of the grants to the recipients both
of Id Age Assistance and Aid to De-
pendent Children on the basis of the
investigation made by the Welfare
Department.
The state average for the grants
for Id Age Assistance is 1920. The
grants vary in amounts from $500 to
$4,000 according to the need of the
applicant. It is estimated that approx
imately $4,000 will actually receive
assistance by the end of the year. For
Dependent Children the state average
is $5.65. The average in the larger
urban centers will he higher than in
the rural sections of the state. The
state average for Old Age Assistance
in urban centers is $500 and $500
FOR Aid to Dependent Children. APP
proximately $500 applications have
been received for July grants. Due to
the fact that a great deal of detailed
Information is called for on the ap-
plication, especially in regard to YER
ification of age and citizenship, it has
been necessary to return applications
to practically nearly every county for
correction.

PUBLIC ASSISTANCE
BY NATHAN III. YELTON.
Director Division of Public Assistance

The Division of Public Assistance
was created by the 1887 legislature
within the State Board of Charities
and Public Welfare for the purpose
of administering those phases of the
Social Security Program that deal
with "Old Age Assistance and Aid to
Dependent Children"
How" 1t Functions.
The Division headquarters are at
present located on the second and
third floors of the Edwards and
Broughton building on Hargett street.
Policies for the administration of the
Act are determined by the State
Board of Charities and Public We'll
fare. The State Board of Allotments
and Appeal is composed of the Chair
man of the State Board, the Commits
sioner of Public Welfare and the Di-
rector of Public Assistance who is
Secretary to the Board.
The Board of Allotments and Ap-
peal works directly through the re-
gular WcSfare Departments in the
various counties as each county now
has a full time Superintendent of
Public Welfare. The County Board of
Public Welfare makes the allotment

that it is concave on one side and
convex on the other.
The infected tissue soon dies and
urns dark brown. Sometimes a num-
)er of spots are found on one leaf.
The fungi spreads rapidly from leaf
o leaf and often so to 80 percent Of
the foliage becomes infected.
Owens pointed out that leaf curl
in advanced stages stunts the growth
of oak trees and damages the root
systems, as the diseased leaves can
not properly carry out their function
of manufacturing food material.
The disease was fairly widespread
last year, and has spread still far
Their this year, but conditions favor
ing development of the disease rarely
persist for several years in succession,
he added.
For this reason, the trees are sell

the applicant, if dissatisfied, has q
right to appeal to the State Board of
-Allotments and Appeal whose decision
is final.
Property Qualifications.
The State Board of Allotments and
Appeal has not as yet set up any
standards for property limitations.
The Welfare Departments have been
instructed to base the program on
need and at the same time make the
Welfare Boards in each of the 100
counties responsible for saying who
is eligible and the size of the grant.
The Boards of Commissioners have
right to review the grants in the
event they desire to do sc. It is con-
ceiveable however, that a person who
is of age, say 65 and owns property
valued at four or five hundred dollars
is eligible to participate in the assis-
tance program.
1t has been stated before that the
purpose of the program is not to take
over the responsibility of people who
are caring for their relatives in COM
Portable homes but for those people
whose income is not sufficient to
maintain a decent standard of living.
1t is not anticipated that the program
will be abused.
Eligibility Requirements.
There are in the law specific eligi-
bility requirements and the applicant
for Old Age Assistance and Aid to
Dependent Children must not only
state those items clearly and accurate
hi rrix
verification of those items.
In verifying statements of appli-
cant Case Worker must give source
of verification-either authentic docu-
mentary evidence or sworn affidavits.
1t is necessary to definitely verify
for Old Age Assistance the age, cit
izenship, Gncluding birthplace), resi-
dence, domicle, and need, and for Ait.
to Dependent Children-age resid-
ence, kinship, domicile, and need.
1t is essential that the applications
be properly prepared and give clear
cut and complete evidence of eligi-
bility since it is only through that
evidence that the State and Federal
Governments can participate in the
royment of awards.
Administrative Cost
It is the intention of the STATE
&. rd of Allotments and Appeal 20
a. minister the progr. just as eff
c'"3':y and economics - as j.. ;ossi
BILE to do. It has been necessary to
increase the personnel in the various
County Welfare Departments in or
der to handle the program efficiently
and without delay to the applicants.
The 100 counties spent for their well
fare departments last year 1888, 1857
plus $7O,GoC4Od from Federal funds
spent by the state in helping the
counties making a grand total Of
$428, 1857 for Welfare Administration
for the year ending June 80, 1887.
The administration of Old Age AS
sistance and Aid to Dependent Chill
dren will add to this approximately
$780, 1883 of which $15O,714.76 will be
paid by the counties and $685., 724.12
will be paid by the State and Federal
Governments for the coming year. It
is difficult to determine the exact
cost until after the program has been
under way for there will be several
adjustments in the various counties
to be made regarding the personnel
and other items in the budgets.

STRIKERS ON
FEDERAL RELIEF

Strikes will never end and men will
never want to go back to work as long
as they can live comfortably without
working. Under its relief policy the
federal government is doing its best
to assure strikers, among others, that
they will not go hungry, and will not
lack the necessities. Some men ask
nothing better. Why should they work?
In the economic readjustment that is
taking place in America, there should
be some readjustment in new ideas as
we'll as old. Most sadly in need of re-
adjustment, or perhaps of new manage
ment. is the federal relief organization
which feeds men who refuse to work.
Strikers are not, technically or morally,
entitled to relief. They are not victims
of an unemployment which they cannot
help. They are instigators of their own
unemployment They do not work be-
cause they do not want to work.
In the San Francisco area, from Oc-
tober % to January q, 1886 strikers
went on relief. Their leaders, in fact,
urged all maritime strikers who could
qualify to get on the relief rolls, so
they could conserve strike funds. They
managed, in fact, to make the federal
government, in part, finance the mari
time strike.
Of the 1886 strikers who went on re-
lief, 1900 were men with families. They
received approximately $50 a month
each in federal relief checks. The 2036
single men received an average of $50
a month each. They did no work for
the money.
During the Salinas lettuce strike, the
striker with family could get $50
month on relief, he received 81 day if
he went on picket duty, and he could
eat without charge at the union restaur-
ant, The Poodle Dog. Again, why should
they work?
Our government is supposed to be
paternalistic one 1t is supposed to rep
resent all of the people. If that is so,
and if it is to finance industrial strife
by placing strikers on relief, why not
go farther? Why not finance the en-
ployer, too, in the time when he is los
ing thousands of dollars? Why not bear
his loss, as well as that of the worker?
The Administration urges employers
to create new employment 1t is hardly
fitting that any branch of government
with or without the Administrations
consent, should finance a strike that Gre
ates greater unemployment by crippling
industry
The giving of relief to those who need
it is a noble deed borne of noble senti-
ment; the giving of relief to those who
are not qualified to receive it is gross
foolishnesS.
