Checking up on the growth of bu reaucracy in Washington, the Times said of the Brain Trust head's de partment; Officials found that Administra tor Tugwell has hired 12,089 persons to provide jobs for only 5,072 relief workers. The salaries of the admin istrative staff, spread out in eighteen Washington buildings hnd the field, total $1,750,000 monthly, as compar ed to about $300,000 paid the relief workers. “Thia staff, in addition to having 104 automotive units taken over from other Government agencies, has bought eight passenger cars, all but one of the more expensive type, for use in Washington in addition to four station wagons, twelve trucks and one motorcycle.”________ * The forthcoming publication of a poetry anthology, entitled “American Voices,” will contain some of - the poems written by Mrs. Euphemia Dimick, of Coquille. The anthology will present the works of many poets who, are and have been but little known by the thousands who love and appreciate good poetry, and the publication is being made with the! intent to give these worthy poets the : wide reading audience they deserve | Mrs. Dimick has kindly permitted the Sentinel to publish one of her recent poems which appears below!

The Federal Government, as the biggest banker and spender in the country, is in a fair way to become the nation’s largest real estate owner and operator. Through the 21 agen cies that it wholly finances, and the ten others that it helps to finance, it has written down on the Treasury books $94.582.194 of “real estate and other property held for sale.” Most of this came from loans that were not repaid.______________ Mrs. Dimick’a Poems to Ap pear in “American Voices” For I will be remembering The gentle things you did, The "resignation” of Lynn Crone- Your patience and forbearance, The disappointments 4hat you hid. niller as state forester, coming as a bolt out of the blue, is interpreted by Ah, yes—I will be remembering. -nany political observers as the first DidT you think I could forget? step in a long delayed house cleaning trgnced kUgeg Crone- by the state administration, But your kindness lingers yet. miller's resignation is understood to Euphemia Dimick. lave been requested by Governor Martin and filed with the chief exe- against which the referendum was cutive for action by the forestry invoked, will go on the special elec board.
