STATE COMMITTEE ON UNEM-
PLOYMENT RELIEF
bulletin Issued by P. G.. Spills
bury. Arizona Director. Presi
dents Organization on Unem
ployment Relief, Sept. 81 1881

In cooperation with Mr.. D.
w. Fountain, Chairman Of the
Arizona Committee on Unem
ployment Relief. we are pleased
to announce the appointment Of
the following directors to carry
on the work in the different
counties of the state.
It is the purpose of this cen
tral committee to establish uni
form methods of meeting the
situation 10 every county and to
aid each other in referring
problems which can not be met
by the counties themselves.
Mr.. Walter S. Clifford. Director
of the Presidents Organization
of Unemploym Relief. has
pointed out the necessity of each
town and community taking care
of its own problem, insofar as it
is possible TO do so. It will be
the purpose of this committee to
direct these activities and advise
all organizations operating in the
different towns the best method
of providing relief measures.
Bulletins will be issued from the
central office from time to time
to the county chairmen and they
will be requested to transmit
this information and advice to
all the organizations in their
counties who are carrying on
relief work.
In general, the problems to be
met are first. the care of Arizona
people and, second, the problem
of the transient. First, all plans
should be made to care in each
community for those who are
temporarily embarrassed and
need this help. The problem of
the transients will be a serious
one in central and southern Ari
zona and for this reason CO. ordi
mating plans in all the central
and southern counties should be
established so as to minimize the
drain on local funds as much as
possible.
The central committee first
recommends that all collections
of moneys for charitable and
relief purposes be made during
the period October 19 to Novem
Der Is. and that the requirements
for each organization be set up
with a central committee. and
that the drive for funds at this
time be made sufficient to cover
the whole winter season. Ma
tional publicity will be released
by the committee beaded by
Mr.. Owen D. Young during this
period and will. therefore. be of
considerable help to the organ
izations raising funds.
The County Directors are
warned to be very careful about
approving or recommending wild
or untried schemes for relief.
Already many have been pre-
sented but most of these have a
selfish foundation and will not
truly meet the conditions. It is
much better to move slowly in
this problem than it is to dissi
pate funds on unwise plans.
Every attempt should be made
to provide work instead of the
dole. [ feel that we should all
move slowly and surely in work
of this character and stick to
policies that are fundamentally
sound. We must endeavor to
locate in every community peo
pie who have some understand
ing of this problem and the
abuses that result from unorgan
lied charity.
