He also expressed his desire to guarantee jobs for the youth of the country. After posing, somewhat in the form of a question, the idea of keeping children in school and away from work until they are 18, and of placing a majority of those over 65 in a posi tion to retire, Mr. Roosevelt added this indirect appeal: “Industry can contribute in a great measure to the increase of employ ment if industry as a whole will un dertake reasonable reductions of hours per work week, while, at the same Recent Gift From M.

HomesWanted During: Summer For 20 Boys Of CM^pore School Prom Dr. MrfryM.-Sloop, business manager of Crossnore School, Inc., Crossnore, comes the following appeal for vacation adoption of the fourteen little boys who have no home: “Don't nobody want me?” That is what Crossnore’s little boys are asking every day. There are fourteen of them with no place to go. They have watch ed their pals go home and then turned to feel afresh the heartache of being homeless. They have looked over to the little girls’ dormitory and watched them dashing around with light feet hnd lighter hearts because “somebody had come for them!”—perfect strang lers, but that meant nothing. With that beautiful faith of childhood, they are willing to go where they are “wanted.” They know they cannot work. Folks are coming for them just because they “want” them, and again the little boys turn away and wonder why nobody wants them. Do you realize how much you might mean in thejife of one of these little men between five and eleven years of age? We know some boys that age are troublesome, but we keep such with us. We will lend you only our little men. They won’t be much trouble, and they will be • lots of pleasure and try to help. Vacation ends in July. Won’t you take one till then?
