proper standard Of care The question OF
whether the ownership of a home was a
debarrinS resource could therefore very
generally be determined by the question
of whether or not it was of such size and
value that the upkeep of it constituted a
greater source Of expense than would the
rental of a suitable home in a proper To-
cation.
The question Of a small bank account Or
the possession of other property was not
quite so simple. In those states where
the aid which could be granted the
mother was not limited by law to GER
tain specified amount to each child it
was easy to say that when the mother
had more than a small emergency fund of
say 500 of $500 she should first use up
what funds she had. then apply for aid
Under the Maine law. however, should
the mother use all her funds. when she
made her application for aid she would
probably discover that the amount which
she could receive was insufficient coupled
with her possible earnings, to care for the
family
The Board has now examined som. 30
cases and after careful considers ton it Is
voted that the general policy, which it
would pursue, in cases Of this kind would
be that the possession of a savings bank
account or other propertv would not be
regarded as a declaring resource unless
its amount of value less a modest re-
serve for sickness burial, etc was
greater than would be required, in add
ton to the other resources of the family,
TO carry it along till the children ar
rived at 4 working age, provided that in
granting aid in such cases suitable plans
should be made by the mother and the
Municipal board with the approval Of the
state board for Il gradual conversion OF
the savings account or other property
into regular addition to the income OF
the family.

MARRIED MEN WHO

as to married men would continue in
force
Senator Chamberlain had written
TO the secretary saying that If 1t were
true that the deferred classification
for married men generally was con-
templated, many senators would op-
pose lowering the present draft age
to Is years.
"The present situation" Mr.. Baker
replied, with regard to married men
IN class | is that four classes of mar
ried men are included within the
limits of that class:
'First-Married men who do not
support their wives or families.
Second - Married men whose
wives support them.
"Third-Marrled men whose wives
have adequate Independent means.
"Fourth-Married men engaged in
Useless occupations and who are not
the main or principal support of their
families.
There is not intention to change
this situation.
I'm constituting the regulations
with regard to the dependency of
wives and children, financial depen-
dency has been looked upon as the
reason for deferred classification.
mis- will continue to be the case.

the country there Is an abnormal in
crease in the rate of marriages,
which suggests the possibility of a
desire to use marriage as a basis for
a claim of exemption.
"The status of reglstrants married
at time and under conditions sug.
testing any such purpose will be that
of unmarried persons so far as their
is concerned"
