The} explosion of the battleship Maine, ; which occurred on the night of the ; 15th day of February, 1898, shows in our history two important} events. First: Sorrow for the loss] of lives; and, second, for it marked | the end of the Spanish sovereign- ty in America. That explosion} grasped precious lives of Amer-} ican sailors, but it was, without} doubt, the reason by which was/| written that immortal document called the “Joint Resolution,” in which President William McKin- | ley declared that the people of | Cuba should by right be and ought | to be free and independent.

Mr. Hiatt disclosed this at a meeting of District 10 Welfare Board which was attended by! State Senators and Representa-} tives and chairmen of boards of the district. Calculated on an annual basis, the savings that have been effect- | ed in operating expenditures will amount to $250,000 a year, he told the group. Mr. Hiatt expressed ap-| preciation to district boards and staffs for cooperation in helping the State Welfare Board carry out Gov. Spessard Holland’s economy program. He estimated further savings made possible by the elimination of the food stamp plan, distribu- tion of surplus commodities to families and individuals, and WPA ceptifications will make possible a-still further reduction that may | increase savings to 25 per cent. | Distributions of surplus com-| modities to families and individ-} uals will be discontinued April 1 but the commodity warehouses! will remain open to serve the school lunch program, which will be expanded as much as possible. By spreading last year’s race track returns over a_ two-year period, Commissioner Hiatt said the board is certain to carry on its \ program through May and possibly !

Revenues for aid to de-| pendent childrén failed to equal expectations, with the result that about 8,000 applications, involving 22,300 children are now pending, e said. It is estimated that elimination of the WPA will make nearly 2,000 persons eligible for welfare grants, Mr. Hiatt told the group, besides making |it necessary to place WPA workers who are. now | employed in the surplus commodi- ties and school lunch programs. Personnel problems are becom- ing inceasingly acute, the com- missioner reported. Because of low salaries paid by the welfare board, it has a tremendous turn- over of all classes of employees. | j | | PEOPLE'S FORUM | | | ENTERS COMPLAINT Editor, The Citizen.” a ~ Wouldyou kinaly el Qk. | Jong a peaceful kindhearted siti- | zen has’ to wait for justite.*** i I thought we were going to have | ja clean>and pretty city.
