Montgomery Forced
To Make Drastic Cuts
In Welfare Grants

Despite the rising cost of living
the Montgomery County Welfare
Board has been forced to make
drastic reductions in all assistance
grants since August /.
This was disclosed yesterday by
Mrs. Dorothy Kurtz, executive Sec
retary of the County Welfare Board
in an interview over radio station
WBBC, Bethesda. She was inter-
viewed by Mrs. John H. Werner.
Comparing statements in a Star
story earlier this week, that fam
lily of four could be fed on 1888 q
week, with the amount allocated by
/ the welfare board, Mrs. Kurtz said a
family with two children, and
years old, respectively, would receive
only S10.69 in public assistance.
16 Cents Allowed Per Meal.
She said a four member family,
with two children, 9 and 13 years old,
which another article in The Star
said could be fed on $3.50 week.
would receive only $13.42 week
from the welfare board.
She pointed out that the allowance
per person per meal under the 1892
figure would be about is cents.
Mrs. Kurtz said the reduction was
put into effect because the General
Assembly at its last session appro-
priated approximately 100000 less
than requested by the State Depart
ment OF Public Welfare for the
1947-8 fiscal year.
The only way in which this con-
dition can be remedied, according
to Mrs. Kurtz, is to seek additional
funds at the coming special session
OF the Legislature.
Further Cuts Probable.
IF more money is not provided
at the special session." Mrs. Kurtz
warned. 'it seems probable that even
more drastic grant reductions will
occur in January, since the money
now available does not appear ade-
quate to carry even the present pro-
gram through the fiscal year."
Mrs. Kurtz reported there has
been steady decrease since De-
cember 1941 in the number of county
families receiving public assistance.
She said there are 365 persons now
on the welfare board rolls, as COM
pared with 841 in December 1941.

or white. Some grizzlies are
grayish yellow.
The grizzly has the reputa-
ton of being fierce. Before the
making of high-powered rifles,
he undoubtedly was a beast to
be feared, but modern firearms
have changed all this. He pre-
fers to 60 his own way, but a
wounded bear or a mother de-
Tending her cubs is a dangerous
antagonist.
AS a rule he is shy, but he
will often allow a close ap-
proach as long as the wind is
blowing from him to you, for
he depends on his nose to tell
him of danger, his hearing and
eyesight being limited. It is
never safe to prophesy just
what a grizzly will do.
The grizzly feeds on a great
variety of food. He eats guam
titles OF grass ana foOtS ana
berries. He turns over stones
and demolishes rotten logs for
ants and other insects. He is
very fond Of ground squirrels
and marmots, and occasionally
will kill livestock.
Young grizzlies can climb
trees but as they grow older
their ponderous weight and long
claws hinder them so that they
are no longer able to climb. Yet
they can run with surprising
speed when necessary.

Experienced in Reasoning.
I know from experience the type
of reasoning that-has been developed
by the bureaucrats in Agriculture.
AS applied to fish and shellfsh it
would run: Fish and shellfsh,
when gathered or caught, are crops.
Crops connote agriculture. There
fore. fish and shellfish are farm
products" According to this simple
formula, the farm boy of this gen.
Grafton would not have to go fish,
ing. Since fishing is farming and,
therefore, farming is fishing, he
would be going fishing if he worked
on the farm.
Whether statistics about fish and
shellflsh shall be collected by the
Department of Agriculture, or by
some other department, may seem
to be an unimportant question. But.
it is not unimportant to the fisher
men of America, thousands of whom
have urged that the DEPARTMENT of
the Interior retain jurisdiction over
fish and shellfish. Nor is the ques-
ton unimportant to the fish whole
salers who chip in thousands of dol
lars every year to maintain an over
priced lobbyist in Washington.

Cherry Trees Won't Blossom.
Only one thing is lacking to make
Washington the complete, perfect
city. That is the stubborn refusal
of those durn cherry trees to bios
som. They were due to blossom
around the middle of March, but
nary a blossom yet.
To a visitor, it is amazing thai
an entire city could become so en-
crossed in what bunch of trees
are going to do, and when. Those
trees must have had a great public
ity agent in the beginning Il suspect
Steve Hannagan) because they have
certainly been sold to this city.
Taxi drivers apologize for the late
blooming of the trees. Room clerks
become positively vicious about the
weather, which they think is to
blame. Newspapers defend the trees
and say it isn't their fault at all
The radio goes to bat for the trees
and says that they are doing theil
very best. I dare guess that the
first bloom will be given the key to
the city, top hat, and will be rid
den up and down Pennsylvania ave-
nue. until it willis.
The biggest mistake the Japanese
ever made was in attacking Pearl
Harbor instead of the cherry trees
The loss of those trees would have
thrown Washington into such q
turmoil that we might never have
rallied sufficiently to win a global
war.

Three Little Words" Added.
The Department OF Agriculture
long has cast covetous eyes on the
Fish and Wildlife Service and finally
it has succeeded in getting it's foot
in the crack of the door by introduc-
ing last June perfunctory bill au-
thorizing it to make agricultural
surveys, collect data and the like.
On July 26, when the Senate
Agriculture Committee was holding
an executive session with all report
ers barred, a lobbyist for the fish
wholesalers suggested the insertion
of three little words in the bill. Just
three little innocuous words. no
longer than baby minnows, defining
agricultural products so that they
would include the words fish and
shellflsh! The committe naively
agreed and reported out the bill.
Three days later it was passed by
the Senate. The next day the House
acted in like manner.
The Eightieth Congress has a
chance to rectify this error. The
Congress must appropriate funds if
it is to implement this scaly scheme
designed to take fish and shellhsh
surveys away from the Fish and
Wildlife Service and place them in
Agriculture. Moreover, it would be
saving the taxpayers money and
preventing duplication even if it
would be disturbing a lobbyists
dream. tcopyright. 1870

there within the British Empire?-
L. H.
A. There are four: Canada, the
Commonwealth of Australia, New

@. What is the difference between
post and postal cards?-L. D.
A. Postal cards, according to the
distinction made by the Post Office
Department, are those cards which
have stamps printed on them and
are sold by the Government at post
offices. Post cards are cards, usually
bearing a picture, made by private
firms.
Q. What is the story connected
with hot cross bunS?-B. c. E.
A. For centuries hot cross buns
have been a feature of Good FRIDAY
observance. The origin of the GUS
tom is traced to pagan times, when
similar cakes were offered to the
ancient gods. The buns can be
traced through the Jewish Pass
over cakes and on through the
eucharistic bread, or cross-marked
waters mentioned in st. Chrysos-
toms Liturgy. The dough for the
buns was made of the same dough
kneaded for the host, or the bread
or wafer used in the sacrament of
hoiy communion. The buns were
marked with a cross indicating
the passion of Jesus Christ and
were said to keep II months with
out turning mouldy.

A. The Pennsylvania Limited

@. What is the proper way to
hang up thermometer outdoors?
On which side of the house should it
be placed?-J. K.
A. A thermometer should be hung
on the north side of the house, in a
sheltered place, such as porch. The
hook should be long enough to keep
the thermometer an inch or two
from the wall.
@, According to Gibbons "The
Decline and Fall of the Roman En-
pre-" there was price control in
Rome under Diocletian. Is this the
earliest example in history?-M. C.
