CHIVALRY 18 NOT DEAD
A preacher in New York city "laments"
the passing of chivalry.
This buaineHH of lamenting something
or other is quite popular with
sotnq people, but it does not actually
"Cut much ice."
What chivalry, anyway?
Ih it merely taking off one's hat to
women, acquaintances in the street
and giving up seats in the street car?
Is it merely going about with a
blare of trumpets to help an occasional
poor and unfortunate neighbor? j
Or is it something deeper and more j
substantial In our attitude, which ack-;
nowledges woman its an equal and en- |
titled to the same rights and privi-'
leitrs and opportunities as men?
Ami is it perhaps the more practi-'
ral and not less altruistic effort to i
build up a society in which knight- !
hood shall he pportuuity of every
man?

Many Employed On
Resettlement Work
Montgomery, Ala., Murch 10.- The
I,ami I'till/ation Division of the Resettlement
Administration lias paused
fitu promised peak load of security
wuge workers in South Carolina, with
f>,11+ H at work as this week opened.
(>f this numher 4,717 are on ugrlcultural
demonstration projects, the
peak load on which last October wan
estimated at 3,330, to he reached uot
later than June 30, 1936, according
to Robert W. (l'ete) iludgcuH. region
al director of the KA. The excess on
these projects is 1,381, bringing the
average for South Carolina projects
above expectations, although the employment
load on one of two park
projects Is yet below early estiijiates.
With 113 men employed at the beginning
of the week, the Kings Mountain
recreational area is expected to
go beyond its <juota of 309 within a
< H week*. Utile increase oil iJie
Clieia w recreational area and the
three stgrictillural projects is expected.
Labor lor de vely pment of these
projects is supplied by the WI'A state
oil ices through the Cnited States Employment
Service. All persons emplo>ed
are being paid the security
wage provided fur in expenditure of
Hinds made available by the Emergency
Relief Appropriation Act of 1935.
The security wage varies between
counties, depending on poulation.
Residents of the project areas are
being certified for reemployment as
"land Utilization clients" to whom employment
was promised when they
agreed to sell their land to the government.
The RA will aid all residents
in relocating on better land
nearby to enable them to supplement
farm income with income front labor
on the projects.
All these projects, according to
Hudgens, "are designed to demonstrate
the feasibility of giving stranded
and former relief families a new
start on land better adapted to agriculture;
to convert non-profit producing
areas into uses that will benefit
the people of South Carolina; and to
give work, thiough the development
phases, fo persons who otherwise
would he unemployed."
true- chivalry is a fiend and forgotten
sentiment.
It is just what some people cannot
understand chivalry as anything

against armor. Rock Hill Herald.

HATTIE GREEN, "FLOPPER"
Hattie Green, colored, was op.e of
the most accomplished "floppers" that
ever faked an accident and collected
damages on a fraudulent callm.
Hattje, it appeared, simply couldn't
i maintain an upright position. Regularly.
Hahie fell on banana peels,
usually in department stores. If there
weren't any peels around, she brought
$
one along or tripped over something
else. Of course, she usually managed
to collect damages for her falls. She !
had a friendly doctor who certified i
to her "injuries"?injuries whoso
nature must often have amazed Hattie
herself. The doctor said they wi re ;
there, but she couldn't feel them.
Then, the searchlight of the Index i
I'.iip an System, maintained by the !
National Bureau of Casualty and Surety
Cnderwriters, swung on llattie's
falling proclivities. Her real downfall
came as a result of her overstrong
imagination. A "runner" who
kept Hattie posted on things about
town, hurried to her one day and told
her that there had been an explosion
in the service garage of a bus company.
Hattie immediately fell into
an awful state of pain and ache. She
had an ambulance called, and at the
hospital said she-had been passing
the garage when the explosiou occurred.
A short time later she filed
a claim for damages against the bus company.
What Hattie didn't know was that
she was now a marked woman and
that the suspicious records of other
exploits had caught up with her. Hattie
never collected any damages from <
that explosion. Site went to the
penitentiary instead.
