.!r. Havor; City Council persons; City staff; Citizens:
I have been re0uesced by the President of the Board of Directors of
Goodwill _industries of Southeast Zowa, Nr. James Shank, .and an active
r -ember .of the Goodwill Auxiliary -and -also--a mec:ber of. the-L'oard of,_. <_
Directors, :Its. Alma `!orse, to respond tonight. to several questions
they .felt were important to answer clearly and document to you. The
questions I am responding to are those major ones gleaned from dis-
cussions, recently held. Copies of this prepared response will be
duplicated and made available to the Council tomorrow for your records.
ay remarks regard the proposed workshop center for "Skills L'nlinited"
and the related proposed purchase by the city of the "Ne Too" building
located at 26 South :'an Buren Street. Let me first state that the
,program as proposed would be available to any low or-moderateincome
senior or disabled citizen in the Iowa City area.
-------------------------------------------------
------------------
'question: .,ill this building at'26South Pan Buren St. be used as an -
alternative location for the Goodwill Bu vet Store locate at IjLl E. -
Co les+e--St..
This building is not, nor will it- be, -used ,as,a replacement for, the
111 E. Collece St. building Budget Store whichhas been sold. A 3,500
square foot 'portion `of the Goodwill plant at 1410 lst Ave. has been
set aside and remodeling is in the -final -stages -where that Goodwill
Budget Stora is to he moved. The grand openin;_days are scheduled for `
January 30 and 31andFebruary 1 — nest week Thursday, Friday and
Saturday. Eventuallyit.-is --.expected that additional space at 1410
-1st Ave. can Lecome available for a lar"er Budg"et Store.
The primary activities that will be carried on in the "Me Too" build—
ing as described in the original proposal are:
1. A wor'kslion."or senior and disabled 'citizens 'in which a wide variety
of handcraft and hobby skills can be carried on by volunteer par-
ticipants in the, program.
2. A "hone basa" for an out—reach service in !:-hick senior and disabled
citizens volunteer to reachout to home -bound persons by being
available to r.o"drto their Places of residence.to teach handcraft
and l:obby'skills.
3. Provide a central >*arkecing,place wliere program participants can
consin the products of their handcraft and hobby activities for
sale.- The narlcetplace, 'by aiding a fee for selling, can produce
income to assist :in::; neral support of the program. The incoEce
earnnd ',•y tPe program participants themselves would make it pos-
sLi•Ie for thr-'� to rep lace the rata materials needed to undertaL•e
ennt:ICr_handv..rait cc 1!oa!Iy prnj.acC.
_ I
Page 2
4• Provide 'a location for the Jesse Go
located Frordon Boole Nook also being dis-
m the 111 E. Collere building.: It has been operated
by 23 different volunteer senior citizens during 1974. The,..goal
i5 to preserve this activity long sponsored (since 1^57) by the
r.i
AuBary• Gone of the booka are made available free from'Good-
wi11, but some 50 are direct donations to the Book '400"' by
interested citizens. The continued operation of the Book Nook
would provide another source of income for self support.
Over 23,500 used books were processed during 1974 and ov
volt.nteer hours were spent in this activity -by-senior cier 1,7�i0
tizens
books. with long tine, and in mast cases professional, interest in
5._ A marketplace'for items produced from rar materials for hobby`anil
are
handcraft activities that were supplied free from materials that
unusable in the Goodwill Industries program, or by other
donors. -In that these rat: materials arc made available free of
charge and the wort; required is volun
of the income realizCeered, a significant portion
the program. ed thereby would be available for supporting
To reiterate, I hope it is now obvious that the proposal submitted
doesnotintend this building to be used as an alternative location
for The Sudiet Store located at Ill I.% College. It is true that prior
to luatedcasa of the Community Development Pro.gram, the buildin 'was
evaluated as a possible alternative location for tLe Budget Store:
Thnc, however, ;gas dropped in favor of the relocation of the Budget
Store at 1410 13t Ave., again prior to the announcement of the Co�mun
ity Development Program. - -...
question? Can this huildin he-ade uatelv'fl
acceptable CO .L.^,2 for the ood roofed to make it
ur�ose pro osed?
I understand that Mr. Richard Duncan addressed himself to the tech
r.ical aspects of this natter at the hearing last week. -Our e testi-
gatien into thts ratter supports tine inforr..ation he submitted to you
at that, tine,

that the Citv of Iowa City
s`•>p_ef should retain Ouner-
. This is supported, I. am told by +
:raft = .ctin,. Cir.;,-!anager ,.•r. Dennis

