HIGHER FEBRUARY PAYMENTS in STORE
FOR RECIPIENTS OF AGED PENSIONS

/ and approximately one-third OF
all recipients were getting S45
or more.
Most recipients participating in
! the Ohio program are receiving
more than the S42 average award
since the total state case-load
includes thousands of cases in
volving small grants in which
| the State Division of Aid for the
Aged supplements other forms
of public aid and personal in
come which are insufficient for
recipients. These supplementary
grants, Mr.. Babb pointed out, pull
the true average down.
Only New York Higher
Figures supplied by the U. S.
that Ohio was the second highest
Social Security Board showed
among all eastern and central
states in the country in average
payments to its needy aged.
Only New York had higher
average payment while Ohio sur
passed other of the more popu-
Ious states such as Pennsylvania,
Illinois, and Michigan in average
payments.
With the new increases, the
average payment during Feb
ruary viii represent an 50 per
cent jump compared with pay
ments made during August, 1899,
month before European hostilities
broke out and leading 70 the
wartime economy cycle.
While average" payments to
Ohio's needy aged increased IS
percent during this period, ac-
cording to figures of the u. S.
Department of Labor Statistics,
cost of living jumped about 81
percent for the same period, Mr..
Babb pointed out.
First Checks In Mail
Although Ohio law permits a
maximum payment of $50 a
month, the Federal Government
which also shares financially in
the program participates only UP
to S45, all additional amounts
over that being borne alone by
the state. Mr. Babb estimated that
the state pays about Sl90,000 a
month to cover this cost.
The total monthly payment OF
more than S5,000,000 with an
average grant of about S42 for
this month win pass the al1-time
records set last month when
S4, ,970,539 or an average of S40.46
was paid out.
Mialed out alphabetically by
counties, the first of the February
checks went into the mail Feb.
4. Last of the February payments
win be made around the 28th
of the month.

AKRON, OHIO.-The chances that
a city dweller will ever get to see
mule sin person" are rapidly
diminishing.
B. F. Goodrich company reports
that in 1891 one out of six urbanites
could expect at some time during
his lifetime to come across real"
mule. But today, the firm said,
only one out of II can look forward
TO the same experience.
The company based its findings on
reports of mule and human popula-
tions" and the travel habits of city
people. More persons are driving
out to the country" it noted. but
when they get there, they are more
likely to see rubber-tired tractors
than a mule. In fact, there are now
less than one-half as many mules
and horses as there were in 1921 and
IL times as many tractors.
