Sunburn Lotions are ripe in the Land of Mears .

Sunburn Lotions

-Ever a worshipper of the virtue of self- reliance , ever a foe to spinelessness , The Mears Newz is early and often to tell the people to get ready for winter , to get jobs of their own and to avoid the canes and crutches of the relief bureau . One fel- low who worked on the river - widening WPA project said he never had such an easy job in his life . He said he only worked about three hours a day at easy work and went fishing the rest of the time . I suppose the boys sort of took turns at the fishing game while a few of the others wriggled their shovels a little once in a while . I never happened to hear of any of the boys cracking their shovel handle by lifting too big a shovelful of dirt . Most of the fellows that get on the job seem to hang on year after year . If they earned half the wages working at a private job and got along on that it would be more to their credit . When you work for a business that is getting millions of dollars in the red because of you and your " fellow employees , " it is not so good . If you are peddling peanuts for a peanut dealer and earn- ing $ 1.50 a day and knowing that you earn it and that your em- ployer's business is making money , that is something to be proud of . But if you " work " for a philanthropy and get twice that much and ac- cept it knowing that every day you " work " the government is losing money on you it is not something to be proud of . If the American mil- lions would only deify the virtues of self - reliance and abhor public charity we would have our country in brighter , better shape . Does it make you cheerful to be working for a business that is going millions of dollars in the red ? We give you an extract of a letter from W. J. Branstrom , famous Fremont attorney . It was dated attorney . It was dated May 1 , 1934 . Dear Mr. Lathers : I heartily agree with you when you say , " We are only educating our people to be dependent , to be reashing for a hand- out , to be expecting relief at all times . " How much better it would be if Michigan would say to its unemployed this spring , " Here are shov- els , hoes and garden seeds ; now get out and raise your summer's food and your winter's living . Raise potatoes and squash and put them into

your cellar . Then with your winter's food in the cellar and your win- ter's wood in the wood pile , you will not be a burden upon society . That is the way to lead the people to be self - reliant . Those preach- ments are sound and must be practiced by the people if our democra- tic institutions are to continue . Yours sincerely , Wm . J. Branstrom . At the Spencer farm near the Hart fair grounds a team of harvest hands from Muskegon have been pulling off the cherries at high speed .
