TO DISCUSS BUILDING A WELFARE HOUSE MATTER TO BE DISCUSSED AT COUNTY- WIDE MEETING. Keyport Churches, Civic and Other Organizations Are to be Represented at Gathering Next Monday. Keyport churches and civic and other organizations will be represented next Mondav: at a county- mecting to be held at 2:30 p.m. at the hon.e of Mrs. Lewis S.

Thompson, Brookdale Farm, Lincroft, called for the purpose of giving the citizens of Monmouth County some of the facts on the present situation concerning the care of old folks and chronic invalids in Monmouth County and to consider the possibility of erecting a welfare house where both the indigent and can be properly cared for. Mrs. A. M. Brown will represent the Keyport Improvement Association and Mrs.

Peter A. Sondergaard the Keyport Nursing Association. Delegates from tie other organizations have not been announced but it is expected that St. Mary's Episcopal, Calvary M. First Baptist, Presbyterian and Reformed churches, Keyport Kiwanis Club, Keyport Parent-Teacher Association and Keyport Literary Club will all be represented.

The Honorable A. Harry Moore, Governor of New Jersey, will be the guest of honor and speaker of the eccasion. There will also be short speeches by others interested in this vital social need including business and professional men of the county. Requests have been sent out to 310 organizations all over the county including churches, benevolent and fraternal organizations, civic clubs, en's clubs, American Legion posts, public welfare bodies and the county medical and bar dissociations, request them to send a delegate to represent hem at the meeung. This does not mean, however, that the meeting is limited to delegates only.

Every citizen in Monmouth County who has at heart the interest and proper care of old folks urgently requested to attend. It will be the duty of delegates of various organizations to act as mittee of welcome and to take back to their organization the plans brought out at the meeting. For many years there has been growing need in Monmouth County for Home for Old People who cannot be sup ported entirely by their own savings or by the contributions of their relatives. There is at present on the statue books of New Jersey a law, fathered by Monmouth County's own Senator Stevens, which is regarded by experts in this field to be one of the best laws established in any State in the Union on this particular matter. Seventeen out of twenty-one counties in New Jersey have availed themselves cf the opportunity afforded by this law for the erection of institutes for the care of their aged.

Monmouth County is one of four which have no such institution. A preliminary survey has the fact that Monmouth County has a large number of cases which should Le given custodial care and fifteen out of seventeen overseers of the poor in the county are desirous of having a model institution where old folks and chronic invalids can be properly taken care of. There is no community in Monmouth County but which will have a vital interest in the problems- to be considered and it is, therefore, hoped that a very large and representative group of citizens will be present at the meeting. The meeting is to be given under the auspices of the Public Relations Committee of the Monmouth County Organization for Social Service of which committee Mrs. Leon C.

Cubberly chairman and J. Lester Eisner of Red Bank is secretary. For the information of members of the Monmouth County Organization who have been regular attendants of the annual meeting of that organization, it may be stated that this meeting will act for this year as a substitute for the annual treeting of the organization.
