Winnie looked at Sherbert in some disuuiet:
he hadn't expected their clients to exhibit so
profound an emotional reaction. Happily,
though, subsequent speeders conducted them
selves with more restraint at receiving their
warning BY lunch time he and Sherbert had
snatched six brands from the burning besides
Doc Martin - Mr.. Hannah, who published
the Sumac 'Clarion," rich old Mrs Cleffen-
bottle. Joe's taxicab, and others not so
familiar. The afternoon was devoted to the
painful task of business correspondence
SUCH was the pattern of hilarious week -
half the day concerned with samaritanism,
the other half with capitalism. Even Sherbert's
big sister, after preliminary pretense at
being shocked, broke down in filters and
co-operated nobly. BY Thursday, the early
returns began to pour in, ranging from a dime
and witty note, up to-a ten-dollar bill from
Mrs. Cleffenbottle.
Paradoxically, uneasy was now the word
for Winnie, because of the unexpected size
of his profits. His dream life had never
envisioned financial success on such a scale,
nor with such ease, and the wind of doubt
began to stir. Recent political PHILOSOPHERS
seemed to teach that big profit was evil.
Other straws rode this dark breeze, though
whether they indicated good or i'll for Com

I've been trying to sell him on using Sumac

about small town state of mind being I'm

very cordial Said he'd revised his opinion
of the town; there were definite signs of enter

residents. Then he gave me that sly, more

In addition [ to the waiting list, the department reported, 57 cases are currently under investigation as to eligibility. Many cases which received sup plementation from General Relief funds to assist in the care provided for children, will no longer receive such additional assistance under orders of the Board of Public Well fare which restricted all General Re- lief funds because of the inadequate amount provided by the Legisla- ture," Maynard stated Such funds can only be used to provide emer- gency medical care or disqualification to recipients of other programs in order to save life" he said.

The department must pay as high as $50 per month in some cases for the care of de- pendent child in a foster home. With program funds much less than is necessary to meet Territorial de- mands, hardships will be felt by all needy individuals because of the re- stricted policies made necessary in order to stay within the inadequate appropriations made by the Leg islature"

 AsSERTS MAYNARD
Restricted Policies on Grants 10 Families by
 Dept. Public Welfare

The Department of Public Welfare today announced through state ment issued by Director R. G. May nard. the effect of restricted policies on grants to families for Aid to De- pendent Children,
 Due to the smallness of the Ter ritorial appropriation, the Board of Public Welfare ordered that grants for Aid to Dependent Children be made to meet only requirements of fcod. shelter. fuel, and clothing, and that percentage discount be ap- piled on each grant in order that monthly disbursements would not exceed the average monthly amount available" said Maynard
 During the past month, the en- tire case load. numbering 268, has been reviewed in line with the new policies and the total amount to be expended for June has been reduced by 30 per cent" Maynard stated. Each individual case has received reduction of g per cent discount after the amount of the grant has been determined in accordance with the new definition of need his statement revealed. This means that a woman with one child form erly receiving $25 per month aid, will, commencing June l, receive only S20 per month. Where the amount is over an even dollar, the grant is made in the amount of the next even dollar.
 Under the restricted policies B cases involving A children were closed and 16 cases involving 3l children accepted There were 569 children receiving aid for the month of May. The number for June amounts to 560. The number of cases was reduced from 239 to 232.
 "The average grant per child for May was $1853, and because of in- adequate Territorial funds, the grant per child for June will be only $l3.l9, a reduction of 29 per cent"
 Maynard reported that the total amount per month expended prior to June was $10,524, the amount for June $7,337. "Of this amount the Federal Government. under the terms of the Social Security Act, participates to the extent of 59 per cent. Prior to June. Federal par ticipation was 55.5 per cent. The maximum Territorial funds avail able for expenditure monthly amounts to $2,975," he stated. The report added that IT new cases de- termined to be eligible had been placed on the waiting list.

"The pattern of life in our

The growth of Seattle as a me-
tropolitan center, and the conse
quent development of new social
problems, are spotlighted in "Serv-
ing a New Seattle" the 1946-47
annual report of the Council of
Social Agencies and King County,
released this week by Mrs. Robert
M. Jones, outgoing Council chair
man.
The report focuses on new and
continuing social problems, and in
dicates what the Council and its
100 member agencies are doing to
meet the welfare and health needs
of the community. Among the cur
rent issues discussed are the 40
per cent increase in King County's
population since 1910; the upward
swing in the birthrate, and the &C
companying rise in illegitimacy; the
tension and emotional disorders n

ditions; the special needs of elder
ly people. and the results of recent
State legislation concerning public
assistance.
A major point in the report is
the statement that the total So
cial welfare is bound up with the
health of our citizens. Yet Sc
attle's pattern of health services Is
spotty. 1t cries for joint planning
exchange of information, coordina-
ton of efforts"
To meet this need, the report
discloses, agencies in the field Of
health services haev been meet
ing regularly under the auspices OF
the Councils Health Division. For
