Mr. Erwin fur ther stated that under the school attendance law as amended by the 194 5 General Assembly all children are required to attend school until their sixteenth birth day.

Mr. Shuford stated that em ployers who plan to hire a minor under 18 years of age must se cure an employment certificate from the county welfare superin tendent before, not after, the minor begins working, in order to comply with the child labor law. Each certificate Issued pre scribes certain working hours and periods during the day in which the minor may legally work depending on the age and sex of the minor.

All three memibers of the board composed of P. J. Brame, chairman, F. C. Johnsoin, and C. C. Sidden, were present ’The minutes of the prev ious meeting were approved. CHiarlee C. McNeill, secretary to the hoard, advised them that he had received new public as sistance allotment from the state office, which was effective Oc tober 1, 1946. ’The new allot- metnt provides sufficient money to pay an average Old Age As sistance grant of $15.97 to 700 recipients and an average Aid to Dependent Qhildren grant of $27.50 per family to 170 cases. This allotment represents a con siderable Increase, -both In aver age grant and in number of re- ‘ cipients over the previous allot ment which provides for an aver age OAA grant of |12 to 640 recipients and an average ADC grant of $25 to 130 families. This increased allotment was brought about by an amendment to the Federal law which pro vides a more liberal participation by the Federal government. ’The board was also advised that the state office was anxious fof the county to increase its average OAA grant to $15 and AiDC grant to $24 by the first of Decemiber. The iboard was ad vised that the county is now paying an average grant of slight ly over $12 for OAA and in order to increase the average grant by Decembsri 1 the State Office bad sninsetod I tkak~‘dswlr reviews he t sore cggeg which had been reviewed or ipassed on by the board during the past five months. It was pointed out that the allowance for food, clothing, and certain other requirements had been increased by the state of fice to be effective Sept. 15, 1946, and by applying these more liberal allowances It would re sult in an increase In grant for both OAA and ADC. After some discussion, the board decided not to make the desk reviews on cas es passed on during the past five months since a large number of pending applications should be disposed of first. If, after passing on all the pending applications, additional money is available, the matter of Increasing the grants of those already receiving assist ance could be given further con sideration. Mr. McNeill also told the Board that they were expecting to be given an additional allot ment for administration from the state office, which might be suf ficient to employ at least one ad-1 dltional worker. The matter of office space was discussed, at which time the secretary point ed out that It was already over crowded and that if additional personnel were employed that the situation would be even worse. The matter of trying to secure office space outside the courthouse was discussed since it was apparent that no addition al room was available In court house; however, the Board did not come to any definite decis ion in this matter. Mr. McNeill discussed with the board , a memorandum which had been received from the state of fice advising that the North CaroUna Medical Care Commis sion was now in a position to pay $1 per day towards the hospital expenses of any individual per son who was referfed by the Welfare department to any ap proved hospital. The board was advised that the' Wilkes hospital waa on the approved list. ’The board was advised that the min imum charity rate at any of the hospitals at the present time was |6 per day and that after October 1. 1946, the Medical Care Commission would pay $1 for each hospital day which ar mount would be matched by an additional dollar from the Duke endowment which would leave a minlmnot Of |8 to' be paid by the Welfare Department tp:, some other agency.
