A banquet and dance featured the meeting. IHstinguished guests at the meeting included State commander, Not man Simms; State Adjutant Otto A. Weisley; E. A. Littlefield, Mgr. of the Veterans Bureau; Mrs. Amy Rebholts, Dept. Tres. of the State Auxiliary; Mrs. Warner, executive secretary of the State Auxiliary all of Salt Lake City. Officers and members of the various posts in the district were present md listened to discussions on Veterans affairs. Those attending from the Duchesne Post were: Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Crocker, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur J. Orr and Guy J. Hollenbeck of Diuhesne and Mr. and Mrs. James Dalglcish of Myton. Uintah Basin was seen in the plan disclosed by C. O. Stott, state director of rehabilitation and Irvin Hull, sate director of research and statistics, by ERA managers, rehabilitation supervisors and social case workers of Duchesne and Uintah counties who heard these plans at a meeting in Duchesne Thursday afternoon. Methods of transferring farmers from the present relief rolls to the rehabilitation rolls, the budgeting of the rehabilitation cases, plana for repayment of loans and other details of administration took up a good deal of the time. The meeting was held In the Legion Chateau, at 1 p. m., after some difficulty had been experienced in getting all the officials of the two counties together, thru accidental cossing of notices. A full represenation of the two coun ty relief organizaions was present however, to hoar the plans. Heber C. Taylor, district supervisor of case workers was in attendance, both to hear the outline and to enter into the discussion. Centers About Supervisor The county rehabilitation supervisors, one in each county, were pictured by Mr. Stott as being the coordinators between the three contributing to farm, relief, the F E R A, the extension service of the agricultural department and the Agricultural Adjustment Administration. Financial assistance for the purchase of capital goods, for subsistence goods, for livestock feed and for the payment of some debts, such as taxes and interest can be supplied by the rehabilitation funds, thru loans from the Rural Rehabilitation Corporation, set up as a finance agency to handle the program. As most of those in need of the rehabilitation services are expected to come from the ERA relief rolls, the county relief manager is held responsible for much of the information which will decide the elegibility of cases. It Is the duty of the county manager to appoint & rehabilitation committee, from whch will come the first recommendations on cases submitted by the social case workers, who are the real entry to the program. The individual or family remains on the relief rolls until the application goes through the route from the case woiker, through the committee, the supervisor and the county manager to the state director, where final approval definitely changes the status to that of a rehabilitation case. Loans Replace Dole From that time all assistance in the form of outright grant ceases, but instead funds are advanced in the form of loans for the purchase of capital goods, the feeding of livestock, or for personal subsistence, and will be repaid by cash from produce, or cash from private enterprise, work projects, or credit certificates from- - rural rehabilitation self liquidating projects. The latter type of projects, none of which are yet operating can be set up by the corporation to furnish em- ployment to rehabilitation cases only, and can Include such projects (Continued on Pag 8) BIRTHS The following births have been reported this week: A daughter born to Mr. and Mrs. Daryl Smith, Feb. 5th.
