The President
Lauds Housing
Gain in Nation
Program One That Will Lend Aid
to Prosperity by Providing Over
a Million. Jobs.
Agricultural
Bureau to Need
any Millions
Trcsident Franklin D. Roosevelt at
Washington Thursday termed the
housing program a clear and definite
way back to recovery and prosperity.
In a letter to Housing Administra
tor James A. Moffett, the president
congratulated him on pledges for 1,
100,000 jobs and on modernization
and repair of homes estimated to in
volve 275 million dollars. Mr. Roose
velt spoke hopefully of further pro
grcs with the advent of spring.
Moftett Thursday mailed the presi
dential letter to the 6,356 commun
ity chairmen of better housing com
mittees organized throughout the na
tion. The text of the president's letter
said:
"This will acknowledge your en
couraging memorandum on the oper
ation of the national housing act.
Seven Months' Benefits.
"I wish to express, through you,
my g;.xtification to the chairmen and
members of the community better
housing campaign committees thru
out the country because of the results
they have accomplished in less than
seven months of activity in calling
to the attention of property owners
the benefits to be derived under the
national housing act in moderniz
ation and repair and also in con
struction of new homes.
"I am particularly impressed with
your statement that 6,174 commun
ities have selected chairmen cf their
better housing committees, and that
between 250 thousand and 300 thou
sand volunteer workers arc parti
cipating, through these committees,
in the work of acquainting property
owr.ors with the uses they can make
of the housing act. It is good to
know also that the better housing
committees now have a population
coverage of approximately 70 million
and that 2,100 cf these cities and
towns are conducting house-to-house
canvasses in which thousands of can
vassers, in addition to the committee
groups, are carrying on this work.
' I note that to date calls have
been made on over six million proper
ties, and that the property owners
have pledged 1,100,000 jobs for mod
ernization and repair for a total value
of 275 million dollars, and that, in
addition, you estimate there has al
ready been spent since last August
approximately 250 million dollars for
modernization and repair.
"As you point out, with the con
tinued active co-operation of our
civic minded committees, house-to-hous
canvasses will be conducted by
practically every community cam
paign committee, with many millions
of home owners and business prop
erty owners yet to be contacted. This
activity means that, with the advent
of -spring, an immense volume of
business and employment will un
doubtedly be generated. In other
words, the American people will
cnu.i ceu ihat the Lousing act pro
vide. for "the . nation a way back to
recovery and prosperity.
EE-ELECXED AS TEACHER
Miss Marjorie Arn, who has been
teaching in the Alvo schools for the
past year, was re-elected at the meet
ing of. the board of education there
this week. LIi3s Arn has been very
successful in her vcrk and the many
friends will be pleased to learn that
her services have been recognized in
her selection for another term in the

Miss Arn is a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Vernon T. Arn cf this city and
a graduate of the Tlattsmouth high
school and also of the State Teacher's
college at Feru.
Appropriation Bill for Agricultural
Department "Will Reach Fig
ure of $700,000,000.
The department of agriculture and
the AAA will spend $700,000,000
during the fiscal year beginning July
1, it was indicated "as the depart
ment's appropriation bill was report
ed to the house of representatives at
Washington.
The bill itself carried $122,113,87S
for regular activities of the department.
In addition, the appropriations
committee estimated $578,452,596
would be spent from automatic appro
priations which it was not necessary
to carry in the bill. Virtually all
this amount will go for AAA bene
fits. The AAA has automatic authority
to spend the proceeds of processing
taxes, which it was estimated would
yield $570,000,000 in the next fiscal
year. Processing taxes for the cur
rent year were placed at $S20,534,
302. Road construction costing $148,
000,900, which would put thousands
of men to work, was provided. for in
the bill. It carried $48,559,256 for
federal aid highways requiring
matching funds from states. In addi
tion it allocated $100,000,000 from
the pending relief bill for emergency
highway construction.
Over Bidget Estimate.
The amount recommended for the
department for 193 6 was $205,078,
298 under the 1935 fiscal year appro
priation and $308,304 above the bud
get estimate. The decreased appro
priation total was due to non-recurring
items for the AAA and a cut in
public roads funds of $61,970,743.
Additional public roads funds will
probably be carried in a public con
struction bill.
The bill provided for reorganiza
tion of the hurricane warning serv
ice of the weather bureau and de
velopment of aerial weather report
ing for airlines. A total of $3,529,
204 was carried for the weather bu
reau, $396,912 more than last year.
For enforcement of the food and
drug act the bill carried $1,515,879,
or a $354,402 increase.
Prevision was made for further re
search into cotton development thru
an appropriation of $406,435.
Other major items: Extension
service, $4,974,754; bureau of ani
mal industry, $11,29S,419, including
$5,3C5,135 for meat inspection; bu
reau of plant industry, $4,958,497;
forest service, $11,460,676; bureau
of chemistry and soils, $1,229,434;
bureau of entomology and plant quar
antine. $7,778,921. including $2.-
500,000 for chinch bug control; bu
reau of biological survey, $1,195,
184; bureau of agricultural eco
nomics, $5,724,801; forest roads and
trails, $7,082,600.
Parmer Needs Larger Share.
Secretary Wallace believes the
farmers share cf the national in
come, now about 10.2 percent,
should be 13 to 16 percent, tran
scripts of testimony before the house
appropriation committee revealed
Thursday.
First, he said, the "historic rela
tionship" of a 13 to 14 percent share
should bo restored and thereafter
agriculture's contribution should be
that "which will bring about a con
tinuing state of balance and not dis
tore the judgment of the people as
to eventual markets."
When the farmers' Ehare was 18
percont, they competed with each
other for ownership of the land and
imagined a- market for the yield cf
some 70,000,000 acres, a market
"which ultimately was proved not to
exist." he said.

Mother Very Poorly
R. M. Ccatman and wife and the
little girls were in Weeping Water
last Sunday, where they were visiting
with the parents of Mr. Coatman.
The mother, Mrs. William Coat
man, has been very ill for some time,
and has been confined to her bed ever
since she suffered a stroke some
months ago. Everything possible ha3
been done fcr the p3tient, but she
continues in a serious condition, be
ing unable to take the required nour
ishment and as a result not holding
up in strength.
Announcers Sometimes Do That
Don Davis, who was scheduled to
sing from station KFOR last Sunday,
was sick with the flu and unable to
get out of his bed, let alone make a
trip to Lincoln to appear before the
microphone. However, someone did
sing at that time and it was an
nounced that it was Donald Johnson,
of Alvo. No one here knows of any
Donald Johnson in this vicinity, so
it is quite clear that a mistake was
made by the announcer. The song
was "Blue Moon" and whoever sang
it, received much applause from the
studio audience and then came the
announlement that it was "Donald
Johnson, of Alvo." Many wonder
just who the cinger was.
