SEEKING HELPER
Vacancy Created By Death
OF Mrs. Miller Remains
Untitled

A vacancy in the New Hanover
consolidated welfare department,
created several months ago by the
death of Mrs. Mary Nash Miller
still remains, J. R. Hollis, director
announced.
Hollis said that the shortage OF
trained personnel was the cause
FOR the offices not having a child
welfare worker to fill the vacancy.
He explained that federal and
state agencies able to offer more
attractive prices to the potential
workers, have caused numerous
hardships on the welfare depart
ment. the latter being handi-
capped in that it cannot meet the
competitive wage scale Of the
state and national agencies.
$50 far as / can see now there
is not a worker in sight to fill the
job" Hollis said.
It was reported several days
ago that help was forthcoming in
a young lady from High Point. but
later Hollis said that it would be
impossible to get this help.

Beween 800 and 1000 World War
II veterans in North Carolina have
received or will get artificial limbs
from approved prosthetic manu-.
f~acturers at government expense,
the Veterans Administration vii.
mington office disclosed yesterday.
DR.. A. J. Weirick, chief medical
officer of the regional VA office.
has announced that when a vet
eran applies for an artificial limb,
he is provided with a list q all
approved manufa cturers under con-
tract with the North Carolina VA
region.
Each veteran is offered counsel
and guidance in the selection OF
his artificial limb, and three trips
at VA expenses will be authorized
by VA if required before a com.
pleted limb can be furnished a
veteran. However, if a veteran
lives in a city where the chosen
limb manufacturer is located, no
travel will be allowed. DR.. Weirick
said.
Measurements for new limbs can
be made at the limb manufacturers
shop, a VA field station, or the vet.
Grams home-whichever is deemed
more practical-but actual fittings
must be accomplished by the manu-
facturer.
The only exception will be made
in cases of amputee veterans whose
physical condition prohibits travel,
the chief medical officer explain
ed, in which event fittings will be
handled by the VA center nearest
to the veterans.
Prosthetlc cards which were is
sued by VA to all amputee veterans

pairs and adjustments costing no
more than $35 without prior VA
approval, DR.. Weirick said.

Problems arising from delays
in filing for Social Security claims
were outlined here this week by
Franklin M. Barnes, assistant re-
gional representative of region
four, during his visit here to the
local office.
During his stay loss of benefits in
this area was discussed with N. A.
Avera, local manager.
Coincidentally, a widow whose
husband died in 1910 visited the
office on Monday for the first time
to inform the office of her hus-
bands death.
It is, therefore, obvious that she
could have lost benefits since Feb
ruary Is, 1910, which is the date
her husband died, a local official
pointed out. If she were only en-
titled to a minimum amount OF
benefits she would have lost $1,000
for herself and one child: or, she
could have lost the maximum
amount of 81, 10000 as she filed
her claim in January of 1947 which
carries a three months retroactive
filing date.
Barnes further stressed the i'm
portance of anyone who had lost

Another very important factor
pointed out by Barnes is that it

This would also apply to lawyers,
doctors or other people who would
