When things were at their blackest
a paternal Federal administration con-
ceived public relief for America. If
ever a town needed such ald, this one
‘did, and the people grasped eagerly
a’ the manna from Washington, obed-
iently bartering their political beliefs
for bread and butter.
Before long the government was
pumping badly-needed money into the
little community. True, individually it
amounted to little more than enough
to keep body and soul together, but
many had scarcely been able to do
that. Today, we are told, three-fourths
of the residents of this community are
~ dependent upon government relief,
Obviously, these people could not
be left to starve. Their situation was
not of their own making. Even now,
few of them enjoy being helped by the
government, and many of them resent
~ , the political aspect of their relief jobs.
When they can, they find jobs else-
where and move. It appears that the
community is, unless something un-
foreseen steps inh to check the decline,
to become a ghost town.
——
Yet, day after day, more relief funds
pour in. The community has two
swimming pools, one of them finer
than anything in Wyoming Valley.
Government funds have built tennis
courts, a new community building, an
annex to the school. Everywhere one
. sees civic improvements which would
be welcomed enthusiastically by any
growing, progressive community. Per-
haps the crowning achievement in the
effort to find work for the surplus of
relief effort is the improvement of a
highway into a neighboring farming
valley. The new road is being built
by hand labor. It will cost several
million dollars. It will lead from this
community ta a valley which probably,
has a total population of 300 souls.
ng
We cannot help but wonder who will
use these fine buildings, these swim-
ming pools and roads, who will go to
these schools or attend these free
WPA music classes in the future. Not
the young people who look forward to
the day when they can move away.
Not new residents, surely, for there is
certainly no attraction now for Im-
migrants.
Unless the government finds some
answer better than WPA this town
must slowly die, and every bit of the
millions of dollars spent here will be
lost. That is a frightful thought, and
a bitter reflection upon the vision and
wisdom of our so-called enlightened
democracy
We merely present the problem as
we have found it here this week, We
wish we Knew the answer. It does
seem to us that the money which is
being spent here might be invested
more wisely—if not in re-opening the
mines, in the establishment of some
other needed industry which would
check the town’s decline, make these
fine people self-supporting again, and
give the government some chance for
a return on its investment. That, we
suppose, is socialism. It is also logic.
