Printed by Utah Valley FnbUshln Co., 17 North Pirn West Street, Provo, Iuh, Entered aa Meoad claae matter at the Poet Office in Provo, Utah, under the aet of March S, 187$ Humanity Day: Provo is observing Humanity Day today, publicly , celebrating it by attending the "Bowl of Rice" party tonight in the stake tabernacle. The day was set aside as such by the Mayors proclamation to be dedicated to the salvation of perishing human beings, to an avowal of faith in peace and a protest against war. In 2000 other cities in United States similar observance of the day is being held. We congratulate Mrs. Christen Jensen, general chairman; Mrs. II. B. Mensel, program chairman ; W. R. Butler, ticket sale chairman ; and all the other public spirited men and women who have worked wholeheartedly to make the day a success. And now without detracting from the splendid service they have performed, nor minimizing the importance of Ora particular cause for which they worked that of the Wfering Chinese may we point out that Humanity Day is dedicated to suffering humanity? living now!" But the facts are that where this has been tried out the doctors are getting more cash and are making a better living than they ever did before. And the peoples health is improving, untimely death is being driven from the hospitals, and child welfare is being looked after right in the home, where it ought to be, instead of in public clinics where the cost is assessed against the community. Is this thing worth investigating? Are you interested? Do you want better health? Does your family need attention? Well, if Humanity Day means anything to you, it ought to start at home.

We have among us conditions needing our unselfish attention quite as much as do the Chinese over in China. We have childrenfor example, in this community, hundreds of them, who are suffering now, and will suffer for life, whose lives will be shortened by many years, unless they receive medical and dental attention immediately. Ask Dr. Sidney B. Sperry and any of his assistants on the Child Welfare committee what the true conditions are, and if your heart doesnt ache, it is made of stone. Go farther afield too, and take a look around you at the serious condition of the health of the people generally in the matter of medical care. Thousands are neglecting to go to their doctor because of the financial burdens involved. Medical aid is denied, not to the rich who can afford it, nor to the extremely poor who are being cared for by government aid, but to the great bulk of the middle class, to whom you and I belong, simply because we have too much pride and self respect left to incur debts wre cannot pay. The cost of medical aid is, prohibitive to the majorof our citizens, not because the doctors will not serve ity without pay, (they do it now too much fir their own welfare,) but because of financial conditions forcing most of us to be mighty cat ul how we spend our money. Proof of these conditions was showm in the Sunday issue of the Salt Lake Trihune in an article by George Gallup, director of American Institute of Public Opinion. It was shown there conclusively that the majority of Americans are anxious to find some solution to the pressing need of medical cre, and that Public Opinion favors some Health Insurance plan whereby doctors can be paid for keeping their patients well rather than getting them ' ' well after they have become sick. Health Insurance has been tried out, in small and larger communities and it is working. Are we so stubwill not give ear or lend a hand born in Provo that to the solution of one of our greatest problems.

Criticism of WPA Draws Fire In Provo Following are some of the statements made by Bowers, and alongside are the WPA sponsors replies. The local WPA workers have not yet formulated their reply, but are meeting tonight in the city court room where they will take definite resolution regarding the matter. Prank Bowers Statements: The WPA is a great joke and tragedy of recent years. If the billions that have been fed to this great octopus had been expended on worthwhile public works through priday-lab- vate enterprise, by use of contract system, the nation would have had the greatest era of public works construction in tbe history of civilization. WPA thrives on waste and inhas created a efficiency and horde of shovel-leanerUtah private construction industry is backed by professional knowledge and millions In equipment and funds. They should ba permitted to go to work by the Job, not by the hour, and let us take relief laboring gangs ard re-- i establish pride in them and make them earn their livings. The contractor protects the public against jerry builders and haywire competition by regulations calling for qualifications as to skill, integrity, and responsibility on the part of the bidders. No expert opinion In this country costa bo little to obtain aa that obtained by the guaranteed bids submitted In open competition by a group of contractors, each ready to back up his opinion in cash." a. - Grecnwell'a Comment: Darrell J. Greenwell, Utah WP A administrator, commented upon 1 Bowers criticisms of the WTPA in a bulletin to officials and workers: We are distributing about $600,000 per month in wages to WPA workers on WPA Jobs. If were contract Jobs, the these Modern would take at least 10 per cent out, or $60,000 a month. That $60,000 would eny rich a handful of contractors.

Provo, Utah - 478 ' , 80)95 Phone MONDAY Mayor. Anniversary Sale I agree with Mr. Bowers that many fine structures of Utah are monuments to contractors and architects, but contractors employ few persons from the relief rolls, It provides purchasing power at the bottom and it also provides projects which also are splendid monuments. "If WPA were aa inefficient and wasteful aa Mr. Bowers Charges, counties, cities, towns, and school boardk would not be doing business with us and Mr. Bowers would have nothing to cry about. "Mr. Bowers has every right to battle for his group and to laud their accomplishments, but he should do it without making trackless charges aghlnst an agency that is providing subst-enc- e for 11,000 heads of Utah families. "I think it is rather cheap for the president of the contractors to call these 11,000 needy persons shovel leaners. "Mr Bowers Implies the WPA workers have lost their pride and he would restore their pride by putting them on the contractors payroll. They are on the pay. uil of the United StateB government today. Does Bowers contend his contractors have more, prestige and dignity than the good old U. "Mr, Bowers statement that WPA projects cost the public 100 per cent more than if done by contract is ridiculous and he can-- i not support it, and I would like Mr. Bowers to name some WPA library and perhaps one more small project on a Forty Five per cent grant from the government and fifty five perceut from tbf city general fund. If W.P.A. Is abandonee for . W.A. every taxing unit in the state will soon be flat broke and unable to provide work or relief of any kind for thousands of destitute people.
