odd Age Pension Is Not
Available To All Aged

In some sections OF the State. there
seems to be an idea that all persons
over sixty-five years OF age regard
less Of their circumstances or needs,
are entitled to old age assistance.
This Is not at all true. Under the
law, only those over sixty-five in
need Of the necessities of life, such
as food, clothing, and shelter, with no
brothers or sisters or sons or daugh-
ters reasonably able to supply these
things, either singly or collectively,
may qualify.
There are approximately $4,000 per-
IONS in the State over sixty-five. A
little calculation will show you that
it Is a financial impossibility for the
state of Mississippi to give this large
number q pension even in cooperation
with the Federal Government. There
are now about $4,000 old people on
the old age assistance roll. In most
counties, q few more will be added
under the new program. In some
counties so many have been put on
that the average monthly grant is so
low that hardly any new names can
be added July /, for the reason that
the Federal Government is insisting
that In such counties the allowance
to those already on the payroll be in
creased considerably.
We want to repeat that this help is
not q pension going to all over sixty
five but 10 merely assistance given
to those in greatest need, who have
no income and no legally responsible
relatives able to provide them with
the necessities Of life.
