 Welfare Worker
 The revised proposal of the AL | aska Department of Public Well fare for a full time child welfare worker and a clerk k-stenographer to be employed by the City of Ju- neau, as presented by Mrs. Brande- bury, calls for an outlay of two l thirds O. the cost by the City and one third by the Department.
 Mrs. Brandebury asked for ap- proval of the Council as soon as possible, inasmuch as it might take as lcng as six months to locate a worker; and the earlier approval is | forthcoming, the sooner the plan can be put into operation. Total cost of salaries and travel expenses for the two, the welfare worker and the clerk -stenographer, would i be S5l3. Or this, S342 would bt borne hy the City and S171 by the Department of Public Welfare.
 The welfare worker would be un- der the direction and supervision of the District Worker, and would have responsibility for all chile welfare cases in Juneau and VI cinity. This would be in full CO., operation with City officials, civic organizations and other interested individuals in the prevention ol juvenile delinquency, and in pro- viding services for the care ano treatment of dependent, neglected and delinquent children.
 Social Worker
 The activities of the Child Vel fare Worker would not be in the nature of a policewoman but ol a social worker who would coop crate with all groups in giving case work services to children ano hfamiles referred by any indiv,dua or agency.
