No. 2 Hunter Pscking Co. of East St. Louis, 11, told the House Agricultural Com- mittee today that the producer would bear the cost of applying the domestic sllotment farm relief plan to hogs. “Any processing charge will be re- flected in lower prices to the producers.” Hunter testifled. “He will bear the cost of this law which will interrupt the orderly marketing of hogs without ben- efiting the producer.” Hunter was the first spokesman for the packing industry to testify on the relief plan presented by organized farm groups. Already. representatives of ths wfliing and textile industries have op- ed the plan, which would pay a nefit to producers of wheat and cot- ton phaseg of the plan which calls for #n adjustment fund to be raised through processing taxes. “I view the entire proposition as an exorbitant tax on food,” Huntcr said. “The theory that these processing oharges can be pissed on to the con- sumer is economically unsound. “Under the present state of the pub- lic's purchasing power prices cannot be i i | S0n ...

By the Associated Press CHICAGO, December 19.—The hood- lums are being frozen out of Chicago. Thet's what Mayor Anton J. Cermak claimed today, and he made it plain it wisn't the frigid weather that is| doing it, either. With 576 errests over the week end in his recent order to clean up Chi- cago, Cermak praised the police. And as for the Capone syndicate, the mayor said pre-Christmas business in the beer racket had been nothing short of stopped. G2mbling resorts also have been effectively cut off, he said. Since the mayor ordered his big of- fensive last Tuesday the police claimed to have closcd 126 places up to today and sald 6.000 others shut down of their own accord. Cermak said he was going to make Chicago safe for legal beer when and if Congress votes it. DEAD AR CO&PS OFFICER Constance L M. irginia K. Patte son Elizabeth A. Rand dolph Witliams Op) irginia K.

He re- turned to his home, took up his pre- war work, then married. His work be- came difficult for him and the respon- | sibility of his family with his inadequate | income broke him mentally and phys- ically. Through the close contact of the nurse and a welfare agency, the case was turned over to the agency for care. The case worker had the wife and chil- dren examined for signs of this dreaded | disease. It was learned that ont of the children was badly affected. Provision for sending the father and child to a | hospital was made. A promise to care for the family was extended by the worker and the father went away re- lieved mentally. The mother is tired and worried and her burden is doubled because she is | obliged to carry on alone. Her sole con- fidant is the case worker on whom she depends entirely for advice and counsel.

With a wife who was do- ing her part in wise expenditure of his earnings and caring for the home and baby, the husband was realizing for the first time in his life what a real home meant. He was determined that his | children should not suffer the effects of a broken home as he had in his boy- hood. Then one day while at work, he was injured by a truck and it was necessary for him to spend many months in the hospital. Although finally pronounced cured the injury has not healed and it will be months before he is able to be self-supporting again. Efforts are being made to obtain re- newed workmen’s compensation to which the man seems entitled. Meantime, a charitable agency is taking full care of the family, which will soon be increased by the advent of a new baby. Although little can be done to lessen his physical pain, financial support will give Mr. James the mental security which he needs for recovery. To this end $208 is needed for the next three months until other adjustments can be made. Opportunity No. 20. Working Against Heavy Odds. Amount sought—$832 Recelved today .............

LOUIS, Mo. (#).—An crime teacher” for every grade school, to impress upon growing children the futility of lawlecsness and dishonesty, is urged by Circuit Attorney Franklin Miller of St. Lous. Some such plan is made imperative, in his opinion, by the increasing part played by youth in criminal activities. He cited three-year records of his office, showing that 64 per cent of those con- victed of felonies were between the ages of 17 and 27, while 33 per cent were under 21. Violence Crimes Lead. Miller also pointed out that crimes of violence now predominate, whereas 15 years ago a majority of those brought into court were charged with furtive crimes, such as forgery or larceny. While Miller suggested that the best place to begin “anti-crime” education is in the home, he expressed the opin- ion that “loosening of home ties” had contributed much to the present prob- lem of youth and crime. Every adolescent schoolboy, under Miller’s plan, would be told “in plain English” as part of his formal class- room study, just what constitutes such crimes as robbery and murder, and what the consequences are. Points Would Be Stressed. The factor of family and_ personal disgrace would be stressed. along with the oft-repeated maxim that “erime doesn't pay.’ “We have fine buildings. teachers and textbooks,” Miller saic, “but we do not teach our children what a criminal ts, and what it means to be a criminal. “Some persons, perhaps, think it is | wrong to talk to pupils about crime— | The result is that one of the most important phases | in human relationship is left un- | touched.” | $5.00 came to America many years ago, found a job almost immediately and worked | steagjly Marrying a thrifty woman, | the two worked together, fixed up a Long a cripple confined to a wheel chair, he had almost given up hope of ever being_able to do anything for his family.

A physical examination of the mother | and children showed that Mrs. Thomas | must go to the Tuberculosis Hospital | and four of the six children were found te have tuberculosis of the juvenile type. The task before the social worker is | now to restore the courage and hope of | the man and to assure Mrs. Thomas that while she is in the hospital the | children will be provided for. An older | daughter, herself now out of employ- ment, is taking the mother’s place in the home and giving excellent care to ! her younger brothers and sisters. Money is needed for rent, milk and other | nourishing food, medical supplies in- cluding cod liver oil, carfare for five | ! people to and from the Public Health | Clinic and incidentals. A minimum | budget to restore this family to hope | and health is $21 a week, or at least | $546 for the next six months or until Mr. Thomas can recover his strength so that if there is no job he can apply for work relief to the Emergency Bureau of the Board of Public Welfare.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. ().—Alabama Baptists have turned back to the days of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob for ways | and means of supporting their churches. | The old idea of paying farm products ,mw the church treasury has been | adopted as an outgrowth of economic | conditions, but a modern twist has been given the pian to be executed here. Ministers, church executives and their | families wil Dot be expected to eat the vegetables, becontributed. > o °88 that will Market Day Established. A Baptist curb market has been esignated and all products will be placed on display and offered for sale. Church members contributing will be given credit for the amount of money received for their products. The sale will be held Wednesday. + Already rural members of the Mont- | gomery Baptist Association are bring- w“anti- | DG their gifts to the market place. | The first products to arrive were two bales of cotton; grown by the congre- gation of Bethel Church in Dallas County, for church purposes. Word has gone out thit any farm products will be received as donations for the curb market sale. In addition | to cotton, canned fruits, chickens, eggs. calves and pigs, home-ground corn meal !and garden products have been re- | ceived. | " The plan originated with farmers, who sent a delegation to inquire of the | association if they could pay their pledges in farm products. These farm- ers said they found it hard to pay ! their dues in cash and, unless the | produce were accepted, probably would | not be able to contribute at all to needs of the church. State Agent Aids. Besides church officials, Helen John- | son, State home demonstration agent., | has co-operated in arranging for the sale, giving advice on arrangement of | the products to best advantage for at- tracting buyers. Several similar projects have been | undertaken by Soutnern churches, working as a unit, or by individual | members, but usually the grower sold his own product and turned the pro- ceeds over to the church. the success of a plan known as “God's acres,” under which farmer members of the church agreed to grow an acre | of some farm commodity exclusively for | church purposes. | " Presbyterians at Anderson, S. C.. | sponsored a “My Church Acre” plan | this year, from which resulted many | contributions of farm products which were auctioned by the pastor. Clemson College officials and the county farm agent co-operated. USE BURROS AT POLO “Rocky Mountain Canaries” Intro- duced to Fast Game. LORDSBURG, N. Mex.
