CATHOLICS PLAN
Relief PROGRAM
National Conference Hopes
to Coordinate Resources
This Winter.

The National Conference Of Catholic
Charities will study plan to co-ordi-
nate RESOURCES of Catholic charities to
prevent suffering this Winter. it was
announced yesterday in statement is
suSed by the national headquarters
here. The methods will be discussed
at the seventeenth annual meeting of
the conference in Wilkes Barre, Pa,
September ~ to 80.
Summing UP the situation and the
need for such action, the statement
reads, in part:
THE United States is facing one of
It's most serious problems, that of TAX
ing care of more than 100000 UNI
employed, or more than one in every
five of the Industrial population. 1t is
largely q problem of mobilization OF
resources for material relief.
Looking to States.
Leaders of Catholic charities will
discuss ways and means of getting local
communities to make larger appropria-
tons for relief Many local COM
mlInities have almost reached the end
Of their resources in public relief and
we are now looking to the States. SO
far, however, very few States have
recognized their responsibility.
that confronts the leaders in Catholic
charities. There will also be the ques-
ton as to the form that State aid
for relief should take. Tho ordinary
machinery of government Is unequal
to the situation. Each State needs an
organization that calls out its best
ability.
Leaders in Catholic charities will be
very much concerned with the part
the Federal Government should play
IN relief this Winter. The problem is
becoming all the more acute by reason
of the inactivity of most of the States.
The place of the Federal Government
IN relief will be discussed by Senator
David !. Walsh of Massachusetts, and
q representative of the Presidents Com
mission on Unemployment Relief.
Revival Of Personal Service.
"Tne outstanding note of the program
Of the Wilkes-Barre meeting will be
Of the work Of the church In every
parish. This is summed up in the
slogan of the conference, Every parish
q charities center
There has been q tendency on the
part of great many Catholic parishes
in the United States during the past
10 years to lean too heavily on the
central organizations, both public and
non-sectarian, to take care Of their
charity problems. Now the time Is ripe
for a change in the other direction.
Each parish church must become q con-
gregation of charity in reality as well
as In name. Each pastor must give
his people an opportunity of particle
patton in works Of charity under the
church"
Prominent speakers will appear on
the program from "a cities in Is States
and the District or Columbia.

PLANS To GUST
MOTOR BOATS

The quiet waters of Great
Seneca Creek, which have flowed
-serenely ever since there was a
Montgomery county, Md, are now
beginning to bubble and seethe
turbently.
Modern inventions have caused
fhe rebellion of Great Seneca.
This time it is a motor boat
which has caused the disturbance.
Thomas D. Darby and w. w.
Tschiffely, of Seneca, who say
'they own the right of way, one
on the land, the other on the
water, have decided they would
rather have noiseless skiffs on
the stream than motorboats,
which they claim endanger the
smaller craft.
After several warnings, Mr..
Darby yesterday swore out war
rant which he had served by
Sergt. Roy Bodmer and Ralph
Howard, Montgomery county po-
Icemen, charging L. E. Bell, of
Frederick, Md, with treSpaSs.
Bell, who will be tried Thurs
day, says he is promised the aid
of all the other motorboat own
sers of that vicinity. and intends
making a real test case of the
buuestion, saying he has right to
go upon any navigable stream.
