Correction

In article appearing in last
weeks Chronicle, WV Post Com
mander Paul J. Duphily praised
the Milford High School Manuel
training classes for helping repair
toys for distribution at annual
RFW Kiddies' Christmas Party
Actually it was the Milford
Schools Agriculture classes. under
direction Of Mr.. A. c. Davidson
who did the toy repairing and Com
mander Duphily has asked the
Chronicle to run this correction to
insure the Agriculture students
receiving fun credit for the splen-
did job done in repairing toys. The

Welfare Need Is
Seen At $228,25O
(COntInued ron nae onel

(COntinued from page One)
The increase in costs. because
OF higher caseload, is particular
ly acute in the general assistance
or outside relief-program. Here
the department put out S156.611 in
the first five months of the current
fiscal year, as contrasted with only
$9128S in the same period last
year. And the unexpended balance
in the state appropriation for gen
eral assistance is only S33,389-an
amount which may be used up this
month.
1t is likely that supplementary
funds will be needed not only for
general assistance, but also for the
aid to depedent children program,
and for direct care Of children in
foster homes. 1t is expected at pres
ent that the aid to dependent chill
dren program will be short S15,75O
in state funds by the end of the
fiscal year, and that foster home
care will cost $22,500 more than is
available.
Meanwhile, the caseload picture
was somewhat brighter than had
been expected, figures for last
month showed. Small decreases oc-
CURED in caselOads of two public
assistance programs and the in
crease in the other two were slight.
16-Case Decrease
There was a decrease of IS
cases-tO 1,689-in the old age as
sistance program And for the first
time since July the aid to depen-
dent children programs caselOad
showed a decrease. 1t amounted
to IS cases and brought the total to
957 cases, involving $3.50 persons,
including 1883 children.
The aid to the disabled program
increased by six cases during the
month, to a total Of 1872. Cases are
gradually being transferred to this
program where possible to take
advantage Of matching federal
funds.
In the general assistance pro-
gram, the November caseload in
creased only IA cases to a total Of
1,138 cases, involving 2,5O4 persons.
The child welfare services pro-
gram showed a decrease of II chill
dren served in November as com
pared with the previous month. Al
total Of 1,014 children were aided
in all services, including 552 in
foster homes.
