The White Way will again be turned on next Saturday night—if local mer- il chants and progressive minded residents * contribute. The entire cost-of keeping the main thoroughfare lighted:on the all-im- * portant Saturday night is about eight dol- * lars. Divide that between thirty. or forty willing to contribute and each one’s share will be a few cents. Certainly, the White Way is worth that much! The Roosevelt family isa family of travelers. The boys of the president are ever on the go, the president himself is en tour, his wife vacationing, and his mother ie “somewhere in France.” Coming nearer home Florida’s chief executive flatters the nation’s chief by doing some tall gallivant- ing himself. Roosevelt and Sholtz should do a mileage marathon. In this, however, the president would win as he has a $25,- ))0 start on the governor.

A BIG TREE PROJECT Another large government project has been planned as a result of the disastrous , drought in the middle west. It is ‘no. less than that of planting a “shelter belt” of trees, 100 miles wide and 1,000 miles long, in an effort to counteract to some extent the destructive effects of western winds. During periods of extreme drought, destroy the fertility of the ground. Experi- ments on a small scale by government scientists lead them to believe that a wind- break such as is being planned will greatly reduce this soil erosing by winds and re- tard the evaporation of moisture cont the | ground, According to a map prepared by the Forest Service, this barrier of trees would be planted from the Canadian line, extend through the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, } Oklahoma and into northern Texas. The trees would be planted in belts 100 feet wide with a one-mile strip of farming land between belts, of which there would be 100, covering a total width of 100 miles. The project would require about 10 years in which to complete the planting. and the estimated cost of the experiment is | $75,000,000. The area to be planted ‘to trees would be about 2,000,000 ‘acres, | which Would be leased, rented or bought } , owing instructions prepared by the from its owners by the government: Forestry officials assert that the full effect of the proposed tree belt should be felt in} about 15 years. THE YOUTH PROBLEM From the earliest times it appears that the problem of directing young folks in the proper way has engaged the serious busy bodies, A book on etiquette published in 1850 gravely warns young women of the perils of the waltz and declares that ‘unmarried ladies should refrain from the waltz alto- gether, in public and in private.” It is as- sumed that married ladies were supposed to be immune to its demoralizing effects. Every once in a while someone digs up an old newspaper or magazine containing an article which throws light on this ten- dency to worry about the young people of the past.. The boys and girls of the present generation are causing consternation among the self-appointed guardians of morality. There is little reason, however, for be- lieving tnat the young folks of 1934 are any worse, morally or otherwise, than those of former times. Like others before them, they will probably grow up to worry about their own children and_ grand- children. THE BOSS (Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald) During these changing days when labcr is go- ing on the 40 hours week and men by the hun- dreds of thousands are going to have more leisure than they ever had before, it is well, perhaps, to give thought for a moment to the one who isn’t going to be quite so happy. We mean the boss. He’s the man that the national recovery ad- executive who is shorter He is exempt for the simple reason that he is going to work harder and longer hours and carry greater burdens than before. He’s the guy who must think up ways and means of changing his business methods to meet code conditions and still, if possible, keep out of the red. He’s the fel- low who has to dig up the newer and higher wage seale cash, so that the pay envelopes will still be available on Saturday night. ministration refers to as an exempt from the code provisions for the week. He’s the man who must answer “I will” to the President, and, in or- der to get that precious eagle emblem think and work and worry as never before, In some future day when, we all hope, his- and record it as the period of a new emancipation of the American people; when they will tell the story of a nation united to destroy dat ol’ debbil , Depression; when they will write of a leadership that was courageous and confident and determined, at that future day we hope the Prescotts and Gib- bonses of the eva will find time for at least a para- graph about the usually unsung, unhonored and unwept hero of it all—the boss. Just in case those future historians neglect their duty, we hasten to seize the opportunity here and now to cast a few bouquets and laurel wreaths at the fellow who is too busy to know or care about praise, who is only hoping he can scheme a way to make ends meet, while he devotes forty and twice forty hours a week to the process, nin Ge: cote ee ie CA tS, CONSE ' 7 i such as has been experienced this summer, | these winds carry away the top soil and | | Throwing a life buoy and line from x Bead United States has nearly 5,000 miles of seacoast, and in | addition chains of lakes and many sweeping rivers. Each year thou- { sands of swimmers and non-swim- mers flock to this water, seeking respite from the summer heat. And at the close of the vacation season a tragic annual toll of about 8,000 deaths from drowning is counted, due to ignorance and carelessness. All of this vast waterfront can be made almost accident-proof by fol- American Red Cross Life Saving Service, author of a gigantic safety program which already has cut down drowning accidents by a sub- stantial margin. Simple rules as set forth by the } Red Cross are as follows: In selecting‘a site for a camp— whether permanent or for the week- end—find one which will combine, if possible, deep water for proficient swimmers and shallow water for be- ginners. Have the beginners’ pool Py a | roped in-on three sides. attention of reformers and uplifters—and | Never go swimming alone. Find a “water buddy” to go with you. Solitary swimmers often lose their lives at beachfront and pool. The “buddy” system lessens the hazard of drowning by providing two voices to call for help, two pairs of eyes to watch for danger, and one swimmer to support the other in an emer- gency, such as cramps or sudden ex- haustion.

Fatal Accident: SS mighest a rowboat to rescue a drowning per- son; at right, a life guard bringing in an unconscious victim from the surf, using the “fireman’s carry.” it feet first to ascertain its depth and whether it is free from wreck- age. For diving, water should’ be at least six feet deep. Do not enter the water until two hours after eating—and thus avoid stomach cramps. When you try to beat your last summer's long distance record, be professional. Have a boat accompa- ny you. This is the practice of ex- perts. Train for a long swim. Don't ex- pect to swim a mile at the beginning of the season. Test your powers carefully, adding a little distance each day and when you begin to feel tired always come out of the water. If you are caught in an undertow do not Iose your head, even if you do lose your balance. The force of the water will bring you safely to the surface if you do not struggle against it. When your canoe tips over, hang on to it until someone comes to help you, or yon can paddle with it to shore. Remember that a canoe never sinks. It is the amateur canocist who leaves the overturned craft and strikes out for shore. The good ca- noeist hangs on because he knows that it will keep him afloat or that he can swim with it to a safe land- ing. Here is the expert method of res- cuing the drowning: Row a boat, throw a buoy, or go yourself and tow the victim to safety. If you are not trained in life never dive to the rescne of 2 p krow how | ou to land yourself. Double drownings, often happen when a fairly good) swimmer, not familiar with life sav- ing methods, plunges to the rescue j ofa drowning companion whom hi cannot possibly save, Drowning persons, unless théy } have become unconscious, always! } seek to grab their would-be rescuer } around the neck and try to climb up on him and out of the water. Unless the rescuer knows how to break ! these “death grips,” he is dragged ! below the surface. Life saving is a science. For every | hold a drowning person can obtain, | a “break” has been perfected by | means of which the rescuer can es- cape his grip. There are also a half | dozen different ways to tow a@ per- | son to shore. The Red Cross annu- | ally teaches thousands of persons | these methods of rescue. If possible, have one of these experts in your swimming party. See that your beaches and pools are protected by } life guards who have had this train- ! ing.
