 qualifications are outlined in Section I, 1. 57 of
 this Plan.

 1.51-2 Other Specialists. As the need arises and it is
 desirable to employ additional personnel for
 specialized business, distributive and cooperative
 education areas, such persons will assist the
 state supervisor in the supervision and coordination
 of the state-wide program in the specialized voca-

1.6 Duties and Qualifications of Local Supervisors. Local supervision
 in counties of more than 50, 000 population is primarily the respon-

 in Section I, 6. 2 of this Plan. However, in those counties where
 the local director of vocational education is not qualified in
 business, distributive or cooperative education or where the size
 of the program justifies a supporting supervisory staff to assist
 the director, additional personnel may be desirable.
