Welfare Officer Is Employed
In County
(Continued from page 1)
will devote iiiost of his time to mak
ing records for the report that must
reach Raleigh by November loth in
order that Haywood county will re
ceive a $5,0ui) donation for welfare
work from January to April. Cases
will be investigated, and as near as
possible, a correct summary of the
ex'sting situation will be recorded,"
Mr. Henry said.
The fact was stressed that the cit
izens of the county are urged not to
give beggars anything without first
consulting the welfare headquarters.
"If the citizens of the county have
anything to donate, give it to the of
ficer. r if they prefer to give it to
the needy themselves, please, under all
circumstances, notify the office so that
that family may be charged with that
donation and not receive more than
they deserve,'' Mr. Henry said.
Such donations as cash, clothing
and food will be handled by the officer,
who for the time being will have his
office in the same office of Mr. Henry's,
and will use his phone, number 119.
"One thing is important," sajd JMr.
Henry, "the public must not give out
donations promiscuously. Consult the
welfare officer first."
Mr. Ferguson, son R. M. Ferguson,
is well known in Waynesville, having
graduated from high school here, be
ing president of the student body and
a star football player. He graduated
from the University of North Caro
lina several years ago. He know3 the
county, and many people of the county
it is said, and that will enable him to
carry on the work in a most efficient
manner.
Mr. Henry stated that the commis
sioners "did not act" on tho matter,
and since he was approached by the
citizens of the county, he said he
abided by th law which reads as
follows:
" whei the county commission
ers do not desire to so participate, the
county superintendent of public in
struction shall become ex officio coun
ty superintendent of public welfare
Whenever by such action a county su
perintendent i f public instruction be
comes ex officio county superintendent
of public welfare, he shall receive no
salary in addition to that received
as County superintendent of schools,
but the board of edueatie-ii. by and
with the approval of the board of
commissioners shall furnish him such
clerical or other assistance as it deems
necessary C. S. 5017 powers and
duties to have, under control of com
missioners, the eara ami sunervision
fof the poor, and to administer the
poor funds.
The appoin'.ment of a welfare work
er for this county brings to a close &
matter that has been of utmost con
cern to the majority of people in the
county for the oast C weeks. A mass
meeting called by Rev. H. W. Baucom,
president of tho ministerial associa
tion, Homer Henry, superintendent of
schools of the county, and W. C. Allen,
chairman of .he Red Cross of this
county, of the leading business and
civic leaders in the county 4 weeks
ago, passed a resolution asking the
cciimissionei to employ sveh a
werker. The commissioners did not
act on the matter during the absence
of W. H. Henderson, who was confined
at his home for some weeks with
pneumonia. According to Mr. Henry,
they "did not act Monday."
Practically every civic organization
in the county has taken the welfare
matter under considerati n and every
one hai passed favorably on it.
