Rehabilitation Office Opens Fayette Branch
Fayetteville gains a new branch of the Beckley District Vocational Rehabilitation Division as staff and facilities expand at Bluefield Lewisburg Mullens and Welch offices. Acting director Earl W. Wolfe says the move brings services closer to handicapped citizens and adds five new district offices since July 1. The Fayetteville branch raises the state total to 23 offices with five district, 17 branch, and one extension office. Bruce Jeffries notes one counselor per 22,000 population in District IV, down from 32,000 last year due to staff shifts.
