Old Age Asistance, help for the needy passed 65 years of age, in Surry county in *3l months of distribution amounted to $114,- 790.50. The January amount was $4,684.50, going to 494 needy aged persons, an average of $9.48 each, as compared with the State av erage of $9.72 for the month. Aid to Dependent Children, help in the support of children deprived of their natural bread winners, amounted to $39,960.50 in the same 31 months. The January amount was $1,384.50, THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA going to the suport of 232 such children, an average of $5.97 each, as compared with the state average of $6.18 for the month. Aid to the Blind in Surry coun ty was $10,905.04 for the same 31 months. In January $434.60 went to 29 blind persons, average $14.98 each; state average, $14.90. In the Old Age Assistance and Aid to the Blind, the funds are provided one-half by the Federal Government and one-fourth each by the State and county. In Aid to Dependent Children funds have been furnished one-third each by Federal State and county governments. Now the Federal government will furnish one-half, as in cases of the needy aged and the blind. Old Age Benefits, now Old Age and Survivors' Insurance, is not available by counties, but a proration can be made to get a county estimate. This has been small lump sum payments to workers in covered employment since January 1, 1937, and who have since reached 65 years of age and quit work, or to the fam ilies of such workers who have died since that date. The impor tance of thi3 part of the program will be more apparent now, since payments have started on a monthly basis, as provided in an amendment by Congress in Aug ust, 1939. With an estimate in this one small item of $3,645.00 going to 101 workers or their families through October, and practically accurate figures in the other four divisions, it is apparent that just about $350,812 has been distrib uted in Surry county in these five major divisions. In the other five divisions, classed as "ser vices," a proration indicates that about $32,210.00 has been distrib uted in this county since the pro gram started, divided approxi mately as follows: Maternal and Child Health services, $5,740.00; Services for Crippled Children, $4,825.00; Child Welfare Services, $3,875.00; Vocational Rehabilita tion, $2,470.00; and Public Health work, $15,300.00. Several factors enter into this proration, Mr. Dunnagan explain ed. Surry county had a popula tion of 39,749, or about 1.25 per cent, of the population of the en tire state, 1930 census. This part of the Social Securiy program has been in operation about four years, and the State has matched Federal funds in almost every in stance. These facts are consider ed in making the proration. Central UCC office records show that in 1939 Surry county had 87 resident employers subject to the law and 5,480 workers pro tected by it. Subject employers paid into the State fund $286,- 111.14 in the years of 1937, 1938 and 1939, as compared with the $181,510.96 paid to unemployed workers in the county in the two years of 1938 and 1939. The records show that in 1938 and 1939 Surry unemployed workers filed 8,271 initial claims —the first claims filed after the worker becomes unemployed and 70,029 continued claims the claims filed each week, after the initial claims. Employment service records in dicate that in 1937, 1938 and 1939, 8,527 registrations for work and 2,165 placements on jobs were handled in Surry county. Employment and benefit pay ments business in Surry county is handled by the Employment Service office in Mt. Airy. LONGTOWN The children of Mrs. Jane Long met at her home on Moth er's Day for dinner.