It seems reasonablethatby-acquiring this oropert•r the city could
not be inconsistent with those longi-range plans. ;)uric?. the interin
between acquisition and actual city use, of the building and/or land,,
it would be good stewardship to let it be leased at a nominal fee
for the important purpose we have proliosed.
This building, is proposed to house a program for senior and fisabied
"citizens of Iowa City... ..t proSram of services that Goodwill Industries
of Southeast Iowa has volunteers to stipervise_a.t no cost to the city.
It is not proposed that this building ;e use.l.hv'Goodwill 'Industries
for any other purpose than that. This i consistent_ with the city
having funded par s, and funded the beautiful,,and.functional Gecrea-
t.ion Center building. With these facilities ,the city provides not
only ,the building but funds for their supervision, and o,)eration.i.
With the Goodwill; proposal, the city would be providinZ the building
only... Goodwill would provide the operation and supervision without
cost to the city.
Should the city be dissatisfied with the supervision and operation of
this program, in my judgment it would bewellwithin`t1te city's_pre-
rogative to select another agency to supervise and operate the work-
shop tenter that could do abetter job.
-In response to a_question with-regard-to what a^encies relate to ,
the program, I submit the following:
1. Private and public schools - scliool clothir., is available at
the request of the school nurse.
2. Visiting nurses Association refers needy persons.
3. The County home utilizes items available.
4. llone bound senior citizens are sent, materials for their hobbies.
5. Oaknoll residents knit and crochet articles using yarns, etc.
for needy children.
6. Reading materials are sent to hospitals when requested.
If there are any further questions, I :could be ha-,py to respond.-

of a comprehensive,
system, and then to show that Area Ten residents, including the elderly
and handicapped, not only need and want but also will use the system.
Next, the system must be evaluated with an eye toward continuing improvement
and meaningful development, and then to provide the results of this
evaluation and structure to all interested and appropriate groups who
request them, expecially those planning to initiate their own transportation
systems.
Most importantly, perhaps, S.E.A.T.S. must provide an economical means
for serving persons who need transportation, including elderly and handi-
capped, to participate mere freely and independently in the life of -their
community as well as the larger geographic and cultural area surrounding
them.
Such services must encompass ard interface with existing transit systems
and services which will complement and supplement existing services and
- -- - yet avoid wasteful duplication or undue competition. _
It must also be remembered that in providing transportation opportunities
to any Area Ten resident who needs themthe elderly and the handicapped

