Something HMy1Uire? {.

Something is not right AT time of prosperity such

relief rolls annual cost of 81 billion dollars
That is at a record high
According to article in u S. News and World Report
the money to than 212 million elderly people,
100000 mothers with 100000 dependent children and to
the blind disabled and others.
Many wonder at such relief costs in boom times The
dominant factor to be revolutionary change in the
attitude Of many Americans toward relief Not too long
the INDECENT cared for by children took refuge
in poorhouse Relatives to the when misfor
tune struck families. Bigscale government aid prin
cpe and philosophy unknown.
In 1885 with depression in full swing, the Federal
government embarked program of direct assistance to
the needy providing funds to states matching basis
The program then regarded temporary Once bust
improved naturally felt that this kind of assist
would gradually end But the realization has been
enormously different from the expectation Not only
people getting relief checks but amounts far high
Old regulations which denied relief to people owning
property such autos insurance and homes have gene
ally been berazed abandoned AS the magazine pointed
out, MANY Americans getting public aid today people
of substance and respecaby In states relief to
elderly is not called relief at al-they get pensions
U. s. News goes into of the advanced by
socioogists for the growth in welfare People live longer

separated by distances and the close family
aonShips of another disappearing. No
have any real solution social and economic problem
Across the nation people turning their family
problems to the state Big relief rolls developing
a permanent part of the American way of life.
And, to way of thinking this is not good Nor is
it particularly American. Eventually it will destroy

Rain Brings Some
Relief On Tuesday

Refreshing rain, the first of any
consequence within the past two
weeks, fell on Garrett county Tues
day evening accompanied by light
electrical storm.
The rain was welcomed by forest
ers, firemen and farmers. Ralph
Weber, veteran weather man of
the area, said almost one-half inch
of rain fell during the period.
There had been a slight rain on
Saturday evening which did nothing
more than dampen the top of the
ground, but Tuesdays fall was con-
sidered of much value to crops.
1t was learned this week that
since the 24-degree weather of
some days ago, late fruit blossoms
had come out which did not appear
to be damaged, so that hope of a
crop this summer and fall had been
increased.
A breakdown of the week
showed Friday clear and warm;
Saturday cloudy with slight rain
in the evening; Sunday, hot and
dry; Monday clear until afternoon
when there were just few drops
of rain. Tuesday was cloudy with
thunder shower beginning about Z
O'Clock. Wednesday was clear until
evening when there was another
slight rain. Today was cloudy and
much colder.
