A. Reed, chairman of the finance committee: “As you have probable already learned through the local newspa- pers, the Natrona County Chapter American National Red Cross, is preparing to go before the commun- ity of Casper and Natrona county in an endeavor to raise funda to meet the needs for relief among the peo- ple of this county and city. “At the present time, Mrs. Kittie B. Payne, the trained social worker employed by the local Red Cross, is handling the cases of more than 200 needy families in Casper and Na- | trona county. She is securing much valuable help from organizations and from individuals in carrying on this work. In addition to the work ameng the needy, she is handling much of the delinquency work among the juvenile offenders in the community, is administering the mother’s pensions and poor relief for the county, and is acting as a clear- ing house for other agencies in town, thus preventing waste and duplica- tion in relief giving. “As you know, the local Red Cross | ts still carrying out its obligation to the ex-service men of the world war, and an average of 150 men are be ing served each month in our of fice, their claims for compensation ste being prepared to present to the nent. This in itself is a big j kept quite separate fron any r civilian problems which the Red Cross has undertaken to help solve. “You are aware of the present eco nomic situation and the continued unemployment. This is creating a greatly increasing demand on all ovganuzations for help and relief— and it is the purpose of the Red Cross to assist in securing a closer co-operation between the charitably inclined people of Natrona county to insure maximum relief for a mini mum expenditure. We respectfully solicit your co-operation in this re. spect, and suggest that should your organization or any individuals in your organization desire to contri- bute relief to any needy family which may have been reported to you that you either telephone or call on Mrs. Payne at the Red Cross office in the Midwest building to assure yourself that relief is needed and also to ascertain what other or. ganizations or individuals are al- ly working on the case and also area kind of relief is most needed. Often, too, we know of families who are in dire need and the assistance offered can be diverted to them in case the family which you had in mind is being adequately cared for. “The Red Cross does not want to give the impression that it is seek- ing to eliminate other help from or- ganizations. It must economize in its own work and since it has found a considerable amount of duplica- tion in the relief work in the com- munity, it bespeaks your co-operq- tion in the manner suggested above —feeling sure that we can all work together to much better advantage then by warking separately bd without knowing what other agency is also giving relief in some specific case. “All the money to be raised in the forth coming campaign is to be spent in helping the needy of Na- trona county—the greatest part of it in the city of Casper.
