LABOUR REVIEW PRODUCTION 24.

Compared with 1967, there were increases in the annual production of timber, bauxite, gold and rice while sugar., rum, diamond and manganese showed decreases.

Table I gives a com- parative picture of the volume of production of the main expor- table commodities during 1967 and 1968.
TABLE I PRODUCTION IN CERTAIN INDUSTRIES 1967 & 1968 Comnodity Unit 1967 1968 Sugar • Rum Timber (Government Forest) Long tons 343,922 Proof gallons 3,405,639 7,339,644 Cubic feet (Hoppus equi- valent true volume) 316,848 3,292,416 7,376,111 Bauxite Gold Diamonds Manganese Rice Long tons 3,327,758 3,664,541 Bullion ozs.

In 1968 Sugar production dropped ty 27,074 tons compared with .the previous year, even though it was 27,979 tons more than the 1966 production.

This decrease was attributed mainly to labour unrest: in the industry particularly over the delay in the publication of the report of the Persaud Commiaaion which was appointed to enquire into the economical and other aspects of the sugar industry in the country and to make recommendations, 26.
The amount of rum produced during 1968 also fell by 113,223 proof gallons compared with 1967.

27.

There was in 1968 an increase of 36,467 cubic feet in the amount of timber produced compared with the previous year.

28.

In the mining industries, bauxite production increased signi- ficantly by 336,783 tons i.e.

10% compared with the previous year.

The production of gold increased substantially by 1,709 bullion ounces, which was nearly three-quarters as much as the production - 12 - level in 1967.
On the other'hand the amount of diamonds and manganese mined reduced oonoiderably amounting to 31,040 metric carats or 31.9% and 60,744 tons'or 34.60 respectively.

The decrease in manganese was caused by the cessation of operations of the Manganese Mines Management Ltd. in the Matthew4S Ridge - Port Kaituma area at the end of the year owing to the slack- ening off of the demand for that grade of manganese extracted.
29. , Rice Production showed some recovery during the year- from its previous declining trend and showed an increase of 9,775 tons over and above the 1967 figure.

COST OP LIVING 30.

The consumer- price indices were prepared by the Statis- tical Bureau as recommended by the International Labour Office Consultant who in, 1956, conducted a Survey on Family Expenditure.
In keeping with the Consultant's recommendations, monthly urban and quarterly rural indices were compiled for working class families and the two were combined into a quarterly index by using urban/rural population weights.

This "Consumer Price Index" used' as its base, the average of prices during the year 1956.

Appendix I, Table VII (a) shows the Urban as well as the 31.

Rural Consumer Price Indices, and alSo the Consumer-Price Indices for the years 1967 and 1968.
The Urban Consumer Price Index which is commonly used in wages negotiations stood at 126.1 in January and reached its highest peak of 126.8 in August.

During the year this index fluotuated with a low 124.8 in April.

In December, it stood again at 126.1.

32. increased to a peak of 122'0 in December.

The Rural Consumer Price Index stood at 121.7 in March and 33.

March and rose to 123.4 in December.

The Consumer-Price Index for the country stood at 122.9 in 34.

In order to ensure that these indices reflected true price 36.

For the' Survey Government received the services of Mr. S.C.

Same., Advisor of the Indian Technical Programme to assist the Chief Statistician.
Towards the end of the year, recruited investigators were being trained to commence field work early in 1969.

This Consumer Expenditure Survey was expected to last a year in order to capture the seasonal patterns of spending and earnings within households.

37.

Following the submission of the report of the 1966 Price Probe Committee and subsequent investigations'and deliberations with interested individuals and organisations, a Price Control Board was set up within a framEwork .
of the Ministry of Trade and Industry in May, 1967.

Since the appointment of this Board several orders were made controlling the prices of food commodities.

EXPENDITURE' Funds for the administration of Public Assistance, Old Age 178.
Pensions, "The Palms", and grants to voluntary organisations are provided by the House of Assembly.

The total expenditure incurred during 1967 was $31354,550 compared with a total of $3,838,430 for 1968.Vide'Table 1 (a) and (b) of Appendix II.

PUBLIC ASSISTANCE 179.

 (a) The payment of monthly cash grants is the principal form of Public Assistance given both in Georgetown and other areas.
The new maximum rates represent an increase from $10 to $12 for Georgetown and $8 to $10 for other districts from January, 1968, and are:- Georgetown Other Districts Minimum $7.50 $6.50 Maximum $12.00 $10.00 - 50 - Public Assistance is normally granted to persons aged and infirm or destitute from specific causes of ill- ness including the loss of limb and the lack of finan- cial resources because of the death of the bread-winner in the family and/or the insufficiency of the earning of the other members of the family.
The "means test" applied to applicants is a national $16.00 per month.

A woman who is head of the household and whose income is less than $16.00.a month may be granted assistance in respect of each dependent child excluding the first; but each assisted child must be under sixteen years of age and if of school age attend- ing school.

Public Assistance is not granted to per- sons resident in state-owned institutions or absent from the country.
The higher rates are granted to the blind, the mentally ill and to persons who are under- going treatment for respiratory tuberculosis or to those who have suffered a permanent loss of limb.

