Crits and Gravel
(By. T. MOSES JONEs.)

Mrs. Viola Jones of Wilmington, is
warden of the Rebekah State Assem-
bly,, and has been an active worker
for a number of years. She is the wife
of Wilbur d. Jones of the Cape Fear
Lodge No. of Wilmington, who as
grand master, presided over the State
grand lodge two years ago at Green's
boro. 1t was my great pleasure to see
the grand lodge close its session at
that time and invite the Rebekah AS
sembly in the hall. Mr.. Jones was pre-
sented a past grand masters jewel
of the order and Mrs. Jones was at
the same time presented a Rebekah
emblem, as tokens of their outstand-
ing work.
The other is the picture of Mrs. Les
sic f. Watson, of Winston-Salem. She
is the wife of Grand Master r. D
Watson, who will preside over this.
the ninety-fifth session of the Grand
Lodge l. o. o. F. of North Carolina
at Oxford, May 15-16-17. While at the
same time Mrs. Watson will play the
important role of chaplain in the Re-
!ekah State Assembly.
Mrs. Watson formerly served as
noble grand of the Evangeline Re-
bekah Lodge No. 81 at Winston-Salem,
so is now past grand of that lodge.
She has been district deputy presi-
dent of the fourth Rebekah district
for the past ten years, besides having
been an ardent worker in her lodge
several years prior to that time.
Speaking of the convention at
Greensboro when Brother w. E. War

tell this tale that he told on me when
we returned home We went into one
of the beautiful lunching places there
where a very pretty young lady wait
ed on our table She saw our badges
and asked what they meant. I told
her that were were attending the
ninety-third session of our Grand
Lodge. And this is what he tells on
me, "And then she asked Moses if he
had attended all the other sessions"
I wonder how many of the Hender-

of "fish muddle." They said it was

The opposition is coming from the
partisans of North Cardinals senior
senator, Josiah w. Bailey, who oppos-

amend and liberalize the existing bills.
Whether or not the fight will get

politicians who hate squabbles over

most in toto of this same sort of prac
teal politicians who are all solicitude
for the feelings of our politicians,
even if they do not always agree with
the views of these others.
Hence, it is entirely possible, even
probable, that there will be no floor

of any platform plank highly obnox-

OLD AGE PENSIONS

In the Sir Walter Hotel,

Raleigh, May 1O-Assignment OF
portion of the burden of providing old
age assistance to the counties is lar
gely responsible for the fact that
North Cardinals list of those above
65 receiving this aid will not go be-
yond 10000 by July, end of the fisca!
year, Nathan Yelton, in charge of adj
ministration of the old age assistance
and aid to dependent children in the
State, said today.
This $1,000 is likely to be the maxi
mum number of those to receive as
sistance, he said, as it is the policy Of
the administrative authorities to hold
down the list in order that those who
are getting assistance may get enough
each month to be of some real benefit
to them
"If we increase. the number on tho
list until each gets practically moth
ing at all per month, then nothing con-
structive has been accomplished M.
Yelton said.
In April the average monthly OLD
age assistance check was S9.42 for
each of the approximately $4,000 who
received them
The number receiving assistance
and the amount each is getting run
Just about according to estimates
made when the program was set up.
It was estimated that the average
monthly assistance check would be
about $40, and it is Mr. Yeltons aim
not to let it fall far Glow that figure.
He said that county officials and
welfare boards have been cooperating
well in the program and there has
been almost no padding" of the as
sistance LIST. This he attributes lar
gely to the fact that the counties pay
one-fourth of the total cost of the pro-
gram, with another quarter coming
from the State and a half from the
Federal government.
Already counties have begun to ask
for increases in their lists for 193S-4O,
however For example, the Mecklen-
burg county board came over in
body recently and asked that their
county be allotted approximately 200
more old age assistance and $50 aid
to dependent children beneficiaries.
