Superintendent Of Ashe De-
partment Spoke AT Rotary
Club Last Week.

A resume of the tremendous
amount of work that is now be-
ing handled through the Ashe
county welfare department was
Interestingly presented by Miss
Ruth Tugman, welfare superin-
tenednt, at the Jeffersons Rotary
club meeting last week.
After giving a brief back
ground of welfare work in the
state and county, Miss Tugman
stated that her department now
had % different duties and re-
Sponsibilities, most of which re-
late to social rehabilitation.
I'm 1868 the North Carolina
constitution was revised and this
provided for a state department
of charities, which was the be-
ginning of the recognition from
the government of its needy peo-
pie" she said.
But for many years very lit
the progress was made IN wei
fare work. In 1917 the state ask
ed that some provision be made
for a superintendent of public
welfare in each county. Some
counties which were financially
able to meet the expense, started
welfare departments. In other
counties, where the funds were
limited, the welfare duties were
given to the superintendent OF
schools.
About 1882 Miss Ruth Reeves,
Mrs. Wilson now, was employed
as welfare officer in Ashe county
and served until about 1884. On
Feb. l, 1886, a certifying case
worker was employed in the
county by the State Board of
Charities and Public Welfare,
and worked under the superin-
ISnQenC Oh SCnOOlS.
"A welfare office was opened
in the Council office building in
Jefferson with the certifying
case worker as the only employee
of the department. The Office
was started on a small scale. One
room of this building served as
the Welfare office and also as the
office for the State Employment
Service.
The state decided in 1887 that
each county must have full
time superintendent of public
welfare. The first Monday in
June, 1887, the board of county
welfare met with the county
commissioners and elected a well
fare superintendent.
This marked the beginning Of
full-time Welfare department
in Ashe county. Funds were set
up to employ only superintend-
ent and stenograpier.
