RELIEF, eontinuedf
years of age or more* The only othor pro**
gran under which aid from Territorial fund
is giver, in Aid to the Blind* There is no
other program under which any aid is given
except that in cases of extreme hardship
the iUS will give assistance to people of
native blood*
The need for relief has not been as
great up to the present time as was earl
ier anticipated because of the fortunate
circumstance that this year* fer the first
time, the seasonality regulation governs
ing eligibility for unemployment compen
sation was dropped, and many fishenmn and
cannery workers have received an income
they h^ve not had in previous winters* Hois
ever* there are a good many peopls in this
area who have not received any aid from
any of theca programs and it is expeoted
the number of needy who have exhausted all
their resources, will rapidly increase fro:
now until spring* -
The local committee pointed out to Mr#
Sweeney that the people in the Bristol Bay
area would not need# and would not want#
ary type of aid program if they only had
an opportunity to work and eo earn enough
to provide for themselves# and that it is
no credit to the national administration
that the people living in an area as rieh
as this in natural resources# have to de
pend on any type of outside assistance#
