MONTHLY REPORT
Mrs. F. B. Moss Has Busy
Month During June—Poor
Relief Continues Active
Rutherfordton, Aug s.—The mon
th of June was a busy one for the su
perintendent of public welfare, Mrs.
F. B. Moss, despite the fact that it
was a summer month. Below she
gives a resume of her activities for
June:
There was still a preponderence
of work with the Juvenile Court, one
case having been carried over from
the former month, and nine new
ones coming up, eight of which were
delinquents, and one dependent. A
number of the youthful defendants
have been placed on probation, and
with strict supervision it is hoped
that the offense will not be repeated.
Three of the cases were negroes, two
being disposed of by private home j
placement, and one case dismissed j
for lack of evidence.
Eleven probation interviews were
held during the month, either at the
department headquarters in the
court house, at the superintendent's
home or in the home of the child.
School vacation being the order of
the day, the Attendance Work was
limited to routine visits to a number
of homes where children have a habit
of irregularity, in the hope that next
year parents will be more consistent
in sending children to school. >J
Poor Relief continues more active
than was expected during the sum
mer months, but not many required
much assistance. By the end of June
several families which had been re
ceiving temporary assistance because
of farm conditions were dropped,
sufficient work now being available j
to meet the needs. Among the cases S
requiring no material assistance, but
help in planning, were included prob
lems of three old ladies, two from a
neighboring state, and one from a'
nearby county. After communicat- !
ing with the former homes they were j
all returned, one to a relative, the '
others to the county homes of their
respective settlements. Two ex-ser
vice men help, one with'
compensation adjustment, the other
being sent to Government Hospital.
Movement was set on foot for the ap- 1
prehension and return of a patient
who had eloped from the State hos
pital and appeared in the county.
Applications for hospitalization were .
filed for two epileptics, and one fee- i
ble minded client applied ,for train- 1
ing school.
-Numerous services of all kinds
were extended through the depart-!
ment, arrangements having been' 1
made for tonsillectomy for three 1
children, one application filed for aj 1
crippled child to Orthopedic Hospi-' 1
tal at Gastonia, free medical service 1
for two indigent patients, and dental 1
service for one. # s
During the month 31 age certifi-P
cates were issued to children be- I'
tween the ages of 14 and 16 years.! 1
Employment was found for three. 1
adults. There were 127 callers at | ;

Josephine Cockcroft, of Bal
