For Drugs and Prompt’ Delivery Dial 7741 The Dependable Drug Store STATE DRUG STORE 2416 Hillsboro Street Dr. Winston Sends Message; Continues Interest In Meredith By Mabel Summers It was with much lamentation that the Sociology students saw Dr. Ellen Black Winston, head of their department, leave last June to become North Carolina’s Welfare Commissioner. Dr. Winston is it very unas suming person and shies away from questions relating person ally to her. When asked about a typical day’s work in a recent interview, she replied that every day was interesting, different, and very full; that no matter how well planned it was, unexpected things always popped up. She is “boss” of the seventy workers in the State Welfare offices, and works through and with the hundred county welfare depart ments in the state. Last week she visited three counties and every such trip involves many talks. Dr. Winston says that on these trips, she meets many parents of ex- and present Mere dith students. Looking like a model in a black suit with crisp blouse, Dr. Winston sat in her big office on the fifth floor of the State Ofiice Building and related interesting facts about her work. Briefly, the state welfare program con sists of grants to needy and serv ices to all, regardless of economic conditions. Last month, the de partment helped 65,000 individ uals or families in North Caro lina through the hundred county departments. About 40,000 of these received grants and 25,000 received services only. Last year about 250,000 individuals or families received some kind of assistance through county de partments of welfare. Dr. Win ston stressed the fact that all the welfare departments were put ting increasing emphasis on pre- meelJflfltlll’S The New Love of the Younger Set . . . $7.95 Young, lovely, ctose-to-the-head little cloche hat thot smoothly helmets your head and smartly complements your toilored costumes.

When asked if she had any message for Meredith students. Dr. Winston said that she missed them a great deal« and is always happy to come in contact with any of them. She is particularly pleased that several of last year’s graduates have come to the de partment seeking information as to jobs in welfare work. Dr. Winston sees a tremendous need for well qualified young women in the -field of welfare work, and she believes that they should be encouraged to take every advantage for doing grad uate work for this means better jobs and better salaries, with more varied opportunitiig^ for service. Incidentally, sh6^' will be most happy to have aiky in terested ones to visit her office. In the program for improve ment of the state’s welfare work. Dr. Winston said that a new Merit System of classification for college graduates in Soci ology had been worked out, with a beginning salary of one hun dred ten dollars for a Case Work Aide. Dr. Winston is superbly trained and capable of handling the job as head of North Caro lina’s Department of Welfare and we at Meredith are proud of our association with her. We wish her tremendous success.
