ands of young graduates are now ready to tak-y their place tn the world. Youth is the greatest thing in life. Conditions of today do not seem (insurmountable by those who look to the future and have faith in themselves, their country • and people. It's what keeps the old world from going to rot or stopping. Yo i can't stop youth. The Roosevelt children seem to be in a frame of mind to cause their parents grief and unhappiness. Os course parents can’t live the lives of others and naturally sacrifice themselves for their children. The case of Mrs. Dall and her husband is probably an out- ■ growth of living in an unsettled I world today, with too much outI side attention by those anxious to mingle with the great and the younger folk unable to adjust them selves. Home ties are broken as a result. Sherman Minton, democratic nominee for United States senator, will be welcomed home by the townspeople qf New Albany at a city-wide gathering this evening. Mayor McLain, who was high school principal when Mr. Minton attended school, will deliver the principal address and plans call for an old fashioned Hoosier welcome for a native and distinguished son. Although residing in Indianapolis the past year and a half, Mr. Minton still maintains his home in New Albany and is just one of the boys down there. The following editorial was printed in last evening's issue of this paper. The name of the state was omitted and the impression was i given that it might have been Inj diana. The state is Michigan. All ; Indiana district schools operated last year and will be able to open next fall: “It was brought out in a recent congressional investigation that a great many of the rural school teachers in one of the richest counties in Michigan were receiving as low as ' 1270 a year. Not that the j teachers were not worth more money, but the districts were unable to provide the funds. A grant from the federal government is being sought as many of the district schools cannot operate at all. School teachers are entitled to living wages and it s a sorry state of affairs when counties or districts have to deprive children of elementary training, because of lack of money.’’ o . • * I The People’s Voice | I This column for the use of our , readers who wish to make sug- I gestions for the general good ' or discuss questions of inter- I est Please sign your name to j show authenticity.

I » — | Editor Democrat: We read about big financial mo- ■ guls getting it in the neck these days; about great corporations un- . able to pay dividends on their much watered stock and yet their officers drawing salaries from $50.- : 000 to 2100,000 per annum. We . read about an over capitalized industry feebly recovering and yet the main stay in industry is not making much progress — namely farming. j As long as industry expects dividends on the immense amount of water poured into manufacturing • concerns thus keeping high the > price of their product and farming I has not only al! the water out of k j its overhead but squeezed out under foot also, there will be such a | disparity between price and income that it seems hopeless for farming > to bridge the gap. • The two acts passed by congress should, if the “Security Act” has teeth, help some. Yet I doubt if it has gone far enough. Dividends should not be guaranteed in any stock concern by an RFC loan until the water has been evaporated. Here is something closer home. I read a letter the other day on unemployment relief in the county. It had some good points. Now I that part about furnishing work for those out of work is a real problem. If our civilization is any good it will not only see that no one is out of food but that no one is out of work all the time if able to work. We might just as well settle down to the fact that it is not an emergency any longer. It is not temporary. It is an established tact. Here is a suggestion that if c»r- --| ried out (otherwise than by the ’ office boy) will do the county con-

siderable good. Canada thistles are becoming a pest in this county, at least in some sections. Why not leave the task of eradicating them to the county and put on the job all those who are now or will be this winter on poor relief. If these thistles were cut off regularly each week they would not last long, and this job would last up until cold weather. Thus the men in i this county could have a job, get j their living, lay in their coal for winter and lie happy in working; and all o. k. d by their trustee, or whoever was designated. This looks alright in theory even if not put out by the brain trust. As for myself I am somewhat like my old namesake, that colonizer of Virginia. Captain John Smith, who after putting up a store house for the colonies food said to the colonists, “now men. work or starve —no work, no eat.” The thistle patches could be staked so they could be found and each man could be limited to his requirements for the month or so many hours per week. The same could be done on the ditch clean outs this late summer. Now in individual cases, some on poor relief have radios, run an

Is Hollywood's newest rave, and were ah. free to accept all offers, could retire with a fortune before reaching the end of the normal kindergarten years. The Paramount theater in New York nas just wired offering Shirley a guarantee of $5,000 a week to make personal appearances on its stage. A i big food company wants to pay hgr $3,500 for a single broadcast on a national radio hookup. This in addition to a scramble of Hollywood producers to borrow the new child find from Fox. which holds her to a seven-year contract. Under this contract, and It would be heart breaking If they held her to it, Shirley draws only $l5O a week. But the word goes around ' that Fox already Is considering an adjustment to a salary more commensurable with Shirley's earning power in the Independent market. As the child's discoverer, the film company naturally expects to cash in to some extent, but the Baby Bernhardt can look to get a handsome raise. And as Shirley's dad Is the manager of a branch bank, her money will be carefully Invested. see William Collier won't tell who he Is. but a certain actor pulled the prize stall of the week. The veteran stage and screen star Is on the committee to sell tickets tor the coming I M asquers revel. He put the bee on an actor acquaintance who countered with a lot of questions. Willie explainer! that ' the tickets cost only a dollar and gave the date of the revel. On tiptoe for a getaway, the actor replied: “I'll take one. but you'll have to see me later. I don’t want to tie up a dollar for that long.” • • • ! An 85-year-old Long Beach woman ' just paid Will Rogers the biggest I compliment of his career. She picked Will’s show, “Ah, Wilderness”. to pay her first visit to the theater in 25 years. The old lady was brought to the El Capitan theater In a wheel chair . and watched the O’Neill comedy unI fold from the vantage point of a side aisle. She laughed heartily fluring the performance and, going out, informed Manager Matt Allen: “This is the first show I've seen since ‘Rip Van Winkle'.
