Commissary Use, jMoney
Allowances and Unrea
sonable Demands by Few
Families Creating Trouble
PALMER, Alaaka, Oct. 3. (AP)
New dissension threatened the Mat-
anuaka valley agricultural colony to
night, as federal olflclals completed
housing of the last of 170 remaining
families.
Inludlcloua use of commissary
credit facilities, unwise use of money
allowances and unreaaoname aemanas
by a few families brought stricter
regulations on all. -
Each family was allowed 5 cash
per month. In addition to supplies
from the colony commissary. Shortly
after the October allowances heads
of two families assertedly took theirs
to a newly-erected beer parlor and
spent It all for liquor.
Must OKe Account
As a result, no more allowances
will be Issued without accounts to the
last cent of how the money will be
sent. Another shalteup in commis-
iwrv nersonnel appeared Imminent
when It was discovered one family
of four drew $267 worth of goods In
a single month. The budget allowed
65.
Another sore point concerned guns.
Nearly every family ordered two guns,
a rifle and a shotgun, suitable for
shooting any game accessable from
the valley. Then officials learned
that one family, which obtained two
guns from the commissary, had an
arsenal of 12 firearms of various
types. Immediately It was ordered
that no more guns would be Issued
to anyone, leaving many families
with none.
Wanted Radio
One family moved Into its new
home, but waa much dissatisfied
with furnishings. "I'll give you Just
four days to put a radio into my
house, or else give us tickets home."
the husband told officials.
A meeting of colonists elected Wil
liam Bennett, formerly of Empire.
Mich., as president and representa
tive in dealings with the federal ad
ministration. There will be a few
more departures of mls-flt families,
but most . of those remaining want
to stick It out.
Continued rains and snowa have
reduced all valley roads except one
that Is graveled to an impassable
condition. Only method of transpor
tation Is a huge sled, pulled by i
great caterpillar tractor. On one oc.
caalon the tractor mired down and
had to be pulled out by two other
"cats.

(Associated Press Staff Writer)
The archives of the state emergency
relief administration program In Ore
gon record far more than the ex
penditure of $15,368,760 to feed nun- I
gry mouths and clothe human bodies.
"It may be surprising, but nearly
all of our projects have lasting eco
nomic aa well as human and social
values," said Elmer Goudy, Oregon
SERA administrator. "This is aside
from their emergency purpose of pro
viding vital relief so none would go
hungry and to give honest work to
preserve the morale of the needy."
Many Types or wont
Educational programs, building
projects, road construction, airport
construction, development of recre
ational facilities, drouth relief meas
ures, pest control, flood control, sub
slstence gardens, transient camps and
numerous other projects have been
undertaken, an Associated Press sur
vey revealed.
The SERA, which will give way soon
to the works progress administration,
started April 1. 1934.
Prominent in construction programs
by the SERA Is work done on airports.
Road construction has been car'
Many other Urge projects were und-
ert alien.
Big Road Projects
Among the larger road projects
were a 131.713 Job In Multnomah
county, a HS.677 project in Wash
ington county and improvements of
700 miles of county roads at $8,332
In Lane county. Substantial local
contributions were made In each
case.
Another type of work of lasting
economic benefit is the SERA flood
control program to . save thousands
of acres of land from soil loss, and
In some cases to protect property
during unusual flood times.
The most Imposing flood control
project was changing the channel
and making other Improvements in
places on Johnson creek In Multno
mah county. Cost to SERA waa about
$675,000 plus $31 ,675 local contri
butions. Manpower reached 1848.
Another large flood control project
was on the Bear creek at Medford
where $40,113 waa spent and man
power reached 155. Mill creek In

Teachers' Chorus Heard
The evening program was opened
with songs by the Jackson county
Teachers' chorus, under the direction
of Esther Church Leake, and duets
by Catherine Wendt and Jean Mc
Allister. Through an oversight, the
music presented Wednesday evening
by the adrlgal club, under the di
rection of Bisle Carleton Strang, was
not mentioned as being on the pro
gram. Mrs. Strang also directs group
singing for the convention.
Dr. Frederick Hunter, chancellor of
higher education In Oregon, was In
troduced by Mrs, William Kletzer,
who presided, and addressed the as
sembly on the convention theme, j
"Building For Permanent Values."
"In order to understand clearly 1
what are permanent values and how
we may attain them," ' Dr. Hunter
stated, "we must see ourselves In the
historic sense,-arriving at a perspec
tive of the whole relation to Indi
vidual parts.
Historic Climax"
American civilization Is an histor
ic climax! It Is better than the world
has ever seen before, a constant eco
nomic and political climbing," In
sisted Dr. Hunter, who stated that
since lis Inception, ' the American
form of government has taken hold ,
of the world. The speaker denounced
those who would change our consti
tution, and who claim It is out
dated. As proof of the workability
of the constitution. Dr. Hunter point
ed out that It was adopted almost
verbatim by Csechlovakla when that
country became a republic, and that
prosperity has made great strides un
der Its guidance In that new repub
lic. " ,
Dr. Hunter believes that the prin
ciples contained In the constitution
and particularly the bill of rights,
are the permanent values to be
sought. He also stated that nations
are far more often conquered by In
ternal troubles than by the Iron hand
of an Invader. Bad habits of nations
as enumerated by the chancellor are
War, Crime and Panic, and that we
must not look to dictatorship for the
answer to these problems, but rather
to the fundamental resources of our
nation.
These resources are our great na
tional wealth, the Innate creative
power of the people of the United
States, and the genius of the Ameri
can form of government. Dr. Hunter
believes that education, combined
with cooperation, a unity In a com
mon cause, will solve our problems.
