Green Bay Campaign Shows How a Town Can End Its Unemployment Method So Successful That Legion Takes Up Idea, Widening Into National Scale; Letter To Citizens From Responsible Officials Explains Method of Procedure! By Caleb Johnson The way to end unemployment is to put men back to work. Unemployment is a problem which affects everybody in every community. It is up to all the people of each community, therefore, to take part in every intelligent effort to find jobs for those who need them. And the most intelligent effort of this sort that I know of is what they did at Green Bay, Wisconsin. Any community, of any size, can organize for unemployment relief on the Green Bay plan. In that town of 40,000 population, in one month more than 1,000 men and women were put back to work. Some of them had not had a job for two years. There were 1,745 out of work when the united effort began. At the end of a month, 1,023 of these had been placed in permanent jobs and the rest all had either temporary or part-time jobs, so that there was nobody out of work in Green Bay except those unable to work, and the "floaters." The Green Bay campaign started by the Mayor issuing a proclamation that all the whistles in the city would blow from 7:30 to 7:35 on the morning of the drive's start, and all the bells in town would ring. The fire and police departments used their sirens, and all autos came to a stop and blew their horns for two minutes. At 10:30, reports were broadcast over the local radio station of the drive's results. Noon lunches, radio talks, and preparatory newspaper stories told the town that Green Bay would have jobs for half of its unemployed within three hours. A captain was assigned to each of the 500 city blocks, asking each resident for a pledge of two hours work weekly at forty cents an hour.

ATWATER KENT Noon lunches, radio talks, and preparatory newspaper stories told the town that Green Bay would have Jobs for half of its unemployed within three hours. A captain was assigned to each of the 500 city blocks, asking each resident for a pledge of two hours work weekly at forty cents an hour. Legion Helps As soon as the block drive was over, every employer in the town was personally contacted by phone, letter, or personal call of the unemployment committee's chairman. These men were urged to keep the same number of men they had on the payroll in 1925, if necessary by staggering the work shorter hours, and so forth. The result was that over 700 men were called back to their old jobs. In spite of the fact that mild weather killed the usual snow-shoveling and street-cleaning jobs, the plan was successful. Every home, store and shop in the town was visited. A registration system and checkup of addresses served to distinguish "floaters" from the resident unemployed. The Department of Wisconsin of the American Legion adopted the Green Bay plan, which is working with great success in that state, and in other cities throughout the country. It is not a self-operative plan, by any means, and calls for co-operation on the part of all the civic elements in a town grouped around the Legion Post, as a working nucleus. The working body consists of the Legion's unemployment committee; local newspaper publishers; the Mayor; local organized labor executives; manager of local radio stations; This plan calls for no discussion, no argument about theories or politics. Nobody can object to giving work to those who are not working now. The short is repaid in more than moral satisfaction. It means that those now boarding money will spend for normal necessities when the spectre of unemployment is removed. In communities where civic activities are small, where the population chiefly serves an outlying agricultural district, this plan may be widened to take in the farms. There is room on the land for those men who cannot find work in the town. In these instances, heads of agricultural organizations such as the Grange, etc., may be added to the working committee. Groups of farmers may pool together to pay for the services of a laborer, who can work one day or more on individual properties. A letter used by the Green Bay committee puts the case in concise language: Letter Explains Dear Fellow Citizen: "The Green Bay Unemployment Relief Commission thanks you sincerely for assisting to overcome the great burden of unemployment in our city this winter, by hiring a man to do your chores. This man will report at once to begin this work in your block. Please treat him as a fellow-citizen asking not charity, but merely the opportunity to earn a living for his family. Find things for him to do. You are entitled to his help in all of the reasonable little jobs about your property, and he will be glad to be assigned to these tasks. If other work comes up requiring painters, paperhangers, carpenters, won't you please call the city hall and this commission will send the proper."

