S HULLS MILLS MAN RAPS SELECTIONS OF LOCAL BOARD Editor Watauga Democrat: 'Twas a terrific shock to me Friday when I witnessed the departure , of a school bus loaded with recruits to the President's Reforestation, Corps, for in that vehicle were several fellows who. strange as it might seem, came from Boone's most prominent families,?young men who have never been depended on for one mouthful of the food they ate. These boys, as I understand it, are to send $25 per month back to their parents^ to help keep the wolf'' from their 1 family doors. Ill my utjiixiiiuiivty til ere arc several young men "who applied for these jobs?boys whose families have been vn corn-bred ration far ths ; but r-~. they vere turned down ilatly at the local welfare office, ancl scions were picked from Boone's aris tocracy to go to reforestation camps in Western North Carolina. It is my oelief that the money they earn during the next six months will be sent back holm- to he saved for amusement and foolish purchases when the boys get back. Of course there were a few of the ? boys who actually deserved the jobs, and I am sure that the money they J send home can be used to good advantage by their destitute families, but why, in the name of the J^ord, didn't the local welfare office confine its selections to poverty-ridden people? Why didn't they send men who had been on .charity during the past j winter? Why didn't they pick a few men in Boone Township, outside the , Town of Boone? And, finally, why didn't they co-operate with the President in a work which was destined to rid the public of a great many total dependents in this section? Will someone kindly answer? 1 have a great deal of faith in the PrwsirtAnf tirid hplipvp that hp is do ing everything in his power to re- j I store the country to a healthy ecoi nomic condition, but I emphatically 3tate that so long as relief matters are handled in the biased, unfair man, ner which exists here, many of his weil-directed plans will come to naught. However, I am sure that there have been a host of things misrepresented to the welfare workers, and it is the duty of the citizens to co-operate instead of trying to get everything for themselves. ?B.
