QUALIFICATIONS FOR OLD
AGE PENSIONS ARE GIVEN
S. E. Shannahan, State Chari-
ties Board Head, Says New
Law Is Misunderstood
IS NOT SOLE ELIGIBILITY

A flood of non-eligible applicants for
old-age pensions-persons who filed
for a pension simply because they had
passed the age of 65-yesterday led
Samuel E. Shannahan, chairman of
the Board of State Aid and Charities,
to set forth a list of qualifications for
eligibility.
The State old-age pension law,
legally operative June l, has not been
placed in effect, but Investigations
are being made all over Maryland by
local welfare boards and lists of eligi-
bles are being prepared.
Surplus revenue from the one per
cent. gross receipts tax-that is, all
above $3,500,000 pledged to direct re-
lief-is to be applied to old-age pen
sion payments. None of the surplus
has been made available yet by the
State Treasury, but will be forthcom-
ing, welfare officials said, when col
lection of the $3,5OO,00O for direct re-
lief has been assured.
S1,500,000 Fund Expected
1t is expected, if the full $1,500,000
of the surplus dedicated to old-age
pensions does not accrue, that what
ever surplus there is will be allocated
prorata among the States twenty
four political subdivisions. The old
age pension law was passed at the
last Legislature.
unfortunately" Mr.. Shannahan
said yesterday, at seems there is con-
siderable misunderstanding regarding
the new old-age pension law through
out the State.
"The Board of State Aid and Chair
ties and all its local units have been
literally swamped with applications
from thousands of people who are I'M
der the impression they are eligible
for old-age relief merely because they
are IS years of age or over.
"This, of course, is not the case. We
must be guided by the law now on the
statute books, which states that only
those who are in need and without
resources are eligible. In order to de-
termine need, thorough financial in
vestigation must be made and certain
specific requirements must be met.
Must Be Without Support
"Thus the law requires that the
applicant must be without means of
support either from his own resources

RED CROSS ESTABLISHES
FIRST AID STATION HERE
Has Been Placed At Chimney
Corner, Red House And Is First
In State Along Highways
TO INSTRUCT TEACHERS

The first Red Cross station
for frst-aid along highways in
the State of Maryland has been
established at the Chimney Cor
ner, at Red House, it was an
nounced yesterday by Mrs. E. z.
Tower, county chairman of the
Red Cross organization.
Roger White, proprietor of Chin
ney Corner, and his assistant, have
completed a course in Red Cross first
aid work and are now qualified and
ready to furnish 24-hour service to
anyone injured and needing frst-aid
treatment.
The American Red Cross is plan
ming to have more frst-aid stations
along the highways of the country,
especially the national highways, such
on Route so, Route 40, etc., but Mr..
White and his assistant have been the
first in the State to qualify. The pur-
pose primarily is to furnish frst-aid
to persons injured in automobile ac-
cidents, although anyone else in
jured accidentally will be treated.
The Garrett County Chapter of the
Red Cross will provide first-aid kits
and the station sign to those qualify
ing for the work.
DR.. Eugene C. Peck, county health
officer, is giving frst-aid instruction
to bus drivers and teachers in the
public schools of the county and the
local chapter of the Red Cross will fur
nish kits also to those who complete
the course of instruction. This will
insure better treatment of accidents
among children where physicians are
not Immediately available.
Mrs. Tower also announced that the
Red Cross roll call quota this year for
the county would be 400 members.
More than four hundred members
joined last year, it was stated. The
annual roll call usually starts in No
vember.
