Relief Increased

The increase in the agency's case
load of rs per cent is compiled
from a 55 per cent increase in the
number of cases-and a 100 per
cent increase in the number of per-
sons-handled by the relief depart
ment last year. A total of $685.
904.99 was distributed for relief in
the three counties of Delaware dur
ing the year, which according to
the report "is 1O6 per cent in ex-
cess of the amount distributed in
the previous fiscal year."
Unemployed Grow
The relief department analysis
of this expenditure shows that in
the last six months covered by the
report there was steady increase
in the number of unemployables on
the agency's case load. This in
crease, from 511 in December of
1916 to 683 in June 1947, is jump
of 33 per cent in six months.

FEAR MORE JOBLESS

An increase of approximately rs
per cent in the case load of the Old
Age Welfare Commissions relief
department during the fiscal year
which ended June 80, was disclosed
in the commissions annual report.
This increase, coupled with rising
living costs, boosted the average
relief distribution cost per case
from $27.06 in the 1945-46 period
to S35.67 in the year just ended,
the report revealed.

There is no adequate military
protection against the atomic
bomb in existence today. Many
of the new war weapons can pro-
duce havoc and mass death in the
very heart Of areas bristling with
the best military equipment
science can provide. The best-the
only--defense today lies in our
power to strike back fast and
terribly if any enemy should
attack.
At my final press conference
before / left the War Department
late in July, / was asked to name
the greatest hurdle we had had to
overcome in order to win World
War Two. That was an easy one.
l said the biggest hurdle had been
getting the American people out
of a business-as-usual attitude.
1t is just as important that we
overcome business-as-usual de-
fense attitude in postwar 1947 as
it was during World War Two.
If we don't World War Three

Many on Retired List

This can perhaps be attributed
largely to retired persons who,
having returned to industry during
the war were not able to continue
for reasons of health or having
been replaced by younger persons;
also resources acquired during the
period of employment by either or
both the incumbent or supporting
relatives have become exhausted,
the report explained. The analysis
noted as particularly outstanding
the increase in the number of chill
dren involved in the case load
from jump of 220 per cent in
New Castle County, to SO per cent
in Kent and 1876 per cent in Sussex
County, over the previous fiscal
period.

More Jobless Feared

''It is to be hoped that we will
not have a period wherein increas-
ed unemployment would add to our
burden since the situation as at
present would indicate that our
cash requirements over the next
year will be substantially more
than has been anticipated by either
the counties or the state" the an
alysis pointed out. During the
year there were 692 applications
for assistance received, of which
464 were accepted. A total of 1888
cases were closed for vraious rea-
sons. Illustrating the great in
creases in living costs over the
past fiscal year, the analysis re-
ported that food costs increased
121 per cent; clothing costs 275 per
cent, attributed to three factors,
the "carry over clothing used in
1916, the rapid breakdown of poor
quality clothing bought in 1916,
and the increases in the number of
persons especially children during
the year ended June 80; fuel costs
increased 118 per cent; medicine,
1O3 per cent; board, rs per cent;
rent, 100 per cent; milk, 158 per
cent; cash relief, 1S per cent; mis-
cellaneous relief, 85 per cent.

Proportions of Relief

In the fiscal year covered by the
report relief expense was in the
following proportions: Food, 6s per
cent; board, 1873 per centffi rent,
12.4 per cent; cash relief, As per
cnet; miscellaneous, 1.3 per cent.
"Since food alone constitutes more
than one-half of the relief burden,
and since it would appear that a
reduction in wood costs as well as
other costs of living is not predict
ed for the near future; an increase
in our case cost may probably be
anticipated with the coming of the
winter months.

At Home On The
Farm With
TheCity Cousin

ct is no wonder, Magruder,
that Dan Boone blazed a trail out
of North Carolina" l says to my
neighbor the other evening when
l was working on my garden and
he was leanin' on his clothes line
pole, helping me.
IF he ever stuck hoe in this
soil figure I might have to
blast to get my beans in!'
"Now, Cousin says Magruder,
don't go gettin' excited cause
you can't raise vegetables in that
basement dirt"
1 told him I didn't mean to
knock agriculture in the Tar Heel
State, but it did look like the soil
behind my house was pretty poor.
IF the soils so poor" he says,
chow do you think tn farmers
got more than nine million bush
els of potatoes to grow last year?
by setting them out with a
pneumatic drill? And how about
those tomatoes-they don't grow
on trees! And besides, it takes
a hundred years to add one inch
of top soil on one acre. Don't
get in any hurry!"
Then he jumped on to me prop
erly, citing figures right and left
till bushels and tons of lima
beans, snaps, carrots, and a doz-
en- other truck crops swan be-
fore my eyes.
Il guess you don't know, Cous-
in, that this state averages around
six hundred million dollar crop
out of the ground every year
from eleven principal items, do
you? Well, it's a fact!'
When 1 asked him how he knew
so much about North Carolina
agriculture when he worked in
an office all day, same as 1 do,
he explained that he worked with
the State College Extension Serv-
ice where he dealt in crop sta
tistics.
Looks like I'll have to get a
little better acquainted with my
neighbors-and my native soil.
