In a country village Hi ere W usually some one woman who I. e sort of village mother to whom folks go In times of trouble. who knows every one nod Is always busy getting people to help Uiose In need. Taking her "* * u example, the Social Unit organisation lias found In each liny block village a woman who nervs as a -block worker." who knows when anyone help of nuy kind nnd sees that help I* given by the right agency. Till* worker Is • bvsefi by the people of her block and Is paid enough so tlrnt she will be enabled to employ sotOr-one to do part of her housework during the timer that she Is "mothering" bur block. Tho •hlrt) one black workers, together, form what D -ailed the Citizen.V Council. The work of this tlllzeti.'

the block worker* in the Citizens' Coun<-H should find that there are many men out of work In the various blocks. Hie business nnd labor groups would be held responsible lor the working out of some plan to meet the problem. In this way. everyone In the Social Unit dlririrt Is enabled to work for the whole rommunlly at the s’uui- time Hint be is working for himself.

When the doctors and nurse* of the Social Unit district were orgnulzed they found that there were many hablea dying every year quite unueccaaarity. eilher because little diseases which they contracted were not taken In time, or because their mothers were not properly educated in raring for thorn.

A little while ago the people of this district decided that they could £ out their prole I eras as they should unless they knew *ch other, so they decided to take a census of themselves and fit*' out who they were nnd where they lived and what countrisa they came from, how rooms they lived In and what they did for log. "Uplift" organizations have taken census of this kind before, but probably never before has n district voted through Its block reprpsentaUve* nnd It skilled group* to fnak* a study of Its own life | and present that study I to the world. The people were willing to make It. because they were lining It themselves; and because they knew that If they found housing conditions had they bn-1 an organization which could remedy them.
