Funds available for Work 



The State funds were withdrawn on the passage of the bill 

 by the National Congress providing appropriation for this type 

 of work. Under the plan of distribution of the money thus 

 made available, INIassachusetts junior extension work received 

 $7,000. A portion of this fund was used to provide an as- 

 sistant to the State supervisor, and the remainder, divided 

 equally, was offered to the counties which had done the most 

 in club work as part salary of a county club worker. 



Six counties availed themselves at once of this offer; one 

 has recently done so; and one will do so beginning February 1.
