Fish And WiIdIife To Be
Theme OF April Scout Deeds

COLUMBUS, OHIO - Fish and
Wildlife Conservation is the April
Program theme for the Boy Scouts
of America. During this month Boy
Scouts Throughout America are
urged to take part in improving
our land for wildlife and for man.
This observance is special rec
ognition by this fine youth organi-
zation of the Importance of fish
and wildlife in our lives today.
These renewable resources are val
liable for many reasons.
Live animals are popular sub
jects that attract immediate public
attention. Fish and wildlife are
important in focusing public at
tention on the need for conserva-
tion of all natural resources. Wild
life is the attention catcher which
helps to promote sound manage
ment of all basic resources, and is
especially important for this rea-
son.
Fish and wildlife are important
in providing the opportunity for
relaxation in a tense modern So
ciety. The value of this type Of
therapy in keeping man fit and
motivated in this troubled world
is seldom fully realized, and its
value will increase as our lives be-
come more complex. More wildlife
means a better, more pleasant
land.
Working in conservation is valu-
able training for Boy Scouts. 1t
teaches them the Importance of re-
source management in modern
times, and it teaches an apprecia-
tion of the outdoors.
Hayden w. Olds, Chief of the
Division of Wildlife, expressed the
hope that Boy Scouts in every
Ohio community will contribute to
sound wish and wildlife conserva-
tion by taking part in this essen
tial program during April.

Tillett pointed out.
A comparison with expenditures
for the administration of the de-
partment of public welfare in pre-
vious years shows that there has
been less than a 20 percent in
crease in county funds over the
past four years. This has been des-
pite the sharp upswing in the child
population and the higher costs of
most items included in welfare
administration.
County money set up in the
1888 administrative budget of
the public welfare department. of
Dare County is $9,777. This is ex-
actly the same amount expended
from county money for this pur-
pose in 1861. In 1886 the
county's part was $9,289; in 1854
SIS Dare County's part was 1924;
in 1953-54 it was 1852; and in
1928 the county paid $1,000.

RETURN, TO SCHOOL. ADVICE
GIVEN WORKING TEEN-AGERS

Raleigh.-State Labor Commits
sioner Frank Crane today urged
teen-agers who have been working
this summer to resign from their
jobs and go back to the classrooms
when the school bells ring this
fall.
"The more schooling you have,
the higher your adult buying
power will be-" Crane advised the
youngsters. every year of school
ing increases adult income. The
average hihh school graduate
earns almost as much at age %
average high school graduate
makes at As"
Crane cited the 1850 Census
which showed that men high
school graduates, at age % anC
over, earned an average of $752 q
year more than men who had quit
school after completing the 9th
grade. Women high school gradu-
ates earned $675 year more thar
9Th grade graduates.
He also called attention to U
S. Chamber of Commerce study
which showed that retail sales tt
high school graduates in 14s
American cities were 20 per cent
higher than sales to people whC
had quit school after finishing the
9Th grade.
Crane commended the more thar
1000 Tar Heel teen-agers whC
were issued employment certifi
Gates this summer for their spiri
and initiative in taking advantage
of vacation job opportunities.
"The same initiative should nov
take you back to the classrooms,
he said. "Only a good education
can give you the real break yo'
need. The long haul ahead is tn
really important thing for you"

INFORMATION ON
WELFARE BUDGET
IN DARE GIVEN

Every dollar of county tax
money in the 1888 public as
sistance budget of the Dare Coun-
ty department of public welfare
will bring nearly SO of State and
Federal money to the county.
This and other facts about the
finances and services of the county
department of public welfare We're
brought out this week by Pennel
A. Tillett of Kitty Hawk, chairman
of the Dare County Board of Pub
lie Welfare, in discussion of that
departments assistance budget.
County money for three public
assistance categories-old age as
Sistance, aid to dependent children,
and aid to the permanently and
totally disabled-will amount to
$t2,87O in the budget for 1957-5s
as approved by the board of pub
lie welfare and the commissioners
This is only 1910 more county
money than was budgeted last
year for this purpose, despite the
fact that $4,726 more is being
made available from State ant
Federal funds this year, Mr.. Til
lett said.
The county tax money viii
bring an additional $112,946 to the
county from State and Fedora
sources. Previous years needs
population trends, and other fac.
tors help determine the amount:
an the budget set up each year
Each category has its own formu
la of Federal and State matching
In the budget for old age as
sistance, $4,910 of county money il
set up. When State and Fedora
funds are added, total of 500, 76l
is anticipated as the need for this
year. Mr.. Tillett indicated that thi!
will provide for 10 cases of need!
persons 65 years of age and oldel
who will receive an average o.
about $43 per month. Helpful non
financial services are given thes
recipients and other people il
need of services in addition to tn
financial aid.
A total of $50 persons are ex
pected to need aid to dependen
children each month in this yea
and will receive an average of So
each month. The sum of $3.50 o
county money in the budget vii
provide $4,000 for this purpos
when State and Federal funds ar
added.
In the aid to the permanent
and totally disabled, it is antici
pated that Sc persons will need
monthly average of SAB. The coun
ty puts in $3.50 of the total o
$34,056 budgeted for this purpose
Administration Budget
"There is no increase this yea
in county tax funds for the &C
ministration of public welfare

