Will Blockade Roads Se rcily A permanent state police road . blockade system will be placed in operation in Indiana this v ceX with secrecy surrounding all activities, it wa sannounced by Al G. Fec.aey state director of public safety. Feeney announced plang for -the blockade -shortly before he left for Washington where he will outline the system to J. Edgar Hoover director of the bureau of investigaticn of the department of jutsice. The blockade was establizhed last fall. Shortly after 10 prisoners escaped from the state prison at Michigan City, and is believed by authorities to have curbed criminal accivities. Under the new program a special flying squadron of picked siate police #Men will be detailed for the road biockade under personal direction of the safety director. “I will be the only one te know the location of the daily blockade. Not even the sheriff of the county where we set up the barrier will krow about it, until a few minutes before we place it in operation” Feeney said. One-half the width of the road will be blocked with sandbags and woodeu Larricades allowing motorists to pass single file after being iuspcclted and questioned by the’ policemen. ,
Christian Science ServiCes
“Truth” was the subject of the [Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of (Christ Scientist on Sunday Jan 28. m‘{y_ Among the citations which comprised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: “For the law wag given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ” (John 1: 7). “And Jesus went about all Galilee teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom; ang healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people” (Matt. 4:23). “And he opened his mouth, and taught them saving’’ (Matt, 5:2). “The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single thy whole body shall be tull of light” (Matt. 6:22). .- The Lesson-Sermon .also included the following passages from the ‘Christian Science textbook, ‘“Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “The question, ‘What is Truth’ convulses the world” (p. 223). “This Science teaches man that God is *h= only ILife ang that this Life is Truth and, Love; that God is to be understood, adored and demonstrated; that divine Truth casts out suppositional error and heals the sick” (p. 471). “Divine Truth must be known by its effects on the body as well as on the mfind, before the Science of being can be demonstated” (p. 350).

CWA PROGRAM MAY CONTINUE ] Revival of InduStry Counted On ‘ Provide Jobs For Many . * Thousands %
“IContinued employment beyond May 1 for most of the 4,000,000 CWA work | ers who went on the government payroll last November appeareq to be the likely outcome of a dispute over continuance of that emergency pro-. gram. ] o Public works, seasonal employment and a revival of industry are counted | on to provide jobs after May 1 for more than 2,000,000 persons on thé present CWIA work roll. But an administration compromise seemed to be in the making to shift to some other government payroll the luckless ones who do not find one of the new jobs. CWA was created November 8 to compensate for delay in providing work on public works projects. jThrough the Civil Works Administration there has been a constant flow of ready money to all parts of the country. Opposition to sudden disem- | ployment of the 4,000,000 current workers is tremendous. : o The CWA began with an allotment of $400,000,000 of public works funds tc Harry Hopkins Federal Emergency Relief Administration. Another $350,000,000 is to be spent. On November 15 Hopkins met with a group | of 1,019 persons most of them mayors or other local public officials. i “Here is a chance” Hopkins told the assembleq officials “to do certain things for certain types of people who think they had a tough hreak during he depression. It is unthinkable that anybody would use any part of this $400,000,000 for any political purpose. It is unthinkable that anybody would use this money for private or personal profit or gain. I have great confidence in the public officials of America because that is really to whom we are talking.” Hopkins has been somewhat disappoitned in the matter of political use 1 of CWA funds and their use for private gain, But more: than 4,000,000 persons did get jobs. CWA records show that the peak load of employment was 4,120,000. President Roosevelt evidently will insist that the CWA organization be abandoned May 1 on schedule. His budget for the next fiscal year does not provide for CWIA although he has decided to project into 1935 expendiJture for the civilian conservation corps. But so intimately are the relief administration and CWA related that it is expected the workers will ‘lbe cared for after the May 1 deadline. .
Farm House Burns.
Fire which started’ from a defective flue destroyed the residence on the farm owned by Rex 8. Emerick five and one-half miles northeast of Kendallville entailing a loss estimated at about $3,000. The loss is said to be covered by insurance. Paul Kline and family have been tenants on the farm the last two years.

THE RURAL MAIL SERVICE. |1 AcCurate Information Concerning the | Postal Service from the National v Capital at Washington. Do you utilize your mail service | as much as you should for your own | g00d? Possibly you drive to town for a plow point when a telephone call would have sent it to you, parcel | post, promptly and at considerably | less expense. Rely more upon ‘your mail service and you will save both F time and money. i : Statistics gathered with scrupulous care from a representative group of rural mail carriers prove coneclusively that it costs you mailman 858 cents per mile each day to maintain his equipment. This is an average figure. In Texts the cost according to the survey, runs over 13 cents per mile. : Yet during July, August, September and October of this year your rural carrier only received a onecent per mile allowance causing him to take the other seven cents out of his salary. The result is that the salary of your rural carrier each year is several hundred dollars less than it is reputed to be and the average rurai carrier salary is lower than that of either the city carrier or the postal clerk, who does not have to spend a cent for travel equipment or its costly maintenance. : - The rural carrier’s working day is divided into four parts. The actual time he serves his route is but’ one section of his day’s work. First 1 he must spenq time assorting and casing his mail in the . post office, then he goes out on his route. When he returns he must again do a varying amount of clerical work in connection with his route responsibilities. Finally he mu-s;{*‘spend time keeping his equipment condition for the next day. - Thousands of runral mail patrons, it has been demonstrated, have taken it for granteq that the Government | furnishes rural carriers with auto|mobiles and other equipment. F Naturally, it is among this class that | one finds the thoughtless critics who occasionally should that their trustworhy miailman is overpaid. If you could see your carrier with his car’s Tear .end torn out on account of con|tending with atrocious roads and subjeced to a repair bill that will eat up a week’s salary, you would more ‘completely realize his plight because, ] not only has he to buy his equipment but that isn’t “the half of it.” Uninformed rural mail patrons during the past few months have had their “hatchets out” favoring the cuting of the salaries of rural carriers and all other Federal employees,evidently on the theory it would make their local or gtate taxes lighter. If the entire rural service were abolished it would not make those taxes one cent less.
It is gratifying to note it- has not taken the public long to realize the error of their position with the result that the pendulum of sentiment now is demanding more liberal treatment of Federal employees. Few rural mail patrons realize how much equipment must be purchased and maintained by their rural mail carrier. : : - [Hundreds of carriers have routes requiring an automobile for fair weather, horses and the mail wagon for mug and expensive snow equipment in order to give satisfactory service regardless of weather condition. Many carriers have routes that must be served throughout the year by horsedrawn equipment while some have routes so difficultl they are com pelled to serve them horseback. The 15 per cent salary cut the 75 per cent equipment allowance -cut, together with the retirement deduction hag so drastically reduced the income of the average rural carrier that he is subjected to severe financial hardships. Regardless of his personal plight, the rural carrier has borne his losses with patriotic fortitude patiently waiting for the return to normal times, 0 : ‘We all know the scrub animal is a dead loss. It is the thoroughbred, the pedigreed article that we value. The post office department is. determined not to give rural mail patrons “scrub” gervice because that is the kind of service you would get if any attention were paig the occasional demand of city folks that the rural service be placed on a contract in order to save money. - In the long run no money would be saved but your mail service, would be thrown into such chaos it would take years to put it back on its present efficient level. Don't fail to scoff at any person suggesting contract rural service because rural mail patrons deserve the same ‘“thoroughbred” strvice that city patroms. degerve. o
