Hit or Miss?
(OaoUmud Warn Fk|» On)
44.9 percent indicated they
owned less than five acres.
What kind of people was
Sencland Community Action
going to help? School dropouts
who could not get good
employment and were unaware
of, or unconcerned with, the
help they could get.
The study revealed that
two-thirds of the families
included persons in the 19-45
age group who left school before
graduation. Compounding this
undesirable situation, only 26
percent of the population
involved in the survey was in
the 19-45 age group considered
most desirable for employment.
MOVING AWAY
Staff members conducting the
survey concluded there was an
out-migration by this age group
because of the unavailibility of
employment that would provide
a liveable income.
The rate of dropouts indicated
the necessity of additional
training to upgrade the potential
of poor people for better jobs.
Only 5.5 percent of the
respondents reported that
self-employment was their
source of income, while 29.4
percent listed government
assistance. Fanning accounted
for 15.9 percent, according to
the survey.
The survey determined that “a
fair percentage” of the families
had insurance to cover medical
bills, although too many of them
had only partial (13 percent)
coverage or no (42 percent)
coverage at all.
Medical service was available
within the county for 78 percent
of the families, but more than
half replied that they had to
travel more than ten miles for
the service. This indicated a need
for improved medical and health
services closer to home, the
report stated.
A high percentage of families
pointed out the need for more
doctors, multi-purpose medical
centers and hospitals, further
indicating the lack of
much-needed medical services.
M VS TUJT TUlLGlo
More than two-thirds of the
houses were owned by the
residents, but less than half had
running water, only 38.9 percent
had indoor toilets, only 31.9
percent had telephones and 5.5
percent had no electricity. On
the plus side, more than
three-fourths of the respondents
had televisions and radios.
Almost two-thirds of these
families received no newspaper
and of those who did, less than
one percent received a daily
paper. More than one-third of
the families had no books in
their homes and fewer than one
in four had magazines.
An average of 15 percent had
homes in good condition while
the average of homes in poor
condition was 38 percent,
pointing out the need for an
improved housing program.
The staff of Sencland
Community Action, Inc.,
Situation in '66; has her plight improved? "a*
concluded that the survey
showed “an impoverished people
who are dissatisfied with their
plight; who want to and are
willing to help improve their
condition; who need and must
have financial assistance, basic
educational, technical, and
vocational training if they are to
ever begin to realize a better way
of life.”
It was on this basis that
Sencland Community Action,
Inc., applied for funds with
which to alleviate poverty.
Easter Seal
Fund-Raising
Drive Begins
The Southeastern Chapter,
Easter Seal Society for Crippled
Children and Adults of North
Carolina Inc., will begin its fund
raising drive in March.
This society in Brunswick
county has in the past helped
many people, children and
adults, purchase braces,
crutches, orthopedic shoes, and
many other appliances that were
needed. The society purchases
only for those who cannot
afford to buy for themselves,
and there is no other program
available to them.
Businesses in Brunswick
County will be contacted for
donations. Easter Seals will be
mailed to individuals. “Won’t
you plan a Happy Easter for
yourself by making a generous
donation to the Easter Seal
Society to help someone less
fortunate than yourself,” urged
Mrs. A. P. Howry, Brunswick
county chairman, this week.
