TROOP ONE GIRL SCOUTS The Girl Scouts of troop one had a very delightful program Monday ev ening which was featured by an Inter esting address by the Rev. C. A. Cal- cote, pastor of Aveleigh Presbyterian church. The girls were elated to learn that quarters had been secured at the coun ty fair grounds for the regular Mon day night meetings which will be at the jockies quarters. These quarters were secured through the efforts of Mr. T. E. Davis, Mr. Homer Schum- pert, Mr. Alan Johnstone and our leader, Mrs. B. V. Chapman. Various articles for euipping the quarters were contributed by loyal and patriotic citizens of Newberry. The Scouts were glad to serve at the Silver tea for the traveling li brary Friday afternoon at headquar ters. The troop donated one book to the library. Bettie Jo Counts, Scribe HARE REPLIES TO CRITICISM (Continued from page one) innocent beverage; whether they made contributions to the church and how much, whether the family avail ed themselves of the opportunities for amusemtent and the amount of the annual bill. The particular schedule from which I am reading shows a detailed description of the house fur nishings in one family, as follows: All old and of the cheapest make. Sitting room contains a bed, couch, sewing machine, a washstand, and a few chairs. Other bedrooms contain beds and chairs only. The kitchen contains a stove and table with nec essary pots and pans. Window shades and curtains of the cheapest material. The sitting room had mats for covering and other rooms were bare. The only pictures of any kind on the wall are the family re cords hanging above the fireplace Proceeding further it says: The oldest girl and oldest boy go to the city and sometimes attend the theater or moving-picture show. The boys congregate in the company store in the evenings. Sometimes they go to church and to Sunday school. The same Government report from which I am now reading, found in volume 16 of the report of the Com missioner of Labor, 1910, illustrates the character of the study, investiga tion, or census made by giving an in ventory of the wardrobe of each mem ber of the family. And from the standpoint of privacy. I hesitate to read into the record all the inquiries made and articles named in response thereto, but to show the housing cen sus bill now being discussed and crit icized does not contemplate inquiries near so embarrassing as those con tained in the schedules back in 1908 when the special census or investi gation already referred to was taken, I read from this same volume on page 44 where it recites a rather complete inventory of articles bought for one of the daughters of the family (age 21) and the amounts paid for such articles. I quote: One cloth suit valued at $25; 1 linen suit, $12; 3 cotton waists, $3; 2 per cale waists, 60 cents; 1 linen skirt, $2; 1 Persian lawn dress, $6.50; 4 calico dresses, $2.42; 1 gingham dress, 95 cents; 1 silk petticoat, $6; 6 cotton petticoats, $6.60; 4 pairs cotton drawers, $1.87; 2 corsets, $2; 6 corset covers, $3j 4 cotton nightgowns, $4; 3 straw hats, $12; 23 pairs of stock ings, $7; 5 pairs shoes, $11.50; 1 pair silk gloves, $2— And so forth. The point I am try ing to illustrate is that the schedules of 1908 certainly contained inquiries that went much further into the privacy of the home and the indi vidual than the inquiries contemplated in the proposed schedule for taking a housing census. If the schedule exhibited here today contained inquir ies designed to find out the number and quality of underclothes worn by the mothers and daughters of this country I would certainly vote against this appropriation. Mr. Chairman, to come before this House and argue against the appro priation on the ground that it is a trespass upon the privacy of the home for the first time in the history of this country is absurd. As I said at the outset, I do not care to enter in to an argument as to the wisdom, propriety, or the economic value of these inquiries, but I do want to sub mit that it is not a new undertaking on the part of this Government. I assume the purpose of the inquiry is somewhat similar to the purpose of the investigation or special census made in 1907, 1908, and 1910 when the alleged purpose was to make in quiry into the social, educational, and economic condition of women and child wage earners in the United States. If we had the right, then, if we had the authority then, and if we could do it then withoout trespassing upon the privacy or rights of the people, I see no reason why it can not be done today with equal pro priety.

Mrs. Forrest Summer, with a group of NYA workers, is very busy planting, pruning and spraying shrubs on all civic league grounds. The city coun cil is sponsoring this project. All pub lic grounds will be landscaped and beautified under the direction of the Civic League. On account of the ice and heavy snow many of the Civic League shrubs have been bent over and brok en. This group of workers is prun ing out, staking and re-shaping many shrubs. The shubbery around the Old Court House looks very much better since it has been given expert attention. Memorial Square is mow more attractive, a very big piece of landscaping will be done at the rear of the New Court House, the rock wall on Thompson street will be set back to the City line, giving much needed space at the rear of the Conrt House grounds. Shrubbery will be taken up there, the grounds graded, rolled, and landscaped. Low shrubbery will be planted against the annex. County officials will assist in the work done at the New Court House. The 5.000 shrubs at Margar et Hunter Park will he pruned, spray ed and fertilized. The grounds there will be nut in readiness for the open ing of the Park and Pool. It is the plan of the Civic League to landscape the Fire House grounds, the munici pal stadium with the cooperation of officials there. Landscaping of the grounds at the World War Memorial building is planned. The shrubbery at the Fair ground, hospital ground, Newberry college campus and the cemetery will be given attention as early as possible. The cooperation of the public is asked by the members of the Civic League in this big undertaking which means so much to the beauty and at tractiveness of our city. Under the leadership of the Civic League the house on Marion Davis play ground has been remodeled, en larged and put in readiness for use as a play school center. Around 25 children attend this play school. The Civic League is responsible for the management, attractiveness and use fulness of the Marion Davis play ground. If you wish to have a part in the big work the Civic League is doing in the city of Newberry you can help by making a contribution of money, shrubbery or fertilizer. The Civic League has just received a gift of $50.00 worth of bamboo from H. O. Swittenberg, Manager of the Nehi bottling company in Newben-y. This gift is deeply appreciated. There are many places where the league can use this bamboo to advantage. Any other gift or donation will be gladly accepted. Please telephone 283 and ask that your contribution be called for. Many people working together can do big things for Newberry. The Civic League will appreciate your as sistance. Mrs. C. W.
