A Ccmmuncution-
Public Invited to Help Solve
Dilemma of Able Bodied Idle

We appreciate your interest as demonstrated
by your October oath editorial 'Iow Employ
able, in problem that is of great concern to us.
This problem is basically, who is going to
assume responsibility for assisting the families of
wage earners who not able to earn enough,
and earn consistently enough to provide the fam
ilys minimum needs of food, shelter and clothing?
AS you know, are wealthy county and
the thought of citizens of our county being in
need of the basic necessities of life even temper
ary, led us to gather facts and to seek solution
to this regrettable situation We feel that we have
uncovered some very valuable guides as to the
extent of the problem and what we feel should
be done about it,
We, as representative group of volunteer
citizens who devote endless hours to improving
our community services to its needy, strongly
feel that the responsibility for financial assist
ance to unemployed persons is public one. The
Maryland State Department of Public Welfare
recognizes this fact, and has in existence pro-
with the county, to make this kind of assistance
possible. Four counties in Maryland, including
our neighbors, Prince Georges County, are adj
ministering financial assistance to UNEMPLOYED
persons under this program. Montgomery County
is now paying the total bill through countless
agencies and citizens service groups that assist
families of unemployed residents on an unor-
gained basis. We addressed an appeal on Octo-
Der 15 1857 to our local Board of Public Wei
fare to reestablish this program and make it pos
sible for the State to pay one half of the bill.
