FOUND~A DEPEND¬ ABLE SOLirnW OF UNEMPLOYMENT
Cutting through the maze of the¬ ory and red tape that unfortunately obscure and delay active unemploy¬ ment relief in many vicinities, LIB¬ ERTY WEEKLY cites a concrete example of pri^ctical and successful rehabilitation of unemployed famili¬ es and suggests that what has work¬ ed weel in one section of the nation might well work in other neighbor¬ hoods. It is recognized that every¬ where there is a willingness to help in the solution of this tremendous problem but that deflnite. construc¬ tive programs are slow to formul¬ ate, perhaps this successful ex¬ ample of what has already actually been accomplished in re-establishing numerous families on a self-support¬ ing basis will crystallae unemploy¬ ment relief in municipalities where the desire to aid exists but where practical knowledge of how to pro¬ ceed Is lacking.
