Counties Pay Average Os One-ninth Os Cost Os State Public Assistance Program Counties pay an average of one ninth of the cost of public assistance in North Carolina, according to a breakdown of facts in a newly added feature in Public Welfare Statistics, a multilithed publication of the State Board of Public Welfare. Os the three categories of public assistance to which the Federal, State and county governments contribute, aid to dependent children cost the counties less than an average of 9 per cent of the monthly payments in April, 1953. State and Federal gov ernment paid the remaining 91 per cent—the State paying less than 12 per cent and the Federal government paying about 79 per cent. The maxi mum monthly payment allowed are S3O each for the first child and a re sponsible adult and s2l for each ad ditional child. Few get the maximum. The monthly average over the State is $15.31 per person or $56.79 per family of approximately four per sons. In old age assistance tne county’s share of cost on the average payment is about 10 per cent. The State pays a little more than 14 per cent and the Federal government pays nearly 76 per cent. The number receiving old age assistance is gradually declin ing despite the growing population 69* years of age and over. The maximum monthly payment is $55 with few re ceiving that much. The average pay ment over the State is $29.67. The county pays about 14 per cent of the cost of monthly payments in aid to the permanently and totally dis abled. The State pays about 15 per cent and the Federal government’pays approximately 71 per cent. This is the newest public assistance program and takes care of many cases which had been provided for by county funds only through general assistance. In general assistance the county pays 100 per cent of the cost of monthly payments to people in need. Most counties use general assistance to provide for emergency situations which do not qualify for any of the jointly financed programs. General assistance is also used until a person begins to receive assistance from one of the jointly financed plans for which he is found to be eligible. But for whatever purpose general assistance is used, the total cost of this program is paid out of county funds.

In many counties less able to meet their share of the payments, the State gives added fiiiancial aid to the county through equalizing funds. The Federal government pays ap- . proximately three-fourths of the cost of money payments to recipients in the three public assistance programs. The State pays nearly one-seventh of the cost, and the counties, on the av erage, pay about one-ninth. a ===== f FACTS... { About Pedestrians j Q Hill • MHIIIIIIIHIIUH lf»IIIIWIHIIIWIM»P Are pedestrians more likely to be come involved in mishaps with motor vehicles in cities or in the country?

AUGUST 6, 1953. v J (No. 10 of a series) You Judgo a road by its smooth ness, its appearance, its safety. That’s natural, because you can’t get down underneath it and study the foundation, which is the really im portant part of any highway. If You Could study the founda tion, you'd be more aware of the fact that the surface is only a small part of a highway. Like the roof over a house, the surface of the road must be supported by a strong founda tion. If that is properly built, the sur face needs only occasional repairs to remain always new. Freezing and Thawing ... rain ... snow ... the blazing sun ... these wear away the solid rock of moun tains. The highways built by man will, in the same way, be affected by time and weather. How well they will resist depends on how welltfey are / 1 constructed and protected. i * It Is Not Uncommon, like in the picture above, for a newly constructed road to crack up, buckle or heave or, in some cases, to collapse entirely before it has even been opened to traffic! This is because of faulty con struction. of course. On# Thing we know about roads is this: boulevard pavements that never feel the tire of a truck wear out at just about the same rate as paving on streets and highways han dling the heaviest traffic. A Reasonable life expectancy for a well-made, well-drained and well-graded highway is about 20 years. But you only get that when ' you maintain an efficient program of inspection and repairing. So Don’t blame traffic when you see a road break up—or break down. A highway that cannot stand steady usage by not only a normal stream of passenger cars, but of heavy trucks and trailers as well, is not correctly built in the first place. or Sideways ! ii V W'/ v +/ f It-- iSauk \. ••' < a«L. || yyjggjlA y it’s Ford for looks!
