COMMISSIONER WODTKE AGREED THIS PROGRAM IS WORTHWHILE AND BELIEVED OUR AREA WILL BE VERY SUPPORTIVE OF SUCH A PROGRAM, BUT EXPRESSED THE HOPE THAT IT WON T GROW OUT OF PROPORTION ADMINISTRATIVELY AND THAT THE ABSOLUTE BULK OF THE DOLLARS CAN BE USED IN GETTING THE ASSISTANCE TO THE PERSON WHO NEEDS IT. MRS. ANN PANACCION, REPRESENTING THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY WOMEN AND HERSELF, AS AN INTERESTED CITIZEN AND A SOCIAL WORKER, CAME BEFORE THE BOARD. SHE EMPHASIZED THAT WE DO NEED PROFESSIONAL HELP BECAUSE VOLUNTEERS ARE NOT ALWAYS ABLE TO WORK ON THEIR OWN. SHE STATED THAT HER GROUP SUPPORTS THE PROGRAM AND BELIEVES IT IS A MUCH NEEDED ONE TO COPE WITH THIS SERIOUS AND GROWING PROBLEM. STATE ATTORNEY STONE EXPLAINED THAT THE COORDINATOR WILL BE A PROFESSIONAL WHO IS QUALIFIED IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA, AND WE WILL HAVE ACCESS TO OTHER PROFESSIONALS. HE COULD NOT SAY THAT DOWN THE LINE WE WILL NOT HAVE TO HIRE ANOTHER PROFESSIONAL, BUT NOTED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO SHOW THE NEED. MR. STONE POINTED OUT THAT SOME OF THE VOLUNTEERS WILL BE PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE THEMSELVES AND ASSURED THE BOARD THAT HE DID NOT WANT TO MAKE THIS A BIG GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