the county," said Mr.. Tillett, in.
discussing the items in the depart
ment's 1888 administrative bud
get.
The sum of $9,777 of county tax
funds is included in the total ad-
ministrative budget of $18,950.
Though the total for administra-
ton is $1,237 more than was used
last year, no part of this amount
of additional money will come
from county tax funds, according
to Mr.. Tillett's statement. Addi-
tional State and Federal funds
made up this difference.
The annual administrative bud
get, a part of the total budget of
the department of public welfare
is determined by estimates based
upon needs as demonstrated in
previous years, current costs OF
rent, travel, salaries, supplies, etc..
and other factors. The county well
fare board makes up budget
based upon needs and county
money available. This preliminary
budget is then cleared with ths
State Board of Public Welfare
which indicates the amount OF
State and Federal money that will
be available to match county funds
allotted to this purpose. The fina
budget. is approved by both the
county welfare board and the
county commissioners, Mr.. Tillett
stated.
The NUMBER of staff needed il
the department and the division
of responsibilities is based upoI
the number of cases being handled
and other factors, Mr.. Tillett said
The salaries and qualifications o.
the staff are a part of the Meri
System in use statewide in accord
ance with standards set forth il
Federal legislation affecting pub
lie welfare administration.
In addition to administering thu
public assistance program which
determines the eligibility of appli
cants and their need for financia
assistance, the administrative bud
get provides staff which render
various types of non-financia
services to people in need of thes
services. Typical of these are
handling adoptions, rendering
many kinds of child welfare serv
t ices, supervising boarding home
r for adults and foster homes fo
D children. The public welfare de
partment performs many service
l for State agencies, like the De
e partment of Labor, which do no
e have county offices.

"REMINISCENCES
FROM A
FOOL KILLER
By BILLY ARTHUR
(In The Chapel Hill Weekly

Why is it when you or are
driving a nail and hit the thumb
instead, and then go hopping
around and jumping and whirling
in the widest contortions of
agony, and singing the hand as if
trying to get rid of the lacerated
thumb, someone is sure to ask,
docs it hurt ?"
1t always happens, but why?
The average answer is "that's just
the way thing are"
| Why?
Take me, for instance. If see
a fight, / try to keep the crowd
back so the fighters will get a
fair deal.
| When man is run over or hurt,
l run for help, phone the police,
help load him into an ambulance
all so can see how badly he's
hurt and get lot of first-hand
information.
| 1 attend all parades and fires.
But / only work or help out when
no one else apparently is attend
ing to his duties. And at fires my
work is altogether in a supervisory
and critical capacity.
4 When a musician or band
comes to town, l always attend by
standing near the open windows
and doors, because no better enter
tainment can be had anywhere for
less money.
]. Why?
Horace Greedy Miller inferen-
TALLY asked the same questions in
the old Moravian Falls Fool Killer
when he pointed out:
"a fellow with more cunning,
alacrity, superior acumen or fool
luck runs across a valuable goneth
and claims to be its sole owner
simply because he beat somebody
else to it. That's discovery.
"a man holds stock and sits in
a shack or lies in the shade and
earns nary nickle. That's income
another man has no income
+ and does nothing useful. He's g
: tramp.
"a musician composes master,
!, piece, sells it for bread to keeI
: from begging or stealing. After
he's dead, another man copyrights
it and gets rich. That's genius.
"a skilled worker takes a little
, straw worth two cents, few
feathers worth five cents, 6
nickle's worth of ribbon and con.
jures up a combination of in
discribable and senseless form
, which serves for a lady's head
gear. That's art.
ga hat and frock go out of style
1 and wife or daughter wouldn'
have it as a gift. Next year il
comes back into style, and father
sells cow and calf and buys it
That's fashion.
"a man invests his money il
the right thing at the right time
and gets rich. He's a financier.
another invests his money il
the wrong thing, earns dollars fol-
the stockholders. That's labor.
"An uneducated man labors fol-
$1.50 a day and earns dollars fol
the stockholders. That's labor.
"The officials exercise lordshil
over the nation. That's states
craft.
"The soldier fights for it. That's
patriotism
"The priest prays for it. That:
divinity.
"The attorney pleas for it
That's the law.
"And the masses make every rec
cent of the wealth and then foo
, the whole burned bill. That's pro.
duction."
Why?
Now back to driving that mai
and hitting the thumb and the mar
asking if it hurts. Although we
know sympathy has prompted the
question, we cannot resist that
! tantalizing, longing, uncomfortable
!, desire to be perverse, and answer
! "No, it doesn't hurt a bit. Right

of hearts would never be an
entry to the board.
Mr.. Abel now laid down the
ace Of clubs. stripping Mrs Keen
of that suit. He followed with
the queen and another heart.
Mrs. Keen was In on the last
heart lead and had nothing left
but her original three spades and
a diamond. She returned the ten
of spades. and although this gave
Mr.. Abel two spade winners. he
still had only eight tricks in all.
Beautiful end-play for down
one" said Mr.. Champion sar-
|castically. Anybody could enter
my hand If I had an ace. / had
an entry just as good as the ace,
but 1t took a little thinking to
see it."
This analysis was brutal. but
correct. 1t should have been
clear to Mr.. Abel at the start
that the heart suit offered the
only possible chance for an entry
to the dummy hand. His play Of
the trey Of hearts on the first
trick was certainly normal. but
this was not normal situation
He should have dropped the
queen Of hearts under the ace
This would have left him with
