Follow Up

"WarninRs Issued several months go that rigid adherence to civil service law would result In numerous resignations from the social service division of the Welfare Dept. were realized yes- terday and today with five divi- sion employees resigned and more threatening.
 Those who have resigned are:
 Miss Jean Dikeman, collegea trained case worker with two years, six months local experl- ence.
 Archie Conliffe, Columbia uni. verSity trained case worker, two years, six months experience.
 Clyde Seney, Dartmouth col- lege trained case worker, two years and eight months oXperi. cnce here,
 Albert Farrell, trained in So- cial service work and specialized in the handling ot child welfare.
 Miss Mary c. Harvey, one year experience as c case worker.
 Among those whose rosigna- tons are threatening Is Earle Minton, statistician and in charge of WPA and eco camp certification.
 The series of resignationS of veteran employees Is looked upon by Welfare officials as q blow to e social service system which they prided themselves on being both munioipally economical and helpful to families who needed It's services.
 The immediate cause of Scv- eral of the reSlgnations waS ah opinion handed down by City Atty. Harry Schwartz recently that Q group of social service employees who had been in the employ of tho FlslRA and ulrlS- ferred to c Special- l-projoeW prys roll were not entitled to 5iVii Service privileges, reSisnatl ,ii letters said. 5
 Previous to that, however, dis- satisfaction had been generated by the Civil Service comnlis- sion'S refusal to allow q series Of appeals from allooations which Social Service employees had filed, it was also declared.
 It was concerning this that warnings were issued to Mayor McLeVy and tho Civil Service commission several months ago by special committee of public and private welfare officials.
 The committee, upon which supt. of Welfare John J. Gala and members of the Community Chest served, warned that reSig. nations would Dc inevitable if civil service did not relax It's rigid interpretation of It's rules.
 Sentiments of sorrow were eX- pressed today by supt. 0alla, and Social Service Supervisor Glare O'Rourke over the diSrup- ton of the social service divi. sion.
 The division has been under tho supervision of Miss O'Rourke for i0 months and Is looked up. on by those few who arc in . position to observe tho facts as one of the most efficient diyi- sions in the city.
 The division has earned a rop- utation in Federal circles for itS reliability in certification of WPA workers.

new PLAN FOR
I SCOUTING MADE
EXECUTIVE MAY BE PLACED IN
DISTRICT TO AID IN
WORK

In Plentywood Friday were r. A.
Nestos of Minot, former governor of
North Dakota and H. Fl. Prescott,
st. Paul, deputy regiona Executive
of the national council of Boy Scouts
of America, here to confer with local
scouting officials on matters which
would greatly increase interest in
the movement in this section. The
two men came to Plentywood from
Culbertson. They were brought here
by Chris Peterson of Culbertson.
According to plans this territory
in which Scout troops are located
will be transferred to the st. Paul
region, for administrative purposes.
Under the plan a Scout executive
would be available at Plentywood at
regular intervals to further advance
the movement here and in other
northeastern Montana towns.
Part of the expense of maintain
ing an executive for this section
would be met by all of the towns
and cities in this territory who have
Scout troops and who favor the plan.
A wealthy st. Paul business man has
declared his willingness to match
funds with what is collected for that
purpose and in view of the generos-
ity the expense to northeastern Mon
tana would be but half the cost of
MAINTAINING tha leader
The plan as submitted by the Wis
itors was met with approval of Scout
leaders here and the plan is to be
submitted to the local Lions club,
who are sponsors of the P~lentywood
troop.
Former Governor Nestos said that
if P%lentywood joins in the move
ment 1t would mean an outlay of
about 500 a year.

have been submitted by the present

swimming pool, very much in de-
mand on hot summer days, bath
houses, dance pavilion, a miniature
golf links, concession stands, park
benches and ample shade from nat
ural and planted trees.

Plentywood citizens, a r%ecreational
center second to none will be the
boast of PlentywoOd.

Marriage License Business
Practically Nil Past Month
marriage depression is on.

Records at the court house re-
veal that but one marriage license
has been issued in Sheridan county
since the first of the year and which
undoubtedly sets an all-time record
for Dan Cupid's laxity.
The one marriage license was is
sued in January and 1t was to a
Canadian couple. A license was al
most issued in February to a Dan
iels county couple, but their plans
called for marriage in that county,
thus making it illegal to issue a Ii
cense from here so Daniels county
presumably got the license fee.
