WILLIAM HABER State Relief Administrator • MORE THAN 200,000 families and single persons are on relief rolls of the eighty-three county emergency re lief administrations in Michigan in November, 1934. These "cases" represent in excess of 800,000 men, women, and children, 17% of the population of the entire state. These persons have come to the end of their own resources, have exhausted in surance policies, have used up all their credit, and have finally after various efforts at sustaining themselves, had to apply for assistance. When they applied, they were "investigated." A complete record of their resources was made and upon the evidence presented, cepted as "eligible" for relief. their savings, have cashed they were ac in their Where are these people? How much do they get? What does it cost? Who pays the bill? What is likely to be the trend of the months ahead. This article will provide some brief answers to these five questions. Where Are These People? The relief load is not concentrated in any one district. Every county in the state is affected. The mining coun ties in the Upper Peninsula, the industrial counties around Detroit and in western Michigan are hit somewhat harder than others, but neither the rich agricultural counties nor the cut-over sub-marginal counties above the Bay City- Muskegon line has escaped. The Upper Peninsula is par ticularly in a bad way. Of the fifteen counties in that area, eight have between 25% and 40% of the popula In Kewee tion on relief. naw county for the month of September, 75.8% of the people are being supported by ad ministration.

An unusually large number of the people on relief, in excess of 26% of the relief load in Michigan, are classified as skilled, semi skilled, and professional workers. The balance are un skilled workers. Among this large group are found ac countants, actors, agents, architects, dentists, engineers, a few lawyers, many musicians, a few physicians, hundreds of salesmen, nearly a thousand teachers, several hundred trained nurses, and many other professional classifications, in addition to 26,000 skilled workers. They represent a industrial occupations and cross-section of Michigan's for professions. They have come on relief, primarily, one reason. They have no job. They seek work. In the absence of work, they are compelled to accept, what we are frank to confess is, a humiliating dole. The public hears too much about the occasional abuses. The malingerer and chiseler gets on relief rolls because to work. That such abuses exist, he does not want they no one denies. We are convinced, however, represent a very small fraction of these 200,000 cases, possibly not exceeding 5%. They are more successful liars than we are investigators. The relief administration is constantly on the alert to weed them out. that How Much Do They Get? for direct in Michigan is necessary. No one on relief is able to maintain a decent standard of living with relief budgets. Families to get on relief are able food, clothing, shelter, fuel and such emergency medical c a re as In S e p t e m b e r, 69% of all funds spent re lief went for food; 9.6% for shelter; 7.1% for m e d i c al a nd care; 3.2% for f u e l; 8.9% E a c h, for clothing. family's allowance is deter the budgetary mined upon deficiency existing in t h at family.

Fourteen men saw action during the game. High sccring honors went to Herrick, the flashy guard, who snared four field goals and a- free throw to tally nine of the total points. Rouse and VanFassen followed closely with seven points each.

(Mickey) Cochrane, manager of the Detroit Tigers, as the main speaker of the evening. Cochrane spoke almost exclusively about his experiences in baseball. He referred, however, to State's successful season, offered congratulations and said he believed the Spartans and Tigers had two things in common. He de clared both were light, fast outfits, and had to offset physical handicaps with brains and a good offense.
