CWA Memory Troublesome There is, for example, the memory of the CWA which still causes them a lot of trouble. From their stand- point they can wish it never had an existence, for some persons got high- er wages from the CWA than they ever earned before in their lives. Com- pared to what they get from the re- lef administration, the CWA was a Utopia. Many would like to return to it. They write in to say so. Of course it is impossible, but the mem- ory lingers. Another source of trouble lies in the fact that many applications for help, received from persons who have not exhausted their resources, have been rejected. The standard here is that people are not entitled to relief unless they actually are “up against it,” hence the family with credit or ugh grocery orders to permit of an dequate diet. Certain “fancy” foods are not available on these orders, ex- °t! cept by special permission, but where illness makes a special diet necessary it is provided for. Thus the relief ad- ministration has given certain of its “clients” oranges and other fresh iruit, chicken and other delicacies. ‘The relief orders are for amounts of money, rather than for quantities of specified food, but they are based on food budgets prepared for the FERA by experts at the state agricultural college and based on current food prices in the given locality. These 5 {budgets are prepared from both the 19 quantitive and monetary standpoints 6.25|Thus one budget prescribes so much milk, meat, fats, starches and proteins per person.

Were it material resources, or which can bor- row on insurance policies or other as- sets, is not considered a relief case unless it has done all of these things. Always in the background is the thought that things may change for the better and they may not need to be accepted as relief “clients” at all. Still another source of trouble is the listing of relief applicants with regard to work. No farmer, for ex- ample, is listed as unemployed, even though he may regard himself as in this class. The reason is that farm- ers usually have stock to take care of and other chores and, to that extent, are employed, even though the em- ployment may not be profitable. They Even Pay Insurance To demonstrate the effort which is made to adjust relief to the needs of each family, rather than to treat needy people in the mass, it may be well to go back to the insurance ques- tion, for the FERA is paying some insurance policies, In @ few cases, where it would be 3 obviously impossible for the person insured to obtain new protection if the policy is permitted to lapse, ar- rangements are made to carry the pre- mium. Often enough to justify its continuance, this system has paid dividends, since many persons on re- lief have died and their dependents have collected the insurance, thereby taking them off the relief list. In cases where the policies are on an an- nuity or other “expensive” basis, how- ever, they usually are converted into straight life policies to reduce the ex- pense. Thus the official attitude is one of helpfulness, courtesy and considera- tion for those on relief, with due con- sideration for the expense involved. Some families have felt insulted be- cause of investigations made and questions asked by the relief workers but it is inevitable and a necessary part of the system. Were there no “gyppers” and no attempts to “chisel” the relief system this would be dif- ferent, but these are facts which can- not well be overlooked and the inno- cent must suffer with the guilty, if suffering it is. A later article in this series will take up the “gyppers.” It | me enough to say here that they ex- CONTINUED Western Counties Report Crop Near Complete Failure feed and water for sheep. 1,268 cat- tle shipped; 10,120 bought, 10,000 to be shipped. 9,000 can be wintered.
