NOT VERY HEAVY
Mrs. Austin, Welfare Head
Contributes Lack to
Christmas Givings.
In spite of the bitter cold and snow
that has prevailed in this section for j
the past ten days, relief demands have I
not been so much heavier than usual I
upon the Vance County Welfare Do- i
partment. it was stated today by Mrs
E. It. Austin, welfare agent.
Mrs. Austin explained this situa
tion. stating that at Christinas time
Ibo co-operation of the people of the j
city in providing fur the loss fortu
nato had been such that food and
stores had been ijfuvided for the
needy and that they did not make a
demand upon the county for substin
oncc. Mrs. Austin was very proud
that the community came forward
in such a wholehearted manner in
providing for the needy, and felt that !
Ihe suffering would have been in- i
ionse among them if they had not !
hoen so generously cared for at the !
Christmas season by warm hearted
citizens of hotter cVcumstances.
