures than any
other organization in the world.
Most Of the clubs veterans ad-
init this. Among them is Major
Anthony Fiala. who has spent a
lifetime outfitting and "adven-
ture-poofng" expeditions. He
equipped Teddy Roosevelt for
his exploration Of the "River
Of Doubt" accompanying the
late president through the
Brazilian bush. He outhtted

other members. He's convinced no

the unforeseen.
On his own expedition to Franz

found that a steel tack had some

magnetic instruments. This made
it necessary to correct thousands of
laborious observations. prolonging
his stay until food supplies ran
dangerously low.

No woman may join the Ex-
plorers Club or sit in at the long
oak table. but some of the wives
of members manage to get taken
along on their husbands expedi-
tions. They usually give a pretty
good account of themselves.
Mrs. Finne Rome, for exam
pie. accompanied Commander
Rome on his recent Antarctic
expedition, one Of the first two
women to visit the Antarctic.
One young member. William X.
Carpenter, was glad he had been
persuaded by his wife. Frances, to
take her along on a collecting
expedition to Africa. Carpenter
was gathering fora when he was
charged by a black rhino. His rife

Another member, Colonel VIII

Irene, co-leader of his expedition
which carried the club flag the
length of Africa.
They were in the field for months
and had many rugged experiences.
Their trucks got stuck in sandy
deserts. drove through the tsetse-
fly country. got begged down in
Congo mud. On his return the
colonel returned the flag and gave
an account of its travels. Then he
was asked what he considered the
greatest of all his adventures.
Morden didn't hesitate.
