Open Sewing Rooms
The sewing rooms in Arkansas City and Winfield will be opened Monday, it was announced. Mrs. Frazee will manage the Arkansas City project and Miss Hale the Winfield room. Mrs. Miller agreed with Mr. Walker that an inventory of the goods and fixtures in the rooms should be furnished the county.
The teaching projects have been transferred from the CWA to the relief program, Mr. Petticord said, and teachers will be required to go through the regular preliminary routine of registration, investigation and budgeting if they are to retain their jobs.
After a noon adjournment, the discussion of the relief program was resumed at an early afternoon session.
WOULD RE A CALAMITY. 4-19-34
As conditions are now between the case workers and commissioners they are in quite a mess and there is no telling as to the outcome.
It would fee a very hard blow to Cowley County and its large number of unemployed if it should happen to fee deprived of federal aid by the arbitrary and foolish action of someone in authority, which appears to be the case at this time.
No federal aid would be a calamity to the masses, the taxpayers and especially to the unemployed in this county.
Should this ever happen you will have no trouble in placing the blame where it properly belongs.
It is up to the board of county commsisioners to get the federal aid this counity is entitled to. If it follows instructions of the state director of federal aid it can get it. If it doesn't this county will be cut off.
Differences are now feeing stirred up which may result in cancellation of federal aid in Cowley county. It has already been cut to $10,000 when the county is entitled to almost three or four times that sum.
The way things are feeing carried on now it looks as if a big effort was feeing made to revive the commissary plan. If the commissary ever stages a come-| back the unemployed should remember they will receive no cash and will have to take just what those in temporary authority desire to give them.
If you should happen to be “no favorite” of the powers that fee you might fee picked out for discipline. Your menu, no doubt, would not be very palatable.
LIST OF COUNTY CLAIMS.
Poor Fund Spent Over $8,000 In March, Road Fund Over $3000. --------------
