Show Hoover Gets Applause Says Local Scribs By Robert Crookston I Editor, Cache American: j Seems strange that Mr. Heaver gets so much appiause vou d nmncing and ridiculing the poli-i poli-i cias and programs oi our reco.ry machinery. It reminds us of the fellows ve saw in a bank, getting $700.00 for keeping part of, his farm .out ol production. This fellow I am telling abou was standing there with a bunch of small bills, enough to chose an eephant and al the while mailing mail-ing a speech about how wo.nod he was of "where all this money is coming from". To my humble way of thinking one of the most striking features of our recovery program is the radio playette, or drama, wmch ls sp-nsored by the Federal Government. Govern-ment. These, little dramas corn? each Thursday at 6:45 a. m. !.ve. CBS and are for the purpose ;i educating farmers in the slumming districts how to take advantage of the rehabilitation, or resettlement administration, which advances loans to those who shew sens of life. I don't know why these radio playettes are necessary, unless it is for farmers who do nat :oad, and I know there are such because be-cause I have seen just such when I have ben out in r.ural districts installing bath rooms. Believe it or don't, but if it was not for the children who visit around and sea their progressive pro-gressive neighbors with sanitary equipment, and then go home and convert their mothr, then the mother mo-ther and kids get busy and make up their dad's mind to buy plumbing plumb-ing fixtures. I am a little off the subject, but my idea was to prove that there really are people who do not read and that is why the radio-drama is necessary. I have been in homes where the only literature in sight was mailorder mail-order house catalogues and motion mo-tion picture magazines. Useful literature, such as the Cache American, and Literary Digest Di-gest are unknown in several farm home, so I also want to call attention at-tention to th printed radio-programs that are woefully unreliable, unrelia-ble, that is why I am presuming to believe that some people did not know abdut the Federal Government's Govern-ment's radio broadcast over CBS Thursday at 6:45, explaining how a widow can borrow money for baby chicks and also money to buy flour while the chickens are growing. Far be it from me to trespass uprn the intelligence of anyone so yea people who know all the things I -have said,' just skip it. Allright, so much for the rehabilitation reha-bilitation administration. The term, slumming districts as applied to farming, . was explained as being and applying to people who own land and need a small loan quickly without much red-tape. red-tape. Quite amusing to hear about this governor of the Canadian Province of Alberta, he expects to give each adult person $35.00 per month. Hope it proves successful, it may give strength and popularity popular-ity to our own Townsend plan. The Logan C of C puts on a program over KSL each Thursday at 1 o'clock. Today, Feb. 13th, on Hendricks, principal of the Richmond high-school, high-school, address he told us about Richmond and among the high points and something extremely commendable is that Richmond city has no banded debts. The pea crop in that vicinity brings an average of $137.03 per acre. |
