Amblep Speaker Broadcasts frorri Reading on Conditions an.J Perils, and the Remedies 'to Be Applied for Relief.
Mrs. .lu-ft spoke .is follows ovor thf radio from ne.-vdin.ur on tho aul>j'cct, "Wh.at Is This Thln's OUled Govern¬ ment'?"
The Hiib.l'oct of today'.t brondo.ast Is i primarily presented in the Interest of the farmer, but food for serious thought upon the part of .iil of the citizena, I tru.st may tie found in ¦what I h.ave to say.
We have a condition in the TTn'ited States, today, whleh has never i>eforc occurred _in the world's history—our financial Tn-stitutlons and many private citizens, with unprecedented wealth to Invest, wealth in money, e.ager to be Tlaeed at work, with apparently no safe place to use this iRTeat lever In i the interest ot the public welfare. That this la true, ¦was evidenced recently, when the United States Government .asked to horrow ?32r),non.nco. and re¬ ceived a tender ot $14,000,000,000 from both banks and individuals, thus showintr the existence of a colossal sum of unemployed mone^.
An'other and equally suiiprlslnir situa¬ tion confronts "us, and a situation also T\'!thout precedent, n.amely. our gran¬ aries   are   full   to   overflowinsr       with
men will do the r,ij?ht above all else, i It must be done that our wonderful country shall not perish from. the ' earth, as a nation. Wo are not well ! served by legislative endeavor to dis¬ miss from service, men and women, to add to the already too large army of unemployed, merely for polltloJil jealousy or party R/iln. We ai-e -not welf served by political endeavor to tear down, or tear apart, that, which the opponent may hnve iMjilt up. We, the people, ar_e teolng to look over these old political Greeks bearlnp new¬ found fflfts. We, the people, must an- .alyze and know more about "This thing we call Government." •

Fluck,   which ¦w«re   approved   'as   re.ad,   considerable i Important    business   was     trans.acted. i Much   consideration was given  to  the iW.atkinr, Flre Arm act. Superintendent I Smith stated that he had been In touch iwlth   several   heads   of   notice   detvirt- )ments and the opinion is that the act I in its 'present form is  somewhat dan¬ gerous and does nnt fulfill the purpose intended.   Tie   said   that   since   the   act became a law- there have been no few¬ er than  40,000   permits  issued  to per- pons  throughout  the  stJ.tB    to    carry revolvers.

May   Operate   Against   Grocers     Who Have   Been   Granting  Credit
Howard W. Garner, of Ambler, In discussing commun'ity relief markets and food orders, writes:
There are two points which should not be overlooked In considering Gov¬ ernor I'lnchot's plan to handle unem¬ ployment relief through community markets.
First: In Montgomery County, and no doubt al.so throughout tho State, there .are many local retail grocers who have been and still are supplying food to needy families on credit. For much of this thej' will never receive pav¬ ment. Is it fair to deprive theso gro¬ cers of the oish business represented by food orders?
Second. In the esse of some gro¬ cers the loss of the business they now have through food orders will spell the difference between solvency and ! bankruptcy. A bankrupt grocer means one more rnan uneini>loyed, and the closing up of his business will also throw his clerk and other helpers out of work. Is It wise to do this?
