First Report Made
on March of Dimes

Club, $500; Mrs. w. F. Skyles, $40
90; Mr.. and Mrs. Lowell LOOMS,

% and continuing through to Feb
ruary 3, collections will be taken at

Theatre in Oakland. The Business and
Professional Women's Club members,

B. |. Gender, manager of the theatre,
announces that a trailer entitled 'The
Miracle of Hickory" will be shown
Since Garrett County is essentially
a rural area, DR.. f. |. Baumgartncr
chairman of the local chapter, made
the following statement: "The Grip
pier, infantile paralysis, visits the
lonely farmhouse as we'll as the city
tenement and the town home. This
was proved again last year when
America experienced the second worst
epidemic of infantiIe paralysis re-
corded in its history. Polio invaded
the farms of rich and poor, strong
and weak alike, and was no respecter
of age or race. In the states where
the worst outbreaks occurred many
Of the victims were farm children
But in every stricken state, swift aid
was available because through the
March of Dimes funds were on hand
to be converted into emergency aid.
These funds made it possible for every
victim to receive medical care, proper
nursing and treatment. No one can
predict where polio will strike in 1915
1t may be in Garrett County. Prepare
to keep America strong-join the APP
peal with your dimes and dollars.'

Welfare Board Spent
$1,000 in December
OF this Sum S3,5sS.96 is Charge
able To County Funds, Exec
utive Secretary Points Out

The Garrett County Welfare Board
spent total of $l6,990.48 on public
assistance during the month of De
cember, 1914, it was announced by
Francis Connolly, executive secretary
and $3,58S96 of this amount is
chargeable to county funds. he said
The balance of $13,401 so is charge
able to State and Federal funds.
The totals spent in December fol
each type of assistance is slightly be-
low November except in the General
Public Assistance category. The latter
amount was 1928 greater than in No
vember. The reason for the increase
in this category is eXplainable be-
cause of severe weather conditions
which in some cases brought about
illness of the wage Garner, Mr.. Con-
molly said.
The breakdown of expenditures by
case and category is as follows: Old
Age Assistance, 90 individuals, ST.
26614; Aid to Dependent Children
80 children, $4,233.7S; Public Assis-
tancc to the Needy Blind, individu-
ais. $lS4.O7; General Public Assis-
lance, 1928, SO ,2O2.46; Boarding Home
Care, 20, $359.46; Administration
$1,747.57.
Mr.. Connolly said the Welfare
Board was urging attention of two
bills introduced into the State Legis-
laturc. He declared both these bills
would, if passed, ultimately mean re-
ducton in general public assistance
costs to the county.
He explained the two bills as fol
lows:
The first House bill, IS, would re-
move from State Law the present
maximum grant allowable in Aid tc
Dependent Children category. AT
present, because of maXimums set by
law, it is necessary to meet much OF
the actual needs of some families
II OIH NtilCl di / uDlII ASSISTANCE
to which the Federal Government
makes no contribution. The county is
required to pay so percent of General
Public Assistance Consequently if
the maXimums are removed, the coun-
tvs share would be decreased con.
siderably.
The other bill, Senate bill, II, would
reduce the residence requirements for
Old Age Assistance from five years
out of nine in the State to one year
AS it now is, if an individual past 65
years lives here one year he is not
eligible for Old Age Assistance but
can qualify for General Public Assis-
lance This in reality means the coun-
ty pays so percent of his assistance
whereas if the new bill is approved
the cost to the county would be but
10 l/3 percent.
