COUNTY EDUCATOR ADDRESSES LOCAL HUNGER STRIKE IS ENDED BY WOMAN IN BREA; IS TOLD CHECKS NOT DOLE Miss Lucy Craig Refuses to Accept “Dole”; Told Checks For Deficiency Wednesday morning Dr. Geo. Warmer and W. W. Hay, members of the Orange County SERA Committee, with Director Halloran visited Miss Lucy Graig at Brea who has been on a hunger strike for the past five days in protest to the dole method of relief. Miss Craig, who is an ardent believer in work relief for all able bodied perons, objected to being transferred to direct relief when she was capable and willing to continue her employment as a bookkeeper in the Brea Cooperative. She understood that her transfer to direct relief meant dismissal from her employment and acceptance of a dole, which in her judgment breaks down the morale of all recipients. Members of the Committee explained the present procedure in SERA which is that those persons have small budgets under $13,000 per month are granted their checks without being COUNTY EDUCATOR ADDRESSES LOCAL ROTARIANS MON. A. F. Corey, of the county school system, was the principal speaker at the Monday noon meeting of the Anaheim Rotary Club, at which time an election was held naming the five to take seats on the board of directors. Corey's talk brought out the true value of a democracy in a comparison made with the millions who are starving in Russia. He also stated that in his belief a dictatorship was a sign of weakness rather than strength. "America must come to a decision," said the speaker and then pictured conditions as existing in governments more or less under anarchistic rule. "To recognize our own faults, then to make our government a better one we need education of a different kind," he declared. "The United States has been successful along scientific lines but now must supplement it with education for character." There are six or seven million children in the United States without schooling, he said. Willbur H. Bornney, A. L. Kirchmann and K. B. Richy were re-elected as directors of the club and Dr. H. A. Johnston and Dr. Ralph M. Waltz were elected as new members of the board of directors. A welcome home program was staged at the meeting for Dr. Dean D. Waynick who recently returned from a trip to Hawaii. Dr. Waynick spoke on his trip and told of the many interesting points of interest in the Islands. He told of the problem of assimilating the orientals in the Islands and stated that a very good job was being done by the residents and officials. The sugar and pineapple industries are in very good shape and well organized in both production and marketing. He stated that one must see all the islands in order to appreciate Hawaii as each island is different and each has its own particular fascination for the visitor. The boys trio and the string section of the Fremont school orchestra were direct relief when she was capable and willing to continue her employment as a bookkeeper in the Area Cooperative. She understood that her transfer to direct relief meant dismissal from her employment and acceptance of a debt, which in her judgment breaks down the morale of all recipients. Members of the Committee explained the present procedure in SERA which is that those persons have small budgets under $15,000 per month are granted their checks without being required to report at Cooperatives or other relief projects at specified times. This policy is essential to save administrative expense so that the amount of available money may be expended in the interest of the needy. It was explained to Miss Craig that certain positions in the administrative forces in SERA are necessarily filled by persons possessing qualifications which are not always obtainable among those who are needy. It was further explained that there are at present 93 persons on the SERA rolls who are now receiving bad-catching from $6,000 to $15,000 per month; these persons are receiving what is technically known as "Deficiency Budgets" which means that they have an outside source of income which is insufficient to meet their needs according to SERA standard. Many of these receiving "Deficiency Budgets" Amber $15,000 per month are now voluntarily working in Cooperatives and elsewhere. Since these persons are not assigned through SERA to these projects, no complete administrative record of their (Continued on page 6) Kiwanians Hear Talk On Democracy "Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down on Democracy" was the subject of an address before the Kiwanis Club at its meeting held Tuesday noon by Arthur Corey assistant county superintendent of schools. "Democracy must be strengthened, or radically opposing governments will undermine it." he said. "Such strengthening can be done best by more thought on our education of the coming generations." Neither of the popular arrangements of Europe, communism, which is the outgrowth of the under-privilege, and fascism, the result of the over-privileged consideration or offers the individual freedom, while democracy offers the attempt, at least at reconciliation of liberty and justice. Merchants and Manufacturers Assn. Plans Easter Egg Hunt For Anaheim Youngsters On Saturday, April 20th Definite arrangements for an Easter egg hunt to be held in Anaheim on Saturday, April 20, were made at a meeting of the Merchants and Manufacturers association held in the banquet room of the Marigold Cafe Wednesday noon. A committee headed by L. H. Loudon, president of the association will handle the affair and complete plans for the event. The meeting was more or less given over to a discussion of the Federal Housing act, with a talk by M. E. Beebe, chairman of the associations committee for this activity. Beebe told of attending a meeting of the various chairmen, which took in the territory bounded by Calexico on the south to Bakersfield on the north with sixty some men in attendance. He told of a visit to the new auditorium site in Los Angeles and described the work being done there. "The plan," said Beebe, "is to build a building that will be permanent for gatherings of all kinds, such as conventions. Surrounding this building will be a miniature village, of houses and buildings to be made up in the manual training departments of the high schools in Southern California. I have taken the matter up with Prin- (Continued on page 2)
