Family Care
Clayton County's Family
Care office on Central Ave
nue in Forest Park is doing
a fine work under direction
of Bill Flem
ing, president,
and Mrs
Ruth John
son, executive
secretary.
Actually
they have
been doing a
superb job
with ¢thelr
limited means
from United Appeal for a pe
riod of ten years.
limited means from United
Appeal for a period of ten
years.
The writer sat in on the
meeting of the Clayton group
and the United Appeal panel
out of Atlanta last week at
which Mr. Fleming and Mrs.
Johnson explained in detail
what they are doing with
their funds and how their
needs are always greater
than the supply.
We learned some interest
ing things, ie., the Clayton
County office’s budget for
1968 was 222,396 and they're
asking $24,763, a modest hike,
for 1969,
They helped 327 families in
1967, 195 of them financially.
They disbursed $40,000
(wholesale) in surplus food
to the needy last year in such
items as flour, meal, cheese,
rice, grits, etec., all coming
through the State Dept. of
Agriculture.
Also last year they gave out
10,500 pieces of clothing
which was given to the Cen
ter by churches and indi
viduals mostly.
Mrs. Johnson explained
money is their main problem,
rents being the No. 1 ex
penditure in that field
“Rents keep going up,” she
said, “‘until today we consider
SBS monthly cheap rent.
“We are not a welfare or
ganization, as Such. Our
family help is usually emer
gency and for a few days and
we normally limit our aid to
one family to $200.”
The Family Care appears
to be a really worthwhile
charity and our Clayton
County people are doing a
job.

! AMERICA TODAY s confronted with a scrious economic
‘p wadon, For an overwhelning majority of our citizens, we have
!““I‘-”i"l\‘lk“' prosperity and a standard of living unmatched any
[where inthe world,
i On the other hand. there are about 30 million Americans—
{ both white and Negro, urban and rural—in dire poverty, although
this country has enjoyed more than 80 consecutive months of
cconomic growth and business expansion.
There are ercat pockets of chronic unemployment. at a
ynmc when there are not cnough skilled workers 1o go around.
'lhnx we have millions of people who cannot find jobs. and
{mulion ol jobs that cannot tind people.
‘ LEGISLATION NOW pending before the Senate. of which
I am i cosponsor. would go a long way toward alleviating this
tpmhlcm by allowing business and industry an income tax credit
ih»v expenses involved in job training programs.
i Private business. which 1 believe is most qualified to provide
[job tramning. has certain important advantages over the govern
fment in this ficld Although the government can sometimes give
‘r\cvllcnl traaning. 1 don’t believe we are getting to this job
{problem as efliciently or mpl(.ll\ as we should.
| Morcover. government can tramn. but it cannot absolutely
[guarantee a job at the end. Private business can. It not only can
[provide the training plus the job. but it can also pay a salary
l\lurm;v the fearning process. A lirge number of companies are
already engaged in such programs. and a job training tax credit
]\\\l;-m would be an incentive to companies to enlarge their exist
:'mg_v programs. and an vitation for more companies to set up
{programs of their own. This legistation deserves our immediate
attention and strong support
WE DO NOT PROPOSE that all government programs be
chiminated. but we do need a stronger working partnership be
tween the government and private industry. with the government
providing every possible incentive for industry-operated programs
to help people help themselves.
Ihe best solutions and the most important solutions to the
social ind cconomic problems confronting our country today
can be tound in education. in job training. in the creation of
imore jobs. and in more people who are ready. willing, and able
