Davis Wins Over Owens For Mayor By 47 Votes Tuesday ATTEND SOCIAL SERVICE MEET IN GREENSBORO —♦— Welfare Work Discussed By National and State Authorities -® By W. C. BREWER W. C. Brewer and Mrs. Brewer at tended the twenty-first annual con vention of the North Carolina Con ference for Social Service held in Greensboro April 23 24, and 25. Wel fare work and relief problems were discussed from every angle, by nation al and state authorities on the depres sion and how to make the best of it. Addresses were made by Dr. Howard E. Jenson, of Duke University \on moral gains and losses of the depres sion, social and constructive phases of relief by Roy M. Brown, state teachnical supervisor of the Gover nor's Office of Relief. Talks were made by Miss Bertha McCall, gen eral director of the National Travelers Aid. Mrs. Jane McKimmon, State Home Demonstration Agent; Walter B. Wilbur, Family Welfare Associa tion of America, and many other men and women prominent in state and national affairs. It was made plain to all superin tendents of welfare that the funds are for relief and not charity and that Federal aid w'ould be only a supple ment to what the people do to main tain themselves. A little spot in the yards is not sufficient but every one is required to have a large garden in order to preserve and can for the com ing winter. Those not having gar dens will not be allowed to draw from the office of relief. Hundreds in Washington Gounty have received seed and have fine gar dens, wdiile many others show a will ingness to let some one else do all the planting, hoping to receive their living from the county welfare, but it is the intention of the State Board to help only those who try to help them selves, thereby getting rid of loafing and voluntary vagrancy. There is no excuse for any one not having a gar den, because if those persons receiv ing relief do not have spac efor plant ing vegetables, the superintendent of welfare will assist them in procuring a vacant lot. Those who have space that they will donate for the season please get in touch with your welfare workers at once.
