SEPTEMBER 23, 1937 L T E Need For Jobs Provided Through PWA Decreased With Passing Economic Extremity Is Assertion, Jit-Wjajsi WASHINGTON, Sept. 23. P In formed fiscal officials predicted to day the administration will trim work relief spending substantially during the next fiscal year In an effort to balanoe the budget.

He also has approved Secretary Ickes' rejection of numerous projects because applicants were able to xi nance them without federal help. Job Need Wanes. The statement said need for Jobs provided through the PWA had de creased with the passing of the eco nomlo extremity.

J AS R Old Conception Of 'Bankers' Hours9 Described As Drawback To Business- High Hats Out Of Date LOUISVILLE, Ky., .Sept. 23. flV Bankers' hours "the kind people talk about but few are able to keep' was described today aa a drawback to business by the head of one of Georgia's largest banks. Speaking at the Kentucky Bankers' association, Robert Strickland, presi dent of the Trust Company of Geor gia, Atlanta, declared abolition of the old conception of bankers' hours would be a real asset in earning power." Loan Firms Open. 'Do you know any valid reason why a bank shouldn't be open all day?" Strickland asked In his address on "Banking Is It a Business?" "You can see a personal loan com pany and a finance company any afternoon until 6, Saturdays includ ed." he added. "That's radical, but there's serious ground to believe that abolition of the old conception of bankers' hours and a more constant availability for business would be a real asset in earning power and public relations." Bankers, the Atluntan asserted, "might have worn high hat one time, but It's exceedingly poor costume now." Federal Lending Scored. At another point. Strickland said "artificial phenomena of government lending agencies' had complicated the competitive trends in banking. Saying that "Initially, most of it (federal lendlngs) was needed by 'sorely beset banking structure." he declared that "much unsound gov ernment lending continues" and that 'public adventures Into the field of commercial bank lending, where banks have been ready to care for the de mand, are unsupported by any sound reason other than the new political philosophy of an all powerful, cen tralized, paternalistic government."

Sll YOUR DIALER OR Survey By Agriculture De partment Reveals Inter esting Facts On How Annual Income Expended. WASHINGTON. Sepu 33. (AP) Agriculture department experts said today automobiles are making heavy dents in the family finances ol west coast villagers. Next to the grocery bill, tbey said the family's old "back" generally Is the greatest drain on the pocketbook. However, there are exceptions where the annual family Income Is less than 91,000. they said, because then more Is proportionately required for rent and clothes. However, Or. Louise Stanley of the department's bureau of home eco nomics uncovered the following In teresting fact during recent surveys In 23 California, Oregon and Wash ington villages: 1. Eighty-eight of every 100 fam ilies receiving more than 1750 n- 3. The automobile appeared to be virtually the only means of transpor tation, as expense for other travel averaged less than 60 cents In the majority of the 1.600 cases studied In all occupational groups. "This study is proving particularly interesting in the opportunity It of fers for comparisons of the different sections of the United States." said Dr. Stanley. "When It Is completed we shall know what kind of living various Incomes will buy In various localities." Dr. Stanley conducted her studies In the California villages of Brea, La Habra, Placentla, Tuettn. Beaumont, Elslnore, Memet, San Jaclnta, Man teoa. Ceres Newman and Oakdale; In the Oregon communities of Sllwr- ton. Woodburn. McMlnnvllle, New- berg and Sheridan; and In the Wash ington towns of Burlington, Arling ton. Marysvllle, Monroe, Snohomish. Blaine and Lynden. She said similar analysis was made In 33 villages In North and South Carolina. Georgia and Mississippi and that It was found the automo bile was regarded there more as a luxury than a necessity; that .ts op eration entails less expense than food, clothing, housing or running the house, even In the higher In come groups. However, in both sections, she said the automobile outlay went up with the Income. Dr. Stanley's studies also disclosed, she said, that southeastern United States families spent a lsrger slice of their Income for clothes, personal care barber shop and beauty parlor and tobacco than the Pacific coast families. In another study conducted In the same Washington and Oregon villages, but not In the California towns. Dr. Stanley said she found the average annual income of the business and professional workers' famllly to be 1.914. Clerical workers' families av eraged 1.508; and straight wage earn ers averaged $1,131. She pried into the budgets of these fsmllles and found: 1. That the families In the $1,750- 1.999 class spent an average of $468 for food; 164 for clothing; 173 for housing; $168 for household opera tion: $66 for furnishings and equip ment; 8238 for automobile; S3 for other travel and transportation; $41 for personsl care; 6108 for medical at tention; $62 for recreation; $25 for tobacco; $9 for education; $80 for gifts, community welfare and taxes; and $9 for other itema. 2. The clerical worker In the $1,500- $1,749 bracket spent approximately $444 for food; $142 for clothing; $147 for housing; $149 for household op eration; $73 for furnishings and equip ment: $194 for automobile; $3 for oth er transportation: $40 for personal care; $87 for medical care: $48 for re creation; $22 for tobacco; $14 for reading; $9 for education: $36 for gifts, community welfare and taxes; $S for other Items. 3. Wage earners with Incomes be tween $1,000 and $1,249 spent an av erage of $381 for food; $88 for cloth ing; $117 for housing: $104 for house hold operstlon; $58 for furnishings and equipment: $189 for automobiles; $7 for other transportation; $28 for personal care: $64 for medical atten tion; $33 for recreation; $20 for to bacco; $11 for reading: $4 for educa tion: $25 for gifts, community wel fare and taxes, and $5 for other Items. party PI' v I E ww$tr V ,-M .Li J 1 1 iiJWBPMJ W V.mvw j.i JJi wmm AGING WINTER AND SUMMER FOR 2 FULL YEARS BRINGS YOU THIS WHISKEY WITH "NO ROUGH EDGES" Serve TEN HIGH and watch its super-smoothness score with your guests.
