In spite of our depleted forests there is meyer, any shortage of tinibér for new Federal bureaus. One of the boldest metaphors in poe- try was coined by Milton: “The sun to me is dark, and silent is the moon.” We have a constitutional right to the pursuit of happiness, but no guarantee | that we shall ever catch up with it. The reason why a fly is not swatted so easily is that it has five eyes. Yet a spider meaner to sneak up on it and nab it for | The postal service always seems more efficient around the first of the month, when no envelope containing a bill ever gets astray. Smoking is said to have originally started among the Indians of South Amer- ica as a religious rite. Well, lots of smok- ers still smoke religiously. We read of a young lady who “gave up her job in the soup works to study home And probably found it an effective measure of economy to eat plenty of soup. economic STANDARDS OF LIVING AND THE CWA (Tallahassee Democrat) When the NRA, the CWA and other | into | angles of the new deal put operation in the South, many of our lead- ers went to Washington and advised the authorities there that wage scales were above the normal for this section of the were country and could be result in a disturb- ance of conditions. The truth of their prediction is now being made apparent. So long as the federal government was willing to pay unskilled labor higher wages than normally paid in this section for that class of work, everything went | along fine. But now that CWA rolls are being trimmed there are many evidences In theory, revived industry was sup- | posed to absorb the labor as the CWA with- | | drew. This theory might work out in the industrial centers but there are few in- dustries in this part of the country and| practically none which turn out high priced | | manufactured articles. Rough unskilled work in woods and mines, harvesting timber, nayal stores and farming in the deep south cannot pay high wages. The returns are not sufficient to justify the overhead. There are but two | things to be done: pay low wages and carry | on the work; or shut down. The same thing is true of house work. Negro servants may work at what would | be regarded as low wages in the north, or | if wages are increased, most of them will | not work at all. The average householder in this part of the country cannot pay more than a few dollars a week. H There is no question but that there is | an excess of labor. Something must be found to occupy the time of the labor and} the situation has been met by employing | many servants and laborers at small wages. Many rural negroes work a few days now and then and increase their food sup- plies by fishing. Some of them have not seen as much as $12 in a month in their j lives. When such persons are suddenly given high wages for short time employ- ment under the NRA they become adapted to the idea. They splurge their new wealth on various novelties and in skin games and crap shooting. When the wages are withdrawn, they are not satisfied to go back to their old way of living under the old wage scales. It is reported that many have refused employment on farms and in naval stores work because the wages offered are not as high as the CWA paid. Some prefer to re- main in idleness rather than accept the lower scale. There is no apparent solution to this problem. The national administration is responsible for the condition but the citi- zenship of the south must deal with the situation now. The federal government is not assuming the responsibility. HOT DOG KI Gregory J. Deck of Buffaio was poor but ambitious, when at the age of 18 he determined to have a college education. But hot dogs blocked his way. Casting about for some means of earn- ing his way through college, Deck tried running a Hot dot stahd* met “success be- yond his fondest expectations. Business was so .good that he could not take time to go to school. Soon he opened additional | stands, all of which prospered. Later he bought out six competitors | and now has what virtually amounts to a | “hot dog trust” in his home city, with aj} warehouse, a bakery, a butcher shop, a fleet of 12 trucks and 16 hot dog eecant His annual turnover is more than $500,- | 000 and he draws from his business a| salary equal to that of the President of the United States. But it looks as though he will have to} worry along without a college degree. Still ! | | he holds a very desirable, if not dignified, | 3 title.
