EDITORIAL HOW TO GET A JOB It is said to be hard to get a job, but so many people have so much enterprise that they get one under most any condition. A clothing salesman in Beloit, Wis. recalls how he got his start. When 16 years old, he saw a suit in a store window which he wanted, and he went in and offered to work for the suit. Such enterprise pleased the store owner, he took the boy on, and since then he has sold clothesto 15,- 000 of his home town people. When some folks can’t see any paying job, they offer to take "Mold and work for anything an employer can pay them, and sometimes they work for nothing to show what they can do. Anyone who shows such 2 love for work usually finds it. EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND NEW HOMES A YEAR According to the Research De- partment of the NRA, an annual building volume of 800,000 residen- tial units is required to supply the need for new dwellings. This takes no account of replacement of exist- ing sub-standard homes, and until these are replaced the needed volume could easily be at the rate of 2,000,- 000 structures a year. A building revival could fall far below these high limits, and still be the most powerful of factors in fight ing depression. No dollar we spend does more work, in stimulating do- mestic trade and providing employ ment, than does the building dollar. Surveys show that 37.3 per cent of all the money spent goes to labor at the site—to excavators, graders, car- penters, masons, plumbers, plaster- ers, etc. The balance of 627 per cent goes to buy needed materials and supplies and the great bulk of that is paid to workers in the plants and factories manufacturing them. In general, about eighty cents out of each dollar goes to labor, directly or indirectly. y The heavy industries—those sup- plying manufactures as steel, lumbel, cement—were hit hardest by hard times. They are facing the gravest difficulties in recovering from them. Spurring the construction would do much to solve a legion of our most troublesome problems. AN ASSURED FARM FUTURE The Cooperative Division of the Farm Credit Administration reports that a million more animals were handled by farmers cooperative sales agencies operating on terminal live- stock markets in 1933 than in 1932. The value of the increase is placed ut $7,000,000. That record is similar to those as made by other major cooperative groups last year. The cotton produc- ers, the dairymen, the fruit farmers of various sections—all of them have showed an increasing faith in the necessity and efficacy of the coopera- tive plan. And the result was, in a disorganized and chaotic year, that the American agriculturist made gen uine progress in building for a pros- perous future. Cooperation is the keystone of the agriculture—precisely as it has been the keystone of industry for many vears. All the government relief in the world, no matter how well inten tioned and how expertly administer- ed, can be of but temporary benefit. It can aid—but it cannot cure prob- lem. It may carry farmers over the lean periods—but it cannot assure fat ones. The cooperatives are per- manent. They are unaffected by the political considerations. They do not go out of business with a change of administration. They are here to stay—and their work never stops, never wavers. Farmers should make 1934 the re- cord ‘cooperative year.’ They should leyally support their organizations, and seek to enlist new members. Do- ing that means money in their pock- ets—and it means that real farm re- covery is on the way. GOVERNMENT AND THE CO- OPERATIVES When it comes to helping the far- mer, the government can pursue no more effective course than to work with and for the farmer-owned and controlled cooperative associations. That is the opinion of many agri- cultural economists, and of officials in the Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Adjustment Admin- istration. And Mr. Roosevelt has said substantially the same thing many times. It is better to help a person do a thing for himself than simply to do it for him—and that applies to the farmers and everyone else. The coop- eratives are here to stay. They do got change with administrations and ies and shifts in political senti- A farm relief law may be ally revised overnight, and ra course of procedure has ative policy is fixed ent so far as basic prin- COOPE Health Heroes Also Should Be Honored Memorial Day Observances Should Recall Heroes of Peace, Says Dr. Rice By Dr. John L. Rice Health Commissioner, New York City IZ paying tribute to those heroes who gave their lives in bloody conflicts that our Nation might live, it might be well to dedicate the day also to those men of science who fought and coe. uered dis- exes that our lives ight be Yealthi and happier. For the most part the praises of these savants have re- mained unsung, and in far too many instances Dr. John L. Rice their names have even been forgotten by the rank and file. Had it not been for the work of these men, and the solid founda- tion they laid in medicine and public health, it is unlikely that we should have been celebrating Child Health month in this year of 1534. Toll of Disease Far more terrible and devastat- ing than any man-made army, dis- ease germs een mowing down many more ltons each year than had any war in any period.

