Monthly Assistance Checks
GO To rs Horny countians
BY JOHN ii. FRANK. JR.
Directory, Horny County
Welfare Department

These immortal words from
the opening verse of our nation
al anthem cause Americans to
rise and stand reverently at sill
ent attention, whenever they are
heard. The vision of "Old Glory"
fluttering in the breeze thrills
tire heart of all of us, from
childhood to golden years.
Have you ever wondered how
"a sightleSS person feels about
the flag, or about a beautiful
sunset, a breath-taking panora-
mic view, or about a pretty
dress, 4 clean house, or an at
tractively set dinner table?
Loss of sight or absence of
sight from birth affects people
in many different ways. Among
the sightleSs you will find Helen
Kollcrs and also the bitter, dis
person. Nor is blind
ness any respector of wealth.
However, it is the person with
very little or no financial re-
sources with whom we are pri-
marily concerned here.
Forty-five persons in Horny
County are receiving monthly
assistance checks because of
blindness. One third of this
group also has a spouse who de-
ponds on this income for most
or all of his or her support. The
average monthly payment to
these As recipients is about S31.
The law permits them TO earn
as much as $50 month in addi-
ton to their assistance check
but we know of none who are
fortunate enough to do so.
Within the State Department
of Public Welfare, there is {
Division for the Blind, whose
primary purposes are proven

|EIkins Sees
Standards Up
At Maryland

BALTIMORE. Jan. II R.-
Higher academic standards are
in sight for University Of Mary
land students in the latter part
of 1856. according to the uni
yersity president. DR.. Wilson H.
Elkins.
DR.. Elkins told the Baltimore
section of the National Council
of Jewish Women yesterday that
the matter Of more stringent
standards is being studied by q
faculty committee.
He indicated the emphasis
would be on higher standards
after admission rather than on
tighter entrance requirements.
We should insure that the in
dividual who stays at the uni
yersity is one who will contribute
to the society which has helped
supply the means for his educa-
Ition." said DR.. Elkins.
DR.. Elkins also remarked that
"our salaries must be greater
than others are willing to offer.
II high-caliber faculty Is to be
maintained.
He pointed out in answer to q
question that Princeton Uniyer-
Isity had earmarked its entire
Ford Foundation grant for salary
increases.
If we are to maintain oui
lstaff. 1t viii be absolutely neces-
sary for Maryland TO increast
salaries in somewhat the same
manner" he said.
The boosting of professional
salaries is the province Of the
State Legislature.

a protest from the four-member
Wood Manor Co., building 3S
homes on the nine acres, could
delay annexation. Their sue
cessful protest considered as

would put the matter up to a

Two Individual Protests
The proposal drew only two
protests - one from a future
homeowner on the nine acres
and another from nearby
Adelphi resident.

Scout Recovering From Week Lost On Mt. Rainier

SEATTLE, R-Snatched from almost certain death after a week in mountain wilderness, plucky Richard Mizuhata, 13, rested in a hospital today and his main con- cern was catching up on the meals and the comics he missed in his lonely wanderings.
 Doctors said Richard, Japan ese-American Boy Scout, was showing an amazing comeback" from his seven days and six nights with little food or water on the slopes of Mount Rainier, 50 miles southeast of here.
 The search for Richard started a week ago yesterday after the boy wandered away from a group of Scouts who were hiking down a trail in the rugged Carbon River section of Mount Rainier National Park.
 Weak from hunger and almost helpless, he was found Saturday by Paul Uno, 36, a Seattle mail carrier and one of small army of volunteers who answered the call of park rangers for assistance.
 The boy had lost his sleeping bag in his wanderings. He had had only few candy bars to eat and had drunk very little water.

 President Nasser is expected to agree to meet with Australian Prime Minister Robert G. Men zies' five-nation committee, se- lected last week by the London Suez conference to present an 18- nation plan for international con- trol.
 Usually reliable sources said they understood Nasser will agree to meet the committee in Cairo with the proviso that Egypt is not obligated to accept the plan.
 Menzies stood by in London, awaiting the reply. The message had been expected today, since sources in Cairo said it was trans mitted to the Egyptian embassy yesterday.
 Egypt's reply was framed after Nasser had a special meeting with his cabinet yesterday.

HUGE OIL CUSTER IN IRAN FLOODS NEARBY FIELDS

 The state-owned National Iran ian Oil Go. called in British and American experts to help control the well throwing 80,000 barrels of oil day into the air near Gum, about 80 miles south of the capi- tai.
 Troops and police patrolled the oil-covered meadows along the main highway linking Tehran with the Persian Gulf. Their main task was to enforce precautions against fire. Rope-soled shoes were issued to soldiers and tech nicians.
 Oilmen hoped to cap the well in about a fortnight and stop the loss, but the task may take longer.

 Not Interested in Political Shows

 The survey was made by Sind finger & Co.,, of Philadelphia, which reported it polled 1000 set owners daily, altogether cross sectioning watchers in 238 coun- ties from coast to coast.
 These were some of the find ings:
 The politicians were watched by an average 33 million view CTS, compared to 54 million drawn by peak commercial shows. One evening, only one-quarter of the nations sets were turned on. Films and sports events frequent ly outdrew the conventions in communities where non-network shows were on the air. And radio listening jumped to a 10-year high as fans sought musical relief from oratory.
