HURRICANE PASSES US BY

This immediate vicinity was fortu-
nate in escaping the violent hurri-
cane that swept up the Atlantic
coast on Thursday and Friday, leav-
ing wreck and ruin, from the Caro-
linas to the New England States,
amounting to thousands upon thou
sands of dollars. Rising Sun got
only sprinkle of rain, on Friday,
and very little strong wind.
The heavy downpour Of rain
swept as far inland as Fair Hill,
where it was veritable deluge Fri
day afternoon, but passed us by
entirely.
Storm warnings were broadcast by
the Government Weather Bureau,
giving coastwise shipping time to
scurry to shelter, thereby saving lives
and property. Acting on these warn
ings the Cecil county school authori-
ties deemed it advisable to dismiss all
public schools early in the afternoon,
in order that children living at dis
lance might have time to reach their
homes before the expected storm
broke, but fortunately the heavy
storm did not reach this far.

CECIL COUNTY WELFARE BOARD
Issues Statement In Relation To Old
Age Pensions

The Cecil County Welfare Board,
which is also the Old Age Pension
Board, held its regular monthly
meeting Monday night, Sept. Fl, at
Elkton. At this meeting the fol-
lowing information was prepared for
publication:

lions are governed by the amount
appropriated by the counties-for
every dollar appropriated by the
Counties, the State appropriates two
dollars and the Federal Government
three dollars.
The Board wishes to call attention
to the fact that no money from this
fund is used for administration pur-
poses-or for any other except PEN
sions, medical care and funeral ex-
penses.
OF the 210 approved for pensions,
16 have died and one discontinued
for other reasons, making 1913 re-
ceiving pensions amounting to $3,-
O56.2O for the month of October
an average of $15.S3 per person. An
estimated cost of $500 per month for
medical and funeral expenses brings
the months pension costs to ST.
$500. 1t is apparent, therefore,
that very few additional pensions can
be approved for the year ending June
80, 1887. The Board of State Aid
and Charities ruled that no Welfare
Board may spend more than one
twelfth of the total in any one
month, which amount is $3.50.
Asked how selections were made
out of so large a group, the Board
spokesman stated first: all those on
relief were Investigated, as this was
the instruction from the Board of
State Aid and Charities; second:
by investigation, as nearly as pos
sible, those in greatest need.

the President may count on the support of
millions of citizens. Almost to man and
a woman he will have the support OF
around seventeen million voters who did
not cast their ballots for him in the late
election; and we are confident he can
count on the support of millions who voted
for him but did not thereby endorse con-
tinuance of ruinous policies of government
such as the so-called relief program is and
always has been since its Inauguration.
