Scott, editor of the Manchester Guardian, because during 57 years he showed the heights to which journalism based on idealism and humanitarianism can attain.

Mr. Scott was 85 years old. He took the Guardian, then a little provincial newspaper and made it into a great editorial medium whose voice reached daily around the world. From Scott and his paper the saying grew up: "What Manchester does today, England will think tomorrow." He was never a popular figure like Lord Northchiffe was, nor like Lord Beaverbrook is today. A journalist, politican and classical scholar, stern but quiet fighter, he still remained a simple man, the embodiment of faith in mankind.

root he was a Puritan, with his whole being consecrated to public service, and then to journalism. HERO MEDAL FOR BOY HOOSICK FALLS, N. movement has been started in Hoosick Falls to obtain 8.

Another national vote on prohibition, the letter said, would not take the issue out of politics, but would assure it a place there for many years. Better enforcement, larger observance, were called for.

Baldwin Works on New Year's; Finds 20 Jobs With the possibility that there might be work for some unemployed man Supt. Robert W. M.

Baldwin of the Green Bay Free Employment bureau discovered that "New Year's Day" could be and was just another Friday. The arrival of snow might mean the arrival of opportunities, the superintendent reasoned and he went down to work as usual. Soon the telephone was ringing. Persons had to have men to shovel their snow. The employment bureau, engaged in public service, was expected to treat holidays, just telephone as folks, policemen railroads and fire- and other public service employees do.

By noon about men had been engaged, put to work on twenty, snow shovelling jobs. None of the jobs lasted or brought much in wages. Saturday an additional few were sent out. The snow storm provided work for the men-in-theblocks, for very many city men and city charges and for these few additional men. The first page in the 1932 employment record for Green Bay showed 759 registered unemployed.

This is an increase due to the return to the lists of who had been put on special "week before Christmas" jobs and at the post-office and the results of the sustained publicity unemployment relief has obtained. There are still more than cards, sent out in the recent 200, conducted by the burcau, which have not been reported on. These men now will not be registered for 1932. They may restore their registration at any time but the bureau is not carrying cards on men who have not been heard from, do not answer mail. and whose whereabouts not even known for certain.

The city's Relief commission is scheduled to meet some day next week and next week also will see the activity of the American lerevived, its "Man-to-a-Block" campaign. The veterans hope by another intensive solicitation of homes in the city to create enough hours of work weekly to put another considerable number of men on these jobs.
