more than it appears as all the other

may continue. Superintendent Rich
ard A. Shields, Lewes, expressed his

BENEFTTSF
DELAWARE
Citizens Eligible For Six
Of Ten Public Services
Created By Security Act

Delaware citizens are now eligible
for six Of the 10 separate benefits
and public services created by the
Social Security act, Il is announced
by John G. Winant, chairman Of the
Social Security Board.
These benefits and services are:
Assistance to the needy aged; aid to
dependent children in their own
homes; maternal and child-health
services; child-welfare services;
public-health services and Federal
Old-age benefits, to begin in 1887.
The State is not participating in:
Aid to the needy blind; unemploy-
ment compensation; services for
crippled children and vocational re-
habilitatiOn.
That the benefits already received
have been very substantial Is shown
by a summary made public by the
board in connection with the first
anniversary of the Social Security
act, which became a law last August
This summary indicates that more
than S126,OOO for public assistance
to the needy aged and to dependent
children has come to Delaware from
the Social Security Board.
In addition, the State has received
$11,913 for services to mothers and
children from the Children's Bureau
of the U. S. Department Of Labor and
smaller. but substantial, sums have
come to Delaware from Federal de-
partments administering other pro-
visions of the act.
The allowances made to Delaware
for assistance to the needy aged and
to dependent children, matched by
equal or greater funds provided by
the State itself. have made possible
aid to 1862 needy persons.
Delaware was one of the States
whose first allowance Of Federal
funds for old-age assistance was In
the mails within three days after
President Roosevelt had signed the
bill carrying the first Congressional
appropriation to the Social Security
Board on February II of this year.
In the six months since then the
United States Treasury, at the re-
quest Of the Social Security Board.
has sent to Delaware $121.02S for
this form of assistance. In the case
of aid to dependent children Della
ware did not qualfy for Federal
funds until August and $5e93 has
been sent the State to cover the
months of August and September.
These allowances have enabled
Delaware to render assistance to
27OO aged men and women as COM
Dared with 1888 such persons as
sisted in 1884, the year before the
passage of the Social Security act.
Under their newly effective Federal
State plan for aid to dependent chill
dren in their own homes State Ot1-
cials have estimated that S52 individ-
uals will be eligible for assistance.
