PAGE SIX SECTION ONE Brighter Year Ahead For Those Depending On Publie Welfare Children and older people •have a brighter New Year to look forward to because of the advances made this past year in measures for their protection and care through programs of the State Board of Public Wel fare. * In commenting on the State Board’s progress of the past year, Dr. Ellen Winston, Com missioner, said, "Special mention should be made of the demon stration project of homemaker care for the aged, licensing of the I,oooth foster home for chil dren and of the 200th day care facility, the increase in standards of protection for the aged and the 'more adequate provision for hospitalization of public assist ance recipients.” The year’s report also men tioned the increasing success of the Children’s Clothing Closet sponsored cooperatively with the Junior Woman’s Clubs of the State. The cooperative Heip-a- Home project of the N. C. Fed eration of Women's Clubs at tained its greatest success in providing household items for homes in greatest need in 1958, the report stated. The urgent need for a State appropriation for general assist ance was demonstrated as coun ties sought to help people who were in need because of the re cession during part of 1958 and the effects of. changes in Bgri coltcval patterns. The jointly financed public assistance grants could not be used to meet these needs because by law funds were limited to persons too old to work, persons too young to work or those too disabled to work. A focus on the various pro T grams of the State Board for the aged and infirm as well as on programs of other agencies was placed by the special week ob- \ served at mid-year under the sponsorship of the Governor’s Coordinating Committee on Ag ing. Licensing standards for board ing homes for the aged were raised further to assure the safety standards of the State Fire Marshal since 1954. This past year the licensing standards limited occupancy of non-fire proof buildings in use prior to 1954 to fully ambulatory resi dents and on the lirst floor only. There are now 3G7 licensed bearding homes for the aged in 85 counties. A demonstration project of homemaker care for the aged, hegun this past year, is now be-mg carried on in three coun ties—Harnett. Chatham and Ala mance. Two homemakers, one j for white and one for Negro public assistance recipients, in each county, give periodic per sonal assistance V in selected homes. This care permits the older person to remain in his own home instead of needing some type of more expensive group care. The two-year pro ject is made possible by a grant from the Doris Duke Founda tion supplemented by federal funds. Samovar 100 PROOF VODKA Sanufvar I VODKA £ N'hta *» to*,, KXMf' »»*»*«> CM* | £: L»—.

