GENERAL RELIEF
 CUT 60 PERCENT
 SAYS MAYNARD
Insufficient Funds Cause for Action by Dept. of
 Public Welfare

District Workers of the Depart ment Of Public Welfare were ad- vised September l by Director Rus sell C. Maynard that greatly re- stricted policies governing the issu- ance of General Relief were to be imposed for the balance of the Territorial Biennium ending March 3l, 1947
 The local Social Worker for the Department, Miss Hazel M. Forde, was advised by the Office of the Director that allotments for Gen eral Relief had been cut by 60 percent because of insufficient funds to meet continuing high de- mands for relief.
 The Directors statement also placed in effect the restriction that mo new cases of relief could be approved except to save life" and that continuing cases could receive tut the barest necessities. The Direc- tor of the Department also announc- ed that all hopitals and the medical profession had agreed to provide such services on a credit basis until the Legislature meets early in 1947
 Causes of the restricted policies were explained by MT. Maynard as being a combination of greatly in- creased number of cases during the past year and a half, coupled with the failure of the 1945 regular ses- sion and the 1946 special session of the Legislature to provide neces- sary funds to meet the anticipated demands.
 Legislature Cuts Funds
 The Department of Public Vel fare. according to MT. Maynard, had anticipated increased demands together with increased costs of services when it requested from the l945 Legislature an appropria- tion Of S40000O to meet the re- quirements of the Program The Legislature, after being fully ad- vised Of the needs for the appro- priation, appropriated the sum of S3G0,000 a decrease of 25 percent in the estimated funds necessary tc meet the demands, he said.
 Nil Maynard's statement also re- vealed that the Special Session of the Legislature in 1946 had been requested to make supplemental appropriation in order to meet the then existent increased demands for relief, but failed to provide any additional funds.
 More than two-thirds of the total appropriation had been expended, said MT Maynard for hospitaliza- tion and medical relief. It is not possible, the Director stated, to es- timate the length of time such service will be required It was foreseeable, he said, that an in- crease of such requests for service would take place during l945 and l946 and on that basis the approv- ed budget for the program was sub- mitted to the Legislature.
 Approval of the restricted policies placed in effect September l, it was stated, was granted by the Board of Public Welfare following receipt of information by the Board from the Directors Office that cash funds were insufficient to meet the continuing needs throughout the Territory.

Great Lakes Raider
DURING the Civil war David II.
Ross, an 18-year-old cadet in
the Georgia guards, was captured
and sent to Union prison camp on
Lake Erie. He escaped and made
his way to Canada, reporting to
Capt. John Yeates Beall, a Confed-
crate agent.
Ross joined Beall in a plan to
take possession of the Philo Par
sons, a lake steamer, and with it
capture the Michigan, a Union war
ship, use that to attack Ft. Johnson
at Sandusky and release 1000 Con-
federates there.
On the morning of September 10,
1864, the Philo Parsons stopped at
Sandwich, Ont, to take on a party
of 20 men. At Maiden, few miles
farther, 20 more came aboard. After
several more stops, the crew and
the other passengers found them
selves looking into the muzzles of
pistols.
The captain relinquished COM
mand and Beall took over with Ross
as first mate. And then the Island
Queen with ITO Federal soldiers
aboard, pulled alongside. No one
knows why the soldiers permitted
it, but after firing a few shots, Beall
and Ross leaped aboard with a few
men and captured her, too.
They sailed on with their ITO I'm
ion soldiers in tow, but the Michigan
commander was ready for them.
Seeing the ship coming toward
them, the Philo Parsons turned
about and fled into the Detroit river
where the raiders escaped.
Ross managed to get to Whining
ton, N. C., where he was made a
captain in the secret service. Gen
eral Grant pardoned him.