II. S.E.A.T.S. OPERATION IN IOWA CITY AND JOHNSON COINTT _
A. historical Sketch
1, Formation of the Johnson County S.E.A.T.S. Advisory Committee
Immediately following the Administration on Aging grant award in
July, 1973, representatives of the Area Ten Agency on Aging (AAA)
met with the Johnson County Board of Supervisors in order to inform
-- them of project details and to request that they monitor and evaluate
the proposed system throughout the project period. The aid and
advice of the Boaidof Supervisors was enlisted in forminga county-
wide advisory group for Johnson County S.E.A.T.S. The Board recommended
that the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission (JCRPC) be
approached in order to develop the S.E.A.T.S. county advisory committee.
Ten to thirteen meetings with various committees of the JCRPC were
attended by AAA in an effort to inform as many people as fully as
possible about the demonstration project. The primary request was
that JCRPC either elect an established group to become the S.E.A.T.S.
Committee or appoint representatives to serve in that capacity.
In December, 1973, the Executive Board of the JCRPC named a core
group to serve as the S.E.A.T.S.- committee. _`This committee was given
the prerogative to add to its membership if it felt that a wider
representation of interests in the county was desirable.
2. Sponsoring Agency Contracted
AAA staff membersheld-meetingswith existing transit operators in
Johnson County and Iowa City in order to inform them fully of the
pilot project oto encourage their participation, and to recommend
t for the system in Johnson County
that any who wished to subcontrac
7
!hould do so. No transit operator was interested in
contract.
The• S.E.A.T.S. Committee then sought other particij,anls snJ
subsequently recommended that Systems Unlimited, Inc., •a private
nonprofit agency providing programming for the handicapped, be
considered a sub—contractor/sponsoring agency of the system. In
January, 1974, the Area agency on Aging contracted with Systems
Unlimited to provide S.E.A.T.S. service in the county.
3. Implementation of the System
The seven—county S.E.A.T.S. Committee met in February, 1974 to advise
S.E.A.T.S. as to which counties should be furnished buses as soon
as the first four were received directly from the factory. Johnson
was one of the counties selected. After a week of promotion, in
which the minibus was driven throughout the county and rides were
given to interested parties, the minibus inaugurated its regular
service on February 25, 1974.
The Johnson County S.E.A.T.S. Committee had originally decided to
dispatch most of its own countyls rides through its sponsoring agency
rather than require the S.E.A.T.S. central dispatch base to do all
dispatching. This arrangement was revised, however, because it was
providing less than satisfactory performance. In 'larch, all dis—
patching became a responsibility of the S.E.A.T.S. central base.
Also, in March the second Johnson county minibus was delivered. It
was brought into service in April.
By August. 1.974, Systems Unlimited was finding itself too busy; to
continue as sponsoring agency. The S.E.A.T.S. cummi.tLeu; Lherefure,

TS.E.A.T.S. drivers In Johnson County_
The two full-time and two part-time
are directly supervised by Eileen Gehring, site supervisor, Johnson
County IIACAP and the S.E.A,T.S. and Elderly Services Coordinator, Johnson
- - County. The Johnson County S.E.A•T•S• office is located at the
Johnson County HACAP offices in Coralville. All Johnson County S.E•A.T.S.
personnel are Iowa City residents. `
D _ Available Service in Iowa City from 8 a.m.
Iowa City residents receive service within the-urban area
to S.p•m•-on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and
, -.Saturdays. Sunday service is.
from 8 a.m. to 3 p•m• In addition, night service, running from 6 p•m
to midnight, is provided on Wednesdays and Fridays-
in Johnson County
On other days,
Iowa City residents can go to other destinations
outside the urban area. on Wednesdays, they can go directly to out-

E. Interface with other Transit Suste:ns
on or competition
In order to avoid unnecessary and wasteful duplicati
with other transit services, urban area riders who wish to go to
destinations within the same urban area are encouraged by S.E.A.T.S.
to. utilize regular bus or taxi services. This leaves the S.E.MT.S.
bus more available to people who find it difficult to get to a bus
stop or to board alarge bus or whofinanciallycannot afford to
does not refuse people access
utilize a taxi. S.E.A.T.S. cannot and ,
to its services, however.
It must also be pointed out that riding S:ii.A.T.S. is more inconvenient
than taking a taxi if one has rhe money to pay the taxi fare. Taxis
are dispatched on the same day as the rider orders and they go directly
to the rider's destination. S.E.A.T.S• "bunches" riders from the same
general area before taking all to their respective destinations. Thus,
travel time on S.E.A•T.S. is longer. S.E.A.T.S. is also dispatched
at least one day before the trip is taken. Thus,S.E.A.T.S. services
and those of taxis are more complementary than they are competitive•
A regular city bus trip fare is less than that for a-S.E.A.T.S. trip.
—therefore, people able to use the city bus service will tend to use it
if they are able. For the reasons discussed
In preference to S.E. A.T.S.
above, it is felt that S.E.A.T.S* does not duplicate or "compete" with
other transit systems but primarily serves those finding it difficult

