Of) SOME HORSE SENSE ON YOUTH AID PROBLEMS Heartening to earners , who .pay for the whole system , no. matter whether it is called home relief , work relief or projects of some kind , is the kick welfare officials in New York state have registered against a new ruling of the National Youth administration which seems to work against local economy efforts. Public welfare commissioners from 108 county and city relief districts have expressed vigorous opposition to this federal policy under which youths would be dropped from N. Y. A. rolls if they are required to con- tribute m oie than 25 per cent of their N. Y. A. wages to their family ex- penses. Edwin W. \Wallace of Hempstead , Nassau county welfare commissioner , as president of the New York State Association of Public Welfare Offi- cials , announces this concerted action , and David C. Adie , commissioner \ of the New York State Department of Social Welfare , has set it forch in a letter to Aubrey W. Williams , nat- ional administrator of the N. Y. A. The state ' s principle , Mr. Adie says , \holds that every member of the family group is equally ^sponsi- ble for the welfare of the entire fam- ily .. . Certainly that is an important lesso n for all youth to learn .... The local public welfare official must take into consideration the total of the family ' s resources before decid- ing upon the amount ' of relief to he granted. \ Contrast this sound doctrine with the N. Y. A. statement: \The wages paid to an N. Y. A. worker are in- tended primarily to help the youth im- prove his personal employability. \ Everybody feels sorry for a youth wh ose life must be narrowed by the poverty of his family, but the re- sponsibility of the public certainly extends no further than seeing that the necessities are provided. There are plenty cf cases observable ' in which families on relief get better dental , optical , medical and nursing caro than persons working and §\rp - pprting themselves and . dependents. There are cases in which relief fam- ilies ride around in automobiles , go to the movies , use liquor and tobaor co, even send their children to col - lege when those children do not rate high enough in their studies to gain scholarship aid , as such. There are cases of relief people insisting, in the stores , on getting fancy food and fancy clothing which people who are working feel they cannot afford. Such things . happen , presumably, through failure of one aiding agency to check efficiently with another , and th rough ' clever deception. But here in this N. Y. A. ruling we haye what \appears to be a case of deliberately working against reason- able checkup of one source of aid against another. Situations of this kind , a matter of common talk, must be just as dis- couraging to honestly needy persons who take as little as they can do with , aa to the neighbors who have to pay for the excesses and duplications. The welfare officials of this state stand on solid ground and talk hone sense whea they protest against ' such a ruling, : A nnounce Winners Chick and Egg Show Farmingdale School Scoring 99 points , an entry of Barred Plymouth Rock chicks from Victor H.

BEATING THE \WAR BULGE\ American retailing has done a fine job lately in protecting consumers against unwarranted advances in prices. And there is no evidence whatsoever of profiteering. That encouraging news comes \ right from the horse ' s mouth . \ It is c ontained in a report of the Bureau of Agricultural . Economics , . which was recently presented to Secretary Wallace and released officially by the Department of Agriculture. The margin between farm and re- tail prices , the report states , is ac- tually less today than it was when the war in Europe began. And the price of food has declined since, the \ war bulge \ of last September. Retail food prices , the. report adds> are 26 per cent lower than in 1929; Here is more evidence* of the sound- ness of owr American merchandising structure , working on a free , honest and open competitive basis. N owhere else in the world does the consumer get so wide a selection of goods at so low a price. Nowhere else in the world does the farmer generally ob- tain so large a share . \ of the final selling price of what he .produces. And nowhere else in the world has retailing efficiency and economy been brought to so high a degree of per- fection. All kinds of stores have done their part to make this possible—indepen- dent , chain , super-market , etc. And all kinds of stores have prospered and gpne ahead and increased their vol - ume of business.
