Boys of high school age are finding it easy to get employment during vacation and school authorities state a large number are now "picking up a little money.” Regular employment in industry however, is limited tc youths 18 years of age or older.

There is more of "less" everyday. Today it is smokeless powder; tomorrow it may be headless cabbage or costless merchandise. And speaking of merchandise . . . remember that the goods you buy from advertisements in this newspaper actually cost less for the same high quality. That's one reason why people read our ads so carefully, why they do their family shopping through the family newspaper. Also, that's why this isn't an adless paper! A d itor! al by

Purdue university has conduct-’ ed an unusual institute the past ; two weeks, the conference ending this week willt scheduled appear- ' ances by Governor Townsend and Amelia Earhart. Leading industrialists, scientists, educators and 1 noted people have addressed the J institute and the sessions have j j been largely attended. It is edu-: ! rational in nature and designed to* ' contribute information making for 1 better living conditions and de- j termination of national planning, j It is one of the fine educational i movements sponsored by Purdue 1 and outstanding in scope. | A few years ago old age pen-j I sions, assistance to the blind and I other forms of financial relief to i I the needy and afflicted were un-1 i known. Counties were acquainted , i with the system of helping the orphan, but under the new social i security and welfare acts, the, scope of relief to those unable to ; care for themselves had widened' greatly. Last month in Adams j county a total of nearly $5,000 was j paid to those who qualified for re-1 lief. The largest number now re-1 i ceiving financial relief are those; registered on the old age pension i roster. This county is aiding 212 < persons and in May payments to them totaled $3,382.50, averaging $15.96. The county pays only, about 20 percent of the total, tlie state and federal governments 1 making up the balance. The nat-, ional viewpoint today is to help those who are undernourished and unable to care for themselves. It’s not a bad trait. Following his policy of making I I men to fit the jobs, instead of finding jobs to fit men. the gover- , nor will receive universal approval for his new superintendent of i the Putnamville farm. To most people, the place means only a word. They hope it will always be a name, for it happens to be the . reformatory to which the wayward and the tempted are taken to obtain a new perspective of life. But it is more than that. It hap-1 pens to be the biggest farm in the state of Indiana. Cultivating, 2,397 acres of its own property, it leases 3,000 more acres. The man who heads Putnamville must run these farms. In picking State Sen- i ator Floyd Hemmer for this place. ; the governor picked a man who is trained in running large farms and dealing with farm problems. As the owner of 250 acres he has had the necessary experience as training for this place. The governor is picking men fitted to jobs, not finding jobs to meet the needs of men who want them. In this case he was fortunate. Safety on the highways cannot ' be measured entirely by the number of deaths. There are the maimed and injured. There is the tremendous loss of property. The , scientific approach to the solution of this and any other problem must be to first get the facts. That is ' what the new safety laws sponsored by Governor Townsend and now in effect mean. What has, happened in the past decade is j the creation of a new system of transportation and way of life. The auto has replaced the horse and buggy. We have the machines, increasing by thousands each year and now almost a necessity and not a pleasure, but we have not , yet learned the way to drive them j and still protect life and property. Reports which are now mandat- | ory will reveal these facts. The l * problem presents more than the enactment of speed limits. These have been tried and failed. There ' are other factors to be determined, j i involving the building of highways , and grade crossings. To the end 1 not only that lives may be pro- j ■ tected from unnecessary dangers, ' but that tlie property created I through the years, may be saved from waste and destruction, these i * reports may indicate an answer. i i'
