IN the Air and IN It

Chicago, June ia typical week
on NBC Shows that spots for sepias
on that network have about reach
ell maturity. Maturity, that is, that
comes when one is old enough to
vote, for they have already passed
t~wenty-one.
NBC program planners n to be
commented tn their a%stuteness.
Statistics prove that the Negro
population Is onlv T actionally less
than ten per cent Of the total pop
nlation of the eonn Y. In large
northern cities tbs preoortion is
increased. Looking at it from any
angle. the favor Of r nstitueney
that large is not to be ignored.
Since radio in the United States is
mainly commercial, the purchasing
power of millions of Negroes
mounts amazing figures. When n
considers, also, that the vast ma
joiity of us live so close to the
margins of our incomes that we
must, will, and do spend-the i'm
portance of making a special APP
peal to us becomes more signifi-
can't.
MO- has taken the lead To.
To MIC, u thanks and the Walter
Winchell orchid. To MIC also, a
suggestion:
That the time given to sepia
spots so often conflicts with pop
and well established pro-
grams often on their own network
that nj is at a loss to know
how to listen to both. Specifically:
Cleo Brown appears on a split
Red network, and must rival Little
Orphan Annie for listeners:
Nudge Williams splits the Red
again, with House Jamison, com
mentator, MAI Brusiloff's orchest-
RI, and guests on the other part Of
the network:
The Yagabonds may be heard in
the locality of Chicago only by tun-
ing to small stations, encountering
faulty reception. Moreover, the
other part of the network carries
the dramatic sketch, the O'Neills.

Obviously, no legislation of such

BRAINS GROWTH KEEPS
UP UNTIL AGE OF so OR 60

WASHINGTON Feb. The brain
inside your head continues to grow
until the age of SO or so years.
Evidence for this invisible growth,
detected by measurments of great
numbers of human heads, is report
ed here by DR.. Ales Hrdlicka, noted
anthropologist of the United States
National museum.
That the human head continues to
grow, until old age sets in, is DEM
onstrated by DR.. Hrdlicka's own
measurements of American heads.
Foreign scientific studies REVEAL the
same growth phenomenon in other
peoples.
DR.. Hrdlicka has concluded the
most logical cause for this head
growth is that the brain itself is
growing, since there is no evidence
that the scalp or bones of the vault
thicken with age.
Continued slight growth of the
brain does not serve to improve in
telligence in adults, so far as is
known.

Favored Son Of
Ohio Village to
Help Rebuild It
One Of Nations Wealthiest Men
Remembers Hometown
After Flood

John w. Haussermann, one of the
nations wealthiest men, has offered
to pay the flood rehabilitation bill
New Richmond, O., his home village
which was one of the hardest hit
communities in the Cincinnati area.
The former judge-advocate and
attorney general of the Philippine
islands under President Taft asked
his nephew, Stanley c. Roetinger, by
telephone from Manila, P. l., for a
complete report on conditions in the
village of 1900 persons, three miles
from his palatia1 farm home and
birthplace.
Unofficial estimates of flood dam
age in New Richmond, Is miles east
of here, have placed the probable
cost of rehabilitation at 100000.
'"This is not the first time that Mr..
Haussermann, after a flood, has fl
nanced the restoration of New Rich
mond, which he deeply loves" said
Roettinger.
''He has done it after every flood
since 1913, but it has never been so
extensive an underwriting as at this
time.
Ellis fortune has been used for the
benefit of less fortunate persons at
times other than disasters"

| the act, that which relates to assist
: ance for aged persons who are
needy. One question stands out.
Why must we have at this late
date some form of Federal assistance
for aged persons in dire circum-
stances? The answer is simple. In
bygone days families were COM
pact unit, with sometimes as many
as three or four generations living
together or at close call. Family re-
sources were pooled and the young
er generations cared for those be-
longing to the older Today families
are scattered. Responsibilities are
heavier. Modern life has become
more complex. AS result, many
responsible persons, millions in fact,
through no fault of their own are,
at the twilight of life, in dire cir
cumstances. States cannot solve the
problem alone.
What is meant by aid for the aged
needy? Cash payments by the state
to aged persons who are in need, and
whose applications for assistance are
approved by the state.
What is the basis of Federal par
ticipation? When state has written
into law an approved plan for aid to
the aged needy, the Federal Govern
ment makes grants equal to one-half
of the total expenditures of the state
or it's subdivisions. However, Feder-
al contributions may not apply to
any monthly payments exceeding
$4,000. Thus, if the state of North
Carolina provides $500 per month
for example, the Federal Govern
ment adds another $500, and the
beneficiary receives $4,000. Federal
grants may not be used in making
payments to persons under IS or to
inmates of public institutions.
Who is eligible? All persons who
meet the requirements fixed by the
state law.
What are the requirements as to
age, citizenship and residence? Until
January l, 1910, state law may re-
quire that an applicant be as much
as 70 years of age; after that date no
state law may impose an age re-
quirement in excess of IS years,
which is the generally approved
minimum age. No citizen of the
United States may be excluded on
the grounds that his or her citizen
ship is not of long enough standing.
No one who has been resident of
state for five out of. the nine years
preceding application, and who has
lived in the state continuously for
the year Immediately before apply
ing, may be denied assistance on the
ground that they have not lived in
the state long enough.
What provisions with reference to
property held by beneficiary?
States usually provide that persons
with property not assessed above
certain value may receive old-age
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1937-02-11

assistance, provided they do not
have sufficient income for their
own support. This provision makes
it possible for the aged to continue
living in their own homes. If there
are husband and wife, the home
may, as rule, remain in their pos
session until the death of both. Many
states make some provision for COL
lecting from a beneficiary's estate,
after his death, any amount up to
the total of assistance payments
made to him during his lifetime. To
repay the Federal Government for
its share in the assistance payments,
onehalf of all such collections made
with respect to assistance furnished
under an approved plan is deposited
in the United States Treasury to the
credit of Federal old-age assistance
appropriations.
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1937-02-11

the blind and dependent children
are already firmly established. These
features are based on the long-stand-
ing principle of Federal-aid to the
states. The Federal Government is
giving the machinery and funds to
help the state aid their needy. The
states themselves, through state
laws, must put the machinery in
motion. The state of North Carolina
is at the moment engaged in the eff
fort to write its law, in accord with
minimum Federal requirements, and
raise the necessary state funds to
match Federal moneys.
In the brief space of this article,
I shall endeavor to answer few of
the many questions that have come
to me with regard to one phase of

Nebraska, said he had not been told
OF the situation previously.

sure it will be unnecessary for him
to seek other assistance"

she had contributed to the support
of the aged man ever since the death
of her husband.

~ =. h. raruham. Dairy specielist. NcrtA
Carolina Stata Coleee.-WllU Service.
Comparatively few farmers take
full advantages Of their corn crop In
producing feed for winter consump-
ton. Corn made into silage pro-
duces more succulent roughage per
acre than any sother known crop.
The trench silo Is the very thing
for small farms where large up
right silos would be impractical.
Trench silos. inexpensive and con-
venient, are also being used more
and more on farms where large
herds are kept. 81
There is q growing tendency to-
ward silage in preference to dry
hays. Unfavorable weather at har-
vesting time IS less serious for 81
lage than when hay is being cut
and cured.
Silage is succulent and keeps cat
tie in good condition through the
winter. Silage production requires
less acreage and, therefore, permits
the use Of soil-building crops on land
that would otherwise be needed for
growing hay.
II The construction Of q trench silo
Is fairly simple. A narrow trench
should be dug on farms where only
q few animals are to be fed. "A
