Hopkins Forecasts
Old-Age Pensions
Kansas City—Harry L. Hopkins.
Federal Relief Administrator,
looked into the future here recent
ly and forecast a socity that would
ore for its unfortunate with old
age pensions, state responsibility or j
public health, widows’ pensions, j
unemployment insurafljce and pro
per utilization of land.
The relief chief addressed a din
ner of the American Public Wel
fare Association at the National
Conference of Social Work after a
dav spent in receiving delegations
from drought stricken western
states and arranging for grants of
funds to care for their emergen
gies.
Mrr. Hopkins expressed himself
forcibly opposed to any unemploy
ment insurance of the dole type
for those who could reconstruct
'hemselves. For the unemployed
he would have an eight to 16 week
period of cash benefits; then a six,
months not competing with pri
vate industry and "at the end of
that time if a family has not be
come readjusted, barring a nation
al emergency, it must give way to
another and go on the relief rolls.
On the farm pioblem he said:
"This business of controlled
crops does not solve the farm
problem. It is only for an emer
gency. The slums of the large
cues are nothing compared to
the farm slums of America. There
is no reason why a housing pro
gram in America should not give
to the farmer the kind of house he
desires. There is no reason or
•vhv farmers should not have elcc
tricity and modern improvements.
But you say tney aiw^o ..— --
without"them so why do anything
-ov Or that they can go to the
■ ries for good schools and movies
But why should they? There is
. reason why society cannot be
■ wanned so that the great recrea
: >nal and cultural benefits is cities
t, -i be taken to rural America
Old age pensions, he said would
e "financed through taxes—local,
state and probably federal. e?
would be distributed "on the basis
of need.’
Mrs. V. C. Niblock and Mr.
George Niblock stopped a few

Refreshing Relief of
Constipation Troubles
Constipation produces many dis
agreeable sensations, several of
which are mentioned by Mr. T. E.
Stith, of Boonville, Ind., who
writes: “I have used Thedford’s
Black-Draught many years when
needed for biliousness and Other
minor ills when a laxative was
needed. I have a tight feeling in
my chest when I get bilious. I get
dizzy and feel very tired, Just don’t
leel like doing my work. After
taking Black-Draught, I feel much
better. This is why I continue to
use it when needed.” . . . Thed

SHIPS BECOME BEACH-MINDED

. ' the smart pastime, a ship to be
chic must have a beach—or even
two, or three. These beaches with
Uieir umbrella-topped tables, bright
bued beach cushions and spacious
tiled swimming pools are one of the
mo6t attractive features of modern
liners—particularly when they are
the setting for such a gay scene as
this one photographed on the new
Grace Liner Santa Elena.
Seagoing swimming pools and
‘Lido” beaches are growing biggei
and better as each new ship make
her bow. Those of this ship and h>

The pool, unusually large and
built of sea-green tile is fed with a
constant flow of salt water from the
ocean and has fresh water showers
conveniently near. At night it us
illuminated with overhead lights
and underwater flood lights. The
surrounding deck is dressed up in

Louisiana Bill Would
Make Every Man King
_ f
Baton Rouge, La.—We’ll all be
kings or queens in Louisiana, with
crowns, castles and green pajamas,
if the -legislature passes Represen
tative Rupert Peyton’s bill.
Our castles will cost $90,000 a
piece, and each of us will have a
hotel suite at our disposal. Our
Majesties will get $5 0,000 a year
apiece for doing nothing, and have
jail the rights, titles and privileges:
that go with out rank. - , j
Kings may choose between
queens and harems. Will Street
will pay a tax of $10,000 a square
foot, and the "sacred Standard Oik
Company” shall be assessed $10,-.
000,000 a year for our upkeep.
It’s just in fun. Representative
Peytorj doesn’t like Senator Huey
P. Long, who runs Louisinana poll-:
tics, who once won fame by re-;
ceiving a German admiral in green ^
pajamas, who has a hotel suite,:
and who wrote a book entitled |
"Every Man A King.” j
The Pey*on bill would not be
come effective, anyhow, until Sen
ator Long’s "share the the wealth”
program goes into effect, and Long
says that when this is' accomplish
ed. "every man will be a ting al
ready.