(b) As indicated in the following table three hundred and eighty-two (382) families or six hundred and seventy- five (675) more individuals received increased finan- cial assistance to the sum of $31,680 during the past year over 1967.
There was close and careful supervision on all cases in receipt of Out-Door relief and the increase in the number of families receiving assistance during the year was due to more demand by the public on the service particularly in the interior areas.

Another contributory factor was the creation of more interior administrative districts.

The Boards though generous in their advice and assistance were not unmindful in the use of human and natural resources.
However, an increase in expenditure is anticipated.

OLD AGE PENSIONS (a) '(finder the non-contributory Old Age Pensions Scheme which came into operation in 1945, persons resident in Georgetown are granted a pension of $12.00 a month and those in other areas $10.00 a month with effect from 1st January, 1966.

These increased rates involved an increase in expenditure of $430,000.

In order to qualify for an Old Age Pension a claimant must be 65 years of age or over.
He must have been a British subject for at least ten years and resident in Guyana for twenty years immediately preceding the claim.

He is not disqualified on this ground if he was temporarily absent from the country for an aggregate period not exceeding two years, within the last twenty years.

His income as calculated under the Old Age Pensions Ordinance, Chapter 63 must not exceed $16.00 monthly.
Pensions are not paid to persons in state-owned Institutions which provide free board and lodging or to persons absent from the country.

On the 1st JanUary,.1968 there were 7,000 children receiving .
Public Assistance; at the end of the year there were 7,,;79 thiYren receiving Public Assistance.

This reflectscailncreac,aof 379 children for the year.

182.

Discontinuance of Public Assistance to some persons was due to improved or changed circumstances, removal from the district, death or children attaining the age of sixteen years.

183.

Visits were paid to homes of families who received Public Assistance for their children and to the guardians of the Beneficiaries of the Mitchell Trust Fund.
Referrals on potential delinquent children were made to the Probation and Welfare Service.

"TFE PALMS" )00) 184.

"The Palms" may be described as a Welfare Institution catering for the chronically ill and infirm, destitute and homeless individuals, being for the .mo6t: part aged people who cannot support themselves in the community and are in need of geriatric care and attention primarily.

185.
185.

It is necessary that an atmosphere of homeliness be created and maintained for them and the objective of the Beard of Poor Law Commissioners was to make appropriate recommendations to the Government to provide every amenity practicable for the comfort of those who must idevitably be committed to Institutional care.

411%," ACCOMMODATION AND STRENGTH 186.


Three hundred and twenty-six (326) beds were available for the chronic sick in six hospital wards and one hundred and ninety-four (194) ambulant persons may be accommodated in four other wards making a total of five hundred and twenty (520) to whom indoor relief may be extended.

187.

At the beginning of 1968 there were 482 residents.

Two hun- dred and eighteen (218) were admitted during the year making a total of seven hundred (700).

188.
188.

Ninety-Seven (97) residents were discharged and one hundred and seven (107) died leaving four hundred and ninety-six (496) residents in the Institution at 31st December, 1968.

The daily average number of residents was four hundred and ninety-six (496) compared with four hundred and eighty-two (482) in 1967.

- 53 - During 1968 three hundred and fourteen (314) or 63% 189. were in the Hospital Wards.

The cost of maintaining each resident was $2.29 a day in 1968 as compared to $2.36 a day during 1967.
The decrease in maintenance cost was due to the cheaper cost of local produce although catering for a higher resident population.

RESIDENTS The compound and wards were kept clean with the assistance 190. of some of the residents.

Compared with previous years, however, the use of residents' labour was reduced further because of age and health factors.

Blind residents continued to attend the Blind School for 191. educational and occupational therapy.
Ambulant residents were taken on recreational tours while the Police Band, voluntary organisations and friends of "The Palms" entertained the residents within the Institution.

Several religious denominations were welcomed to provide religious services for the residents.

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM 192.

During 1968 the national seven year development programme included funds for the rehabilitation and purchase of new equipment for "The Palms".
The programme continued during the year with the replacement of old beds and the purchase of new equipment.

,STAFFING The Nursing Staff at the "Palms" at the beginning of the 193. year comprised 10 Ward Sisters, twenty-four (24) Staff Nurses and sixty-seven (67) Nurse-Aides.

They were under the direct control and supervision of an acting Matron and an acting Deputy Matron.
Other staff included the Warden who was responsible for the main- tenance of good order and discipline in the Institution; two Departmental Clerks; two Office Assistants, and domestic staff totalling forty-six (46).

CREDIT UNION The Credit Union organised for the benefit of staff of 194. the Department showed continued progress.

The membership at 31st December, 1968 was one hundred and five (105) and seven (7) general and twelve (12) committee meetings were held during the year.
The cash in bank at the end of the year was $17,974.

Loans were granted for the purpose of purchasing Houses, land and furniture and during the year eighty-six (86) persons were assisted to the value of $22,394 while the sum of $20,977 was repaid on previous loans.

VOLUNTARY ORGANISATIONS 195.

The report on the work of the Social Assistance Department for the year 1968 would be incomplete without reference to the valuable work done by voluntary organisations in the country for the relief of the needy.
Hundreds of families would be much the poorer without the friendly and practical help given all year found.
