VANCEOffICWLS AT WELFARE MEET L ' Attend Conference Uni Louis i burg and Hear Leaders In Addresses •j -- ,! a number of officials of Vance j county attended the Central District Welfare Conference in Louisburg yes | terday and heard addresses by State I leaders in the work. Nineteen coun ! ties are included in the district, most j of which were represented at the con ’ ference. Mrs. W. T. Bost, of Raleigh, 1 State commissioner of welfare, and others discussed various phases of the theme. “Social Welfare —a Local, State j and Federal Responsibility.” Mrs. Bost. who was introduced by State Senator Edward F. Griffin, 1 spoke on the subject, “To What Ex -1 tent Is Social Welfare a Public Re ! sponsibility?” She pointed out that a century ago 1 social security and social welfare were j regarded as a strictly local proposi tion. “The country doctor, church and ! civic societies, and the ‘Lady Bounti ful' found in every community, con ' trived to care for the needy. However, such agencies fostered humility and 1 self-abasement on the part of the re j cipients of aid. That was in the horse : and buggy era, before the machine I age. That theory is now outmoded. The country now is aware, as never | before, of the public’s responsibility j for the welfare of its citizens. For the | first time the Government has made | an effort to find out what the people need and provided agencies to give it i lo \ hem.” Mr?. Bost outlined the various me thods being used by local. State, and federal governments to carry out the program. She insisted that there can e no retrenchment now and that since the problem is an inter-state one it must be treated by a national approach. Mrs. T. W. Bickett, of Raleigh, re sponded to greetings extended by Mayor W. C. Webb and Superintend ent W. R. 'Mills. The program for the morning session included the annual message of J. B. Hall, president of the 'State Association of County Su perintendents of Public Welfare; “Old ; Age Pensions,” by W. C. Ezell; “Pub -1 lie Health Services,” by Dr. J. C. Knox; “Quality Service to Families,” y Miss Anna A. Sassatt; “Child Wel l fare Services,” by Miss Lily Mitchell; | “Aid to the Blind,” by Dr. Roma Cheek; “Unemployment Insurance,” by Major A. L. Fletcher; “Treatment of Juvenile Delinquents,” by Dr. R. Eugene Brown; “Quailty Service to Families,” by T. L. Grier. At the afternoon session there was j a general discussion of State and | county welfare problems relating to ! available social resources, economic i i rehabilitation of families, the State j parole service, the maladjusted indi j vidual a more adequate school attend -1 ance program, and the sterilization of i mental defectives. When nations begin to think im i penally, it means they want to seize ' someone else’s property.

Mor ris, chairman of the Vance County Chapter of the American Red Cross, who is in charge of the solicitation here. Liberty Christian church gave sl2 in the new list, and another donation was that 'by Mrs. W. S. Fox for sl. While definite figures as to the total were not available today, it is known that contributions from Hen derson and Vance county so far have aggregated almost $225. Most of this has already been forwarded to Ad miral Cary T. Grayson, cnairman of the American Red Cross, in Washing ton. On account of the seriousness of the situation, and the urgency for as speedy relief as possible, it had been requested that remittances be made to the national organization Wash ington as rapidly as possible. The quota assigned to the local chapter for the campaign was $425, and solicitors are still working in an effort to obtain the goal assigned here. Admiral Grayson, in a subse quent appeal, has requested the coun try not to stop at the $3,000,000 fund . first called for, but to go as much above that figure as possible, in view of the magnitude of the catastrophe, which was greater than had at first been reported. A previous donation which should have been credited to Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Munden, amounting to $5, was er roneously reported. Barred from U. S. « By ■ .