III. PROPOSAL STATEMENT
The Johnson County S.E.A.T.S. Committee recommends the Following Proposal
be submitted for consideration to the Iowa City City Council and the
Community Development Steering Committee by the S.E.A.T.S. Coordinator -
and Kirkwood Community College:
through the use of funds availiable to
That the city of Iowa City,
it fromtheHousing and Community Development Act of 1974, subsidize
-- - -- - 100% of the operations of the demonstration system coordinated by
Kirkwood Community College which directly serves-the residents,
health facilities and merchants of Iowa City. The full subsidy
will allow continuation of existing S.E.A.T.S. services beyond
June 1, 1975, and will provide the opportunity to demonstrate
expanded services.
The following services are proposed:
1. Expanded door-to-door service from rural Johnson County into
Iowa City for shopping and health care purposes. ;
2. Expanded door-to-door service from Iowa City into rural Johnson
County for city residents.
for Iowa Citians within Iowa City.
3. Expanded door-to-door service
transfer service for Iowa Citians requiring
4. Expanded inter-county
transportation from their homes to adjacent counties and for
people of other counties coming into Iowa City for health care,
shopping, and other purposes.
a City axis (fixed route, fixed
5• Work/school shuttle routes on low
}
schedules).
5. Tnter.-tom shuttle ji.tney style service with Iowa City as an
axis (frequent service througliout the dny)
12
7. Expansion of night door-to-door service to seven days a week
within the city,
8. Use of work/school shuttle vehicles in late morning and mid day
for serving needs of public agencies and recipients of services
and programs such as congregate meals,,home delivered meals,
daycare, health care, and so forth (periodic flexible schedule).
Door-to-door services will give dual and equal priority to elderly and
handicapped people, i.e., both groups can become "members" and thus
receive reduced rates and priority seating. All people of all ages can
ride, however. Shuttle services will not be on a membership basis nor
have any priority passenger groups. -
Two S.E.A.T.S. mini -buses are currently available to Johnson County and
Iowa City residents. To expand services and numbers of persons to be
served, the number of mini -busses is proposed to be expanded to 13.5.
A more detailed description of proposed project operations is provided -
in proposal section V entitled Operations.
- Continuation of the Area X S.E.A.T.S. Service past June 1, 1975, cannot
be guaranteed if totally dependant upon funding from the Administration
- on Aging.. Kirkwood Community College is in the process,., however, of
developing a comprehensive transportation demonstration proposal for
Area X to be submitted. tothe .Department o£_Transportation (DOT) for
funding under the Federal Highway Assistance Act of 1973, Section 147.
If the DOT request is approved for project initiation in June, 1975,
the request for assistance from theIowaCity City Council would be
decreased to a partial subsidy (approximately 25%) for Iowa City
transportation services.
13
l
A significantcriterionfor proposal evaluation by DOT is the :financial
participation of local, state and other federal programs and agencies
as well as governments. The probability of _receiving Federal-
.Highway
Assistance Act funds is therefore enhanced by any contribution made by
the Iowa City city Council toward project. -support.
Jones County communities have to date made generous contributions in.the
form of local support for project activities. The thrust of this proposal,
then, is to encourage good faith and active financial participation from
Johnson County cities anc towns in exchange for services envisioned
- -. herein..

