Over 800 People
Applied For Old
Age Assistance
County Welfare Office Swamped
With Applications. Invcsti-
CATION Takes Time.

The county welfare office is vir.
tually swamped with applications
for Old Age Assistance and Miss
Ruth Tugman, superintendent, urges
each applicant to be as patient as
possible and explains that it requires
a lot of time to make the necessary
investigations.
Over 800 applicants in Ashe county
for Old Age Assistance have already
been filed and before the board OF
welfare can place it's seal of appro-
val on any application, it is neces-
sary, for Miss Tugman and her as
sistants to secure sufficient informa-
ton to determine the need.
1--WE are working just as hard as
we can, but it takes time to make
these investigations and we'll ap-
preciate patience as well as co-ope-
raaion on the part of each appli-
can't" Miss Tugman stated yester-
day.
Besides being patient all appli-
cants are requested to use the same
signature on all of their correspond
ence with the welfare office as in
shown on the original application.
Miss Tugman explained that there
are large number of similar names
in the county and that unless the
applicant signs his or her letter the
same way as the application, a good
deal of confusion and delay results.
In order to qualify for Old Age
Assistance, person must be over
IS years of age, a resident of the
county for the past year and must
be definitely in need. The amount
of assistance given is dependent en-
tirely upon the need, she stated.
During recent months the work of
the welfare department has been
greatly increased. In addition to
the regular duties as outlined by the
board Of county commissioners, Old
Age Assistance, Aid to Dependent
Children, Aid to the Blind, etc., have
been assigned to this department and
Miss Tugman and her assistants, Mrs.
Gladys Neal, field worker and Miss
Catherine 6fcNeill, office manager
and secretary, are doing a highly
commendable job.
At this time Miss Tugman is also
vitality interested in getting all blind
children in the county enrolled in
schools for the blind. To this end
the public is urged to cooperate.

JUNEAU FLYING BOOK ESCAPES
 INJURY, CRASH
Aeronca Washed-Out by Daly in Take-of from
 Airport Pond

Attempting takeoff from too short a stretch of water, Bob Daly, Juneau student flier, crashed early Saturday evening at the PAA air port. considerably damaging the Gastineau Flying Club Aeronca sea plane. but himself luckily escaping without injury.
 The crack-up was the result of foolhardy attempt by Daly to land and take off from the small pond of tide-water ct the edge of the airport. The young pilot was able to successfully maneuver the little craft onto the pond but taking off from the 600-foot stretch wa. an entirely different matter. He hac just succeeded in putting the little plane about four feet into the air when it was caught in a down. draft over the far bank and had not sufficient flying speed to re- cover. one wing dropping to the ground. to throw the ship into a wheeling smashup.
 Members of the flying club yes terday dis-assembled the wreckage and hauled the whole and smashed parts to the Alaska Air Trans port shop here, where an attempt is to be made to repair the plane.
 Second Crash
 Saturdays crash was the secon time the little craft has been dam aged since it was purchased new b the club last summer. It was caugh in the Taku gale that struck Junea' late last winter with disastrous re suits. Made air-worthy once mort and its color changed from the or iginal canary-yellow to red an black. the ship took to the skie again less than two weeks ago, fol lowing it's re-licensing by Aeronau tics Inspector Hugh Brewster.
 Considerable time and expens will be entailed in putting the plan back in shape again from its pres ent state, one wing tip having beer crushed when the plane struck the ground, one float being completely destroyed and considerable damage done to the second pontoon, and all pontoon struts being twisted. One wing was not damaged at all and the fuselage and tail assembly were but slightly hurt, but both blades of the wooden propeller were brok- en. Damage to the fuselage con- sists only of fabric rips, while one metal section of the radder was bent.
 Damage to the "Ronc" is esti- mated at several hundred dollars, It is thought that enc pontoon can be reconstructed from the whole parts of the wrecked two. but an- other must be purchased, as well as all new struts. IL is not expected that the plane can be made ready to

If I had stuck right through the stampades to the drug business, my original vocation, would have made a real cleanup, but instead I went mining and did not go back to drugs until 1903, following the stampede | to Fairbanks.
