WHAT ABB YOU (JOI.MJ TO DO AHOUT IT?
A doplui'ulilo situation has lieon lwently uneovoii'd in re
lation to (ino phuso of reliuf work in Lii Grande, mid it is to
Ik: hoped that local citizens who can afford will rise to the
emergency and lirinjr about its immediate correction. It has
to do with the handling of transients who have no destinsjr
tion, who are without home or work and who are "on the
road." Most of them eager to work but nimble to find employ
ment and so naturally, going from place to place in search of
a livelihood.
' In Ii Grande, it transient come here and are able to show
a destination some place where they know they will get
work, or have relatives or friends who will supixnt them
the .county relief committee may grant them meals and n
tiekel ol lransxrtation to this place they are headed for,
In due time the federal government reimburses the local
relief committee for this advancement of funds.
However, the transient man, woman or family, often
times including small children as has occurred here several
times within the past month who cannot show a definite
destination, lmds nothing in La Grande except what help
is provided at the Salvation Army hall. Here Captain Daniel
Jtouy nas a lxit ot "stew on the stove, with ingredients fur
nished through some donations of local meat markets, gro
ceries and bakeries or contributions from the captains own
very meagre pocket. Twenty to 30 such transients, vjino-ino-
from single 'men and women to husbands and wives with-
Jamilies ot small children, are taken care of nightly after
a fashion at the local Salvation Annv hall. In nth er wnrHsi

a bit of carrots, potatoes, soup bone, etc, picked up from

what of badly needed nourishment can be provided until
the. next morning when they must somehow move on.
Captain Body's funds for this feeding and care, because of
toe lei-em. unusual ana neavy demand, are found to be de-

he has provided cannot be continued much longer unless

brave way they have carried on in face of difficulties, but
the community cannot sit back longer and oxpwt them to
