flood of unwanted ill-fated unhappy human beings who exist in the United States makes the Ohio look like a tin water-spout Not Heralded Like Catastrophe the trouble Is not shoved under our noses like the temporary flood that has killed several hundred persons cost several hundred million dollars and has caused some suffering We are too blind to see it Most of us are too plain lazy and selfish and are trying to save a magnificent civilization by changing the value of the dollar and balancing budgets" Speaking on Civilization Committing Biological Dr Little answered his own question with an emphatic Ne'er Do Wells" are committing suicide very definitely" he declared are blind" Dr Little who is head of the Ros-coe Jackson Memorial Library urged elimination" of chronic do wells" (how he did not say) and more assistance for those who are merely because of circumstances beyond their control He expressed himself in favor of segregation and sterilization of criminals "regardless of the cause of their crime" Unless action Is taken In the control of human production the speaker said he predicts a gradual decline of civilization may be equal in the sight of said Dr Little to attempt to run human society as though God is responsible for faults In physical or emotional endowment la utterly unfair from every standpoint It hurts faith In religion more than It helps it The only chance of

failed last night when John Fairbank Jr of Clay Ward cast the only vote for his motion to amend a paper before tla body to accomplish this purp'se The ordinance which Mr Fairbank sought to amend had nothing to do with the case it merely amended the code to Increase the salary of the clerk of the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court from $3000 to $3600 But Mr Fairbank charged that any raise to any empl-'yee of the city while the pay restorations of the Mayor and his directors languished in the Finnnro Committee was insult to m- Half a dozen members expressed themselves on the subject the prevailing view being that the Finance Committee had tabled the pay restoration paper so that it could be handled along with the budget It was agreed that Council cannot rcslire the salaries simply by changing the figures in the budget but it was insisted that the committee could accompany the budget with a proper ordinance fixing the salaries at their former level Councilman Wilbur Griggs of Jefferson Ward violent opponent of the restorations was equally vigorous in criticizing the Finance Committee for falling to report the pay restoration ordinance so that Council would be forced to a record vote moved to recommend the paper for rejection" he shouted only one member voted with me want to say that the ordinance ought to be brought to the floor of this body and beaten It's been said that the Mayor 'won't play Santa Claus for us sny more unless we play Santa Claus fn: want to ssy I'm in no mood to play Santa Claus for sny people drawing $6500 a The ordinance raising the pay of the

city's 30-day claim on the Mosque to the conference Councllmen Hirschberg and Carpenter agreed that such handling of the city's lease on the auditorium would establish a bad precedent but they succumbed to the fervor of the opposition The resolution authorizing purchssz for 65000 of a site for the new fire engine house wss adopted unanimously the lot being at the northeast comer of Thompson Street and Pit-tenon Avenue Without a dissenting vote the body approved the appropriation of $25000 to be advanced for expenses of ths Bicentennial Commission The acquisition of a lot at the southwest
