Seaford. Laurel, Milford, Georgetown
and RehObOth, and conditions gem
orally throughout the county were
fully discussed. Relief work in the
several communities of the county
from the various reports submitted,
but it is apparent as we get deeper
into the winter months that increas-
ties should be made to provide funds
for their relief organizations, supple
mental to the small sums which can
be disbursed by the County Relief
Committee. 1t is anticipated that the
needs will increase as the winter
progresses. and with that increase
in need the necessity for increased
contributions on the part of local
communities also will increase, and
it is the hope of the committee that
the citizens of the county will be as
generous as financial conditions will
permit. Funds derived from the No
vember receipts, aggregating $S65.OO
were allocated to the various local
and so far as knowledge |
has come to the committee all worthy |
cases are being cared for as COM
pletely as possible. From all sec
tiOns information has come to the |
that the communities we're |
bending their efforts first to provid-
ing necessary food and cOlthing to |
the children of the public schools, |
in so far as the needs were made |
known, and we are convinced that |
this branch of the work will be look
ed after very carefully. Any cases
of need, aside from children attend
ing the public schools, should be
brought to the attention of the local
relief organization nearest to the
need, and such organization will
take care of it. The next meeting of
The committee will be held in the
grand jury room in the Court House
)n Wednesday, January 20, at which
he committee will be glad to have
my person in the county attend at 8
o'clock. We find the attendance of
of the public at these
meetings is most helpful to us in
our plans, and we trust
hat the public will continue its in
crest.
