JOBLESS AIDED BY H. S. CLUB AT SOUTHPORT Relief Program In * Perry Township Result of Boosters' Start. Credit for starting a relief program that has reduced the number of needy families in Perry township from more than 100 to less than 40 goes to the Booster Club of Southport high school, according to those in charge of the relief. The Booster Club, a voluntary organization, of pupils, made the first survey as to needs of the township’s poor and started collections of food through the school, prior to the Christmas holidays. Families Given Work "Other organizations, including the Parent-Teacher Association, lodges and churches, assured success of the relief movement after it had been started by School pupils,” Ray R. Addington, Southport high school principal, said. The school set aside two days when pupils brought food, which later was distributed to needy families. Miss Blanche Penrod, sponsor of the club, directed the work, assisted by the teachers. To avoid duplication of efforts, the township organized a central relief committee, which instituted a a "made work” program that provided employment for forty heads of families on township roads and at other jobs. Gave Benefit Programs "The situation now is well in hand, and at present there are only about forty families actually dependent on aid from the relief committee, where formerly there were more than 100,’” Otis Burnett, a leader in the relief movement, stated Besides donating about S4O to the work, the Booster Club aided in benefit programs giten at the high school.
