One New Deal Organization Which Paid Its Own

cs FRED W. PERKINS ‘Times Special Writer

: WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.—Folded: " The one adjunct of the New Deal that ever completely paid its own way, with not a cent of public tax

bn n anybody. ‘Happy ' Days,” = national weekly Newspaper for the young men of the Civilian Conservation Corps, is no more because its circulation field was. shot out from under it by an sconomy move in congress. This is not a complete death, but rather a’ transmigration of a journelistic soul, for “Happy Days” has become “Civilian Front,” a rational weekly for civilian defense workers. {The same tabloid format and gen- _ eral style simply pass over.and even the volume numbers have ‘been re-

“Civilian Front” also’ intends to Bet along without calling on Uncle

Sam for any part of its support. ED Days” was modeled after “The Stars and. Stripes,” official newspaper of the A. E. F. in the first world war. Melvin Ryder, who

had been in charge of circulation

for - the overseas soldiers’ paper, came to Washington with the idea in 1933 and had no trouble getting an okay from the then CCC director, Robert Fechner, and from Gen. Douglas MacArthur, then army chief of staff. Some government officials appeared surprised when Mr. Ryder told them he didn't want any federal subsidy, and that all he “asked was a non-exclusive. authorization, subject to cancellation. at any time. It was the publisher's idea that “Happy Days” should operate without any suspicion that what it preached was an. echo of governmental policy. - The officials saw the

point, and did 20t press ‘a subsidy

general organization and individual

on it. « “Happy Days” appeared first on May 20, 1933, ‘and didn’t miss a week until this one. The average circulation was 50,000 copies which were delivered to CCC camps all over the'country and were paid for out of company funds or by individual subscriptions. “Happy Days” spoke and fought for the interests of CCC ‘enrollees, gave wide coverage to news of the

camps, told the boys what a swell job" they were: doing, and provided them with a means of self-expres-sion by publishing their prose and verse. Many enrollees mailed copies back to the home folks to show what an important field of work they were in.

nounces, the editorial coverage will] be news of the ci fense and rd readers, now and in ‘the future, are not solely. interested: in civilian defense, that all’ of ‘us are striving to do our. utmost in the larger job of

defeating ‘the ‘enemy ma winning the war.” = i. -
