So More Relief
Because farmers could not per
suade men to scratch their names
off the relief roles to accept jobs
harvesting crops, administrators in
six agricultural .states took steps
this week to forcibly convince re
lief recipients that federal funds
may relieve them from poverty,
but they do not relieve them from
the obligation to accept jobs when
available.
South Dakota stopped work
on all work relief projects, thus
putting 19,000 men in positions
to accept harvesting jobs. Ne
braska, Kansas, Minnesota,
Iowa, and North Dakota have
ordered a part of their projects
abandoned. Authorities say no
more relief until the need for la

"We must train children to use

ture given July 19 in the former

A trip to the museum was made,
therefore, and this rare specimen
being formally pronounced a long
homed beetle, it became the mas
cot of the U. N. S. S. J. S. C. and Is
cherished in a befitting manner.
Mary Aileen Cochran, Council edi- ,

asked over at the museum if they .
might have the mascot to keep,
and we let them, but it's still our
mascot."
But to go back to the community

asks the director. Suggestions
come, at first uncertainly, then
eagerly. "The Man on the Flying
Trapeze" Is a popular choice and
among the other favorites aro
"Three Blind Mice," "Swance Riv
er," "Home on the Range," and
"The Old Spinning Wheel."
And so, with Mrs. Joyce Ayres
at the piano, the community sing
goes blithely on. There are special
numbers, too, for example, a vocal
quartette from the third grade.
