XLIII NAZARETH, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 4, 1934 No. Relief Easily Obtained By Permanent Improvement i of Three Local Highways The Nazareth-Bethlehem, Stockertown-Easton and Nazareth-Tatamy Proposed Road Projects Would Considerably Relieve Present Relief Situation In A Just and Equitable Way. Last week we pubUshed the senll-. ment expressed by a Tatamy resl-| dent regarding the condition ot the| Nazareth-Tatamy black-top road. | This week we are publishing below | another correspondence addressed to the editor of THE ITEM, and which coincides with the editorial publish¬ ed in last weeks issue under the heading of: "Where Is AU The States Money?" In part, the edi¬ torial read as follows: "Motorists of Pennsylvania, who are paying be¬ tween 150,000,000 and |60„000,000 In motor Ucense fees and gaaolUie Uxes every year. wlU have Uttle patience with the proposal that has stirred the specUI session at Harrisburg, to transfer inoney from the motor ve¬ hicle fund to pay the costs of relief. They know that this fund Is sacred to the highways and when they become fuUy aroused to the discri¬ mination to which diversion will sitoject them they wlU Vet their wrath become forcibly known*. Continuing the tdltcirtal reac'|: "With thousands of dollars pouring Into the State's treasury within the next few months, and which have been poured Into these same chan¬ nels for many years, let's get down to business and .iccomplish the things for which they are Int nded. Spent the money for labor and m.v- terial and ih'.-reU be relief. There'll also be more relief if some executivei salaries are cut to within reason— and enough money. The following correspondence sets forth clearly l.'ie general sentiment and opinion expre.-'sed by many ci- tiz'cn.s of NaZLir tlv We quote as follows: "To the Editor :- Thc papi-vs recently stated thai the Fed-r.i! Government had allotted mo-.e than S9.000.- 000 to the Stat ¦ lo be used for road con-tru'ction. This Is not a gill, we inuit pay what the Government spends, whether it conu-s froni Wash¬ ington, Harrisburg, County or Township, so let Us spend Nor¬ thampton County s share where It does the most good. We understand the Eastoii- Stockertown roai is to \ie buiil. agitation for Bethlehem-Naza¬ reth Is under way, now let us work for tlie Nazareth-Tatamy road. The Nazareth-Tatamy road needs It badly, It would be a saving In lower maintenance costs local labor could be em¬ ployed which would reduce un¬ employment and relief. Let us build these roads, see what It would mean—they are Ideally located, 1. Centrally located, easily accessible from aU points In the County, It would attract labor from the four comers of the County, 2. The Community would benefit by It—It would be a money saving proposition for the money spent. 3. It would relieve unemploy¬ ment. 4. It would mean work for the stone, sand and cement workers. It would benefit the bullcher, the baker, and the candle-stick maker. 5. It would reduce relief ex¬ penditures. 6. Lighten tax biu'dens lo the tax payer. 7. Il would save the State tho'a;>ands of dollars that are U-ing spenl now to patch and re-surface the Nazareth-Tatamy road. 8. I', would save the self res- p ct of thc un mployed who want worl; rather than relief. Remember wo would have all these benefits at no extra cosl and besides save money for the tax payers. let us set our house in order, and keep houso tlv? way we do at home and work for tho greatest good of the greatest number of people. Ut us build thc three roads— 'ouiidaig thc N.izareth-Tatamy road will mean work for people who want work. U-fs do all in our power to help them get work." Respectfully. 1 Signed p H. P. YEISLEY.

The President says in his proclamation; "Disastrous fires destroy each year proix'rty of many kinds to a total greater than llie whole value of all property in the Nation in the days of our for.'falhers. This loss seriously offsets our normal gain in national a.shets. "It is the simple obligation of every citiiten to realize, knowing thi- thal a large proiwrtion of these fires can l>e prevenled by the exer¬ cise of proper care and by the use of proper fire prevention moa.sures "I call special aif^ntlon to the unfortunate fivci that a very large percentage of fires in every part of the Nation Is caused by acts of individual carelessness and that mil¬ lions of dollars' worth of properly uid be preserved each year by the ^-¦allzatlon on the part of the Indi¬ vidual of his or her responsibility to the commur.ity". It Ls hoped tliat by the exhorta¬ tion of the President's Proclamation and the fire prevention prograni that Is being conducted next week every citizen will respond by heeding the advice for his own secui'iiy. Local plans provide for an in¬ tensive educational campaign in which the press, radio, churche.?. schools, chamber of commerce, fire department and others have b en a.sked to co-operato. There is no doubt that splendid cooi)erau.)n will be given by all these agencies. The lire pi.«,-jntlon committee of the Nuzarelh Chamber of Commerce, which is in charge of this program, can be deijended on lo make it a success. The primary purpose of th^ campaign Is to make the public rea¬ lize ihie great destruction tnat fire causes so that there'may be a bet¬ ter appreciation of what flre pre¬ vention means and a willingness to be observant of the practical safe¬ guards. tary.

