several mistakes in failing to
make an appropriation suffi-

A group of legislators and other
citizens have written personal checks
to make it possible for the state hos.
pital at Warm Springs and the school
for the feeble-minded at Boulder to
function within current funds until
new appropriations become available
July 1, Gov. Sam G. Ford announced
yesterday This, the governor said,

which had been proposed as an alter
native to holding a special legislative
session
"This assistance Governor Ford
said, twas offered to the state by
these public spirited citizens because
they believe the scope of the public
welfare department should not be
broadened to include institutional re-
lief, although that power is strongly
inferred by the welfare act until the
legislature has had an opportunity to
restate public policy regarding the
law
"They are likewise aware that ex-
penditure of any of this money for
Warm Springs and Boulder might
bring court contest in which the use
of these funds for this purpose might
be prevented The alternative would
be a special session of the assembly,
the cost of which every responsible
official and citizen wishes to avoid.
With all of this | am in full accord"
Names of the men who have under

Governor Ford at a conference at
which it was agreed that sound public
policy demanded that even in this
emergency no precedent in the use of

future. 1t was also agreed that a
special session of the legislature
would not only call busy men from
their farms, ranches and businesses,
but would cost the state treasury con-

ations in the reshuffling of funds and
perhaps result in new tax levies.
The 1943 Legislature increased Warm

for the new biennium and provided
additional money for the rest of the

Miss Russell told Of letter received
from a recipient Of the councils
generosity last Christmas. The
woman supported a blind father on
a pitifully low salary and had had
no one interested in her troubles for
many years, Miss Russell said. The
council heard about her through
neighbors, and at Christmastime
sent her a sweater and skirt and a
basket of fruit to her father. The
woman arrived home to find the
gifts just as the annual singing OF
carols was being held in the alley
where she lived.
She wrote to Miss Russell the
following letter:
when came home from work on
Christmas eve, tired and lonely, I
felt as though I was forgotten, and
how happy I was to find that you,
my unknown friend, had remem-
bered me. I know 1t was q God-sent
gift. When we all sang together the
Christmas carols around the tree in
the alley it sounded to me like the
angels singing"
Mrs. Joy Elmer Morgan, president
of the council, and Miss Russell en-
phasize that a small money gift will
help lot to bring cheer to many.
