COMBINED WORK WITH CLUB LEAD
Err AND ADDS TO APPROPRIATION
SMITH CHOSEN ROAD C0MR.
Board Stands Pat Upon Its Deter
mination Not to Pay Bounty on
Wolves Until Honesty is Shown

object OF much oratory last Satur-
day when the members met In regu-
lar session to continue the work left
over from last month and dispose OF
any new work that came up.
The usual grist OF bills was on the
spindle for payment, the only ones
causing any question were two bills
for contagious disease services. The
question raised on these cases was
not one OF paying the bill but of the
obligation OF the persons receiving
the service TO pay and their ability to
pay.
Fortunately DIR. Larson dropped in
during the discussion and he explain
ed TO the members the condition OF
the two persons in question and add
ed TO his explanation the advice that
he has given the supervisors on prev
ious occasions which is that the only
way to get out OF paying questionable
contagious disease bills Is for the
county TO provide place on each side
OF the county where contagious dis
ease patients may be brought and in
struct all health officers that cases
which the county Is TO pay for must
be brought to such hospital or ward
Report Of Special Committee
But the real interest interest at
tended the action OF the board upon
the report Of the special committee
appointed to consider the question of
a county Club Leader. The report of
the committee is as follows;
To the Honorable Members OF the
board OF Supervisors OF Iron county:
"Your committee to which was sub
mitted the question of investigating |
and reporting TO you q plan for the |
hiring and supervising OF Home !
Demonstration and Club leader and to |
decide upon the character OF the work |
10 be carried on by such an agent, |
begs leave TO submit to you the fol-
lowing report:
your committee has considered |
this question OF supervision in every |
light and believes that the hiring OF |
such an agent without providing prop
er supervision for her work Is not a
good policy. We have taken up the !
question with the State Agricultural
College and find that no funds OF any
kind are available from that institu-
tion for the support or aid OF such I
an agent In this county. We further
find that the franking privilege which
was given such agent by the federal
government has been withdrawn.
rThis means, In short, that every
item OF expense In connection with
such an agent must be borne by the
county.
"In considering the question OF
Home Economics Va. Club work we
ran into knowledge of kindred work
being done In the county that took
your committee considerable way
from the original purpose II had In
mind In making It's Investigations.
I'VE found that other agencies In
the county were at work on practi-
cally the same line as your club
leader so that a duplication existed
TO some extent In the club work and
to a great extent along the Home Ec-
onomics line
The agency We refer to is known
as the international Institute" This
agency maintains five women. four
workers and an executive. in this
county. They have been working for
a year and. 80 far as this committee
can see, they have been getting ex-
cellent results.
"The International Institute is
wholly non-sectarian organization
which was devised for experimental
purposes In Amerlcanization work.
Iron county is the only county unit
In the United States In which this
work is being carried on. Institutes
of the kind are maintained In some OF
the citiea out nowhere else Is the
county a unit. The reason why Iron
county was chosen r. that It's proper
ton az foreign population 20 the ma
tive born 10 80 great
I'VE found. upon inquiry, that one !
Df the principal reason for the failure
Df the Home Economics work In this
county was that the person In charge
was unable 20 speak any but the
English language and with 40 large
'oreign population she was handicap
ped beyond measure We are also OF
he opinion that Club worker ex-
cept as her work Is confined TO child
rem I'm the schools, must labor under
he same handicap and even when
working with the pupils her value ~
