Mechem, trincipal, Newton High School Mr. Robert Simmons Mr. Richard Ueisman Chairman Sharf opened the meeting at 8:00 p.m. The minutes of the December meeting were approved. Mr. Sharf spoke about the motion passed in December (moved by Judge Rose, seconded by Judge Mitchell) to give $100. to Hotline to determine the need for a seven-day weekly Hotline Service. He said that, according to Mayor Basbas, this would be an illegal expenditure since CRC may expend program funds only when it is a major collaborator in the program. Mr. V/eisman stated that he was similarly informed by the ilayor. He added, that Mr. Fred i.hitmeyer, ^resident of Hotline, who could not attend the CRC meeting, had told him that Hotline already was operating seven days weekly, and was not in need of funds for operating expenses because: a) most calls are incoming, and b) the Community Service Center organization is subsidizing the program. The only need for finances wouid be to publish advertising materials. Miss Steinberg added that Mr. '..hitmeyer also felt that an answering service would have defeated Hotline's purpose. A motion was made by Mrs. Houghton that Mr. tfenney, Chairman of the CRC's Youth Committee, be asked to act as a liaison to Hotline exploring with Mr. Whitmeyer any existing need for a joint activity. The motion was seconded by Judge Rose ' and carried. Mr. Sharf announced that the Interracial Committee would be subdivided into two committees - one on Employment, to be chaired by Jerome Grossman, and one on Housing, to be headed by Mrs. Eioise Houghton. Members of the Employment Committee named by Chairman Sharf are: Mr. VJiiliara Jones, Mr. James Bergantino, Mr. Albert Beisel, Mr. -'aul Burke, Mr. Joseph Mcpherson, and Mr, Lewis Songer.
