A NEEDED REFORM IN RELIEF Abolish the “Grocery-Ticket Dole” and Give the Idle Cash—Welfare Workers Protest “Badge of Pauper.”

Why should not relief agencies give cash to the poor instead of grocery orders, coal orders, and the like? William H. MaVhews, director ot family welfare in the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, asks this question, and fails to find a reasonable answer. He points out that the people who come for relief these days are not spendthrifts or morons; merely folks crushed by the calamity of unemploymen, which they cannot resist. They are, he says, at least as intelligent as many of the relief agents. “By our grocery-ticket dole,’’ says Mr. Matthews, "our bags of coal, our bundles of clothing, our rent vouchers, we have taken from people the right to manage their own lives. In so doing, we have filled their hearts with shame and humiliation, we have hung Uj on ihem the badge of pauper, we have created bitterness, resentment and anger in the minds of a large part of the country’s citizenship, and some of its finest.” In most cases, as Matthews points out, cash will go farther than grocery orders, for people who have been forced to apply lor relief are the keenest of shoppers. When society, by whatever bungle or fault, has put self-respecting people in such a plight that they must ask for help, the least that society can do, in fairness, is to extend that help in the least offensive manner.—Labor.

where the ice hasn’t started to
crack up yet.
Admiral Byrd, on a tour of Inspection, had located several cracks behind us but we were too busy to worry. He worried, though, as he a-lways does about his men when I here Is danger around. He considers the breaking up of the bay ice a terribly serious problem. But we
toiled on undisturbed.
Pretty soon, from the bridge, we heard the Admiral yell through a megaphone to Lindley, “Hey, Bindley, you’re too close to the edge to work without a life line. Put one
. , on immediately.” This was Lindseen m a laige pond neai theie. As | e y' S lucky day.

for another wild run to Pres-
the four ominous blasts on that deep whistle on the Ruppert. It scared the wits out of us. This was the signal to oast loose ship and dash aboard. In other words, ill meant both we and the ship were in deadly danger and the ship was going away from there notmxiiately. Before we could move a muscle the ice started breaking up all around us and underneath us, with that awful grinding sound. The sharp eyes of Admiral Byrd and Commodore Gjertsen had spotted its beginning from the ship. Tremendous cracks appeared like magic on all sides of us. One opened up directly under Lindley and he went head over heels into it, out of sight and almost took George Arid me with him. With all our strength we hauled him out, like a huge fish, and in the excitement Noville gave him a good kick, for no good reason
at all.
On the piece of ice that was falling next to the ship were several packing boxes of precious supplies and ten big drums of priceless gasoline. These simply had to be rescued. The big boom swung out quickly over the side and almost buried us with the landing net. Working like mad we rolled the drums and boxes hurriedly into the net and it was jerked into the air and onto the broad steel deck of the Ruppert. Thank the Lord that’s not cracking up! On all sides men were scurrying about on the ice—some to dig out the buried steel hatch cov ers to which our mooring lines are attached and casting them off. others rushing to the makeshifl gang plank to the ship, made of telephone poles and more hatch covers. Up that gangplank we scampered madly and the men on board got busy hauling it in. Will you believe it, five minutes after that whistle went off, the ship was moving out to open water, just as the whole area where we had been working, hundreds of yards of it, tumbled into the ocean. Oh boy. some excitement! But we’re getting used to these sudden moves. Nothing happens slowly down here. Wonder If 1 shall ever be able to accustom myself to a peaceful life at home again. I certainly will for the first six months because I’ll sleep that long the minute I reach there. You should see us. Our nice white working suits are filthy black. So are we and the beards we are growing are comical to see. We haven’t had a real bath since we left New Zealand and the Ruppert, being an oil burner, has deposited on all of us a nice layer of sticky, oily soot i which no amount of cold cream seems to budge. If I ever get into a nice white tiled bathroom, with
We have no “kick” against the CWA management, but it does seem to us that if there had been fewer white-collar men watching the men who did all the work, the government might have provided two or three dozen hens ami a rooster to each poor family, so as to make them self-supporting. As it appears now, if the work shuts down, and no doubt it will, most of the workers will have to get their Easter eggs from the township
trustee.

won the world's record for packpedaling at Chicago. His record of about one hundred miles in fortythree minutes, with fourteen second out for rest, has never been equalled. Most men would rather be criticised by a man of wisdom than to be patted on the back and ap plauded by a fool.
