MISS RUTH UNNEY^,
DISCUSSES RELIEF
^—__ -
Editor Journal Patriot:
It goes witiiout saying that ^
body is mom in agreoaaent with
the editor A this paper and with
Barry L. fiopkins in ^e belief
that loafers and the well-to-do
ought to be weeded out of the re
lief lists than I 'am. If that h^
been done a long time ago, it
would (1) have averted much dis
tress among the really needy and
speeded the end of the depression;
'(2) prevented vast, needless ex
penditures of the taxpayers’ mon
ey; (3) averted much partly un-
dcserv^ criticism of the govern
ment; and (4), incidentally, kept
me from writing many reams!
I am sure I have written more
fbitti anyone else in North Caro
lina about the grabbing of relief
by those who did not need it. And
I am still more sure that I have
been more persecuted l»y the re
lief families and others—and more
unjustly—for my views. I think
my criticism should hare borne
Mr. C. L. Hartley and daugh-Nmore of the stamp of truth than

In this community for sometime.
The Parks and Yost Subordi
nate Granges of Rowan county,
_;aear Salisbury, gave a very tnter-
'soting program to tho local
.grunge at the school building last
Friday night. There were 17
In the troupe and all seemed to
most people’s, because (1) I am
much poorer than the average
person on the relief lists and,
hence, kno-rf families with little
means can live comfortably with
out relief: (2) I never tried to
obtain relief and wouldn’t have it
on the proverbial “Christmas
tree", or be caught dead in the
woods with it: (3) I’ve been called
snjoy their performance. The lo- j the most vehement Democrat in
eal order has its regular meeting I Antioch township and am not, like
Friday night of this week and the I many critics, a Republican consti-
Juveniles also meet at the same

Miss Ada Horton, Misses Ida,
Cora and Clara Greer, of Grandin,
were visitors among friends in
this community Monday.
Mr. W. F. Osborne and Mr. P.
C. Collins, of Sparta, were here
on business this week. Mr. Col-
tutionally and unreasonably op
posed to every act of this admin
istration—though not opposed to

lies, particularly of those in the
rural districts, is intimate enough
to cause considerable discomfiture

rience, I know that, except for
losing money in bank failures,
poor people often fared better*
under the depression, and without
relief, than they had ever fared,
because their little money would
go so much farther.- Now it is
hard for them to live under the
higher prices, because farm prod
ucts, though higher, have not in
creased in proportion.

Refreshing Relief
When You Need a Laxative
Because of the refreshing relief It
has brought them, thousands of men
and women, who could
afford much more ex
pensive laxatives, use
.Black-Draught when
needed. It Is very eco
nomical, purely vegeta
ble, highly effective... Mr. J. Lester
' Roberson, well known hardware
dealer at Martinsville, Va.^ writes;
*1 certainly can recommend Black-
Draught as a splendid medicine. I
have taken It for const^iatlan and
the dull feelings that follow, and
. bare found It very satisfactory.”
BLACK-DRAUGHT
IS
even more difficult ,since )times
are a little better. Does that look
much like people were hungry, or'
' wanted work in private industry ?
As the Durham Sun said. “Straw
berries in Eastern North Carolina
rotted for lack of pickers. Un
employed on relief rolls had rath
er not labor. They preferred to
toiy not, neither to spin.” i
It is true that some rare fain.i-
lies were noticeably, and deserv'e.’-:
ly, benefited by relief. Some of
those most blamed, by other relic: ^
cases, for receiving direct relief
and reUef work, labored even
harder on the farm than they havl
before. They were more able to
work. Though never starving,
they had more to eat and more to
wear while working. It is easy
to credit the relief officials, gen
erally so wilfully blind and so
lachrymosely over - sympathetic,
with those good intentions which
are said to pave hell. Relief did

should havs vsstsd few over
the families likslynto be put off
relief since the WPA has got nn-
dsr way. Admlniatratora and
ease workers 'sseiued to bs careful
to deprive ahyoiis Vho was really
poor and of'good diaractor bf help^
of help in the^first place. And of
those who ore actually on rdlef
the majority, perhaps tworthinls,
have no more need of it a
wagon for the proverbial five
wheels. I have known the relief
office to seem willing to allow
very elderly, cultured, and alinost
amusingly unworthy and saintdike
aristocratic ladies to freeze to
death and starve to death—even
though the father of these old
ladies gave bread and com to
nearly the whole of Wilkes coun
ty, at least along the Yadkin, in
1881, or whenever it was that this
county was visited by the historic
drought of fifty-odd years ago.
(I don’t mean myself. I have
never needed relief, . as well ns
never wanting it. And I don’t
even consider around 29 or 30 ex
actly dead vrith old age, though
most people do. These ladies
were In the seventies and one
maybe 80). But, no doubt, the
so earnest and virtuous ERA ad
ministrators would have liked to
care for such indigent and worthy
souls—if it had not taken all the
funds to pay wealthy-society-
women-case-workers, and others ^
who had given up good teaching
jobs to become case-workers!
Though I bear no relief family
any ill-will, and never have, and
though I have given them many
times more than I could aford,
there won’t be anybody any hap
pier In the United States than I,
if, as they say, direct relief ceases
in November and everybody goes
to work. Even when graft and
fraud is pra|fised in obtaining
work, I think it is better than
the dole. I have always wonder
ed, though, why so many jobs had
to be created by the credulous
Mr. U. Sam for men who had nev
er had any regular work, except
overseeing their broad planta
tions. and had never wanted any.
It was strange that so many jobs
had to be tium^ed up in offices
and everywhere for the younger
and pseudo-educated people, who
already had jobs or we."e support
ed by wealthy relat'ives. ERE
teaching, for instance, is noble,
hard, and poorly paid work. Yet.
though r am penniless an(f de
pendent on my own toil. I am
heartily ashamed of teaching part
of two weeks, and I probably de
serve retribution in the shape of
the dress I bought with mly
$8.70—a dress guaranteed to fade
with every ray of sun or breath of
air. I don’t see why so many
teachers who are so well-to-do,
and often have such low certifi
cates, have to teach relief classes
on “Toosday” evening, as they
say, and on every other evening.

Concord Woman Recovering
From Caterpillar Bite
Concord, Aug. 26—Bitten late
Friday by an insect identified as
the poisonous “puss caterpillar,”
Mrs. Everett G. Cook, well known
Concord woman, was reported to
day to be resting more comfort
ably. Her condition had been re
garded as serious until last night.
Mrs. Cook was seated on the
•'vont porch of her home when
•s^ie felt a stinging sensation In
her left arm. She found an insect
on her arm and knocked it to the
rioor, but thought no more about
the incident until later when she
became violently 111. Physicians
identified the broad, flat insect.
The bite of the “puss caterpil
lar’’ is said to be almost as
poisonous as that of the rattle
snake, but improvement in Mrs.
Cook’s condition today indicated
that she will recover.
