I The Reporter asked I'rof, Cai's'm.
j head "t the R. E. i'. employment rer.
| vice in the county, if this firm of
j federal aid :n stoke- would continue.
"Ye*," replied Pro'", fan-on, "ha'
jit will he under re.-:fictions."
The Reporter wo.- led tic
inquiry owing in a report current
that R. I', r. expenditure.'- wore
about over in the county.
It is known that many farmer"
who have been receiving employ
ment aid. arc now needed "it their
farm work. On the other hand,
many farmers who have applied fur
federal aid with which t»> procure
fertilizer and other supplies. have
been turned down in their applica
tions.
In such eases these farmers must
continue to secure employment-aid
through the R. E. c. agency, other
wise the.v will be a liability of the
Red Cross or local charity.
It cannot be denied that a large
force of destitute citizens are still
without 'mean- of support. Some
of these are farmers who have been
refused help from the government
leaning agency. In other eases 'there
are those who do not farm for a
living, but who have lost employ.
r..ent for one reason or another.
The projects „f the Hanging Rock
road and the County Home Lake, as
being developed by Lawrence Ala".
Rne. will undoubtedly ais-orb a
large per e e nt. 0 r the floating labor
of the count}'.
It is earnestly hoped that interest
n these project..-, which mean s 0
much for the public as well as af
fording a livelihood for the do-ti.
tute who are ready to work, may
not lag.
