up an equalizing fund to help the
poorer counties. The amount of
this equalizing fund used in tie
31 months was $157,167.40 so,
the State furnished $2,166,532.03
and the counties $1,852,197.23 in
matching the Federal funds.
In Old Age and Suiwivors In-
.surance. formerly Old Age Bene
fits, only a small amount was
distributed, amounting in North
Carolin!(. through last October, to
$291,689.73. This is made up of
small lumpvsum payments to
workers who had accumulated
credits after January 1, 1937,
and had since quit work, or to
families of such \^orkei-s who had
died. Of this amount of payments
received in North Carolina, the
workers had contributed only one
\per cent of their wages, or $8.3,-
Vs3P.»2, the employers had con
tributed a like amount, while the
U. S. Covernment had made up
the difference of $125,009.89, to
make the total payments 3 1-2
per cent of the taxable wages of
such workers. These distributions
went on a monthly basis Jan
uary 1, 1940, and will become in
creasingly larger as time passes.

’231.87 (to which may be added
$194,344.38 sent to former resi
dents living iu other states, to
|Bfc,^Tt^ke a total of $12,610,57 6.25).
■•This sum was paid entirely by
employers of the State in contri
butions, no part coming from the
eraploj'ees. or the Federal, State
or county governments.
Aid to Dependent Children in
North Carolina, in the 31 months
of payments through last Janu
ary. amounted to $3,109,475.96,
of which the Federal Covern
ment contributed $1,036,491.9!;,
or one-third of the total. The
State and the counties also con-
tirbuted one-third each, except
that the State, from the equaliz
ing fund, paid $75,350.53 for the
weaker counties. The result

Use the‘advertising columns of
this paper as your shopping guide
plying by four—years of opera
tion—the amounts received an
nually from the Federal Govern
ment in the five divisions, and by
multiplying by two the amounts
in three divisions which the State
matches entirety, and estimates of
State and county matching or con
tributions in the other two di
visions.
These annual Federal amounts,
varying some in four years, have
been Maternal and Child Health
is Services. $114,829.18: Services
that the St..te contributed $1,'for Crippled Children, $96.-
111,842.54 and the counties 537.05: Vocational Rdhabilita-
$961,141.44. As of January 1. tion, $49,414.00, all matched by
1940, the Federal Government ] the State; Child Welfare Services,
began contributing one-half to i $77,542.70. to which the counties
this fund, and the State and coun
ties one-fourth each, subject to
adjustments from the equalizing
fund.
Aid to the Blind, in the same
31 months, through January, a-
mounted to $788,406.04. of w'hich
the Federal Government furnish
ed $394,203.02, and the State and
vcoantles each $197,101.51. No
banalizing fund is provided in
tWs division.
The five “services,” in opera
tion for tour years, to April,
1940, provided approximately $4,-
600,000.00 for North Carolina.
This figure is arrived at by multi-
contributed; and Public Health
Work, $305,960.00, in several
sections of which the State
matched Federal funds. Large In
creases in four of these five di
visions, provided by Congress in
August, 1939, probably balance
the lack of full use of the funds I
for the first year. The estimated
total Is prorated to counties on
the basis of population, which is
nor strictly accurate. Also, 24
counties with no health depart
ments, receive little or none of
the health funds. The'7-6 others
get some more than their pro
portionate share.
