This Day in History: 1935-06-17
The Citizens Welfare Association began meeting in the basement of Paul’s lunchroom. The members were elated at the news that after many months of waiting that E. R. A. had been approved for the Township. The welfare plan would do much to relieve the meager food checks provided through the Town Poormaster. It was announced that a few members had found work. All the members once more pledged that they would accept relief only until they can find jobs which would support their families. Anyone who could use unskilled labor was asked to write to the Corresponding Secretary Francis Fitzgerald at P. O. Box 54, Mahwah. (Bristow)
