blended into a great American cul-

Who can say that Negroes do
not represent a special problem:
The history of the Negro people
has not been depicted correctly,
not by our school books, not by our
radio. not by our movies. not by

Create. Now Than
Similar As Periods.

- TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Oct. "a
FNS).-The amount of money
paid out by the state for Old
Age Assistance, Aid to the Blind
) and Aid to Dependent Children
is running in excess of that for
: like periods in 1916, according to
a statement made by w. c. Hoff-
. nah, chief auditor of the State
Welfare Division of the office of
c. M. Gay, state comptroller.
Hoffman explained that while
his department issues the month
~ checks for assistance under
the State Welfare Department,
his office has nothing to do with
the field work of the State We'll
; fare Board. The auditing office
is charged only with auditing,
issuing checks and mailing them
in conformity with official GER
tifications received from the
State Welfare Board, and to hold
disbursements within the bud
geted releases.
Hoffman said that when it is
realized that this branch of the
.comptrolfer's office audits each
individual welfare recipients
account, item for item, and keeps
a permanent record of each
transaction of these disburse-
ments, the vast amount of work
which the Is employees perform
can be. appreciated more fully.
In addition to the above, hun
dreds Of letters are received
monthly from those on the as
sistance rolls and from other
sources seeking information and
help relative to the welfare pro-
gram. In every case where pos
sible these letters are answered
within twelve hours or referred
to a proper department from
which correct information can
be secured, if the subject matter
is of a nature not coming under
the jurisdiction of the comptrol-
Ter.
