TT Is of course necessary to exer-
else careful supervision over the
children and the families aided by the
State, and this requires a special
force of field agents. During the
present year the board hopes to do
this inspection work at some consid-
cradle saving by reducing the num-
Der Of field agents so that a larger
sum Of money may. be available for
actual relief work. 1t Is expected
that this can be done without les

1.-THE people Of Maine should ap-
| preciate the faithful services rem
dered by the members of the State
Board and their Office and field staffs
for I know what their work means
/ to those who need helping hand.
/ Difficult and oftentimes distressing
situations arise for it is not possible
| for the State to do all that is asked
of it by those in need, but in my
opinion there is no more unselfish and
worth while work being done in
Maine than this board is doing.
Mrs. Grace A. Wing retires from
the board, not caring to accept the
reappointment I gladly would have
offered her. For ten years she has
generously given her services to the
mothers and children of the State.
The Board Of Charities and Correc-
lions is one of the few boards that
receives no pecuniary compensation.
just why this was so arranged in the
first instance I do not know, but on
account of it Mrs. Wing and her as
sociates are the more entitled to the
gratitude of their fellow citizens. AS
the years go by and as the children
who Mrs. Wing has cherished and
cared for grow up and become good
w-abiding men and women. her
work and that Of her associates will
/ have proven its worth and will be
appreciated by the people Of Maine.

pictures that CLOSED his blemishes and
made him something other than he was
