ONE IN Is GET
PUBLIC AID IN
NORTH CAROLINA

One in every Is persons in North
Carolina received direct help of a
non-financial nature last year from
the county public welfare depart
ments.
Approximately half of all the
people aided by county depart
ments received only non-financial
services.
These and other facts came to
light recently as the State Board
of Public Welfare made a special
study of the types of non-financial
services being given to citizens in
the State.
Well over 100000 people in
$4,000 families received non-finan-
cial services without any financial
aid during the year. This is in
addition to the 100000 cases, in
Guiding about 10000 individuals
who received old age assistance,
aid to dependent children, aid to
the permanently and totally dis
abled, general assistance, and other
financial assistance during the
year.
People come to the public well
fare departments to ask for help
with many different kinds of prob
lens. Through the special skills of
the public welfare workers, assist
anee is given wherever possible or
helpful referrals made to other
agencies which can be of service.
Many of the families needed
specialized service from the de-
partment of public welfare for
short time only. Nearly 90 per
cent received such service for less
than one month. The average
length of time the service was
given was little less than three
months.
Over 35 per cent of the families
received services for children.
These services included placement
for adoption, placement in foster
home or institution, medical and
health care service, crippled chill
dren service, help with behavior
problems, etc.
Other services given included
families that received services in
connection with support payments
for children, and services involved
in finding, licensing, and super
vising foster boarding homes for
children.
Still other phases of the nom
financial services to people in
every walk of life throughout
North Carolina last year by the
county welfare departments in
cluded: investigation of families
applying for adoption; making
available health care and medical
care and disqualification; services
in connection with domestic rela-
tions problems; adult parole super
vision; and many others.

All FOREST FIRES BURNED
OVER 16,1OS ACRES IN MAY

Atlanta, Ga. Especially A forest
fire survey conducted by the South
ern Pulpwood Conservation Asso-
citation shows that North Carolina
experienced Alt fires which burned
over 16,108 acres, mostly forest
land, during May.
Nine southern states and Region
Eight, U. S. Forest Service, which
was polled reported total of 1926
forest fires, burning over 10000
acres during May.
The majority of states included
in the southern survey compliment
ed the fishermen in their areas for
their efforts in preventing fires.
1t was pointed out that many
anglers camp on lake or river
banks, inaccessible except by wa
ter. In building their camp fires
the experienced woodsmen do so
only in cleared areas, away from
all dry vegetation. When extin-
gushing their camp fires, fisher
men use water and dirt to make
sure they leave no live Goals after
breaking camp.
Fl. J. Malsberger, forester and
general manager of the Southern
Puplwoed Conservation Associa-
ton, said, "Many forest fires have
been prevented just because some
camper took the effort to make
sure he put out his camp fire be-
fore leaving"
Game and fish commission Off
Gals explain that fires not only
destroy wildlife but silt in streams,
killing organisms and plant life
that fish use as food.
