PEOPLES FORUM
OUTLINES BENEFITS OF
SOCIAL SECURITY ACT

EQlCOF, Inc OlIlZcn.
In view of the fact that this
state will vote in November on
the ratification of the Social Sc
eurity Actfand that assistance to
the blind. aged pand dependent
children, etc., will depend on the
outcome of that election. think
it will be of some interest to us
to know q few of the benefits en-
joyed by q state now eligible to
receive some of the ten separate
benefits created by the Social Sc
curity Act.
The state in question is not
participating. in aid 10 dependent
children in their own homes.
According to the report issued
by this state, more than $780,
900 has been received by this
state for public assistance to the
needy aged, and the needy blind.
The same state has received $685.
|674 for service to mothers and
children from the Children's Blu
reau of the Department of La
Dor.
Aid has been given to more
than 3O,380 persons from these
funds.
Twenty-nine thousand, three
hundred men and women over 70
years of age and 1889 blind per-
sons have Leen cared for.
One fine feature of the aid CIV
en- is that the allowance was re-
ceiyed in advance or each quar-
ter. A most generous arrange
ment. Of course, this particular
state has met the six conditions,
making it eligible to receive such
assistance.
Those persons have received the
information as to the estimated
number of social security cases in
our own county, must have given
most serious attention to what is
therein revealed.
Dependent aged, 81?
| Dependent children, PIT.
Dependent blind, u.
What is glost suggestive and
causes some anxiety. is that in
the question of pensions Monroe
has. according to the figures sup
lplied, EFT aged dependents, with
rs reported as eligible to receive
assistance so far as pensions are
concerned.
Well might the great Master
declare that the poor are always
with US.
1t is well for us that we have
noble band of public spirited per-
sons who. are doing what they can
to help as many as possible of
these dependent aged.
Of course, writing as minister
of the Gospel, as well as a social
worker, I see tremendous diff
culties in community with saloons
wide open, a town with no city
regulations for the drink. and with
bolita places wide open all over
the town.
No community, living as we
are, can spend the money that is
being spent, in drink and gamb-
ling, without the enrichment of a
vicious few, and the impoverish-
ment of the people as a whole.
The very first thing, as 1 view
matters, is to see that the saloons
are closed. on Sunday, at mid
night, and that every gambling
place is closed and Kept closed.

Random Notes

MIR. Bisserup states that he has no IN
tention of running for membership in the
Council. We presume that.
He makes more important statement
when he says that DIR. ID. c. Canegata is
the only Government employee for who n
he would cast his vote.
Dr. Canegata could not be curbed
when serving as municipal physician
even though the penalty mean: the loss
of his position.
His new office as Police Judge has not
tied his tongue nor influenced his con
duct as a Councilman. He stan1s out
from among the crowd.
But it is good to have Nh. Bisserup a
gree with US that our little council of
nine will be no place for government
employees how, with single exception
say and do only what pleases III. chief
executive.
We do not blame them for safeguard
ing their jobs. Bat wide awake voters
would never elect men who are bound