6. Area Agency on Aging Iowa City Public Hearings -
Three public hearings were held in Iowa City in October and
November, 1974. More than 180 participants who attended voted
Congregate Meals and S.E.A.T.S. as number 1 and number 2 priorities
for Area Agency on Aging Services.
7. Letters of Endorsement from other Interested Organizations and Parties
Included within Appendix A are letters of endorsement from other
organizations and parties including the Oakdale Rural Health Center,
the Head Start Preschool Center, the Congregate Meals Program, the
Special Populations Involvement (S.P.I.), Recreation Education Program,
University of Iowa.
B. The Present Proposal and the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974
1. Steering Committee Priorities
The CDA Steering Committee's survey of.:Iowa .City residents' priorities
in terms of community development needs uncovered the following top
three priorities:
a. Senior citizens' service
b. Comprehensive planning (in areas such as transportation)
c. Mass transit
This proposal incorporates all three priorities. In so far as the
door-to-door service gives priority seating and reduced fares to -senior
adults, the proposal provides an indispensable supportive service to
senior ci.ti.zen facilities, programs and services.
16
i
In so far as the proposal provides for a full public transit
demonstration program (given the premise that demonstration projects
are a crucialelement in comprehensive planning for transit services)
the CDA Steering Committee planning priority is so incorporated.
Further, the S.E.A.T.S. System has made considerable strides toward
achieving the Steering Committee's mass transit' priority. However,
a:majority of effort has been focused on planning, implementing,
evaluating and revising initial operations. Although S.E.A.T.S. is
in an implementation stage, its viability over time has not been
- - sufficiently demonstrated. Various studies, such as one. done on a
similar system in Montana, assert that a_valid demonstration period
needs to be from eighteen months to two years. More time and funds
are needed, therefore, to -validate -the door-to-door service already
underway to say nothing of expanded services which have yet to be
initiated in Area Ten and Iowa City.
2. Supportive Services
The proposed S.E.A.T.S. program will supply fundamental supportive
services to developments generated through the Housing Commission,
to senior citizen facilities such as the Senior Citizen's Center and
other facilities older adults frequent such as the Recreation Center.
Especially important is the expanded evening S.E.A.T.S. service which
will allow access to these facilities during evening hours by S.E.A.T.S.
riders.
3. Consumer Income Levels
The Community Development Act focuses priority attention upon .meeting -
needs of low and moderate income people. Ninety to ninety-five.per
cent of all S.E.A.T.S. riders are t.n these income categories. Furthermore,
many of the activities that the transit system will support through
increased access primarily involve low and moderate income level
participants. 17
4. Prevention of Ghetto Areas
The downtown areas of many cities have 'become ghettoes of uprooted
senior adults .and handicapped people who have been forced to move
from firmer homes, away from friends and familiar settings, in order
to be nearer to services required daily. Under these trying`
- circumstances they have found little available transportation to meet
their specialized transit needs. This national pattern of frustration
can be reversed if cities provide for initial transportation needs
through door-to-door minibus services such as that provided by.S.E.A.T.S.
S.E.A.T.S. provides an economical means for the elderly and handicapped
to participate more fully and independently in the life of their
community while being able to continue to live in their own -houses.
The city of Cedar Rapids has already taken steps in this regard through
their Senior Citizens' Bus Service.
18
-A...Inter and Intra- County Travel.
ansit needs of the people of Iowa City, especially
In order to meet the tr
the special travel needs of the handicapped and elderly, which do not
stop at county lines or city limits, inter- and intra-county services
door-to-door service has already
are essential. The present S.E.A.T.S.
indicated that there is indeed a high and rapidly growing demand for
transit of the above types. Several S.E.A.T.S. vehicles will be out- -
fitted with special lifts to also ensure this service to persons confined _
to wheel chairs.
B. Door-to-Door Service W:.thin Iowa city Both Day and Night.
Expa..atno Elderly Demai d
According to the 1970 census, over 9% of the citizens of Iowa City
are 60 years, of age and over. This population is 61% of the total
number of seniors in Johnson County. There is, therefore, a very
large and specialized senior citizen transit demand within the city.
Currently, S.E./,.T.S. buses on scheduled Iowa city days are nearly
full to capacity. More vehicles and days of service are needed Just
to catch up with present demand much less to keep up with the rider-
ship growth rate. For example, the congregate meal program and
recreation center activities for seniors could today be made more
accessible to isolated older adults if more vehicles were available.
Serving the Special Transit Needs of the Handicapped
Expansion of door-to-door service involving more vehicles and hours
of service will be further necessitated with the addition of the handi-
capped as priority riders. Table I which follows provides the total
handicapped population of Johnson County for the mnJor closNlflcationn

