V ^ THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1932. THE BARNWELL PEOPLB-SENTIN EL, BARNWELL. SOUTH CAROLINA *4. fAOB * t FEDERAL BUILDING ’ PLANS SUPPLY JOBS A Treasury Department Ready to Begin 142 Structures. Washington.—Using funds from the ?100,000,(XK) granted by the emergency relief and construction act passed by the last session of congress, a federal public bbUding program that will ulti mately give employment to hundreds of thousands of men is under way throughout the country. That 400,0(10 persons are at present employed in connection with some phrase of the construction of 41 post offices, custom houses, and other build ings was pointed out in Washington by Ferry K. Heath, assistant secre tary of the treasury, who is director of the building program. A total of 100,000 are actually engaged in work ing on th» buildings and 300,000 others in fabricating and material plants, he said. Meanwhile, plans are being made to launch work on 142 more such con struction projects, in 35 states involv ing an outlay of $20,810,000. This list includes new federal buildings that win cost between $300,000 and $100,- 000 each. The 41 projects now being greeted each will cost more than $300,- 000. Workmen in the West have also been encouraged by the act of the Recon struction Finance corporation in grant ing a $40,000,000 loan to the Los An geles metropolitan water district, which covers more than a dozen south ern California cities. This loan is to aid in piping water from the Colorado river above Hoover dam at a final cost of about $220,000,- (Hto. The loan will be made through the purchase of $4^,000,000 of 5 per cent bonds of the water district. Huge Sum Not Allocated. In announcing the loan, officials in 1 Washington said that 1,000 men prob ably would be employed by the end of this year and about 4,500 by next July. Resides creation of employment di rectly on construction work, much in direct employment will be created, for a vast amount of materials and sup plies will be required. The aqueduct itself will be 230 miles long. Eighty- five miles of 10-foot tunnel must be driven through the mountains and lined with concrete. Of the $100,000,000 set aside by the last congress through the emergency relief and construction act as a means of providing employment through a public building program. $74,500,000 has thus far been allocated, leaving $25,500,000 yet Jo he assigned. It is expected that tire greater part of this balance will be distributed for the con struction of federal buildings that are to cost less than $100,000 each. This third list of construction jobs will he forthcoming soon, according to announcement made at the time the second list was made public. In the list of 142 projects costing between $300,000 and $100,000 each. New York state leceives the largest number of projects, 24. California is second, with 17. Of the 35 states re ceiving such buildings, only 12 re ceived but one structure. Another federal agency, the War de partment, is also planning to provide work through a vast construction pro gram. This program calls for the ex penditure of $41,577,200 on tlood con trol and rivers and harbors projects. By this program War department offi cials expect 25,000 persons to be re moved from the ranks of the Jobless. No delay in getting the program un der way is expected by army engi neers. Many of the projects already have been started, and plans have be^n drfiwn up for the rest. Under authorization of the last con gress, the War department also ex- l»ect8 to spend $15,164,000 on construc tion work at military posts. This is expected to begin soon, and officials believe it will give work to 10,000 persons. In announcing the fact that 400,000 persons are now at work on federal construction projects under the emer gency relief and construction act, Di rector Heath said that by June 30, 1933, the government will have under contract virtually 90 per cent of the public works necessary for the next 25 years. It is expected that milions of dollars will be saved the government when the, construction of large working post offices is completed. Among the large post offices now under construc tion are those at New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago, Kansas City, Atlanta, and Albany, N. Y. Through the use of private archi tects for many of the projects, prog ress in carrying out the building pro gram has been speeded up more than 100 per cent. Since the program was begun, contracts have been made with 264 architectural firms for plans on buildings representing a cost of more than $200,000,000. During the last ten months 105 fed eral buildings have been completed at a total cost of about $310,000,000, ac cording to Mr. Heath. » a < 77/^. * a , > ^ Mg Up LA •> - ' \ For Women’s Aches and Pains ’•Sngjfc New Invention gives all FIVE qualities of perfect lubricant.

Farm Agent News. Farm Facts. Farmers have about finished gath ering a small c ,tton crop. On’y one or two other years have shown a smaller yirld; then factors were largely responsible for the low yield. Reduced acreage, small amount of fertilizer u^ed and poor seasons, no doubt this c!Oip wa s grown at less cost than any other in recent years, which was Well because of the small yield and lew price received for much of it. Grain planting is now in full swing, and farmers are urged to treat seed cats before planting. A large acre age will be found very valuable to be used as feed, grazing and turning under as cover crop. Oats may he used as a large part of the grain feed for the different kinds of live stock. Good stands of Austrian peas aie being secured. Those farmers who have not yet planted are urged to do so at once, as it is getting rather late after November 1st. For a supply of home-cured meat, faimers should be feeding their hogs a full ration t of corn along with some fish meal and cotton seed meal mixed equal parts. The amount of corn will give much larger returns when so fed.—By H. G. Boylston, Co. Agt. ADVERTISE in The People-Sentinel Ashleigh News.

K. F. Meyer, Ph.D.. Hooper Foundation for Medical Research, University of California, said: “Home preserved vegetables, fruits, fish and meats have been the products responsible, with the exception of two cases of botulism traced to shalots packed in Italy. Commercially pre served foods have not been con nected with any of the recognized cases of botulism since 1925 . . . Continuous vigilant supervision and far reaching education have been responsible for the removal of the botulinus menace from the commercial packing industry.” “Home canned string beans,” he said later, “continue to play a very important role, largely due to the well known fact that spoilage of this vegetable when preserved is so slight that the housewife or cook will often fail to detect it. Furthermore, string beans are~Tfequehtly served as salads and any odor which migh arouse suspicion is usually masked by the vinegar or may onnaise dressing. Home canned corn has also been a frequent offender. . . . “From a public health stand point it is imperative that the principles developed by the can ning industry be applied to the methods of home canning.”* VI M Ostrich Not Set Down “Unclean” in Holy Writ It has been thought by many com mentators that the ostrich was reck oned amongst unclean animals, and that the writer of I^evlticus 11:16. meant that bird by the word which is set down as owl In our ordinarily used version of the Bible. But It can hardly be considered wise to hold that Moses, the reputed original writer of Leviticus, was so completely ignorant of the natural history of the wilder ness that he was misled into confus ing the name of an owl for that of the ostrich! Nor were copyists very likely to make such a blunder. Owls do live In desert places, and as expe rience In the Great American desert of the United States shows, exist in conjunction with serpents upon which they feed. If unclean at all it would only be on account of its omniverous habits which lead It to swallow almost any thing it can obtain. But most likely the ostrich was left out of considera tion altogether in the compilation of the clean and unclean lists, ns being unlikely ever to he met with in the Land of Promise. Although the fact Is not mentioned In Holy Writ, it Is true that ostriches’ eggs have always been used for food by travelers, and there Is no authen tic old tradition which exempted. Jews from such custom.—Exchange. Distinctive Titles of Which Cities Are Proud Pavia. Italy, is called-the City of a Hundred Towers, and the name Is self-explanatory as Is many others.
