"As a step in the reorganiza ton
OF this agency, the board asked the
A. b. Curtis Company TO make an
audit OF its financial records. The
board feels that this move was
necessary since all approved agen.
cies have annual audits OF their
financial records.
The board is now making a case
by case analysis OF relief giving.
An attempt TO set up policy TO be
used in giving relief on any other
basis would seem unfair TO both
the Community Fund and the cli-
entS SO each client is asked by the
case worker to make an application
for relief This application with
recommendation from the case
worker is presented TO the Welfare
Committee, who reviews the needs
and makes a purchase voucher for
the necessary relief.
Recently at meeting OF the
board all relief-giying agencies were
asked to confer on a plan which
would avoid duplication in relief
giving among relief agencies. All
agencies represented agreed on a
plan. and now the board is ready
to state its policies on this phase
Of work.
The analysis OF the quality OF
case work done in this agency Is
the next step In the process Of re-
organization The board feels that
until case records have been kept

Bloom ruled that recommends

issue of arming merchant ships,

forestall any opposition attempt to
