Dear Editor:
Perhaps you have wondered why
we have not given you a news
tenn on the resulst of our commit
Il e contact on County Broad meet
ing for the needy. Due to many
factors for the most part impa-
fence when the needy don't receive
an order in the first attempt lack
of confidence which brings about
state OF helplessness and there
orgetfulness to attend meetings
fter they secure orders until they
are cut off, this with other cts
of thoughtlessness causes US to
change our plans to secure help
for the needy. The Good Book says
with all your getting, get under

County Board meetings every
Tuesday we conduct a school for
the needy that they may be able
like the Good Book says, to endure
hardships like good soldiers.
