WELFARE BOARD SECURES
CCC CLOTHING FOR NEEDY
More Than 1000 Articles To Be
Purchased For l Cent Each

The Garrett County Welfare Board,
at a meeting on Monday evening,
made arrangements to sponsor a pro-
ject to buy clothing from the Swallow
Falls CCC camp, to be distributed
among the needy in the county. The
garments are to be washed and then
sent to the WPA sewing rooms to be
reconditioned. The camp is asking
only one cent each for these garments.
Army regulations until recently
made it mandatory to destroy all used
garments and all other used equip
ment, but an order recently came from
headquarters allowing them to be sold
for one cent each, provided the pur-
chaser would have them cleaned.
The following articles have been
purchased by the local welfare board:
One thousand blankets, 1000 wind
breakers, 500 pairs of shoes, 1000
shirts, 600 overcoats.
Several organization in the
county have contributed to the fund,
as it is not possible to use welfare
board funds for this purpose under
present regulations.
At the board meeting four addition
al old-age pensions were granted and
five families were granted aid from
dependent children's funds. One blind
pension was also granted.
During December, according to
Miss Ethel Miller, executive secre-
tary, 351 old age pensioners received
S6,022.30; 298 children were helped
to the amount of S2,991.18, and eight
blind persons received $15880. Cost of
administration and child welfare SER
vices totaled S1,650.5S. Miss Miller
said old age pension funds were very
low and except for requirements very
few new cases can be added in the
next few months to the rolls now eX-
listing.
Applications, for WPA work con
tinue to increase, fifty-six having been
received since the first of January
1t was also announced that ten boys
were sent to CCC camps in January
the quota allowed Garrett county.
The chairman announced that Miss
NTi1lo,, had hean asked to serve on ar
oral examination board for the State
of Pennsylvania and the board grant
ed her a leave of three days in order
To give this service to that State.
