LETTER

EDITOR

Dear Editor: I see you have printed another of the League of Women Voters’ tireless (and tiresome) jeremiads against the township trustee’s administration of poor relief. Among other items, it is Implied that poor relief is of the same order of size and complexity as our school activities and that elimination of 1009 administrative units, many requiring only part time work and consequent low pay, would result in major economies of operation. Pardon me if I don’t quite believe the latter and surely hope the former will never be the case. If the League is really interested in efficiency, economy, and professional competence in poor relief, as it professes, an unparalleled opportunity to express its concern is available. I refer to COP-CAP; let me ask (and answer) a few questions bearing on the points made by the League concerning the township trustee. Q. Do COP-CAP’s activities affect relief of the poor? A. Has the word “poverty” changed meaning recently? Q. Does it use existing welfare agencies ? A. Isn’t that what it is not supposed to do? Q. Is it a local activity handled by local people? A. Have we been misinformed? Q. Are its employees professionally trained? A. Has anyone seen a description of the professional background of all full-time (and/or part-time) COP-CAP employees? Q. Is it operated economically and efficiently? A. Has anyone seen a breakdown of expenditures, including salaries of COP-CAP employees (full- or part-time) ? (Incidentally, such information concerning the trustee’s activities is readily available.) I also strongly suspect the industrious ladies of the League can readily find in the so-called poverty programs established under OEO throughout the state and nation many instances of all the types mishandling, inefficiency, and waste they attribute to the trustee—but on a vastly enlarged scale. From the above, it would thus appear that the League’s principal objection to the township trustee is the fact he is a local official, elected by the people of his locality, to handle a local condition, with money raised for that purpose, at least in part, by local taxation. Although I fully realize that government officials are not always what they should be, as witnessed by the U. S. House of Representatives’ recent (and continuing) disciplining of one of its own members, I do believe there are many better examples of irresponsible government than the township trustees’ handling of poor relief to serve as targets for the good ladies’ virtuous wrath! In fact, I would like especially to commend our own trustee for his humane and courteous handling of his responsibilities in the best interests both of those needing assistance and of those providing it. I note your article mentioned the League only by headline. I think all presentations of this type by any organization should be clearly identified. For the League, of Women Voters, I would suggest a heading: “This information is supplied by the League of Women Voters, an organization whose political activities has led the U. S. Department of Internal Revenue to rule that contributions made thereto are not deductible for incomt tax purposes.”

Spring-Summer Fashions Show Opens In Paris

PARIS UPI — Afghan pants, ’ slim enough to rate as loose stockings, opened the French spring-summer high fashion shows today. Jacques Esterel, the first designer to show on the opening day of the style previews for international buyers and press, was the designer of the afghan

pants.

The thin tubes of printed silk sometimes appeaed in the collection under tunics. But Esterel also showed short dresses with and without afghan to prove they were not tunics. Esterel kept his hemlines four to six inches above the knee and

favored a windblown silhouette. Brightly colored chiffon scarves sailed along at the necklines of his daytime clothes. Esterel carried his chiffon, bright colors and prints through into after dark clothes. A beaded mauve cocktail dress was shown with a fluttery coat in lime chiffon.* Esterel put watches on his low heeled shoes. One model had to pick up her heels to tell the time as the watch was on the back of the shoe. The Esterel collection opened the more than 10-day round of Paris fashion showings for international buyers and the press.

Luxury Liner Resumes Cruise FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. UPI — With its passengers in a mood of high hilarity following a weekend of “games and fun" while stranded on a sand bar, the SS Atlantic steamed away early today for a balmy Caribbean cruise. Shortly before midnight Sunday lines ware cast off and the gleaming white 593-foot luxury vessel made a second attempt to get out of the Port Everglades channel — the same one where it slid to a halt Friday night. This time the skipper, Capt. Charles Troxel, 51, kept a harbor pilot aboard until the ship got out of the channel. It marked a second bon voyage for two-thirds of the ship’s 313 passengers and the ,330 crewmen who pampered them with almost around-the-clock entertainment while tugboats huffed and puffed to free the ship Saturday and Sunday. Since it became stranded, the Atlantic became ope of the newest attractions to this tourist mecca. Some 1,500 beach buffs shouted advice to the captain. Bets were placed on whether the ship would get free and the crowd cheered lustily when six tugs finally wrenched the 14,000 ton ship from the sand. Hundreds of pleasure boats only 800 yards, and bSC HM ringed the ship stuck offshore only 800 yards, and became such a nuisance that the Coast Guard had to order a cutter to chase them away.