a
of handicap Although no statistics are presently available for
Iowa City alone, it is safe to assume that a majority of these persons
reside in the city. Even with the significant overlap in the statistics
on the population of the elderly and the handicapped, it is evident
that the potential transportation demand of handicapped persons is
quite large.
The specially equipped S.E.A.T.S. mini -buses and the trained S.E.A.T.S.
drivers are already transporting handicapped persons regularly. There-
fore, S.E.A.T.S, is experienced in
providing handicapped transit. Lifts
will be added to several vehicles so that those confined to wheelchairs
may also ride.
Evening and Night Transit Service Serving Evening Education Classes.
In addition to the heavy transit needs of University of Iowa -students
attending evening classes, Kirkwood Community College sponsorsevening
classes at high schools and junior high schools throughout the city
having a present total enrollment of approximately 5,500. School
Officials report that more people could and would avail themselves of
further education if there were dependable evening transit service.
Without the provision of evening transportation services many people
are denied access to continuing education.
Evening Activities for Senior Adults.
More evening activities for senior adults are being planned in the
City tooffermore varied programming and to make fuller utilization
of existing facilities. If these activity programs are to be successful,
however, evening transit, meeting the specialized needs of elderly persons,
must be available.

Door -to -Door Night Service for Women.
Because of the danger of rape in urban areas, the Women's Resource
and Action Center has proposed an evening escort service for women
in Iowa City. With the proposed expansion of S.E.A.T.S. services to
include night transit, this vital need can be met efficiently with
already trained and experienced personnel and existing equipment.
S.E.A.T.S. mini -buses go door-to-door and are Equipped with two-way
radios. The lack of sufficient operating funds to expand evening
service has been the only issue making it previously impossible to
provide this kind of service. Such was the case when the Johnson
County S.E.A.T.S. Committee was approached by Iowa City hospitals to
provide evening transit for nurses getting off work at 11:00 P.M.
�. Work/School Shuttle Services to Axis on Iowa City.
It is proposed that two demonstration routes for work/school shuttle
services be selected and operationalized on a fixed route, fixed - -
schedule basis. Workers, students and others would be brought into
Iowa City at various times in the morning coinciding with major shifts
and class schedules. The same would be accomplished in the afternoon
and early evening to return the people to their hemes. If the
demand warrants it, evening shuttles could be initiated as well.
Shuttle services when demonstrated in other areas of the country have
- resulted in reduced absenteeism from work and classes and increased
punctuality and morale. An expansion of shuttle services would also
lessen the amount of money which corporations and city governments
must spend yearly to construct and maintain parking facilties for
employnen and retaidentrt.
i
t
With the Increasingly short supply of fuel, shuttle services can help
lessen the energydrainby transporting more people with less total
energy than would be consumed if commuters all used private automobiles.
And, with the promised higher gasoline prices and possible rationing,-
shuttle services promise a more economical and reliable means to get
to work, school, and training activities.
D. Inter -Town Jitney Style Shuttle Service with Iowa City Axis.
A demonstration inter -town shuttle route(s) will be selected serving
towns that have a regular travel patern between them throughout the _
day. Mini -buses will service this route on a frequent regular fixed
schedule transporting workers, students, shoppers, and visitors.
- - The benefits of this service are much the same as with thework/school
shuttles. This service will not only provide a reliable, economical
means of travel but will beof-_.financial -benefit -tothe rider (over
use of the private automobile) and will conserve vital, energy. The
service should also bring many more shoppers to Iowa City businesses.
Preliminary Shuttle Data. -
In addition to the large number of students who commute daily to the
University of Iowa and to the Kirkwood Community College courses
offered throughout the city, a large proportion of Iowa City workers
commute daily. 16.7% of University of Iowa employees and 22.7% of
the employees of Iowa City business and industry are regular commuters