CO., N.Y.C Payments for the hospitaliza tion of public assistance re cipients were raised from $7.25 per day to $8 50 per day duiing the past year, a forward step made possible by amendments to the Social Security Act in Aug , ust, 1958. | Rates which may be paid for bearding home care for public assistance recipients who need skilled nursing care under con tinuing.medical supervision have oeen increased. This increase followed a study of the statewide situation conducted this past year and also the August amendments to the Social Security Act. Effective this past October the Federal government began matching payments on the aver age instead of limiting the maxi mum which any person may re ceive in public assistance pay ments. The effect of this amend ment to the Social Security Act will be to make it possible more nearly to meet the needs of per sons in greatest destitution. The average expenditure for this pur pose in North Carolina from State funds will remain the same under this revision. As of July 1, 1958, all chil dren being supported through the foster care program from State and/or county funds were in licensed homes with the pro tection given by the licensing process. Os the 1,192 homes cur rently licensed, a number accept children with special needs be cause of physical or mental han dicaps. The State Board has intensified the efforts through the county welfare departments to have oth er resources used for the children who have been held in jail from, time to time throughout thf State. Specialized foster homes used when needed across count; lines, have been found to be a major resource in this area. Increased concern for the wel fare of very young children in day care while their mothers work has resulted in the licens ing of 200 day care facilities with many others under study. Reflecting the steady increase in the adoption of children has been the rise in the number of children for whom adoptive placements have been made by county welfare. "Considering all phases of the public welfare program,” said Dr. Winston, "1958 stands out as a year of substantial progress in increased services in every coun ty and of splendid citizen and governmental support.” THANKFUL FOR BOOKS Miss Myrtle Waff, librarian of the Edenton Elementary School Library, expresses her apprecia tion for a set of books presented to the library by -the Sears Roe buck Company. The books, "The Children’s Home,” were present ed last week by Bill Bunch, local Sears manager. “I am sure we shall eniov using these books” said Miss Waff, “and that we will derive much pleasure and benefit from the set.” THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8. 1988. I ABUNDANT T - by Q*Al ROBERTS f CHRISTIANS NEED A SURPLUS / * V It is vital that every Christian have more than he or she needs— far more than the bare necessities of life. The Christian’s very con stitution requires it. His nature demands it, for God made him that way. The Christian is joint-heir with Christ to all of Cod’s riches and graces, which include love, peace, joy and material goods. The Chris tian needs all of the benefits which God has provided; other wise, he will be so restricted in life as to be of little value to anyone except himself. Only a surplus of material sup ply c„n reflect the “abundant life” which Jesus promised. Who is going to pay attention to a sad Christian? VV’ho is going to be inspired by a Christian who has only one coat for his back, only one pair of shoes for his feet, or who usually has only enough food to keep body and soul together? True, there are many Chris tians in such dire circumstances, but they are Christians who have not understood God’s marvelous providence. No one can be com pletely happy or effective under such circumstances, and every Christian should realize that Cod has made him to receive, enjoy and share the overflowing of the abundance of all things needful. If you are a Christian, Satan quite naturally wants to make you an unhappy Christian. He wants you to be kept in ignorance of Cod’s plan for you. He does not want you to know that Jesus has provided a surplus for you. The devil is determined to make Mrs. Etta Williams Dies Sunday Night Mrs. Etta Farmer Williams, 68, died at her home in Westover Heights Sunday night at 8:30 o’clock following a long illness.

Air Force stationed at Eglin Arr Base in Florida; a daughter, Mrs. Earl Rea of Edenton and a broth er, W. J. Farmer of Edenton.

It is God’s will that all men should come into his kingdom, but all men do not come. It is God’s will that all mankind should pros per and be in health, but all do not prosper and there is much sickness. Not all are willing to take up the cross daily and follow Jesus. All are willing enough to receive, hut not all arc willing to believe— for believing includes doing the will of God. Faith without works is dead, being alone. There are things which we must do to make our faith effective. God is a God of surplus, and j it is impossible to believe ami ' obey Cod without receiving. The • beginning of receiving is giving, for God has said that it is more' blessed to give than to receive. Believe Cod and act upon his Word for your surplus now.

Ward, Jr., Clerk Sweatees For TW Teen -ager “Simple” is the word in style for budget-minded gir's in sweater purchases. Many frills bring on accessory problems and they are often hard to keep clean, points out Miss Mary Em Lee. clothing specialist for the N. C. Agricultural Extension Service. Miss Lee continues with other suggestions: There are two types of shaping used for sweaters. Full fashion ed sweaters are knitted to fit Some sweaters are cut. then sewn. If care is taken in the cutting, the sweater should be satisfactory. The .serviceability and appear ance of a sweater may be greatly affected bv the way the seams are constructed. The best grades of sweaters have the bindings joined to the sweater by looping. This is a hand process that continues knit ting. This seam is smooth, neat and -keeps its elasticity. Any opening in the front of the knitted garmeVit should follow the lengthwise rib of the sweat er. A pood quality of grosgrain ribbon should be used. Good button holes add to the wearing qualities and general an perance. _ They should be firm and reinforced with either ribbon or knit binding. Pearl and synthetic buttons are used for most sweaters.

FILM AT ROTARY Edenton Rotarians were enter tained at last week’s meeting by Jack Habit, who presented a film taken some months ago when each member of the club tried his skill with a hula hoop. The film caused a lot of merriment as the various Rotarians went through the capers of trying to keep the hoop swinging about the body. —^i ■ Shop At Your Friendly PHTHISIC’S MARKET For Low, Low Food Costs Plus QUALITY!
