1 AUTO MIGRANT SEEN
BY SOCIAL WORKERS
AS FAMILY MENACE
DENVER, Colo., June 30. (A5)—The
automobile migrant came in for criti
cism today at a divisional meeting
of the National Conference of Social
Work when Miss Adaline Fuffington,
of Salt Lake City, opened a discus
sion on the subject before a group
discussing the family.
Declaring that the West owed its
development to the pioneer spirit of
adventure and initiative, Miss Buf
fington scored the present day mi
grants who “pack their belongings,
including babies, furniture, dogs, cats,
and canaries, into a worn-out auto
mobile and start out with little mon
ey, no idea of where they are going
and with reckless disregard as to
how they are going to live on the
way.
“The old pioneers made an end of
their wanderings and settled a coun
try; many of the present migrants
wander ceaselessly and use the
plight of their children as an appeal
for a livelihood,” she said. “And the
children? Life in the open is heal
thy enough at times, but what about
their education and the effects of
this roving upon their habits? Have
! we a new tribe of gypsies in the
j making? Will the next generation
' know any trade or have any indus
! try?
The characteristics of these famil
i ies as seen thru the eyes of some
! hundred agencies west of the Mississ
ippi River, the reasons for their
! travels and the dificultties of deal
j ing with them were discussed and
! remedies proposed.
In the division of neighborhood
! and community life, Walter Burr,
I professor of sociology at Kansas
I State Agricultural College, said a
! great deal of harm is done in all
attempts at community building by
the determination of certain theor
ists to build their communities to
ward a preconceived ideal.
“It is not our business to build
rural communities after a preconceiv
j ed ideal,” the speaker said. “It is
; our business to enter life of a com
| munity exactly as it actually is now,
: help to release the resident forces
for expression, study the process by
which they continue, when released,
to proceed from lower to higher.
Anything else than this partakes of
despotism, however benevolent the
intention may be.
“Social workers are usually the
worst sort of benevolent tyrants. The
1 community needs an awakening of
self-consciousnes-s, information as to
its powers and its relationships,
knowledge of the sources of aid when
aid is wanted—and a severe letting
! alone. Anv rural community might

rect correlation with rural communi
ty progress generally and with its
own environment particularly.”
Lack of interest by the reading
public in good work on the part of
social welfare organizations was de- j
plored by J. L. Gillin, professor of
sociology at the University of Wis
consin, in an address.
Three remedies were proposed by
Professor Gillin to ‘‘sell human ser
vice” to the people:
First, the proper presentation of
constructive human interest stories;
Second, Addresses by social work
ers as publicity;
Third, Public exhibits of ‘‘woeful
ly neglected individuals.”
Judge ‘Framed’ by Friends
Armed with Gift of Silver
NEW ORLEANS, June 30. (/P)—
“Well, what have you to say for
yourself?” said Judge Emile Leonard
rather severely when Benjamin Hal
pern, a jeweler, was brought before
him recently, charged with “disturb
ing the peace.”
“Well, you see it's like this, Judge,”
replied Halpern, and to the police 1
court judge’s surprise he drew forth
a silver loving cup, made a neat
speech and presented it to his hon
or.
The cup was given by a group of
Judge Leonard’s friends to commem
orate his re-election; and Halpern
explained that the charge of dis
turbing the peace” was framed up
to facilitate the novel presentation.
Judge Leonard thanked the donors
and did not forget to add, “Case
dismissed.”

MANILA, June 30. (^—Construc
tion of a reenforced concrete build
ing for the Army and Navy Y. M.

building which is to be four stories

for 600 men.
Prohibitionists should not despair
because, scientists say it took the
Sahara desert several thousand years
to become entirely dry.
