OLD AGE AID UP, REPORT DISCLOSES ^ 16 per cent, increase in the ',.b, r of old age assistance cases L,lg handled by the county wel fare "department, combined with a ,al 0f 41 applications for assist ed which cannot be granted, due ’ insufficient funds, was revealed jjV j it. -Hollis, superintendent, yesterday. Hollis has been notified by the iate board of public welfare that, d.,e to a state-wide increase in the number of dependent old people, the monthly allotment of state flinds cannot be increased. Tn„ Sew Hanover supermtendent disclosed that the entire monthly allotment is now in use; therefore, the 41 applications cannot be aided. He reported that 533 cases were helped this month, an increase of 91 over the 483 handled during last January. -The marked increase was attri buted by Hollis to the following factors: The return of relatives of aged persons from the armed forces resulting in the cessation of month ly allotments. Many of these vet trans have not been able to find employment, or are making such small salaries that they are unable to more than support their im mediate families. i Turing the emergency period and consequent labor shortage, a num v;f, of elderly persons were em ployed. but have since lost their The state board’s position was explained to Hollis in the following letter from R. Eugene Brown, di rector of public assistance. “Expenditures for old age as sistance payments for the month of January amounted to $469,000 which is $6,000 more than the total allotted to the counties on a month ly basis. For this reason it will be necessary for each county to stay within its monthly allotment in order to avoid the necessity of having to terminate a large num ber of grants, or to reduce grants near the end of the fiscal year. 'New applications for February payments will have to be returned to counties if the amount of new applications would cause February payments to exceed the monthly allotment. No new applications or revisions upward should be sub mitted by counties if the monthly allotment is now being entirely used, or has been exceeded, until such time as terminations reduce expenditures below present month ly allotments. "All counties should continue to accept new applications and handle them in accordance with the pro visions of the manual. Applications from persons found to be eligible should be approved and reported statistically as "applications ap proved but receiving no assistance” if the uounty is now using all of the monthly allotment. Grants should not be reduced in order to provide grants for new applicants. “As a basis for making inquiry as to the possibility of securing ad ditional funds for 1946-47, we are asking that you submit on the at tached form the following' informa tion by January 31: "1—Number of OAA applications approved but receiving no assist ance. "2—Number of OAA applications not approved by Board but already known to be eligible. “3—Number of OAA applications pending investigation.” WEATHER (Continued Prom Page One) WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—yp)—Weather bureau report of temperature and rain fall for the 24 hours ending 8 p*n.: s,ali°n High Low Free.

Coast Guard hitch hikers who left a bag of shav ing needs including an electric razor in a Wilmingtonian’s car enroute to Richmond, Va„ last Monday night sent a letter to Miss Minnie A.

So you see, we hope you can help us. The letter explained that the man who was about 40 years old, medium build, slightly grey and drove a 1941 black Ford sedan, was a member of the automobile club. The motorist was going as far as Richmond and gave the men a ride. After arriving in Rich mond the hitch-hikers realized to late that they left the bag in the car. Klein said if the man was lo cated to please have him send the bag C.O.D. to S. Klein, 702 932, United States Coast Guard Lifeboat station, Kill Devil Hill, North Carolina. MEAT PACKING PLANT STRIKERS EXPECTED TO RETURN MONDAY (Continued From Page One) A spokesman for Armstrong said livestock could be started into packing plants over the weekend and “by Monday we should have a good volume of operation, but not nearly 100 per cent.” Meantime, a fact - finding panel working all week in Chicago on the meat strike con troversy finished its hearings. Its chairman, Dr. Edwin E. Witte of the University of Wis consin, said the panel had gathered “a great deal of valu able information in the shortest possible time” and believed it could “reach a conclusion in the shortest possible time.” Moving to Washington, the panel will study the testimony Monday and Tuesday, meet with OPA of ficials Wednesday and hear final arguments. Thursday. The other members are Judge Raymond W. Starr of the Michigan Supreme court and Clark Kerr of the Uni versity of California. “If the parties can adjust this matter before next Thursday, not only the panel but the entire country will be grateful to you,” Dr. Witte said. A telegram from Secretary An derson to the leaders of both AFL and CIO unions played a key role in the CIO reversal of action. In it Anderson assured the unions that he would “immediately apply” for approval of any wage increases the fact-finding panel might recom mend. STEEL OUTLOOK DARK PITTSBURGH, Jan. 26.