Uncle Sam To Use 48 State Agencies In Relief Program Federal Set-Up Gives As High As 65 Per Cent, With States Making Up Balance Utilization of the far-flung maintenance organizations of the 48 state highway departments is planned by the administration as part of the program to provide employment through the winter for the many unemployed now on relief rolls it was announced recently. In a telegram to all state highway departments, Thos. H. MacDonald, chief of the bureau of public roads, U. S. department of agriculture, outlined a tentative setup by which relief labor will be furnished and paid by the federal relief administration up to 65 per cent of the total expenditure. The remaining 35 percent will be from federal funds supplied to the state highway departments, and this money will be used to pay for supervision, supplies, material and equipment. Maintenance supervisors of the various state highway departments, under the plan outlined by MacDonald, will prepare, with the aid of county officials, a list of six, or eight highway maintenance projects in each county or district. Each of these projects will provide for a $5,000 expenditure. Additional projects are contemplated in populous or needy counties. Twelve classes of work are listed for immediate undertaking: grading and draining roads and streets largely by hand labor; widening shoulders; widening inside curves and flattening slopes; laying tile underdrains; cobble gutters; fencing right of way; dry masonry guard walls; surfacing and resurfacing with local materials or with materials supplied from other then relief funds; roadside clean-up and selective cutting of brush and trees; footpaths of local materials on outlying streets and suburban roads; clean-up of psychologists call it the "herd instinct," but call it what you will, man, since the beginning of time, has sought the guidance and counsel of his fellow-man in periods of crisis and perplexity. And the farmer, always a home-spun philosopher, if not an academic one, was one of the first to recognize this simple truth. Out of this natural desire for mutual consideration of mutual problems came the first Farmers and Fruit Growers Convention of California—more than 50 years ago. And the same instinct promises to bring farmers from every section of the state, in record-breaking numbers, to the 1933 Farmers and Fruit Growers Convention, which will be held at Modesto Dec. 13-14. Never have the farmer's problems, at least in California, been so complex, nor so numerous. New marketing agreements and the new farm credit structure, both requiring a great deal of interpretation and study, will be two of the big drawing cards at this year's convention, with outstanding national and state authorities scheduled to be present to describe their operation and interpret them as they apply to the individual farmer. The California farmer, like the California business man and industrialist, is face to face with revolutionary changes which bear heavily on his future success or failure and the State Department of Agriculture, in arranging the open forum discussion this year, has made every effort to help him in adapting himself to the new conditions. Director of Agriculture A. A. Brock has grouped the convention program under three heads: agricultural marketing, agricultural credits, and agricultural regulatory and service work. On the opening day, E. L. Markell, field representative Twelve classes of work are listed for immediate undertaking; grading and draining roads and streets largely by hand labor; widening shoulders; widening inside curves and flattening slopes; laying tile underdrains; cobble gutters; fencing right of way; dry masonry guard walls; surfacing and resurfacing with local materials or with materials supplied from other then relief funds; roadside clean-up and selective cutting of brush and trees; footpaths of local materials on outlying streets and suburban roads; clean-up of streets and trimming trees; production of road and maintenance material. State maintenance supervisors in each county will assign experienced men as foremen on individual projects. The work is not to be confined to state highway systems. "The resourcefulness of the state highway departments should enable employment progressively to be given to hundreds of thousands of men before the end of the month," the telegraphic appeal states. Action on the program and financing will follow immediately upon submission of state highway department lists of projects so that actual work may be started without delay. "This is a big order," the telegram says, "but on the other hand the state highway departments are the outstanding agencies of government controlling closely limit and disciplined organizations sufficiently dispersed to insure reasonable success to this emergency effort." "It is an opportunity for constructive effort that must be carried through to successful completion." Responses received immediately by telegraph from all 48 state highway departments show that projects will be submitted and begun immediately. National Parks In Utah Draw Visitors National parks of southern Utah have reported unprecedented gains in tourist travel, largely due to excellent touring conditions and increased interest in Boulder dam construction underway nearby, says the Automobile Club of Southern California. Visitors totaled 2,968 during October in Zion national park alone, it is reported, setting a new record in the parks' travel history for