RETROACTIVE AID
FORBIDDEN BY LAW
YeltOn Statement Result of Charge
From Wilson County Old
Age President

Raleigh, Oct. 14.-Nathan Fl. Vel
ton, director of the Division of Pub
lie Assistance of the State Board of
Charities and Public Welfare, has an
nounced that retroactive old age ben
eft payments are prohibited, and
that the federal government has re-
fused to assume its share of such pay
ments, if and when made.
Mr.. Yelton's statement was in re-
ply to charge made by w. r. Dixon
president of the Wilson County Old
Age Association, who alleged that red
tape, failure to certify applications
promptly, and arbitrary rulings a.
gainst retroactive payments was caus-
ing discomfort and suffering.
1t was pointed out by Mr.. Yelton
that on two occasions he had sought
the opinion of Washington Social Sc
curity Board officials regarding re-
troactive payments and had been in
formed each time that the federal
government would not match" funds
for such payments. He cited a case
in another state where a $3.50 grant
was issued in August to cover pay
ments from April through August, and
said that the national government had
refused to pay it's portion for more
than the August payment. ~

BOB TAYLOR GIVES
DREAM OF HEAVEN
Called One of Gems of English Lang
uage; Was Uttered by Ten
neSsee Statesman
IN. c. Christian Advocate

Bob Taylor's dream of heaven is
beautiful in the superlative degree. It
is one of the gems of the English ton
que. Amid the mad and headlong rush
of this busy age we might do well to
stop and listen again to the singing
sentences of this eloquent East Ten
nesseeean. Hear him: what heaven l.,
like do not know, but I have dream
e dof it's purple hills and fields of
light, blossoming with immortal
beauty; of it's brooks of laughter and
it's rivers of song and it's palaces of
eternal love. I long have dreamed that
every bird with it's life here may sing
forever there in the tree of life, and
every consecrated soul that suffers
here may rest among it's flowers and
live and love forever 1 long have
dreamed of opal towers and FURNISHED
golden domes, but what care I for
gates of pearl or streets of gold if 7
can meet the loved ones who have
blessed me here, and see the glorified
faces of father and mother and the