Park. ————— A CIs. ORIGIN OF SLANG ected mosquitoes. William H. Davis, of Stanford uni- versity is right in his deductions. Dr. Davis, who is said to be in favor of use of slang, because it adds color to the language, believes that “fight- ing tooth and nail” and ‘gouging between the eyes” originated back in the days of the cave man. Of course, “draw a long bow” and ‘shot his bolt” must have had their origin back in the days of chivalry while “flash in the pan” and “quick on the trigger’ came a little later with the invention of firearms. So the mod- ern generations are merely carrying on by coining such phrases as “Where’s Elmer” and “Come up to see me sometime. designed tem- ciples are concerned. It is for the long pull, and not for porary emergencies. It is an encouraging fact that the federal government is constantly seeking to strengthen the position of the cooperatives. It is working with them in its acreage reduction pro- gram, and the cooperative leaders have been freely consulted when the farm legislation and policies were be- ing considered. The fine progress the co-ops have made during depression in the face of great obstacles, is the most encouraging sign on the agri- cultural horizon. INDUSTRIAL REVIVAL FIRE SAFETY On every side one hears of new efficiency in industry. In such a regime there is no place for fire, the AND great waster of lives, materials and time. This is a particularly good time of the year to consider ways of banishing fire from industry. The stir of spring is in the air, people are beginning to clean up and paint up their property and beautify their premises. In industry there is a very definite place for such activities and they should go much further than when limited to private dwell- ings. In addition to the usual in- spection for common fire hazards, there should be a careful search for special hazards peculiar to the man- ufacturing processes of the business. In order to minimize the possibil- ity of fire, it is best to formulate a set of rules for the guidance of the concern’s employes. These should be prominently displayed and explained to all, and any infraction prdmptly dealt with. In addition, it is worth- while to organize the employes for the purpose of preventing and fight- ing fires on the premises. Employes may be trained in handling a limited amount of fire fighting equipment to extinguish or control fires until the local fire department can arrive at the scene. The “spring clean-up” idea has been highly successful in banishing fire. It is a worthwhile project in which our town might well engage. in order to conserve life and pro- perty. By KAY ALLEN forms. It crops out in marble shooting, rope-jumping, play: ing hookey from school, or an urge to turn the house up-side-down. The smartest housewife of my ac quaintance turns these vague yearn ings of the various members of her family into constructive work. To put it simply, she shows them that it's fun to help paint and decorate the porch in the hazy. lazy, entrancing days of early sum mer. She starts with the floor. Since the floor takes a constant beating from the tramp of many small feet, she has it done over every year with a durable porch-and-deck paint. This season it's being painted a + deep leaf green which makes one think of a forest carpet. The wicker furniture is being sprayed with a quick-drying exterior enamel of a lighter, softer green, with trim- mings of pale yellow. There are green flower boxes all along the edge of the porch, where she puts her potted plants. With the aid of her young daughters, she’s making fresh covers for the cushions and the porch swing which are of color ful cretonne in two tones of green. vellow and white. S om FEVER takes strange This friend of mine has given me many valuable hints about painting porch furniture. She says that if you want to keep the wicker its natural color, use spar varnish to protect it. Hickory furniture—the kind with the bark still on—should also have a coat of spar varnish, not only to protect the wood but to save sheer hose and summer dresses from snagging. Modern meta! furniture, she says. should be given a coating o: quick: drying exterior enamel. Both this and the spar varnish have excellent rain resistance.

SUNDAY DINNER SUGGESTIONS By ANN PAGE KE season is advancing su rapidly that every locality is beginning to have its own early spring produce. Beginning with the first dandelion greens, rhubarb, asparagus, spinach, radishes and young onions follow each other in rapid succession until summer is in full swing. Fruits are plentiful. Though the season is closing on grapefruit, can- taloupe are arriving to replace them, May ie the month for pineapples and strawberries and they both make de- licious preserves.