Relief Easily Obtained By Permanent Improvement i of Three Local Highways
The Nazareth-Bethlehem, Stockertown-Easton and Nazareth-Tatamy Proposed Road Projects Would Considerably Relieve Present Relief Situation In A Just and Equitable Way.
Last week we pubUshed the senll-. ment expressed by a Tatamy resl-| dent regarding the condition ot the| Nazareth-Tatamy black-top road. | This week we are publishing below | another correspondence addressed to the editor of THE ITEM, and which coincides with the editorial publish¬ ed in last weeks issue under the heading of: "Where Is AU The States Money?" In part, the edi¬ torial read as follows: "Motorists of Pennsylvania, who are paying be¬ tween 150,000,000 and |60„000,000 In motor Ucense fees and gaaolUie Uxes every year. wlU have Uttle patience with the proposal that has stirred the specUI session at Harrisburg, to transfer inoney from the motor ve¬ hicle fund to pay the costs of relief. They know that this fund Is sacred to the highways and when they become fuUy aroused to the discri¬ mination to which diversion will sitoject them they wlU Vet their wrath become forcibly known*.
Continuing the tdltcirtal reac'|: "With thousands of dollars pouring Into the State's treasury within the next few months, and which have been poured Into these same chan¬ nels for many years, let's get down to business and .iccomplish the things for which they are Int nded. Spent the money for labor and m.v- terial and ih'.-reU be relief. There'll also be more relief if some executivei salaries are cut to within reason— and enough money.
The following correspondence sets forth clearly l.'ie general sentiment and opinion expre.-'sed by many ci- tiz'cn.s of NaZLir tlv We quote as follows: "To the Editor :-
Thc papi-vs recently stated thai the Fed-r.i! Government had allotted mo-.e than S9.000.- 000 to the Stat ¦ lo be used for road con-tru'ction.
This Is not a gill, we inuit pay what the Government spends, whether it conu-s froni Wash¬ ington, Harrisburg, County or Township, so let Us spend Nor¬ thampton County s share where It does the most good.
We understand the Eastoii- Stockertown roai is to \ie buiil.
agitation for Bethlehem-Naza¬ reth Is under way, now let us work for tlie Nazareth-Tatamy road.
The Nazareth-Tatamy road needs It badly, It would be a saving In lower maintenance costs local labor could be em¬ ployed which would reduce un¬ employment and relief.
Let us build these roads, see what It would mean—they are Ideally located,
1. Centrally located, easily accessible from aU points In the County, It would attract labor from the four comers of the County,
2. The Community would benefit by It—It would be a money saving proposition for the money spent.
3. It would relieve unemploy¬ ment.
4. It would mean work for the stone, sand and cement workers. It would benefit the bullcher, the baker, and the candle-stick maker.
5. It would reduce relief ex¬ penditures.
6. Lighten tax biu'dens lo the tax payer.
7. Il would save the State tho'a;>ands of dollars that are U-ing spenl now to patch and re-surface the Nazareth-Tatamy road.
8. I', would save the self res- p ct of thc un mployed who want worl; rather than relief.
Remember wo would have all these benefits at no extra cosl and besides save money for the tax payers.
let us set our house in order, and keep houso tlv? way we do at home and work for tho greatest good of the greatest number of people.
Ut us build thc three roads— 'ouiidaig thc N.izareth-Tatamy road will mean work for people who want work. U-fs do all in our power to help them get work."

President Proclaims Week of October 7th As National Fire Prevention Week
lio
/
yT Vl<
In the Interest of ilv> pro.sperity and well-being of the cliizens of thU country, the President has pro¬ claimed next week as National Fire Prevention W«>ek. The President says in his proclamation;
"Disastrous fires destroy each year proix'rty of many kinds to a total greater than llie whole value of all property in the Nation in the days of our for.'falhers. This loss seriously offsets our normal gain in national a.shets.
"It is the simple obligation of every citiiten to realize, knowing thi- thal a large proiwrtion of these fires can l>e prevenled by the exer¬ cise of proper care and by the use of proper fire prevention moa.sures
"I call special aif^ntlon to the unfortunate fivci that a very large percentage of fires in every part of the Nation Is caused by acts of individual carelessness and that mil¬ lions of dollars' worth of properly
uid be preserved each year by the ^-¦allzatlon on the part of the Indi¬ vidual of his or her responsibility
to the commur.ity".
It Ls hoped tliat by the exhorta¬ tion of the President's Proclamation and the fire prevention prograni that Is being conducted next week every citizen will respond by heeding the advice for his own secui'iiy.
Local plans provide for an in¬ tensive educational campaign in which the press, radio, churche.?. schools, chamber of commerce, fire department and others have b en a.sked to co-operato. There is no doubt that splendid cooi)erau.)n will be given by all these agencies. The lire pi.«,-jntlon committee of the Nuzarelh Chamber of Commerce, which is in charge of this program, can be deijended on lo make it a success. The primary purpose of th^ campaign Is to make the public rea¬ lize ihie great destruction tnat fire causes so that there'may be a bet¬ ter appreciation of what flre pre¬ vention means and a willingness to be observant of the practical safe¬ guards.

A very Interesting program has been planned which includes tenne- quolt, relays, dodge ball, human croquet. Individual challenges and luncheon. The teams will be ar¬ ranged so that no two girls from the same high school will be play¬ ing together.
