The Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness urged a South Side fireworks ban to curb dozens of injuries expected during Independence Day celebrations. Last year 16 South Side injuries and 226 citywide fireworks mishaps in Chicago were reported, with 448 statewide.

Reduction in WPA Checks This Week
WPA workers received slightly smaller Tuesday pay checks than the prior pay day. Charles E. Miner states there is no pay cut and that checks will be issued every two weeks on the same weekday. Under a 13 month year plan, pay becomes 26 times a year, redistributing 13 extra hours into 120 hour months. Any apparent first-check shortage will be balanced by future checks under the new schedule.
