approval. All grants are to be based
on need only, and the fact alone
that a person is over IS years of age
signifies nothing if he is able to care
for himself, or has relatives who are
able to do so.
Passage of the act in no way re-
lieves relatives of the responsibility
Of caring for parents, dependent
children and indigents when it is
possible for them to do so. Many ap-
olications have come into the office
from people of means, who have the
wrong impression of the purpose of
the program. These naturally cannot
be granted.
This assistance is in no way to be
counted pension. It is to be grant
ed on the basis of need, as in the Re-
lief program which has been in eff
feet, and if it is found that the need
no longer exists it can be cancelled
at any time.
Applications must first be ap-
proved in the Ashe county office,
then in the Raleigh office of the
State Board of Allotments and APP
peals. This naturally will take time,
resulting in lapse of perhaps sew
eral week to possibly month or
two before becoming effective, de-
pending upon the time necessary to
properly study and classify the case
in both offices.
It must be realized by citizens of
the county that there is a limit to
the Federal and State funds, one
fourth of which must be paid by the
county, and that on this account on
ly a limited number of cases can be
approved.
Much misunderstanding is prevail
ent also as to the amount to be re-
ceived by those to whom compensa-
ton is granted. The United States
average is only $500, based on city
standards, which would make pay
ments to Ashe county applicants
average from $500 to $500 per
month per person. On the basis of
each 200 aged persons granted COM
pensation, the county would have to
contribute 100000. For each $50
children, $2,85O.OO, with a levy of
.3155 for the aged, and a levy of
.0847 for dependent children. Total
administrative cost for these cases
would be $4,920.00.
Field supervisors of social work

EASY Y-TO-MAKE DESSERT
By MRS. ALEXANDER GEORGE
 AP Feature Service Writer


 There will soon be an out-of the kitchen movement afoot in many households.
 For springtime brings playtime and playtime means planning meals that are easy to prepare.
 These meals can't be quite so simple as they might be in the midst of hot summer, however = when a crisp salad, few sandwiches and a cool drink often will be more than satisfactory.
 But a number of substitutions may be made in the family menu to tighten it even this early in the season. One of the most effective ways in which to accomplish this end is to plan a simpler dessert. Custards, for instance, are both easy to make and easy to digest. Whats more, they are likely to be increasingly economical because of lower egg prices which generally come in the spring.
 Custard Secrets
 The secret of making good GUS tards lies in careful cooking. They should be cooked at a fairly low temperature, since too much heat will. cause them to curdle. Baked custard is done when it is still a little soft in the center. It will stiffen when it is colder Boiled cus- tard is done when it leaves a light yellow coating on spoon.) 1
 The addition of fruits gives a delightful flavor to many custard mixtures. Nuts, raisins, cocoanut, candied fruits and dates provide pleasing deviations from the regu- lar recipe And variety of sauces, whipped cream or ice cream may also be added.
 Sponge or angel food cakes, topped with jelly and then covered with boiled custard, will prove to be popular desserts. So will tapioca served with rhubarb-or a one-egg cake served with such toppings as caramel chocolate, cocoanut or Eraisin sauces or crushed fruits. Below are two desserts which are practical to serve during the com- ing weeks of spring:
 Caramel CuStard Four eggs, beaten; tablespoons sugar; l teaspoon vanilla; E tea spoon salt; cups milk; table spoons caramel syrup.
 Beat the eggs and add sugar, van- fila, salt and milk. Pour into custard cups which have been rinsed out in cold water and into each of which two- thirds of tablespoon of the syrup has been placed. Set cups in pan of hot water and bake in an oven of moderately slow tempera- ture. Cool and chill. Top with plain or whipped cream and few chopped nuts, raisins, cocoanuts, or candied fruits.
 Preserved fruit peel may also be used for topping or garnishing. To make caramel syrup, sprinkle one cup of sugar in frying pan Heat slowly and stir constantly witE a wooden spoon until the syrup is a light brown color. Add one anc

DOUGLAS CITY COUNCIL HOLDS
 SPECIAL MEET
Location of New Fire Hall Settled = Building
 Code Submitted

