William Y. Little Gives
Address Rotary Session

doubt that this would be done
very often. Another benefit of
these meetings is the privilege of
singing together. Music is one of
the good influences in our lives;
refining influence that stimu-
lates the Imagination and arouses
our better instincts.
1T is not possible for num-
Der CT men to get together and
sing Rotary songs without being
benefited thereby. You can't
think mean and unworthy thoughts
while singing. There may be
some of us who can't sing, but
l doubt it. At least we can
make a noise, and that is good
for us, too. 1t exercises the
diaphragm and stimulates the cir
culation. 1t is a privilege to at
tend these meetings because it
gives us an opporeuniey to en-
large our acquaintance with rep
resentative members of our bust
ness community. We meet men
here with whom we would not
come in contact during the ordin-
airy routine of our business day
and derive a benefit from such
contacts by being taken out OF
the narrow confines of our per-
sonal affairs.
During these meetings we
have an opportunity Of self-de-
velopment through hearing and
taking part in discussions of cur
rent topics and problems of the
day.
"And not the least of the priv
ileges of Rotary membership is
the opportunity it gives us OF
making new friendships. Most OF
the friends we have are those
made during the early formative
years of our life. Ordinarily q
man makes few real friendships
after he has reached maturity
This may be because, when we
were young we were more un.
selfish. Friendship consists es-
sentially of Giving as well a:
Taking, and the basic principle
upon which Rotary is founded
Service, is conducive to the de
velopment of friendship.
"At tn conclusion of our week.
ly meetings it is distinctly priv
ilege to clasp hands and sing oul
parting song. To leave and 81
back to our personal affairs again
benefited and stimulated by tbs
association of the past hour.
'iFor the rest of the Afternoon
the music of our parting song
runs though our mind, and nj
doubt, many of us find ourselve:
humming and whistling it, un
consciously. {. :"

with the news, saucy sayings,

OLD AGE ASSISTANCE SHOWN
TO BE ONLY PART OF
MANY ACTIVITIES BEING
CARRIED ON

JACKSONVILLE Oct. 29.--
(FNsl Although old age assist
ance has caught the public inagi-
nation and is a major activity, it
is only part and parcel of the
State Welfare Program, Clayton
G. Codrington, state welfare COM
missioner, pointed out in an in
teryiew here today.
eThe State Welfare Board
functions in more than 5 separate
administrative capacities and is a
Iliaison agency without which
Florida's needy could not obtain
millions of dollars of federal
funds.
Bringing big money into the
state are the CCC. with annual
payments Of 100000 to Florida
recruits and their dependents; the
surplus commodities division,
which last year distributed COM
modities valued at s924,OOO and
clothing valued at $4s7 900. and
which this year viii distribute
commodities and clothing valued
at $1,000, 900; the Children's well
fare program, which brings in
i $23, 900 annually that the State is
not required to match; old age as
sistance and assistance to the
blind, with federal funds to match
the states appropriation of s3,-
400, 900; possible aid for de-
pendent children, for which the
legislature appropriated 100000
and which the government will
match on the basis of one dollar
for two.
Florida could obtain none of
this federal relief without COM
plying with federal regulations
through the enactment of social
security legislation and the crea-
ton of the State Welfare Board
or similar agency, Those who
would criticize administrative costs
should first inform themselves as
TO the scope of the program, "
Codrington stated. - s,,s
Major activities of the State
Welfare Board as listed by him
are: Old Age Assistance, aid to
dependent children, aid to the
blind, commodity distribution,

These packages we're IN answer

Another letter is from a woman
who is DESTROYS of securing def

Another woman writes of her
qualifications and states she is