family: subscribe to the Carolina

Manual Skill
Provides Real
Entertainment
Simple amusements through the
development of manual skill are
of as much importance to the
human race as preventative medi
cine and even the food we eat in
the opinion of Anna Roosvelt Dali,
daughter of President Franklin D.
Roosevelt.
She makes this assertion in .an
article appearing in the May issue
of "The Guildsman”, official ma
gazine of the Fisher Body Crafts
man’s Guild. The message was in
spired by an exhibition of model
Napoleonic coaches that have won
university scholarships for their
builders in the annual competitions
sponsored by the educational foun
dation.
"As I watch young people en
gaged in making creative things
with their hands, I am always im
pressed with the actual fun they
get,” she declares. "The fun is
not confined to the process of
making these objects, but is am
plified by the sense of accom
plishment any one experiences when
he has completed some self-ap
pointed task.
"In my opinion, fun is as im
portant for all of us as the more
pedatic vitamins, calories, and in
noculations about which me have
become so serious.
"Handicrafts of all kinds are a
wonderful balance for children in
this age of rush and excitement.
A person who cannot sit still for
10 minutes under any pretext has
little chance to develop the neces
sary qualities of concentration and
inner resourcefulness which con
tribute to a successful adult life.”
Mrs. Dali speaks with regret
concerning the fact that such large
proportion of the adult population
is unable to obtain the satisfaction,
of constructing things with their
own hands, due to a lack of in
struction in, the various forms of
.craftsmanship.
"It’s fascinating to note the
'growth of handicraft in the school
| curriculum today,” she states.
[So many of my generation of chil
'dren, who didn’t have a rijatural
talent for some form of handi
craft. never had the satisfaction
I of creating things with their own
hands and minds.
i "Who can tell—with the ex
pension and stressing of handi
crafts in our schools and homes,
maybe the neutrologists of the
next generation won’t have a
'chance to come into their own. ’
The magazine also contains a
message from Daifiel Carter
Beard, honorary president of the
Fisher Body Craftsman’ss Guild
and national Boy Scout commis
sioner.
Old idea was eight hours for work
eight for sleep and eight for recre
tion. Now it seems to be six hours
for work', six hour's for sleep, six
for sports, and six for eating and
drinking.
The modern world is opposed to
dishonesty when it doesn’t pay.

THEY DON’T APOLOGIZE
Apologies have i^o place in the
conversation of the New Hamp
hire 4-H girl when she entertains
visitors or friends at tea of other
occasions. She doesn’t make them
becauses he knows she doesn’t have
o. These are among the valuable
things she learns in her training,
acording to the annual report on
jclub work for that state. And
jwhat a happiness this confidence
brings her.
j What a relief it must be to these
girls’ mothers not to have to an
| wer questions over and over as to
[where this or that dish or article
belongs. How to set a table is one
of the first things the girls are
taught in their club work. Then
it seems to come naural to want to
know how to act at a properly set
table, so good manners come in for
a place in the training. Likewise
how to serve and eat a meal. And,
jthey don’t look on these .things as
j 'putting on airs”, because they
'learr» that there is a good reason
back of all the little niceties which
should be practiced at a table. j
| Along with these things the
girls learn how to select the foods
jto suit the needs of a family and [
!an occasion, then how to prepare
them and lastly to serve them.
How capable these girls are is shown
in the report on food conservation.
[They canned an average of 103:
quarts of vegetables, fruits and
meats, or sufficient to carry an av
erage family through most of thei
winter.
Besides this, 1760 girls reported
making 13,73 5 items of clothing
and a large number improved their
rooms through papering, painting,
changing the color scheme anid re
pairing and rearranging furniture.
iBaking, health and many other pro
jects engaged the attention of
many. Altogether the projects of
[these girls during the year was val
ued at over $20,000. New Hamp
shire will not need to worry about
its future homes and husbands with
such girls to engineer them.
