Le.e; of Roper, who was burned to death in the fire which de stroyed the Central Case on January 4, came to town recently, but not to claim the corpse of her husband.

C., Jan. 12.—A hill lo .provide aid for mothers who are men ! tally, morally and physically able to tare for their children, but who are j financially unable to do so will be | proposed to the general assembly by j various civic and fraternal organiz.n- Itions in the state including tin* North j Carolina Legislative Council of Wom |en with the approval of the state I board of charities and public welfare, ,it was announced l#>re today, Such [aid will mean the annual expenditure j of SIOO,OOO by the state and the sever j til counties, ft is planned that the j state appropriate SSO.<MK> a year from which appropriations made by the | counties which take advantage of the f bill will be matched dollar for dollar, lit will be permissive with the several j counties whether use is made of such I provision. j There are now approximately 2,000 j in the state who are in need of the ' i benefits of such legislation and for whom there is no room in the orphan ages of the state, declared Mrs. Kate : Burr Johnson, commissioner of public , welfare. The whole idea of a mother’s ' aid law is that the home is the most | j satisfactory place for the rearing 6f ! the .child and that mother and chil- I dren should not be separated for rens -1 oils of poverty only, it was explained, i Ii is generally admitted, the conlmis ; sinner said, that institutional life, however good, can never lx* as ad vantageous for tlie development of the child as normal home life. No row machinery will be required' for the administration of mother’s aid in North Carolina, according to the commissioner, as the fund would lie administered by the state hoard of charities and public welfare through I lie county welfare officers acting un der their respective boards of Hip coun jty commissioners. Recommendations ! for the benefit under this law would he made by the judge of the juvenile ! court and tin* county board of public welfare subject to tin* approval of tlie state board of charities and public welfare after investigation. } North Carolina is one of six states only which at present have no form of mother’s aid.- The idea is steadily growing in popularity, understanding and execution. The law differs in dif j ferent states as to the requirements for the mother who shall receive aid. jin the proposed law for the state a ] mother shall be eligible for benefits 'if she boa widow or divorced or de j sorted, if it be found impossible to re ! quire the husband to support her, or the husband is found to be mentally j or physically incapacitated to support i his family, or if he is confined to any penal or eleemsyo-nary institution, provided no relative is able and will ing to undertake to/a id the women ef ficiently. The beneficiary must, also have been a resident, of the stae for three years and of the county one year. Each case will require a thorough in vestigation and constitute a particu lar problem and it is here that the careful supervision of the state hoard of charities and public welfare will i be of special value. An interesting system of mother's aid is being used at present by Rev. M.| L. Kesler, superintendent of the j Baptist Orphanage at Thomasville. Mr. Kesler has been administering ! mother's aid to more than 150 fami -1 lies and has expressed his opinion that ! much better work can he done when I families are kept intact. “Between Friends” Not infrequently in financial transactions between friends, there is a tinge of embarrass ment in requesting, a receipt for money paid.
