WORK FOR YOOR FOOD, RULE ON POOR BASKETS Million Hours of Public Labor Performed by Charity Applicants. BY CARLOS LANE The historical anecdote of what happened in an early Virginia settlement where crops were turned into a common supply is familiar to every school child who has studied American history. Several colonists conceived the idea that as long as most of the people were foolish enough to work and pour their produce into a common coffer, why not just sit back and enjoy the fruit of their labor without productive effort? But the leader of the colony spotted the plan, and when they approached the granaries, the welcome mat suddenly was turned ove& and the door bolted. Likewise, unemployed men who seek food from bins controlled by Miss Hannah Noone, Center township trustee, find that if they are unwilling to work for their support, her office equally is reluctant to grant relief. Much Labor Done And, as a result of this policy, more than 1,000,000 hours of labor have been completed by wards of the township this year on “made work” programs. Care has been taken to shunt no regularly employed man out of his job by use of “made work” laborers—that is, city officials say, until the state tax board lopped labor appropriations from budgets of the park board and sanitary district. There are two reasons, the trustee explains, why those applying for relief must work. The first is that many improvements can be made that otherwise could not be afforded by the county. The second is that to work for what is given him usually alleviates the humiliation of a husband and father at being forced to seek charity. All Parks Improved Virtually every park in the city has been improved by men obtaining relief tickets from the trustee. On application for a ticket, the man is given a ticket for a week’s groceries and fuel. Each week, the ticket is renewed, provided he reports at the trustee’s office, ready to work two days for the supplies. In parks, leaves have been raked away, brush hauled out, trees planted, grading and sodding done. River beds have been cleaned out, and many other jobs completed. On Marion county highways, the men have built and dressed berms, ditched the roads, unloaded stone, installed culverts and guard rails, and carried on general repairs. Wood Cut, Loaded In the township trustee’s woodyard—source of summer and early autumn fuel supply—“more work” laborers have cut and loaded wood all summer, and soon will begin to clear'away, and cut and load the wood, on several acres of timber north of the city. The wood has been donated to the Emergency Work Committee, Inc. City and county buildings have been cleared and repaired by these workmen, and many hours were spent by them improving municipal airport. They have painted buildings at city hospital, and become special ianitors in township schools, as well as in the Emergency Work Committee’s office. Only Few Exceptions There are a few exceptions to the work-if-you-eat rule. Men who are ill are exempted if they have a physician’s certificate, and women unable to do various tasks assigned them, also are excused. At present, the relief applicants work only for their food and fuel, but the Emergency Work committee is striving to build up a fund with which additional labor can be rewarded with small sums of cash to supplement the groceries and coal. With mild weather favoring all relief agencies thus far this fall, there has been little real suffering. Economic experts have predicted that this winter will be one of distress to millions of poor, unemployed people in the United States, and if their predictions are borne out, Indianapolis will suffer with the rest of the country. Without a Precedent Whether the situation can be met without widespread misery is not a problem that can be answered today, for it is without precedent in the experience of this generation. But there will be. Miss Noone says as far as she is concerned, always a latchstring hanging from the door of a shabby, two-story brick structure on North East street to those who, through no fault of their own, must come, supplicant to the greatest of humanity’s three cardinal virtues. Bogus Money Passed Hi/ Times Special MARION, Ind., Nov. 26.—With arrest of Joseph Becker, 45, authorities started an investigation to determine the source of a counterfeit S2O gold certificate which he tendered at a store in payment for a stove. He insists he did not know the certificate was bogus, saying he received it when he withdrew his money from a Wabash bank a few days ago. School Addition Dedicated lly Times Special LEBANON, Ind., Nov. 26.—Arthur L. Trester. commissioner of the Indiana High School Athletic Association, was the principal speaker here Wednesday when a SIOO,OOO addition to the Lebanon high school building was dedicated. nMrus co-skiii Mrs in mu n In a surprisingly short time such skin troubles as Pimples, Rashes and Blemishes disappear when soothing, antiseptic ZEMO is used.

BY BEN STERN Activities in th Republican ranks have taken a sudden spurt primarily because of the reports from Lake county that Sheriff Tom McDonald is indicating he will be a candidate for the nomination for secretary of state. The sheriff is not the only Lak*> | county man out for office for there has been persistent talk that Ernesr W. Force, the county chairman is grooming himself for attorney-gen-eral; while State Senator C. Oliver Holmes is making gestures toward the nomination for LieutenantGovernor. It is a foregone conclusion that all three of the aspirants will not be nominated, so the situation eventually will settle itself down to a preconvention contest for elimination. Force is said to have the backing of Senator James E. Watson and has conferred cn several occasions with Attorney-General James E. Ogden, who it has been intimated looks kindly upon the Lake county man as a possible successor. u n a In the meanwhile speculation has increased regarding the race for Governor. Outside of casual mention of Oswald Ryan of Anderson the field still is as narrow as M. Bert Thurman, G. O. P. national committeeman, is broad. An experienced politician and exceedingly popular, Thurman has devoted much time to building himself for Governor. For years he has been ambitious for the honor. Bert would, in all probability, have been the nominee in 1923 if he had not thrown away his chances to conduct the Watson presidential primary campaign. He was successful in this, but his friends maintain he sacrificed himself needlessly for Thurman also resigned the lucrative post of internal revenue collector to do this job. They contend Watson will not give Bert wholehearted support in the 1932 convention, because the senator, is first of all, an opportunist. n u tt For Watson to double-cross Thurman, to state it bluntly, would mean the complete alienation of that element in the party which feels that the senior senator is true to his friend sand steadfast in his pledges. There are thousands who believe to the contrary, but Thurman is not one of these. His idol is Watson, and if for expediency the senator does not come through, it will mean more than the mere shattering of the national committeeman’s dream. It will mean to the genial Bert the end of his “world”—a world bounded for him by Jim Watson. CITY DIVISION SAFEST Greyhound Bus Line Prize Goes to Indianapolis District.
