Va bring It -met CI h TtT mm OLD AGE ACT TO ATO MANY State Board' Statement Clarifies Act; Shows Who Are Eligible RALEIGH, May 12. There are thousands of North Carolinians who will be eligible for aid under pro visions of the Old Age Assistance Act passed by the- 1937 General Assembly, and there are many more who will not be able to meet tli e requirements for various rea sons; The State Board of Charities and Public Welfare, a'nxious to make clear provisions of the Old Age Assistance plan, which becomes ef fective on July 1 of this year, has issued a statement tending to clari fy the Act. One of the first requirements is that applicants for aid under the plan shall be" citizens of the United States, either native-born or "natur alized. Another essential is that ap plicants shall be 65 years of age or over, and shall not have suf ficient income, or other resources, to provide a reasonable subsistance compatible with decency and health. Many persons reaching the age of 65 have not been able, frequent ly through no fault of their own, to save sufficient money to care for themselves in the declining years of their lives; others, because of age or disabilities, are unable to earn a comfortable livelihood, while still others are not so situ ated that they can care for them selves. I Applicants for assistance under the Act' are not supposed to be in mates of any public institution at the time the applications are filed. However, they may apply for aid which, if allowed, will not begin until they have ceased to be in mates of public institutions. In order to prevent possible fraudulent applications for assist ance under the Old Age plan, the law specifically prohibits the as signment or' transfer of property during the two years prior to the filling of applications. Another requirement which will be rigidly adhered to is that all applicants must have been residents of North Carolina for at least five of the nine years preceding the filing of the applications, and for one year immediately preceding the filing. There is an additional stipulation, in view of the fact that the 100 counties of the State are participat ing in the financial aspects of the Act, that applicants must have been' residents of the county in which the applications are filed for at least one year. This, however, in cases where county residence has been of shorter duration, has been cared for by a clause in the law which provides that approved ap plicants shall receive full benefits, with the difference which would have been absorbed by the county coming from the State appropria tion. Instances of this character will be passed upon by the State board. Amounts' to be paid applicants will not exceed $30 per month, or $360 per year. Of this amount, the counties will pay practically one fourth, and the State one-fourth. Women Interested In Radio Recipes Farm women are always interest ed in timely recipes, specialists of the Home Demonstration Division at State college have discovered. As an example, nearly 100 re quests for preserving strawberries came in after Mrs. Cornelia C. Morris, extension economist in food conservation and marketing, gave a talk on the Carolina Farm Fea tures program over Station WPTF, Raleigh, in which she mentioned several recipes. ( With the strawberry season flour ishing, farm homemakers are in terested in preserving some of the fruit for use during those months when fruits and berries are scarce. Mimeographed directions for con serving the berries were sent to all those who had requested the reci pes. Mrs. Morris and others in the department expressed themselves as being well pleased with the re sponse which has been shown by farm women to the weekly home demonstration program heard each Thursday. Ancestral Crafts Asset To W. N. C. Mountaineers ASHEVILLE In the coves and valleys of the mountains of West ern North Carolina, mountain folks today work the shuttles of their ancestral looms, pump the fires of old-time forges and twirl ancient spinning wheels with a purpose. Several years ago, the ancestors of the present generation of moun taineers, used these same looms and forges to make the clothing and hardware needed on the moun tain farms. Skill in the crafts was passed down from father to son and mother to daughter. In these modern times with high-speed ma chines turning out all his needs, there is no further necessity for the mountaineer to make materials, laboriously by hand. But today, there are more mountain craftsmen at work than ever before in his tory. The mountaineer has found a national market for his hand made products. ' The making of handmade objects and materials from wool, cotton, linen, metal, wood, river reeds, white oak splits, pine cones and clay has become a major industry in the hills due to the national de mand for these .products, created through the tourist trade and through well-organized marketing operations. In 1901 Mrs. George W. Vander bilt established on the famous Bilt more Estate, the Biltmore Indus tries, a school at which mountain folks were taught greater skill in weaving and art of woodcarving. Later the. industries under the ownership jof Fred L. Seely, were moved to the. grounds of Grove Park Inn and the principal prod uct, the noted Biltmore Homespun, is known throughout the nation as a fartious suiting material. Other schools to teach wider va rieties of skill and products to mountain people have been located at Penland and Crossnore and oth er sections of the highlands. Moun tain craftsmen in many sections turn out beautiful articles of fur niture and other items from match ed woods, useful implements and beautiful ornaments from metal, and there is a vast variety of at tractive wares produced by moun tain potters from mountain clays on old-time potters wheels. The great Variety of mountain products, ranging from rugs, through silver and metal crafts, wooden toys, woodcarvings, furni ture, blankets, homespun, linens, rhododendron wood souvenirs and pottery, to Cherokee Indian-made baskets, pottery and beadwork, go not only into the tourist trade of this section but to all parts of America. American per capita cheese con sumption was approximately 6 pounds during 1936. This contrasts with the consumption of but 2.9 nounds in 1917. America is still far behind other cheese-eating coun tries. The Swiss lead the van, with 19.2 pounds per person each year; the French are next with 16.6 pounds, the Dutch 15.4, Scandinav ians 10.8, the Danes 10.57, the Brit ish 9.69, and the Germans 7.01. Colder Months Best To Grow Hay Crops Success usually smiles on the dairy farmer who grows his hay crop during the winter and early spring months, according to F. R. Farnham, extension dairy special ist at State college. This plan, to a large extent, over comes failures often encountered due to a lack of rainfall when summer grown hay has been de pended upon. Farnham says farmers have found that winter cereal hay crops pro vide an excellent roughage' if cut at the right time. . Most authorities now agree that the correct time to 'harvest small grains and legumes found in the mixture for cereal hay crops comes when this hay .contains the larg est quantity of digestible nutrients. Therefore, says Farnham, it has been established that the stage of maturity will determine the nutri tive value of the hay when cut. When plants are permitted to be come over-ripe, the fibre content increases and the protein decreases. Cows do .not relish over-ripe hay of this type if it has been stored over a period of several months, and will not produce as much milk when fed such hay. For winter hay crops, such as oats, wheat, barley, vetch, and Austrian winter peas, the bloom is the best indicator known for time of cutting. Harvest the hay at the end of the bloom period, Farnham advises. When harvested at this time, the hay is palatable, high in protein, and will provide valuable roughs age for dairy cows. i . . What is the "Low-price Field"? Y OU hear a lot about 4the low-price field" these days. A good many cars claim to be in 1L So whenever the low-price field is mentioned, remember: Until Ford came, no average American could own a car. Today all Ford prices are still low with the prices of the 60-horsepower Ford V-8 $30 to $60 lower than those of any other car of com parable size. But with Ford, "low price" doesn't merely mean low figures on the price tag. It means much more than that. It means low prices and low costs all the car's long life. Low prices for ser " " i v vice for parts - and, above all, for operation. Both Ford V-8 engine sizes are economical to operate. The 85 horsepower gives' greater gas ' oline mileage this year than ever, and the '60 delivers the highest mileage in Ford history. . Private owners, cab companies, fleet operators all report that the "60" averages from 22 to 27 miles per gallon of gasoline. Check and see how much Ford saves yon.
