It's Time We Awakened As every deep-thinking citizen in Sullivan county knows, the future of things to come depends upon how farsighted our leaders are and how much effort is expended by both leaders and citizens toward attaining the prosperous, progessive future so vital for the health and happiness of the community. In Sullivan county the Community Council composed of leaders from every walk, are concentrating their efforts toward the betterment of Sullivan county through an ever increasing drive for new industries, housing, educational facilities, and agriculture- 1 .This movement, however, must have your active support if it is to succeed. It is up to each citizen to act individually in whatever can "be offered to" facilitate and further the council's efforts by offering suggestions, comments and any aid which will add materially to the movement. , It's your future, Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan County, and the future of your children. It's a job for thinkers and doers not shirkers and dissenters. '

In this way housing facts for your community will be available for immediate use. 3. As soon as possible, the Regional Expediter will have a representative contact you to work on a continuing basis with you and your committee.
The urgency of this program is both a matter of need and a matter of time. The sooner my Regional Housing Expediter hears
from you, the sooner he can be r

, Mr. Wyatt's letter which fol. I lows, that you immediately projceed to establish a truly representative Emergency Housing
Committee that will include all groups and which will bring about a solution of the housing situation in Sullivan. Yours truly, M. F. Stephens. (This letter was delivered to Mayor McGuire, August 6th, 1946 at 11:10 A. M. by Mr. Burt Burton, Locality Expediter.)
xne mayor s Emergency Housing Committee
In the same sense that the President's directive has made it necessary for me to review and
reorganize the Government's ap
proach to the national housing crisis, and to develop the Veter
ans' Emergency Housing Pro
gram, it is even more essential
for communities to review and reorganize their approach, so
that our methods may be unified
I recommend therefore that you
appoint a committee to accomp
lish this purpose. In many in
stances excellent committees are doing effective work, but selection of a new one to most present
conditions would in nowise1 reflect on them; in fact,' you' will probably choose some members of existing committees for your new committee. Such a committee representing those civic groups basically involved in this program is a necessity for spearheading action in your community. It will be the

September 23rd, 1946 Mr. A. G. McGuire Mayor, City of Sullivan, Sullivan, Indiana, pear Sir, . Mr. Burt Burton, Locality Expediter for the National Housing Agency, advised me on September 21st, that you had sent him
the names of the following four
men who were to serve as your Emergency Housing Committee; A. C. Owens, R. C. Kerlin, Harold Campbell and Frank W. McVicker. These names were sent in by you about 6 weeks after he tailed on you. Why the delay? Mr. Burton also advised me that these men are not sufficiently representative of the groups
that must be represented on this f focal point of all
committee, which must include munity action on housing. It is the Veterans, Labor Unions, fin- designed for function throughout ancing institutions, Protestant this emergency program, for a and Catholic Churches, and all period of two years. It is to be other groups that may be inter- our contact with your community.

. It. is suggested that you head
the committee personally. How. ever, if you cannot do that, you
still can bring the full prestige of
your leadership and your, office
to bear by your continuing close
personal interest and by selecting
as chairman a particularly dis
tinguished citizen capable of leading and inspiring others. The
honor in this instance may be
measured by the tremendous re
sponsibility which falls upon the committee; the importance of the committee cannot be over-esti
mated. Representation should .in
clude: t .j
1. Local Government, including ;
local housing authorities.
2. The building industry, in.
eluding representation from at least one or more of the following groups; materials manufacturers and suppliers, home builders, real estate operators, home . financing institutions.
3. Labor. 4. Veterans' Organizations. 5. A representative of civic business groups. 6. Public interest groups. Your committee should be kept as small as possible to insure a compact working organization. Meetings should be regularly
scheduled, opent and well publicized. Membership on the committee must be carefully selected to insure that each member fully represents the community groups with which he is affiliated, and to make certain that veterans of minority groups share equitably in the housing program. The abilities and resources of all community organizations should be mobilized for this responsibility, but successful experience in many cities has shown that it is better to retain a small central working committee and to use the services of other civic groups in sub-committees working on special problerns.. Among such committees should be: a. One to determine local emergency housing goals. b. A second for Public Relations. ' c. A third to work with the local housing referral center. There are communities where local housing authorities have tenant selection services which can be, augmented to accomplish this purpose. d. A fourth for modernization of building codes and zoning ordinances. ' .' ' - e. Others as necessary. I repeat, this strong 'central committee, in each community is a basic necessity for our combined approach to the housing emergency. 7 Community Responsibilities to be met through the Mayor's Emergency Housing Committee: 1. Preparation of accurate, detailed, and up-to-date minute surveys of housing heeds in your community where such do not already exist. From such data .your committee" will determine your community's housing goals. 2. Clearing away ' of local ob-
, stables which might impede es
sential housing tonstruction in your community even when the necessary materials become available nationally, ty a. Encouraging modernization

"Ypu got to have a hide like a rhinoceros," she said,
ROBERT was bitter about the situation. There was no middle ground, he said. Private places charged as much as his whole salary. At Juniper you paid what you could afford. "You get the best medical treatment," he said, "but the surroundings . . . The public acts as if mental ill . tiess did not exist. They leave it entirely to the politicians. There's a lot of whoopla for tuberculosis and cancer and nfantile paralysis, but to hell with the increasing number ' i mental cases . . ." Then at last Virginia had to go to Staff again. The conidence she had gained vanished. The nurse, Miss Vance, took her to a dressing room arid hooked up an iron to press her gray suit. Miss Vance became slightly confidential. "In this busi- ' ness you got to have a hide like a rhinoceros," she said.
"Some are above average," the nurse said.
"I'll see you before you leave," the doctor told Virginia.
"It's worse for a nurse. Oh, I don't want to make us out holy but there's easier ways to make a living. Me I got a little chicken farm in Jersey. Inherited it. I'm always going there but I wouldn't feel right about walking out, especially now when nurses are scarcer than ever." " On the way to Staff, they stopped to let a group of children run past. "They surely don't have children in this hospital," Virginia said. I cannot bear it if children have to live here, she thought. "Some of them are above average in intelligence." her marching partner said gently. "Genius type. But they're better off here than they would be at home." Virginia wasn't so sure of that. The shouting children passed. No one could say they did not look happy. This Staff meeting would tell if Robert's plan would
work. To get her out, he had promised to take Virginia home out of the state. They had seemed pleased. Now a dark man who had a pipe in his mouth told Virginia to sit down. Other doctors looked at their papers. The dark man said he understood that her husband planned to take her out of the state. "Yes," said Virginia. How emphatically he said that "out of the state." He took the pipe from his mouth. "Well," he said. "I believe we have sufficient information. I'll see you before you leave. Is there anything you would like to say?" She swallowed. "No," she said. "I can't think of anything. Should I?" "No, no," said the doctor quickly. "That will be all . . (Continued tomorrow) '
