WPA And PWA
Came to Aid of
Hungry Citizens
The severe depression that hit
this area along with the rest of
the country in the 30's was some-
thing that we hope we or our
children don't have to go thru
again, q'was really rough in the
30's, but it "toughened" a lot of
us and we came through it for
the most part, with a greater ap-
preciation of the common ordi-
nary things of life.
The government, through the
Works Progress Administration,
furnished funds for local pro-
jects -- some needed and some
groceries and fuel.
The PWA (Progress Work Ad-
ministration) also gave com-
munities a lift by furnishing a
part of the funds necessary to
construct permanent improve-
ments. Mount Pulaski took ad-
vantage of this aid to pave 57
blocks of its streets.
MOUNT PULASKI IN
CO. NRA PARADE
(Oct. 26, 1933)
Mount Pulaski's contribution to
the NRA parade in Lincoln, last
Friday, was an entire grade and
high school enrollment, dozens of
automobiles and a large blue
eagle.
The local contingent left here
at 1 o'clock, headed by the city's
truck bearing a large blue eagle
sitting on top of the world and a
large banner overhead bearing
the proclamation "Mt. Pulaski,
NRA." (If the NRA parade did-
n't do anything else, it gave the
Case advertising Eagle of Schaf-
er's Hardware store, a new coat
of paint.)
Five trucks loaded with grade
school pupils were followed by a
cavalcade of automobiles with
high school students and busi-
ness men.
Following Prohibition
RURAL DELIVERY
ROUTE 2 CUT OfT
(Sept. 7, 19)
Postmaster A. F. Dillsaver re-
ceived word yesterday that be.
ginning October ]st, rural route 2
mt of Mount Pulaski, would be
abolished.
This route, which is carried by
Floyd Downing, will be divided
among the other carriers so that
the same servic may be obtain-
ed, but each carrier will find it
necessary to carry a longer route.
This changing in routes from
the Mount Pulaski office will
give the following mileage and
general territory coverage for the
three remaining carriers: Route
1 - Ottmar Wagner, 36.5 miles,
an increase of 8 miles, running
unnecessary -- but it gave folks
a-chance to get their hands on from southwest of southeast of
some money with which to buyiMount Pulaski; Route 2 - Dean
Foster, 42 miles, an increase of
13 miles, running from northwest
to southwest of Mount Pulaski.
Route 3 - Chauncey Glose, 37 mil-
es, an increase of 9 miles, run-
ning southeast to northeast of
Mount Pulaski.
PRIVY CAMPAIGN
OPENS IN COUNTY
AS WPA PROJECT
Repent Ye Forkers
(Aug. 17, 1933)
The program to curtail pork
production will be the most dras-
tic ever attempted in the United
States to reduce the supply of
any species of livestock, calls for:
financing by the government
thru a processing tax of the pur-
chase of 4,000,000 pigs weighing
from 25 to 100 pounds, which or-
dinarily would not be marketed
until they reached a weight of
from 200 to 250 pounds.
Payment of bonuses of $4.00
for each 1,000,000 sows soon to
farrow, to cut down the number
of breeding stock and to elim-
inate from the potential supply
of swine approximately 5,000,000
pigs which these sows would be
expected to product this fall.
It is estimated that the aggre-
gate weight of the slaughtered
nimals would be about 650,000,-
000 pounds, that the program
would reduce the potential mar-:
keting of pigs during the next l
year, if these were permitted to
grown, by 2,000,000,000 pounds
live weight.
LOCAL LETTER
RATE ONLY 2c
(June 22, 1)
Local first class letters dropped
in Mt. Pulaski for city or rural
delivery out of this office will re-
quire only two cents beginning
Saturday, July 1.
Lower rates will be effective in
all towns with post offices. The
reduction is designed as a reve-
nue.building move for the post
office system, as many firms
with large mailing lists have re-
sorted to house-to-house distribu-
tion of letters and statements
since the rates were raised.
After the rates were raised on
city mail, the local post office
experienced a decline in busi-
ness. Large concerns with hun-
dreds of bills to distribute each
month, hired "mail men" of their
own. Users of the mails, how-
ever, are not to confuse local
mail with first class mail to be
sent out of the city. These rates
remain at three cents per letter.
W'PA GRAVELS 29
CITY STREETS
(May 27, 197)
Twenty-nine bloc los of Mount
Pulaski secondary streets have
been covered with gravel and
still another 29 are to receive
the same treatment as fast as
WPA gravel arrives.
Up until the first of the week
44 carloads of gravel had been
shipped in here over the Illinois
Central. 27 cars were furnished
by the WPA Program, 8 cars by
the county and 9 cars of gravel
have been purchased by the city:
Requisition for additionat

(]tme 27, 1937)
Sponsored .by the Illinois State
Department of Public Health, a
county.wide community sanita-
tion program will be initiated in
Logan county next week as a
WPA project. The program, one
that has produced chuckles of
good humor and memories of
the late "Chic'" Sale, in numer-
ous states, has won the praise of
public health officials, medical
men, and others interested in
community health. The project
proposes to replace existing priv-
ies that are absolutely fly-proof
and rodent-proof.
The object of the health project
now operating in 67 counties in
which some 17,000 such struc-
tures have been installed in Ill-
inois to date, is to eliminate filth-
borne diseases such as typhoid,
dysentery, enteritis, and other
diseases carried by flies and ro-
dents.
The project has been in oper-
ation in Sangamon county since
February, 1936. Among the first
to be done in Logan county will
be construction of sanitary priv-
ies on the grounds of the new
Logan County Fair Assn.
