We are proud that we have a few good people who are wot afraid to speak the truth; afraid they will lose a little business or a vote. I am glad the truth is coming to light. Tf the honest-to-goodness citizens of Transylvania county, who are in terested in the welfare of the peo ple a3 a whole would take the stand Mrs. Gravely has in regard to find ing out just where to lay the blame for the rotten selfishness and bad management that has been used in the CWA works our people would be more comfortable. The result is: Thousands of dol lars have been spent here and only a few of the chosen ones have had i a taste. We are not prejudiced I against the men that were chosen; I we are glad to see people prosper but why hasn’t this money that has been given for the benefit of the needy and unemployed been divided up a» in other places, sc everyone could have a crumb from Uncle Sam’s table? The last round-up finds numbers of people with families with little children hungry and coM. I heard two widow women say they had beg ged for sewing arid one said she had no food in her house and she was refused work, by saying, "Ns vacancies. Take a tater and wait.” There are around 35 women em ployed in four sewing rooms in t’’ town and county. The same ones a •» working now that were put on i:i the beginning. If it had been man aged as intended a new shift every two or four weeks a total of from onto to two hundred women would have been employed on this project, who are as badly in. need as the 35 that are getting it all. The $ame tiling applies to the men on the road and other project*. When they are chosen they stick as though they had been elected to an office, Wonder why the other poor fellow can’t get a chance? Yes, we know it would take a little longer and somewhat harder work for the office force to get these shifts work ed out. But as there are eight and sometimes nine in the two offices, |I believe it could have been done and no sleep lost either.' Wonder what secretary Ickes would say if he knew some of our men who are bolding political offices, have a big i (Contintud on !
