To Provide Work For

SURVEY MADE
OF ENTIRE COUNTY

Inc TeSlStratlOn OF all unemployed
women in Lincoln county shows list
of rs women who are out Of work The
committee in charge OF the registration
stated 1t is believed this Is an accurate
survey o 4 house to house canvass was
made of the larger places, while through
rural districts the work was done by
Mrs. Carrie LaMunyan, county super
intendent, and her teachers. -
VIII Submit Projects.
The next task in putting these wom-
en- to work is to find jobs for them.
Work projects under the Civil Works
administration are being worked out
by Mrs. E. E Jaqueth, Mrs. John Peay
and Mrs. LaMunyan as the local pro-
ject committee They have number of
projects in mind which will be submit
ted to headquarters at Helena for APP
prevail II any of these projects are ap-
proved, funds will then be forthcoming
to provide employment, but If they are
not approved there will naturally be no
employment As the situation stands at
the present time, it should be borne in
mind that there is nothing certain, al
though the expectation is that some OF
the projects will be approved and funds
provided
Much Work Possible
Projects that are being considered
are the opening of a Red Cross COM
missary in Libby, to which clothes and
materials could be donated and where
women could be employed to repair and
make up clothing that is being given
out. Provision would also be made to
have supervision of the distribution
of the clothing.
Several women could be employed
over the county in the capacity OF social
workers, calling on and helping cases
where children are without father and
mother and are living alone, or where
a father Is attempting to raise family
with the mother dead. Also in calling
on and helping families that could be
greatly benefited by competent advise
and example. Much good work could be
done in these respects.
It is said that two women could be
given steady employment for some time
at the county library
Three school houses In the county
are in need Of complete renovation,
states the county superintendent. This
work would provide employment.
An assistant janitor could be en-
ployed at the court house.
Another project would be the serving
of hot lunches in the rural schools.
These are only few of the projects
in mind to provide work to the rs un-,
employed There are many others that
could be worked out and that will be
done if funds are made available. Mrs.
Jaqueth states they can find work Tor
all the unemployed If the money is pre-
vided.
The thought back Of this work, es-
pecia1ly that of a social welfare nature,
is that it will not be temporary but will
result In becoming permanent and that
from it there will result an improve
ment in the condition. Of under
privileged families and higher stand
ard Of living
No Jobs Yet Ready.
1t should be remembered that plans
are only in their inception and that no
work is yet available. If projects are
approved, the choosing Of the workers
will undoubtedly be done either by the
unemployment office or some similar
agency.
Eureka Is Busy.