—CU.R)— Hope for an early settlement of the great steel strike fadea tonight af ter Philip Murray, president of the CIO United Steel Workers, said he had no idea what the next develop ment might be. The strike of 750,000 union mem bers approached its seventh day as Washington observers expected new government pressure on the steel industry to accept President Truman’s wage formula of an 18 1-2 cents an hour increase. The rejection of Mr. Truman’s proposal by U. S. Steel Corp., was the switch that threw the strike machinery into action one minute after midnight Sunday. Murray prepared to leave for Washington Sunday night, where he will testify Tuesday before the Senate Education and Labor com mittee. At a news conference today, the union leader said, “I have no plans to see the President.’’ The strike has choked off 1,200, 000 tons of raw steel in six days, caused a wage loss to steel work ers. alone of $39,000,000, and has idled a total of more than 900,000 workers in the steel industry and allied fields. Its effect was still spreading. The leading causes of fire are defective flues and chimneys. J. 1 1 Ii UUiTJ-'A* A U I Ailli-inj T? ASSOCIATED CHARITIES TO SEEK COUNTY’S AID (Continued From Page One) Dated on Jan. 1, according to offi cials of the Chest. The Rev. Alexander Miller, president of the board of direc tors, said last night that funds have been exhausted and that some plan would have to be worked out to assure the future operations. He declared that many of the cases, which would ordinarily be the work of the Wel fare department, have been re ferred to the Charities for care. This has helped increase the bur den he paid. Both Mrs. Ellis and the Rev. Mr. Miller explained there were times during the depression when the agency was forced to appeal to county commissioners for aid and that the Charities had “always managed to find a way out of similar circumstances as they arose.” The annual financial report of the Charities, as of Jan. 1, dis closed the organization to possess a $1,039.66 deficit at that time, including a direct operating deficit of $188.17 and unpaid bills of $851.49. In 1945 the total expenditure of the Charities was $24,547.31, ex clusive of the deficit. Of this amount, $23,375.45 were total re ceipts from the city, county. Com munity Chest, James Walker Memorial hospital and friends. During the coming year at least $5,500 of this sum will not be available, that amount being the aid given by the Chest during 1945. In addition to county and city funds, James Walker Memorial hospital allows $275 a year applied toward hospital treatment for cases coming under jurisdiction of the Charities. Currently, the only known avail able funds for the entire year of 1946, including county, city and hospital funds, amount to about $17,500. This does not include donations from “friends,” which in 1945 amounted to $1,293.07, ac cording to the annual report for that year. On paper, if the Charities ex penditures and income approxi mate 1945 figures, they are faced with a potential 1946 deficit of some $8,000. O. VV 1 J^lviiINIjr 1 UIN. IN. « Light Resp mse Reported To Paralysis Aid Checks -- + Recreation Centers Plan Full Week Of Activity; Dance Thursday As the “March of Dimes” cam paign winds its way into the final phases of the drive for funds to fight Infantile Paralysis, William K. Rhodes, Jr., county chairman, urged recipients of letters con taining contribution cheeks to re turn them to his office before Thursday when the campaign closes. A total of 7,000 blank checks were mailed to cny and county residents, Rhodes has disclosed, with only 250 being returned to his office. The returned checks amount to over $1,000, he said. Rhodes also announced a partial tabulation of the campaign con ducted among school students. With four secondary schools and New Hanover High school yet to make returns the collections amount to $1,175.78, the chairman said: In many instances, Rhodes point ed out, the students contributed their lunch money to the fund. “If children can go without lunches to help the work of the National and County foundations, those persons who have received letters should be able to make a contribution,” he declared. A variety of programs at the respective recreation centers dur ing the coming week with pro ceeds going to the fund have been! planned by the city recreation de partment. Included will be a benefit bridge party at Lake Forest, date to be announced, a series of four one-act plays at Cornelius Harnett, Thurs day, January 31, and an open Rouse for children, a basketball game and a dance at Hewes center the same night.
