Charles McNeill, county wel
fare officer, states that all those
expecting old age assistance or
dependent children aid should
know that no blanks w-lll be
available for application for aid
until after July 1, and even then
that there itlll Be time to take
care Of everybody without any
rush since the help wrill be given
on a Ixmis of teal need and
15^ age. ■'
' According to Mr. McNeill, only
limited funds are available and
there will be no set amount of
money given each, family. The aid
will be given after thorough in
vestigations and only where the
need is actual. The case worker
will recottumend the budget but
it will have to be approved by
the county commissioners and the
county welfare board.
Mr. McNeill makes this an
nouncement because of the fact
that her office Is being .swamped
with those who consider them
selves eligible and are ready now
to begin benefittlng by the social
security laws. Not, however, be
fore July 1 will any work begin
on giving assistance and then she
is anxious for the public to re
member that each case will be in
vestigated and funds awarded on
a basis of need.
Mr. McNeill further stated that
U is not necseaaiirthat aq.jtsiRi-
cant call at the office on July 1
but that the opportunity to ap
ply will be o.pen from that time
on and it is not desired that eve
ry one desiring to make applica
tion call on that date. .Applica
tion on the first date that appli
cations may he made will not be
an advantage to the applicant as
each case must he thoroughly in-)

or not real need exists.

Monday, August 80, has been
tentatively set by the Wllkea
county board of -education as tha
date for beginning the 1937-88
school term, It was learned today
from C. B. Eller, county super
intendent of schools.
However, if there is any wide
spread dissatisfaction concerning
this date it may be changed later,
Mr. Eller said, and those who
do not believe that August 30 is
the logical starting date will be
heard.
By starting on August 30 half
of the eight-months’ term would
l)e coimpleted by Christmas and
would insure a comparatively ear
ly closing date in the spring.
The county board of education
and Supt. Eller desire that the
schools have a uniform starting
date, a system which promoteu
efficiency in the schof.l system
and which will l.e very practical
in distribution of textbooks.
In tihds connection Mr. Eller
remarked that textbooks in the
elementary grades will be fur
nished without cost this year and
that 'basil textbooks in high
schools will be rented as during
the past year.
He said, however, that the
free textbooks In’ the elementary
grades one through seven would
