1 note by the Bridgeport papers that
the city has passed an ordinance that
all people unemployed must go into
service. in other words that no loat-
ers or unemployed persons should be
about the streets. it the Bridgeport
Council have this authority, why may
not South Norwalk take similar ac-
tion?
The huge number of persons who
will not lender seivice must be sup
ported with their families and the men
who 11 orhs is compelled not only to
meet his own wants but help take
care 0 this class. '
Let .:-'. see to it that all able-bodied
person- do their share or the work.
Why should one man stand around
the corners looting all day while an,
othei man works. Let all be employ- l
ed. Let ev'elyonc contiibute to the
common good.
