VINDICATOR AND REPUBLICAN Emmet County's Own Every Tuesday and Thursday VOLUME LXV ESTHERVILLE, EMMET COUNTY, IOWA, ISDAV. JANUARY 23, 1934 NUMBER 6 HOURS FOR CWA WORKERS CUT TO 24 PER WEEK a We reached our destination at Babson Park, Monday afternoon, having left Esthervllle Wednesday morning. 'The trip here was ant considering the time of year. Ice was treacherous as far as highway 169 east of Swea City, where we went south as far as No. 18 near Algona.

Somehow the road patrol man on No. 9 east of Esthervllle do not understand how to scrape the ice from the highways as well as others do elsewhere for that was the only highway covered with Ice and snow. From Gamer we went south on No. IS as far as Ames and then east on No. 30 to Belle Platne where we made a short cut southeast to No.

6, the main highway to Davenport by way of Iowa City. Our first night out was Davenport. The next day we continued our Journey by way of Princeton, LaSalle, Bloomlngton, Champlaln, and Danville, Illinois, and from there to Vlncennes, Indiana, where We spent our second night. The third days' itinerary was Evans- vllle, where we crossed the Ohio river, Hopklnsville and Madison, both in Kentucky to Nashville, Tennessee, over the Dixie highway. Leaving Nashville, we went south over No.

31 and stopped if or the night at Pulaski, Tennessee. The fourth day we continued on No. 31 via Birmingham and Montgomery, Alabama to Dothan Alabama, where we visited for the night In a 1st home owned by a real southern gentleman, a native of the state and a Hoover democrat. He is a Mason of distinction, being past grand high priest of the grand chapter and past eminent grand commander of the grand comman dery of Alabama. He is also member of the Shrine temple of Montgomery.

He was at the national Shrine meeting when held In Portland, Oregon and says the Iowa Shrlners when singing the Iowa corn song in the parade attracted more favorable attention than any other state aggregation. At Dothan is a beautiful Masonic temple and this gentleman seemed very proud of It when showing us through the interior. He is the custodian. From Dothan we went southeast as far as Marlanna, Florida, for From there we contln ued by way of the Spanish TraiO through 1 Qulncy, Tallahassee and Lake City where we "met up" with the Dixie highway that we left at Nashville. The Dixie highway goes by way of Chattanooga.

We fol lowed the Dixie trail as far south as Leesburg where we connected with No. 5 which we followed as far as Auburndale by way, of'Mas cotte, Groveland and Polk City. From Auburndale, we reached our destination by way of Winter Haven and Lake Wales. Our light night out was at Odala, a very attractive city, made famous by Silver Springs', one of the great attractions of Florida. The route by way of Birmingham is not traveled as much by Florldb tourists as Is the Dixie by way of Chattanooga but nevertheless from Nashville it is through a very beautiful and mountainous country, with plenty of curves and high places for thrills but not very dangerous.

Mrs. Nichols and Dean Clark were the only members of the party who had any notion of getting out of the car. The entire distance traveled was nearly nineteen hundred miles. Orvllle Anderson was at the wheel practically all the way. He is a very careful driver.

There were no mishaps enroute and the weather satisfactory. From Vlncennes to a little south of Nashville It rained some but the balance of the way It was clear and Just warm enough to be O. K. The expense of the trip was not great. It averaged for eats and rooms for nine dollars for each person.

The Nash required about a gallon of gas for each 13 VJ miles and the price varied from cents a gallon in Illinois and Indiana to 25V4 cents in Alabama where they have a ten cents tax on gasoline. There is paving the entire distance from Esthervllle to all of the Important sections of Florida and with the exception of about one hundred miles the paving is In prime condition. The one hundred miles Is in short distances along the way and only rough but not BO bad that you can't travel along a forty mile pace. We can cheerfully recommend the route for com fort, scenic beauty and historical Interest. Reduction Made Over Entire New Names Added Francis Kennedy received a telegram from E.

H. Mulock Friday morning Informing him that the hours of the CWA workers were to be cut from thirty hours to twenty-four hours a week. Ihe body of the message reads. "Reduce hours worked per week on Local and Federal projects to keep within the money available. You are herewith instructed that effective January 19 all per delm workers are to work twenty-fours hours per week.

All clerical, supervisory and professional workers paid by the week are to work a mlxlmum of thirty hours per week with twenty- five per cent wage reduction for nil CWA and CWS employees. This must be effective from this date If current payroll week has already exceeded the hours provided work must stop, until the next payroll week. No lost time can be made up. No name shall be added to any payroll after this date." The reduction of hours and the payroll is being done all over the state. In counties that do not have a town of over 2500 popualtlon the) hours are cut in half.

While in the counties that have towns over 2500 population the hours are only cut to twenty-four. V-R BOARD NAMES L. L. BOGGESS AS COUNTY ENGINEER BANGII Another New Year's Resolution- By Albert T. Reid OH, BR0KEM YOUR.

Among the num ber are the rich and the poor; those who should go and those who should not; the he hitch hiker and the she hitch hiker; some in tears and blasted hopes; and some in smiles and gladness in their hearts. The young are here and so are derelicts who hope to prolong life a lltte longer by loafing around in the sunshine of Florida, But even with a big tourist bust ness conditions in the state are bad. Three years of low prices for fruit has put most of the growers on the "hummer," Most of them are financial wrecks and unable to car ry on without a loan from the government. Prices are still below the cost of production, so there is no relief until prices Improve. Of course when fruit prices collapse all other businesses go to the dogs.

And what has made matters worse here is the strike by the pickers, packers, and all other labor connected with production and market ing of fruit, which has extended over a period of six weeks and Just' brought to a close last Friday, with nothing gained by the strikers. Their demands were so obviously outrageous that to have granted them would have been simply suicide on the part of the The atmosphere Is still impregnated with a spirit of unrest and communism. NRA has surely raised the devil in the south. But even as bad as it is here it is no worse than elsewhere. Of course where the government has loaned millions to the com growers of the north and to the cotton grower of the south recovery seems to be on the way and conditions better.

But we will have to wait a year or so before we know whether the 'new deitV' is a square one that will help the country permanently or Just a nob le experiment. In the north with many it is starve and freeze; in Florida with some it is Just starve. So take your choice. It is very dry here. They have had no soaking rain since the storm In September.

On the high lands fruit is holding well on the trees and the quality of oranges and grape fruit Is still excellent. Orville Anderson likes the coun try. He is with us and Is keeping out of mischief by pruning citrus trees. The Lake Fremont Farmers' club the oldest farm club in Martin county, celebrated its 20th anniversary In the Dunnell school auditorium, January 18. A good representation of former members answered roll call as well as nearly all the present members.

After a fine dinner the afternoon was taken up by a very interesting program.
