CUTS IN WELFARE
PAYMENTS IN M. c.
ORDERED RECENTLY
Reductions in OAA in January
and APTD in November
Approved in Raleigh

A decision of the State Board of
Welfare in Raleigh to make re-
dnctions in payments in welfare
grants has been approved by the
Budget Commission, and grants for
old age assistance will be reduced
in January, and grants for aid to
dependent children will be reduced
in November. The cuts will not be
large, and the grants will still be
as about as Large as those of the
preceding year.
Under the system by which wei
fare funds are allowed, counties
put up small amount compared
with the sum provided from State
and Federal funds. Through the
years, many inequities have crept
into the administration and division
of these funds. There is wide
spread complaint throughout the
state that those who need often
don't get, and those who don't need
often get money from these
sources they don't deserve.
Bitter complaint occurs in neigh
borhoods where needy old people
get this free tax money, and then
allow worthless sons and others to
come home and loaf while feeding
ON the money and even joy riding
on gas paid for from checks in
tended for worthy purpose. The
people are getting sick and tired of
some conditions, and have long
been complaining nightly. The
complaints have gone to Raleigh
and have been reflected in doings
of the legislators. Pressure has
been brought upon the Welfare De-
partments. Like all other good
things that are abused, when the
evil day rolls around whereby cor
,ections must take place, it is often
those who are most needy, who
suffer most.
State Welfare officials of course,
usually reluctant to cut anything,
but on the other hand to increase
spending, didn't want to make the
cuts. They had asked the Budget
Commission for an additional $780,
600 from the contingency and enler-
gency fund, but the Budget Com
mission didn't yield. They had
heard plenty. They wanted to see
an improvement in the management
of welfare money. Like the folks
who pay the bill, the taxpayers,
they hoped to see some backbone
put into the program. Welfare
agencies never offer to save money,
To spend economically, or to make
cuts. Their whole program seems
To be based on effort to spend and
spend. This appears to be the first
time that state officials have had
the courage to buck the tide.

recent legislature had contended
that the agency could get by with.
out cutting grants if it held average
grant levels to those prevailing
during the 1889 fiscal year
These levels were $3.50 for OAA
and $42.52 for APTD.
With the cuts, the Budget Bur-
eau estimates the average pay
ment for OAA will be $37.75 in
January and that ATPD will aver
age $43.02.
Actually, the average payment
under each program has been
climbing each month since the As
sembly adjourned. OAA payments
in August averaged $39.41 and
A = nraged $45.13.
These compare with May aver
ages S38.62 in OAA and $44.19
for APTD.
Based on Local Needs.
Welfare officials explained that
payment averages inevitably go up
because of the nature of the North
Carolina welfare system, based as
it is on the power of local welfare
boards to meet needs in their
counties on the basis of local con-
dition.
Welfare payments are made on
the basis of individual budgets
of needs" prepared for each re-
cipient. These budgets include food,
clothing and other necessities.
The method of cutting" the av-
erage payments from the state
level is done by reducing the "per-
centage of need" which welfare will
meet for individual budgets.
Presently, welfare payments to
OAA recipients meet IS per cent
of the individual budget need. The
welfare department proposal ap-
proved last week would cut this
PERCENTAGE to 80 per cent. Present
ly, in APTD cases, welfare pays
80 per cent of budgeted need. The
proposal would cut that to rs per
cent beginning November 1.
For example, and old person
whose budget shows he needs $50
to survive would now be getting
$42.50 a month. With the reduction
in percentage of need that would
be met ,he would get $40.

nth CENTURY FRENCH
EXCITED ABOUT PEAS


Although dry peas had been
used as food since primitive
times, it wasn't until about the
18th century that Europeans
began eating green peas.
After the Norman conquest,
the English people began us
ing peas in the fresh, green
stage-cooking pods whole and
eating the peas from the pod
and sometimes also eating the
pods.
Even as late as the 18th
century, green peas were still
rare enough in Europe to COM
mand fantastic prices. AT that
time, though, the eating Of
peas in France became "both
a fashion and a madness"
writes one author. Madame de
Maintenon wrote: This sub
jet Of peas continues to abb
sorb all others. The anxiety to
eat them, the pleasure of hav-
ing eaten them, and the desire
tc eat them again, are the
three great matters which
have been discussed by our
princes the past four days"
Garden peas dld not become
common until the 18th cen
fury, but SO many fine carrie
ties were developed ii Eng
land that the peas became
known as the English pea" In
parts Of the United States, par
ticuiarly in the South, green
peas are still called English
Pens"

Peas were introduced into
the United States in colonial
days, and Indians soon began
growing them and trading
them to pioneers. Today, most
ct the green peas for com
mercial canning are grown in
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Wash
ington, Oregon, and Illinois.
Last years pack of nearly 80
million cases, plus a heavy
carryoyer from the previous
season, has provided generous
supplies for the first half of
1859.
Canned green peas appeared
on the y. S. Department of
Agriculture's April listing Of
plentiful foods-a timely tip to
homamakers who make it a
practice to buy more often or
in larger quantities W h e n
foods are in top abundance.
Fortunately for the busy
homemaker, canned green peas
can be served in many ways
and are time-savers. Also, they
add appealing color to favor
lite casserole dishes, such as a
macaroni and cheese casserole.
For a layered effect in a ma
caroni and cheese casserole,
USDA suggests placing about
one-third Of the cooked maca-
roni in the bottom Of a creased
casserole, adding about one
third of the green peas, and
covering with some Of the
cheese sauce. Then repeat this
layering until the casserole is
filed.

Radio-Iodine
In Cows Milk
IsStudied
BY the Associated Press

A biologist says nuclear test
fallout has at least doubled the
dose Of radiation that the thy
roid glands of American chill
dren and infants receive in a
year.
The thyroids Of youngsters
have absorbed at least as much
radiation from radioactive 10
dine in fallout as they absorb
from normal surroundings, E.
B. Lewis reported in the June
issue Of the proceedings Of the
National Academy Of Sciences.
His article did not say
whether such an increase would
cause damage. or how much of
the radioactivity could be alb
sorbed safely.
Mr.. Lewis of the California
Institute of Technology based
his report on a weighted aver
age of published data on the
amount of radio-iodine in
cows milk at five metropolitan
milkshedS. The data covered
a l6-month period, ending last
September. and varied widely
among the areas surveyed.
The radio-iodine content of
milk was not recorded prior to
June, 1857.
He said that radio-iodine
concentrates in fresh cows
milk and reaches young people
because milk is a large part of
their diet. He added that ra-
dio-iodine. tends to concen-
trate in the thyroid glands,
which, in young people, are
sensitive to cancer-causing ra-
diation.
Soft tissues, like those of
the thyroid. usually absorb
about one-tenth of a rad "a
measure of radiation each
year from the radiation in the
natural environment, he re-
ported.
