His invigorating personality , ma& and held for him scores of friends who appreciatetl hiK fine qualities and rec ognized tbt' place of usefulness he held in this community. Mr. Bailey wa/s a fine type of busi ness mariBand a tireless worker. Be- ftijk-s his own large business inter^ts, he serve<l well liis home town which he (leeply loved, and was always ready to do hisS j)art by responding to every call that had for its object the building of a greater and hotter city. He loved the college, the orphan- tho.,sch.wl» hi» W».a«troyer, friends, his church. He was a builder, j a man of unlimited faith, courage and cne'fgy. ' mV.

Nobody’s Business By Gee McGee TO AID OUR YOUTH The President of the United States has set aside $50,000,000 otit of the huge work relief fund to establish the National Youth Administration to help young people between the ages of 16 and 25. This “Youth Project” if handled properly, could be of immense service to-^ the nation. On the other hand if K is not set up under the prop er leadership and so safeguarded that it will accomplish its intended purpose, ^ can quickly result in just another dole. The plan,has as its objectives; To find employment in private in dustry for unemployed youth. To train and retrain young people for industrial, technical and profes sional employment opportunities. To proviite for continuing attend ance at high school and college. To provide "work relief upon pro jects designed to meet the needs of youth. Whether or not this project succeeds in its announced purposes, it is at least a commendable attempt. Its success or failure will depend upon a great many factors, but particularly upon the in telligence and ability with which it is swiministered. It' is hoped that it will not prove just another^dde.
