RELIEF KITCHEN SLUMP POINTS TO BETTER DRY County Agency Is to Close After 1936-37 Winter; Line Thins Out. The City and County Employes’ Relief Kitchen. 227 E. Maryland-st, rommnnlv known as the “Soup Kitchen, 1 ' is in its last year of service to the indigent of Marion County. W. H. Marsh, manager, said today that the kitchen, which from its inception January 1, 1930, has served bean soup to unfortunates, would be discontinued after the winter of 1936-1937. “We might a3 well close. Times are better. The relief load has dropped to the point where now I’m caring for persons, who in the main, are disabled and can not work,” Mr. Marsh said. Demand Is Curtailed “I don’t know what will become of some of those I’m caring for, but I feci the kitchen has served Its purpose in depression years and we might as well close up now that more men have jobs," he said. Mr. Marsh pointed out that in 1932, peak year of the depression, the kitchen served 1350 families and 750 single men twice daily Now, he said but 100 families and 225 men are fed each day. He estimated that by midsummer his clients may drop to but 50 families and not more than 150 men. Mr. Marsh has seen peak days when as high as 6200 persons have been served in one day. Many Families Aided “About the only chance for the rellpf lines to increase here after June 1 would be for the Works Progress Administration to lay off a large group. If it did our family load of persons who carry out buckets of soup would jump from 100 to between 300 and 400 within a day," he said. The kitchen is now aiding large families and those not receiving aid from other agencies. One meal is served daily instead of two as was done in 1932 and 1933. Mr. Marsh said during depression years the kitchen had many donations ol food given to it by business men, produce dealers, and food supply houses. "But as soon as good times returned the donations dropped off," he noted. Five Employes Remain Five employes remain from the staff of 22 which originally manned the kitchen. “There's Uncle Tom Perry. He’s been with me since the day I opened,’’ Mr. Marsh said. Uncle Tom is 70 and sharpens the kitchen's carving knives. He has earned his room, a small bunkhouse in the building, since 1930 by this work. He formerly canvassed city households as a scissors grinder. But even Uncle Tom, Mr. Marsh admits, is coming out of the degression, for he now' receives an olcl-age pension in addition to his room. The soup kitchen is financed by contributions of city and county employes, benefit dances, baseball games and merchant, donations.

and the Far East as a newspaper correspondent. He declared yesterday the nation must lose no time to avoid conditions that have been experienced in Asia. “No one who has not seen Asia intimately can know what deforestation and erosion mean to an American,” he said. “After an absence of 30 years I find my Indiana dreamland in a state of demolition. In one generation Indiana has depleted her natural resources faster than China did in centuries.” Mr. McCormick was reared in the Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home at Knightstowm and later was a farm worker in Montgomery County.
