Estelle Kirk New Travelers Aid Director
Spartanburg USO Worker Succeeds Mable Thomas At Center Here

Miss Estelle Kirk, formerly director of the USD-Travelers' Aid at Spartanburg, S. C., has assumed the directorship of the local USD-Travelers Aid here. R. Clarence Williams, chairman of the operating committee of the Travelers' Aid Board, announced yesterday.

Miss Kirk succeeds Miss Mable Thomas, director here for the past two and one-half years, who left this week to accept employment with the International Business Machine Company. A fellow worker with Miss Thomas in Montgomery several years ago, Miss Kirk has been with Travelers' Aid since early in 1942. As a graduate of Birmingham-Southern she began her welfare work in Birmingham where she served three years with the Jefferson County Child Welfare Department and three years with social welfare work. Miss Kirk was a case worker In Montgomery when Miss Thomas entered the organization as a volunteer.

The new director, whose home is in Birmingham, is a graduate of Tulane School of Social Work, a member of the Methodist Church, and a member of Alpha Omega Pi sorority. She is also a member of the American Association of Social Workers.

Serving as director of the Aid office in Spartanburg since October, 1945, Miss Kirk says she already likes Anniston, and "especially the fine organization of my new office." Miss Kirk will be assisted here by Miss Ann Rhoades and Miss Ann Hewett, case workers, and Grace Hawkins, Negro case worker. Although the peak of the Aid work here has been passed, Miss Kirk expects a real need for continued service to exist for some time to come, and the office here will be maintained as long as there is need, she said. The workers provide aid, financial or just room-hunting, aside from travel services, in helping to meet the transients' problems, Miss Kirk said.
