OF Estate WELFARE BOARD GIVES
ADDRESS AT ROTARY LUNCHEON

Leonard w. Hiatt, of Jackson
vile, commissioner of the State
Welfare Board, addressed the
Key West Rotary Club at its
luncheon yesterday and the Key
West Lions last night about the
work the board is doing in Flor
ida generally and in Key West
particularly.
M, Hiatt said that more than
$f4,D00 monthly is distributed
among $50 Key WcSters in the
form of pensions for old people
and the blind and in helping de-
pendent children.
The board performs other work
in promoting the public welfare,
in making medical surveys and
striving to straighten out many
family problems. 1t also assists
Selective service boards in all
counties in the state.
Mr.. Hiatt, who was a caller at
The Citizen office this morning,
accompanied by Mrs. James Fort,
local representative of the board,
said that administrative officers
of the board acutely realizes they
are using taxpayers money in
performing the boards various
activities and, therefore, strives
to see that every dollar spent
goes to the needy or is spent in
a worthwhile cause.
He explained that he was
aware that the board, because oil
the magnitude of its work, gives
money to a few undeserving per-
sons, but added that investiga.

items are made at regular inter
walls and that, whenever it is
learned that anybody has suffi-
cient income from some other
source to take care of himself, or
is in household where he can
be- taken care of without any
hardship whatever, his name is
stricken from the list of bcne-
ficiaries. 4,
Mrs. Fort said she will appree
ciatc being informed Of any Key
Wcsters, who come within the
scope of the Boards work and
are in need of aid and are not re-
cciving it. She stated that she
has learned from experience in
her work that there are some pco-
pic who are SO shy in asking for
assistance they prefer to live a
life of want rather than to ask
for assistance.
MRS. Fort has been a capable
and an earnest worker for the
board. She explained that, be-
sides making it a point to learn
the names of needy persons, SO
that they may be aided, she also
makes an investigation, at least
once year, of every case to
learn if money is going to any
person who does not need it.
One of the reasons for that
investigation" she said, SIS that
person may be in want this
year but will be able to take care
OF himself u year iaier, or be
cared for by members of his fam
lily, whose income in sufficient tt
