Civic Clubs Urge Aid For Jobless u Urging drastic and united action to attack the unemployment situation situ-ation in Southern Utah in particular, partic-ular, and the state generally, authorizing surveys to determine the nature and possibilities of attracting at-tracting new industries to Southern South-ern Utah, were some of the high points brought out at the two-day session of the Associated Civio Clubs of Southern Utah, held at Fishlake last Saturday and Sun day. D. H. Whittenburg, a member mem-ber of the association, represented Gunnison at the meeting, and he declared the convention was a big success from the standpoint of putting Southern Utah in the limelight. In the many addresses made by eminent men attending from Salt Lake and other centers, and at the suggestion of the directors of the associated clubs, it was voted lo concentrate upon Jobless relief projects, regardless of the action of the federal government. The directors ordered a complete list ing of projects possible under the federal relief measure passed re cently by congress. Reed Gardner Df Cedar City and W. J. Love of St. George were appointed as a committee to draft a resolution to give local contractors and laborers labor-ers preference on all public construction con-struction projects. In urging action to favor local firms, Mr. Gardner pointed to the controversy which has raged in Salt Lake over construction of the post office addition, the contract for which was awarded to an outside out-side contractor. Mr. Gardner appealed ap-pealed for a united and definite expression of opinion on this matter mat-ter before the contract is let for the Cedar City federal building. State Senator George Jefferson of Beaver County attacked the ambiguity of promises already received re-ceived in regard to the letting of road contracts, and the directors passed a resolution favoring the abandonment of road contracts and the adoption of the force ac count system as a relief measure. It was the consensus of the directors direc-tors that the use of the force account ac-count system would be more adaptable ad-aptable than contracts to providing provid-ing emergency employment, and It was said that the resolution tallies with expressions of opinion already received from the U. S. bureau of public roads and the state road commission. Prospective benefits for the counties from a general improvement improve-ment program, to be launched by the state road commission, also were discussed.
