Cooperation Of Agencies Asked By Committee
A meeting of the county FERC committee was held in the office of County Case Supervisor Jesse Miller at Winfield Friday. At this meeting the committee passed a resolution in which the committee asked for closest cooperation between the case worker’s office and the poor commissioner’s office. Mrs. Miller and Mr. Petticord expressed the desire to co-operate fully for the good of the county in the administration of relief.
Mr, Petticord said that he wanted the committee to know that he is in a difficult position, and that he is obliged to act as an arbitrator for about five different committees.
It was decided that the county FERC committee will meet once a week for several weeks in an effort to get the program of relief operating satisfactorily in the county. The meeting was harmonious throughout.
