gorgeous estate, and to think the
house was haunted!

afternoon was a member of the

stories. She told it with the same
enthusiasm as guide on any tour.

This is about Governor Swans
daughter, a house guest of Edison
Ridgely for whom great ball had
been planned.
Late for breakfast, Cygnet at
tracted attention by her sickly
look. She insisted there was moth
ing wrong, only dream, hor-
riblc dream"
"Bes' not tell a dream before
breakfast" cautioned the butler,
"or it's bound to come true"
But she told the dream. How
she was at Hampton House among
friends, then was suddenly trans
planted into field of wheat, alone
and desolatc. She spied an old man
rcaping dots of description here. l
could only think of the goose PIN
pies this dashing little lady has
raised as she relates this story for
at least a half century,
Anyway the old man in the
dream chased Miss Swan and
yelled. III have you yet, my gold

When" she inquired.
Tomorrow before the ball"
Sure enough the gal was found
dead as she sat in front of her
mirror brushing her hair this is
history as the guests were seated
for dinner preceding the ball.
Ever since guests have heard a
peculiar swishing in that north
bedroom.

been considering the question of
applying for this aid for two
years ana has not yet reached a
conclusion although it is likely
that it will in the near future.
Why has it taken so long in
its deliberations? No matter
what viewpoint you hold, you
must admit that except during
the crisis of nationwide depres-
sion, the question of public relief
is highly controversial.
The board must answer the
question of whether large num-
bers of people needing relief
justify such a program or
whether the fact that people are
in need no matter how small the
number is justification enough.
The public, while quick to re-
spond to individual hardship
cases, likes to know that its tax
money is being well spent. Too
often, our forgotten man is in the
twilight zone where it is hard for
the layman to see the need for
assistance, especially at a time
when employment has hit an all
time high.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1956-01-26

ships and habits of action of
families and individuals.
1t estimated that if $500 in.
stead of $3.50 could have been
spent on those 46 families, per-
manent help would have been
given that would have insured
ultimate self-dependency on the
part of the entire group. Being
forced to give relief to families
with temporary need detracts
from the total program.
It therefore comes as a shock
to learn that just such a program
for UEs as the league is request
ing is already available to the
county but the county welfare
board has never requested it.
Other counties in Maryland Ne
ceive aid from the States gen.
eral assistance program to unem-
ployed employables on a match
ing fund basis, $3.50, county and
state.
Assistance is made available
on a month to month basis with
limit of 500 a month. Appli-
cants have to reapply each month
and be reinvestigated.
The county welfare board has

work service more effectively to
improve their total adjustment.
This may be its preference but
when our forgotten man appeals
to the only agency in the county
able to help him, he is not turned
away.
In 1858, the league spent over
$4,000 in emergency relief to
families. In 1854 when all chest
agencies were forced to restrict
their programs, the relief budget
was cut back to $3.50 distributed
to total of 46 families.
That year the league undertook
a detailed study of these 46 fami-
lies in answer to the welfare
boards request for a bill of par
ticulars to support the opinion
that there is a need for a public
relief program for unemployed
employables in the county.
From this study, the league
concluded that if the welfare
staff had a general assistance
program for temporary relief, the
league could then use its funds
in cases where intensive counsel
ing would be effective in chang
ing unhealthy attitudes, relation

permanently i'll and disabled, aid
to dependant children, old age
assistance, the needy blind, foster
care, and general, chronic and
mental hospital care. But there
are no funds to keep man and
his family going through temper
airy unemployment, if he isn't i'll
or disabled.
If he should suddenly die dur
ing this period, the welfare
people have the money to bury
him. If he comes knocking on
the door during the holiday
season, there is always a supply
of canned goods, donated by kind
hearted people in the county at
this time.
There is even a fund to buy
clothes for his children because,
although an empty stomach
doesn't show, it is obvious that
children can't go to school if they
have nothing to wear. Other
wise, the welfare boards cup
board is bare as far as our for
gotten man is concerned.
Returning home empty handed,
he may be faced with eviction
AT this point, the neighbors
usually rally round and some
times a service group or church
group in the community will take
over and help the family through
the crisis.
But the price paid for this kind
of relief is very high in the loss
of self respect and general atti-
tude of self-dependency for both
the man and family. He is luckier
if he finds his way instead to
the Social Service League and it
is able to help him.
The league is a private case
work agency and it defines case
work as "a psychologically
oriented type of counseling, often
sought at times of crisis, and |
directed toward enabling families |
and individuals to make the best |
possible use of their own re-
sources and those of the commu-
nifty in meeting their particular
needs"
The league is almost entirely |
supported by Community Chest |
funds and its relief money is
limited. 1t believes that these
limited resources should be re-
served for use when economic
need is not the family's major or
only problem.
The experience of the depres-
sion taught the league that basic
economic need can only be ade-
quately met by the public agency
out of tax funds. 1t prefers to
draw on its funds only where it !
can help families to use its case

Unemployed

paid out SIC, 784 ,906 in wages plus
their $755, 343 contribution.
However, the Department of
Employment Security, to which
our county shifted the respon-
sibility for the unemployed as far
back as the '30s, has never ex-
tended its program to include all
employed people.
Its limitations for eligibility on
length of employment and
amount of wages received have
helped create our forgotten man.
To whom does this man turn
in his hour of need. There are
two agencies in the county that
give relief assistance; one, pub
lie, the Public Welfare Board;
the other, private, the Social
Service League.
The Public Welfare Board was
appealed to by % UEs in 1858; 81
