A married woman s viewpoint dear Tex Many comments have been printed in regard to employment of married women. Most of them expressed a belief that if All married women were forced to relinquish their positions the unemployment problem would be greatly relieved. I am married and employed nothing would give me greater pleasure than to be Able to close my desk and never have to return to it. I believe my sentiments Are shared by the majority of married women who Are working most of those i know Are spending their salaries on the necessities of themselves or other members of their families who Are unemployed ill or in need of assistance. I know of Only an isolated Case or two where married women Are working to provide extreme luxuries. Thole who Don t need jobs. Lets look at this in another Way. It is True the unemployment problem is a serious one and the plight of the Young people graduating and ready for work is a sad one. But if we Are to be fair then if married women Are to be required to give up their positions to relieve the situation the Welsh native or descendants Are still with us. Hut somehow they have been lost in the shuffle so far As the census takers in Racine Are concerned. Rev. I. Kendrick Roberts says 250 adult persons of either Welsh nativity or descent Are affiliated with his Welsh presbyterian r ii u r r h alone and that Many have other Church affiliations. Quot it is a question whether we lost the census takers or they lost the minister asserted. Quot the Welsh Are very patriotic and it is probable that they characterized themselves As a just americans when the census taker came another theory is that they were classified As subjects or immediate descendants of subjects of great Britain.

But in t one of the advantages of living in a free country the privilege of working if you so desire no one admits to wanting a dictator in this country yet Arentt we asking for just that when we Endeavor to have Laws passed which discriminate against certain Small groups and certainly the Quot married women employed who do not need the work class is a very Small one.

Why even in Russia a country notorious for its Lack of Freedom everyone has a right to work helping others. There Are Many married women in Racine who Are capable and in need of work but they Are Given no consideration at most of the business places when there is an opening.

One Dollar a Day we As All that was allowed the workmen and they had to take it in Trade very often. Griffith Richards bought a Large farm in the neighbourhood and paid $50 Down As Security. Later he abandoned the farm and forfeited the $50, because he was not satisfied with Ohio. He believed it would take Many years to Clear the farm and he we As already past Middle age. Thomas Jehu and he inspected the country As far As Burlington Iowa a. They were very much pleased with Iowa so much so that they decided to bring their families. There was one objection there were traces of great destruction by the w kinds. Returning to Ohio they passed through Columbus where they met Thomas Isaac Thomas and Griffith Pugh father of col.

Thomas and Griffith Pugh had so much trouble by Jack Roberts East and West Parks Are the oldest Park tracts in Racine but the question of who owns them is one which has not been settled. The City on several occasions has attempted to use West Park Between Park and College avenues As a bait for getting a Normal school Public Library and a courthouse but withdrew the offers because of the question of ownership. When the Northwest territory was surveyed by the Federal government Section 16 in each township was set aside As Quot school and University lands All returns from Stile or lease to go for educational purposes.

On the the Village to retain the land on the leasing it on Long terms to tenants and using the Money to support the school system. Had this been done taxpayers now we Ould not have so much cause to Quot kick Over High taxes As the school tax plays a Large part in the general picture. Or. Strong a letter follows Quot the school Section in this township is fractional containing about 500 acres All of which is Good land and the most of it Well suited for Village lots. It is level dry and handsomely situated. Its North line is within a few rods of the courthouse and business Section of the Village and it furnishes a great number of lots As desirable for dwellings As any in the Village. Quot there is no school Section in the territory one half As valuable and i believe there never has been one in the Western country of so Demic of a kick me signs pinned to the coat tails of unsuspecting victims. Perhaps others will be sent to Monument Square to watch the Soldier statue come Down off his Pedestal at an appointed hour. Some red hot gags.

In India at the feast of Hull the last Day of which is March 31, the chief amusement is sending persons on fruitless and foolish errands.
