Sibylia O. Young Reinstated; Will Receive Back Pay Tenders resignation to Take Effect July 1; ^Ousted from Office in .December, 1937 Miss Sibylla O. Young of Wading Filver has won her long fight for public vindication and reinstate ment as child welfare officer. Im mediately after her reinstatement. Miss Young tendered her resigna tion to take effect J u l y '1st. She will receive‘back pay from Dec. 1937 to July 1, 1938, even though she had no duties to per- .'orm, so evidently-the county is the loser by the action of the welfare board in dismissing her. Miss Young was ousted from her posi tion by the board of directors last May on charges, which have never been made public, for some reason or other. She applied, through her attor ney, J. Harry Saxstein of River- head, to Supreme Court JutHlce Kawcett for reinstatement or a re view of the charges. Justice Faw cett handed down a decision grant ing her a trial of the issues. In November of last year the Board of Supervisors sustained the action of the welfare board, despite the fact that Surrogate' Richard W. H a w kins had praised Miss Young for her work as weltare officer. The welfare board then met and passed a re.solutlon dismissing the charges and reinstating her with full pay.

Suffolk Lawyers O. K. Says County Bpur Association Boar^ of Supervisors Scored For Hiring Outside Lawyer to Handle County Case Th,e Suffolk County Bar Associa tion scored the action of the Board of Supervisors for hiring a lawyer outside the county to represent It at the hearing before Justice Dunne In the Supreme Court to compel Hermon F. Bishop to turn over to his successor, Harry T. Tuthlll, the books and records of the county superintendent of highways office. The resolution was passed by the Bar Association by a vote of 32 to 20. The lawyers of Suffolk .Cotmty, believe there are enough capable attorneys in the county to act for the coimty fathers in any court matter, without having to go to New York City for legal talent. They suggested that In the future all lawyers needed to be hinid for legal purposes that tht county a t torney could not satisfactorily han dle, the hiring be done through the olflce of the county attt)rney.

On Jan. 6, you may have read In my column about Mr. Hallock and the interesting in terview tl tiad with him. When in formed that his birthday was on Independence Day, I planned to vl.sit him on the day that would make him a centenarian, and that he has lived on to attain this won derful age, mentally alert and en joying comparatively good health, is one of the marvels of our time. The living room of the home was a profusion of flowers, birthday cakes, boxes of candy, baskets of fruit and fruit-Juices, and many tfther presents. One wall of the room was decorated with tfny flags and a banner on which were the words “Spanning a Century—1838- 193^,” with diplomas, marriage cer tificate, old daguerreotypes, and many other types of pictui'es and data of events during the life of Mr. Hallock.
