July. It's certain that relief work must lie carried on utid congress no doubt feels the same way. Although employment is picking up. several hundred thousand men would be thrown out of employment if the program stopped now. At present 180 Adams county men are enrolled on the WPA rolls and under the new program this number will probably be reduced to 100, others finding private employment on farm and industry, or transferred to PWA projects. This county has less work relief than a majority of communities and state officers point to the good conditions which exist here in the way of steady employment in factory and industry. Headlines were made of the recent flood in Johnstown, Pa., but those who lived through the great flood of 1889, probably think they saw a worse condition. Speaking of the flood, let's refresh your j memory that it was on May 31,1 1889, when a dam along the Conemaugh river burst, flooded the entire country and took nearly 2,000 lives. Johnstown built itself out of the ruins and today is an important city of nearly 70.000 population. The Centennial Good Will Bond sale is going over the top and there is no mistake about that. ] Subscriptions and pledges already I made total more than half of the I amount of the budget and by the lend of the week it'is presumed the goal will be in sight. It should be' ; borne in mind that those who are | engaged in the selling of the bonds I are donating of their time, all for I the purpose of serving their home town and in support of a community undertaking. If we all get the i spirit, the job will be completed ! easily. i Admitting all blunders and minimizing all accomplishments, none 1 can deny that Roosevelt led this - country out of chaos. At the end I l of ins third year in the White House, the average man and wo-i man cannot fail to recall that he freed the country from despair and 1 restored the faith of the people in all walks of life. A great majority still firmly believe that he is sincerely striving to make this a betI ter country. They know he has the courage and the intelligence to battle with greedy special interests and they love him for the enemies he has made. —Washington News. The is houses at the Homestead will be redecorated and put in first class shape, preparatory to turning the property over to a local operating agency and annexing it to the city. It is also planned to improve the roadways at the site and to make other necessary repairs. The federal government is working on the plan to create a company so the properties can be taxed and annexed to the city and hope to complete details in a short time. Representatives of the Resettlement Administration are proceeding on the basis that the government does not wish to evade taxes and as soon as legal requirements can be met, the matter will be settled. o Answers To Test Questions I Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed j on Page Two 1.

Efforts of interests to force the legislature to consider revision of the state tax and liquor laws were frustrated by the administration's overwhelming majority. Gov. McNutt delayed convening the legislature until he was reasonably certain he could forestall attempts to throw the calendar open to general legislation and secure passage of the administrations program within two weeks. The public health bill, without any controversial features, was the first measure enacted. Passage of the unemployment compensation bill and the publicwelfare act came only after the Democratic majority had beaten down opposition efforts to effect drastic amendments. Under terms of the public welfare act. indigeuts over 70 years old. blind and crippled persons will be provided a pension not to exceed S3O a month.

O'Brien, chief clerk of the . water department, said the supply j obtainable from Johnson city would I last only a few hours and that I>eicause of low pressure it probably would b. available only in the homes of the lower sections, many of which already were inundated and uninhabitable. “We are confronted with a very serious situation,” O Brien said.
