This announcement was made by Miss Hester Graham, director of the District No. 10 Board of Social Welfare meeting held at the district office in West Pai Beach, and at the same time it | was announced that the commis- sioners of Monroe were trying to make arrangements to enter the old age assistance plan. Records show that 51 counties have come into the plan and sev- eral others have expressed their willingness to participate. All counties in the state must take favorable action by the end of | this month or there will be no old age pensions on October 1. The money which is being appropriat- ed, when matched with federal funds, will take care of the aged until the end of June, 1937, and by that time it is hoped that the state legislaure will appropriate funds for the old age assistance under the Social Security Act. Dr. Carl N. Herman, chairman, Board of Social Welfare had taken action approving a merit system as a means of establishing eligibility for state board employes. Qualifi- cations for the district staff will be based on an evaluation of past experience, a personal interview and the passing of a written ex- amination. A state committee will supervise the merit plan and in each welfare district a district personnel committee will be es- tablished to assist the state com- mittee. Those who attended the meet- ing were: Dr. Carl H. Herman, chairman; Mrs. Sybil Hearne, vice chzirman; Czrroll Dunscombe, Mrs, William R. Warren, J. 0. Bowen and Miss Hester Graham, director and secretary. ‘COAST GUARD SHIP ARRIVES CUTTER YEATON PLACE OF KIMBALL STA- TIONED AT THIS PORT Coast Guard Cutter Yeaton, from Gulfport, Mississippi, arriv- ed in port this morning assigned to duty in this area for about one month, .
