Assistance For Unemployed Many Orem residents are experiencing the hopelessness and want created by unemployment during this critical economic period. Among the major industries affected are U.S. Steel's Geneva Works, which has laid off hundreds in recent months, Signetics, which has been forced to cut back and will not resume hiring until the beginning begin-ning of 1983. The building industry in Orem is at a virtual standstill, affecting numerous construction workers. Citizens who are suffering from reduced, or absent income arising from these negative developments are unable to buy basic necessities and make payments on former obligations. Many have resorted to bankruptcy as a means to absolve nonessential nonessen-tial expenditures, reserving meager incomes to provide basic needs for their families. Fortunately, programs are available to assist those in temporary need at this time, i.e., food stamps, unemployment compensation, compen-sation, energy assistance, welfare, job training, LDS Church welfare and other aids. These programs are intended to help citizens who are in need and have nowhere else to turn. Unfortunately, some who would qualify for help either are unaware of the availability, or how to apply, or they feel pressure in our work oriented society to refuse any kind of assistance. Often children suffer because of a parent's blind conviction. If people are truly in need, and cannot help themselves, whether due to physical disability, or because of the difficult economic situation, it should be entirely acceptable ac-ceptable to receive help through programs designed for the purpose. Those who are interested should contact the Office of Assistance Payments in Provo, Job Service, or, for members of the LDS Church, contact your religious leader, and former Geneva employees may contact the Local No. 2701 Union for information about commmunity service organization to help unemployed steelworkers. There is no shame in obtaining reasonable assistance to help care for needy families. We all must share in the economic burden of our time.