Citrus Growers Back From Dam "Biggest Job They Ever Saw" Impresses 75 Taking Big Weew-End Trip "The biggest job they ever saw," was the conviction of every one of the 75 persons in the Orange county group that visited Hoover dam last week-end under the direction of Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg. By special arrangement negotiated through Col. S. H. Finley, the Orange county group was taken to strategic points on the project where they had an opportunity to see at close range the vast army of drillers, miners, surveyors, carpenters, masons and trucks in feverish activity. Walker R. Young, U. S. bureau of reclamation engineer in charge of the vast undertaking, personally conducted the party through the reservation and through the newly built Boulder City which houses the workers on the job. Lunch was served in the Six Company's mess house for the party so they might have an idea how the 3500 men on the project are fed and served. The quality and quantity of food served left nothing wanting. The entire project was conducted in a businesslike manner not only conducive to the efficient prosecution of the work but also favoring the comfort of the large army of employees. The desert road to Las Vegas was in fine condition. The trip from Olive to Las Vegas, a distance of 300 miles, was made in eight hours. The site of Hoover dam is located about 30 miles south of Las Vegas on an oiled gravel road almost equal to pavement. At the banquet held the first evening, the Orange county party was welcomed by A. H. Harrington, secretary of the Clarke county farm bureau. Judge F. D. Halm, La Habra, responded for Orange county. Walker R. Young reclamation engineer, U. S. bureau of reclamation, described the Hoover project in detail and Col. S. H. Finley explained the water district other... A real aid at housecleaning time when walls must be cleaned may be found in any five and ten cent store. The little rubber sponge, which costs ten cents, will remove discolorations from paper as easily as an ordinary eraser removes soil from any paper. The tiny particles which rub off the sponge are easily brushed from the floor. Left-over cereals such as cream of wheat, farina or wheatena, may be used as a dessert if sugar or syrup is added. Dissolve the sugar and add to the cooked cereal, pour into moulds, and chill. At serving time place on an attractive plate, add whipped cream or pour plain cream over. This is especially good for smaller children. The younger children in the family usually dislike the idea of having the outgrown clothes of the larger child passed on to them. If the article happens to be shoes, why not have the soles repaired, new buttons sewed on, and the shoes newly dyed and polished? The shoes will seem new, and will really be new to that child. Besides the psychological effect upon the child, the shoes wear longer and a real saving is effected. When dish towels are too worn to be used as towels, cut out the part most worn, lay the two long, worn parts together, turn in one clear, and stitch all around the edges with the machine, then across from corner to corner, making a double cross. This makes an excellent dish cloth, and wears a surprisingly long time. To clean combs thoroughly and quickly, use the ordinary string cleaner wet with any commercial cleaning fluid. The grease dissolves readily, and the comb may be washed with warm suds and dried after. Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Vincent made an unexpectedly long stay at Glennan Hot Springs early this week.

There may be some excitement here yet, and there will be if the present plans of the House majority are carried out. Speaker Garner has already promised a fight on President Hoover's plan to consolidate a number of detached government bureaucums in the interest of economy. Mr. Garner calls the President's plan "idiotic." Perhaps that may have been merely an expression of peevishness because the President beat the Democratic leaders to it by a couple of days. A program of consolidation had been under careful preparation for a good while, but before it could be made public the recommendation came from the White House and once more the Administration had stolen the spotlight. That starts a fight in which each party will try to prove that its pet method of retrenchment is better than the other-side's. The argument will be hot and lively and full of statements and speeches carefully prepared for use in the Presidential campaign. But out of it there seems a hope that there will actually be a reduction in Government costs. One of the big fights between Capitol Hill and the White House will be over the Democratic proposal to consolidate the Army and Navy under one War Secretary. Army men oppose it unless they can run the combined services, Navy men oppose it, for the same reason, the President and his advisers are said to be against it, but it has been made an official policy of the Democratic majority, which intends to shove the bill through the House as specially as possible and to use every effort to get the Senate to agree to it. The Army and the Navy were administered as a unit in the first few years of the United States, but since 1798 they have been operated separately. There is no possible way therefore, to tell whether combined operation of all our fighting forces, under a single Cabinet head would be more or less efficient in these times. That gives everybody a chance to argue on either side, without danger of anyone proving him wrong. And into the debate there is likely to be injected the third group which has been trying to divide control still further by setting up the military and naval air services as a third arm with its own Secretary in the Cabinet.