E. Periodic Flexibile Schedule Service for Human Service Agencies and
Organizations.
Some of the very early morning and the evening work/school shuttle
runs will be covered by vehicles used in the door-to-door service
which starts at 8:00 A.M. The work/school shuttle runs arriving in
Iowa City between 7:30 and 8:00 A.M. and later would then be covered
by extra vehicles. These extra vehicles would be available from
approximately 9:30 A.M. through early afternoon (before they shuttle
people home _at_the end of the school/work day) for supplying any congregate
meal demand not able to be coveredbythe regular.S..E.A.T.S. door-to-
door service. These extra shuttlebussescould alsotransportbulk
food carriers from the centralcongregate meals kitchen to the various
serving sites and transport the 40+ individual meals needed to be taken
to people who cannot leave their homes.
In addition, other services which could be provided in this time
period include but would not be limited to such things as taking ,daycare
children out for short daytime outings, taking daycare children period-
ically to health facilities for medical, dental check-ups, serving the
periodic needs of programs and clients of HACAP and the Department of
Social Services, and taking handicapped persons from training centers
to therapy sessions.
F. In Summary.
= This proposalprovidesa maximum of varied services to Iowa Citians
to serve a maximum breadth of trip purposes with a minimum number of
vehicles and personnel. It will "naturally'.' provide important
r:upportive sarvicas to a wise range of nee2aA activities and facilities
including:
i
25
a. Daycare centers
b. Senior Citizen Center and activities
C. Iowa City Recreation Center facilities and activities
d. "Skills Unlimited" Workshop Center and other _work and training

Also grateful to unMc wn benefactors is Rich Brass of the Area
10 Agency on Aging, who serves as coordinator for the SEATS
program
-"Early last month Brass received complimentary tickets for
blrnself and his family and another family of his choice to attend
thebeneflt chili supper held at West High School by the West Care -
Program, of which Ron Eide is coordinator. (This group is trying
to raise money for a bus trip to Disneyland.)
Accompanying the tickets for Brass was a letter that said In
part; "Please believe me, there is no cost, nothing for Iron to buy
when you getthere. This is a waythat a few of the younger people
have of saying 'Thanks' for the long hours you have spent in
trying to make SEATS a success." It was signed simply, "Several
Teenagers."
_ e s s
Brass has formulated the following acknowledgement of - this thoughtful gesture:
"My family and I want to thank the West High teenagers
who sent this beautiful letter enclosing Uckete to their chili
supper held Dec. 17.1 also want to heartily congratulate and
thank all the-West High students on their chili supper project
Ralf,
•"ITe supper was very delicious and very filling. The hosts
were most cordial. More than this, the project itself, it seems .
' to me, has helped foster a deeper community spirit among all
lu the West High community.

Re., Honduras Appeal to Mayors
Dear Lorna:
At your request we have endeavored to establish the legitimacy of an appeal
for -funds directed to the Mayor of your city from an organization apparently
headquartered in the' Honduras.
Exhaustive efforts at Area Office and in Washington have failed to confirm
one way or the other the legitimacy of the organization and its appeal. The
United States State Department is not aware of this organization; the International
Affairs Office of 11ational Red Cross similarly is unaware of the existence of this
crgani zation; and
the Chicago Office of the Honduras Embassy is also unable to
supply any information regarding the organization and its appeal.
Invariably, assistance provided by the United States Government to nations
affected by catastrophe is channelled through the respective anbassies and private
assistance is channelled through the American flational Red Cross thrcugh the League
of P-w!d Gross Societies to the Red Gross Society serving the country affected by
the disaster. These two avenues remain unassailable channels for providing disaster
relief assistance and it would appear that any assistance generated in your-city
for t!lv disaster uperatJ cn ccul,jwo
- d L.w�u6h the tent- -es
to which I refer with confidence that the funds would be expended as the donors
intended.
As you are aware, so many tines during disaster occurrences spontaneous
organizations are created by well intentioned persons but whose efforts are often
duplicative and in some instances in competition with the existing and proven
divaster services such as the American Red Cross. Perhaps this information is
inadequate to the inquiry of your Mayor, however, it is all that is immediately
available and I would suggest that you relay to him vihat we have been able to obtain
with the assurance that should information be subsequently provided in a more
definitive nature we will pass it on.
Sinrely y
