 Miss Virginia B. Handley, assistant | director of the state welfare depart ment of Montgomery; who was in the city this week has told an amusing story Tn reference to the work. She was to speak in small town in the state on the subject of child welfare, and the weekly paper in mentioning it, said, Miss Handley is well-known in the social activities of the state;' a citizen of the town, upon meeting and hearing her speak, said "Am glad to see that yours is not all sordid and sad but that you have time for some so- ciety life" Social Activities" have a very different meaning in her case, as With the many other welfare workers and those interested in sdcial service or that phase of that work that has to do with the development of our com : munity life by trying to help the less fortunate members of society to a nor nal citizenship.