that month and indicating an increase of 113 per cent over October, 1932. Early November travel is increasing at the same ratio, says the club. Six foreign countries and all sections of the United States were represented by visitors to the park during October. formia business man and industrialist, is face to face with revolutionary changes which bear heavily on his future success or failure and the State Department of Agriculture, in arranging the open forum discussion this year, has made every effort to help him in adapting himself to the new conditions. Director of Agriculture A. A. Brock has grouped the convention program under three heads: agricultural marketing, agricultural credits, and agricultural regulatory and service work. On the opening day, E. L. Markell, field representative of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration in California, will discuss the adjustment act and report on progress to-date, as well as future plans for aiding the farmer under the new set-up. Markell was instrumental in working out the successful Tokay grape deal. Markell will be followed by A. J. McFadden of Santa Ana, president of the pro-rate commission, outlining the scope of the far-reaching pro-rate act. State Corporation Commissioner Edwin M. Daugherty will be on the same program with an address on "The Relation of the California Recovery Act to Agriculture." Commissioner Daugherty incidentally, in his administration of the CRA, has done all within his power to serve agriculture fairly and without unnecessary duplication. One of the features of the afternoon session on the opening day will be an address by Brice M. Mace Jr., regional manager of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, of San Francisco. Leading off on the second day of the convention, A. S. Goss, land bank commissioner of the Farm Credit Administration at Washington, will address the delegates. He will be followed by Willard D. Ellis, president of the Federal Land Bank at Berkeley. Ellis holds a key position in the credit structure as general agent for all farm credit administration in the eleventh district. A highlight of the afternoon director of agriculture in California, and America's foremost authority on plant quarantine, state and federal, Strong, recently elevated to the important post of chief of the United States Bureau of Entomology, will discuss recent developments in federal plant quarantine work. Many other leaders in the agricultural industry and in governmental agencies which are seeking to assist the farmer during the present emergency will appear before the convention. The sessions will be open to all farmers and it is anticipated that hundreds of farmers who have heretofore been content to be represented by "proxies" will attend the convention this year to submit their problems to the recognized authorities who will be present. BRUCE BARTON writes of "THE MASTER EXECUTIVE" Supplying a week-to-week inspiration for the heavy-burdened who will land every human trial paralyzed by the experiences of The Man Nobody Knows. FACING THE ENEMY Deserted by the people, Jesus for the first time in his public work forsook Palestine and led his wondering but still dutiful disciples into the foreign cities of Tyre and Sidon. The journey gave him a chance to be alone with the twelve; and it was, in a small way, a repetition of his earlier triumphs. He hated to leave these kindly strangers. Much more he dreaded the thought of another trip through Galilee. What a graveyard of high hopes it was! Every road, every street corner almost every house and tree was alive with memories of his success. Now he must pass each one again, conscious that it might be the last time, his heart weighed down with the thought of high purposes that had brought no response, and sacrifices seemingly in vain. Small wonder that he cried out against Chorazin and Bethsalda and even his own loved Capernaum, the cities for which he had done so much. "Woe unto you," he cried in his loneliness, "for if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon they would have repented long ago, in sack-cloth and ashes." So the spring and summer passed, and autumn came, bringing the feast of tabernacles which he determined to celebrate in Jerusalem. It was a suicidal resolve. The report of his dwindling influence had been carried to the Temple clique which was emboldened by the information. There were spies in every crowd that listened to him. All this he knew but it did not weigh against his resolve. This might be his last feast. He must be true to his calling at whatever cost. So he went. We catch one glimpse of him on the Temple steps, surrounded by a party curious, partly antagonistic crowd. It was his chance to recapture a little of the popular favor, to speak a placating word that might open the way to reconciliation; but no such thought entered his mind. The time for defiance had come. "I have offered you the truth," he cried, "the truth that would make you free." And when they shouted that they were sons of Abraham and hence already free, he replied that they were no children of Abraham, but "children of the devil." They would have killed him then and there, but their courage failed. Give him rope and he would tangle himself inextricably. Every speech was alienating somebody. When the time was ripe they would seize him. So they argued among themselves, and went back once more into his Galilee. Next Week: Standing Alone Copyright, Bobbs-Merrill Co.
