Show Wayne K. Hint on Prof, authors essay V) q f A " j ) An essay on the welfare plan of the Mormon Church, coauthored by a Southern Utah State College faculty member, has been included in "The Exodus and Beyond: Essays in Mormon History" edited by Lyndon W. Cook' and Donald Q. Cannon and published by Hawkes Publishing Company. Wayne K. Hinton, associate professor of history at SUSC, coauthored the essay "Origin of the Welfare Plan of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Latter-day Saints" with Dr. Leonard J. Arrington, director of the LDS Historical Department. Based on scripture which instructed the Saints to "care for their own," the LDS welfare plan grew out of the Great Depression of the 1930s. In the article Hinton and Arrington trace the origins and purpose of program. "In the article, we argue that the welfare plan was established, not to oppose so-called degrading tendencies of the New Deal, but to work in concert with government govern-ment to provide relief for its own members who were victims of the Depression," Dr. Hinton said. "In 1935, Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration ad-ministration announced its intention to cut direct" relief to welfare recipients. The Church welfare plan in April 1936 was essentially a reaction to this projected curtailment cur-tailment of federal relief." Hinton is a member of the Western History Association, the Mormon History Association and the Organization of American Historians and is a board member of the Utah Historical Society. He is a consultant for a 20-part series on Utah history currently in preparation by KUED Television. Hinton's book review, "Your's Sincerely, John M. MacFarlane," will appear in the April issue of the Utah Historical Quarterly. His other publications include an article on Millard Fillmore included in the June 19.80 Utah Historical Quarterly, and a soon-to-be published article on a grandson of Brigham Young, "The Intellectual and the Mormon Church: Mahonri Young, A Case Study," which was delivered at a convention on Mormon culture held at Brigham Young University. The SUSC faculty member wrote a chapter on the political and economic history of Utah in the 1930s which is included in-cluded in "Utah's History," a basic textbook text-book used in Utah colleges and universities.
