As a result of the reorganization of the state welfare department which took place last August there have been many changes.
The state has been divided into seven districts with a central office in each in which all the work of the district will be conducted.
Douglas is in District No. 2 and the central office for this district is at 60 Franklin Street, Worcester.
Whereas formerly each branch of the work-General Welfare, Old Age
59
Assistance and Aid to Dependent Children-had a separate visitor, one state visitor now has charge of all departments and makes regular visits to the town welfare office.

CHARITIES IN DOUGLAS
REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
To the Citizens of the Town of Douglas:
It is a pleasure to announce to the citizens in this town a 50% reduction in Temporary Aid expenditures over the previous year. In making this re- duction all outstanding 1939 bills have been paid and we are looking for- ward to 1940 with prospects of reducing expenses to normal, which would be between $8,000 and $10,000 for a community our size.
Living in an industrial community makes us almost entirely dependent upon the operations of the local mills. The co-operation received from the local concerns in hiring employables receiving relief was one step in re- ducing the expenditures.
Another important factor that was of great help to the Town was the fact that the State Employment Service functioned more satisfactoritly in the past year. Unemployment compensation checks were issued with efficient regularity. Checks were received by claimants in time to give them financial assistance when it was needed. At the present time a representative of the State Employment Service has office hours here every Tuesday afternoon from 2 to 4 P. M. in the Selectmen's Room to receive claim applications.
A third important factor of course is maintaining our W. P. A. Projects in Town. About twenty men are employed on projects the year around and some thirty-five individuals have been employed on such projects, several of whom have since returned to private industry. This affirms our belief that most men would rather work in private industry if possible and above all they would rather work for their livelihood than to receive an outright dole. In every case where the applicant for relief was a citizen he was certi- fied for W. P. A. at once.
Of course our Surplus Commodity Center is functioning and rendering the most possible assistance to the needy. Our Policy with respect to the issuing of Surplus Commodity Cards has been one of assisting the border line cases as well as the actual relief cases and in several instances com- modities received were sufficient to keep recipients from receiving direct relief. At the present time the Federal Government is paying for a full time clerk and one laborer working 30 hours each week at the Center. The cost to the Town to maintain this center is the expense of transporting the sup- plies from the central warehouse in Worcester and the expense of keeping the quarters in the kitchen of the Town Hall.
In our report last year we referred to the new budget system that went into effect January 1, 1939. This budget system is a success and will be a permanent factor in determining amount of aid necessary to each applicant. It corresponds with the State recommended budgets in most all cases. Since its inception there have been fewer complaints and more satisfaction shown
61
among recipients. All know that their cases are being considered on the same basis as others.
The classification of expenditures, which is included in this report, shows the total amounts expended in cash payments, for groceries, and milk, for medical care, outside Board and care, Douglas cases in other cities and Towns, rent, fuel, clothing, commissary maintenance, and miscellaneous items. About half of the recipients have cash orders and no cash orders are given unless the Board feels reasonably sure that the money will be ex- pended at local stores. The food orders are distributed among all the other stores with no discrimination being shown.
The most disturbing news in the past year was the high percentage of the total expenditures, paid out for medical care. This account showed an increase and represented 16% of the 1939 Welfare expenditure. This of course is an unpredictable account and it reflects the tendency the local board has in considering the health of the recipient's family. However, in many instances the only relief given was medical care at a hospital. This total would be greater were it not for the health work being done by well known local organizations.
The total amount of aid to persons with Douglas settlements living in other communities showed a slight increase over the previous year. This is an expenditure over which we have no control and depends upon business conditions in other communities.
Under our system of rendering aid, the full board acts on each applica- tion at the weekly meetings held on Thursday evenings at 7.00 P. M. in the Welfare Office, Town Hall. The action taken is on record for each meeting and the execution of the Board's orders are left to Miss Warner and Mr. Virostek.
Our Welfare budget for 1940 calls for a reduction of $1900 over the previous years while the budget for the remaining accounts remain the same at $2,000.00 for Aid to Dependent Children, and $7,500.00 for Old Age Assistance. Since the last two accounts involve the reimbursement to the Town of Federal Grants, the budgets must be sufficient to take care of any unforeseen increases throughout the year; for insufficient Town Funds will endanger our receiving the Federal Grants.
