Rather, it should stimulate State and local initiative to needed expansion of programs, through the uniformity of the Federal provisions and the Federal aid made available under various titles of the bill. Nor will it reduce the need for Community Chest funds and other forms of pri- vate support of social work.” Admiral Grayson emphasizes the importance of public and private social work working hand in hand in Amer- ica and pays tribute to the activities of volunteers in welfare service. Would Train Volunteers. “The private social agency,” states Admiral Grayson, “should continue to give leadership to the whole field of social work by enrolling and training volunteers. Public-spirited volunteers have made possible much of the ex- tensive development of the work of private agencies. The private agency, because of its greater flexibility, is in position to render most effective aid to the victims of sudden disasters. The private agency must continue to sup- plement the work of the public agency in the field of relief and must con- tinue to give aid to people not eligible for public- assistance, since public aid is based upon legal sanctions.” Green, speaking for the American | Federation of Labor, states private &ocial work shcaeld occupy a very large place in the welfare policy and pro- gram of America, both today and in the future. “While the relief of human distress eand the advancement of a social jus- tice program is very largely a public responsibility, it does not in any way, in my opinion, lessen the great need for private social work. It would be unfortunate if the people of America ever reached the point where they evaded their personal responsibility t assist unfortunates and shifted the burden of providing adequate relief for those who are dependent on the State and Federal Government.” S Handicap Overcome.