The matter of exchanging two city owned lots, former church lot on St. Ann's Avenue, and one lot for parsonage in the residence sec tion, for the church owned lot, corner Third and E streets was definitely settled by vote of the Council and deeds ordered drawn up at the special meeting which was held last evening. Councilman Jen- sen presided over the meeting in the absence of Mayor Goetz.
 Lester Troast, architect, who was present at the meeting, presented 9 tentative plan for the new city structure, which is to be started as soon as details are settled. The floor arrangement, particularly that part concerned with location of entrance doors for fire truck, city truck and street grader occasioned some argu- ment. Concensus of opinion among the firemen favored a Third street entrance for the fire truck as it would be the more sheltered side from prevailing winds and doors for the other vehicles could be placed on E street. Definite plans will be made ready at once according to announcement.
 Councilman A. J. Balog, who is chairman of the fire truck commit tee was commissioned to place the order for a new fire truck and ac- cessories this morning. The com mittee endorsed the purchase of a Ford truck which with the necessary equipment, and a new 21h h.p. ver- tical siren will amount to $2,640. Some cf the equipment including the siren, will be shipped on a sixty -day trial basis.
 Building Code Is Read
 A building code for the town, with ordinance to legalize, was present. ed to the Council by Architect Troast and given first reading. When it is given two more readings at subsequent meetings, it will then be eligible for enactment. The code, designed to protect property, health and life, includes the most reason able requirements to be followed out in all buildings to be construct ed and calls for the appointment of a building inspector by the city who will issue permits for $100 when ap- plication is made and approved by him.
 Bills to the amount of $873 50 were approved and ordered paid at the meeting. Resignation of Ed McCor- mick as Councilman was again pre- sented and accepted Arrangements were then made for the proper se- lection of a successor for the re- mainder of his two year term when the election is held next week.
 Lew Rent Housing Plan
 MT. Troast explained the proposed set-up planned by Congress for municipalities to secure building of units for low rent housing facilities It will be handled through the PWA office in Juneau when effective and offers Douglas an unusual oppor- tunity to increase the population l The Council will look further into the matter while awaiting the proper jurisdiction, making it pos sible to take advantage of it.
 F. A. J. Gallwas, chairman of the Douglas relief committee, reported the clean up work completed with an expenditure of $2,182.20.

IS, DISCUSSED AT
 ROTARY TODAY
Alaska Clubs Will Attempt to Bring l938 Rotary
 Conference to Territory

Discussion of Juneaus repreSen- tation at the Rotary District Con- ference in Vancouver, B. C., May 2-5, took up much of the meeting of the Rotary Club in the Terminal Cafe at noon today.
 Because the Juneau and Ketchi- kan Rotary Clubs are conducting a campaign to get the 1898 Rotary District Conference in Alaska, the Juneau club is making an effort to send a trio of delegates to the Van couver convention that will be con- vincing enough to sell the Alaska trip.
 Should Alaska win the District Conference in 1888, between 1000 and 1,500 Rotary Conference dele- gates would make the trip. accord ing to present plans, on two ships chartered for the occasion.
 Rotary Directors, nominated to- day for election at the regular meet ing on the second Tuesday in April were M. J. Wilcox, E. J. Blake, N Lester Troast, J. B. Burford, Will liam O. Carlson, Charles D. Beale, Dr. w. w. Council, Wallis George V. w. Mulvihill, Percy Reynolds, Ed Sweum, Elwood McClain, H. C. Walmsley.

ststution paleontologist, but were in

Appeared Suddenly.
This constitutes one OF the paradoxes
Of paleontology. Like man himself.
the dinosaur race seems to have ap-
peared on earth almost fully developed.
It has no know ancestry. In the
Permian geological period which pre-
cedes the Triassic by q few million
years, only quite questionable dinosaur
remains have been found. Abundant
were the great amphibians, giant fore
runners Of the toads and frogs Of TO-
day. Unquestionably the dinosaurs
were derived from them in some way,
but the intermediate steps are almost
completely lost. Yet, Mr.. Gilmore
points out, 1t must have taken millions
of years of evolution to have made
such perfectly good reptile as q
dinosaur out Of an amphibian.
The Gettysburg dinosaurs seem to
have been lords Of all they surveyed.
Some rather anomalous footprints in
the Gettysburg shale indicate that
some small creatures Of another reptile
family may have lived among them.
No traces Of vegetable life have been
found in the shale. yet it is reasonable
to believe that 1t must have been there.
The dinosaurs ordinarily were bipeds,
walking upright on their hind legs and
perhaps roughly comparable to kanga-
roos. In Triassic beds elsewhere, tracks
OF the front limbs Of the animals are
found only rarely.
Show Traces Of Claws.
At Gettysburg, however, the reptiles
seem to have been engaged in leisurely
feeding. They often dropped FORE
ward so that their front feet were i'm
pressed in the mud. Most Of the front
feet tracks show traces of claws. Their
makers very probably were flesh
eaters, perhaps grabbing their living
prey from the lake shore ooze. But
some show no evidence of claws. They
may have been plant browsers, the
foreruSners of the herbage -eating
dinosaurs which developed into the
titans Of the race
Altogether about $50 tracks have
been found in the shale. Also the rock
bears traces Of ancient raindrops fall
ing on the soft mud and many water
ripple marks are found. There are

Dawn Of Reptile Age.
The footprints date from the Trias-
sic geological period, the beginning Of
the age of reptiles. Here the first
creatures which can definitely be iden-
titled from their fossil remains as dino
saurs made their appearance. They
were of all sizes from a chicken to q
horse. The monsters of the dinosaur
race, the largest animals ever to appear
on earth, were few millions of years
in the future.
The tracks near Gettysburg are
from half inch to six inches in
length. The longest stride is approxi-
mately 80 inches, indicating an animal
about the size of man. The creatures
were more primitive and generalized
than the later dinosaurs, says DR..

Of 180,000,000 years ago. The area
appears to have been intermittently

The find constitutes an important
addition to early dinosaur material.
