Suggests NYA Reach
Younger Age Students
Editor, The Times:
I wish the NYA would get a heart
and give country boys and girls under
16 a break. There are Borne in nearly
every school between 14 and 16 who
can and do work and whose help in
their schools would make a big differ
ence to the schools and themselves
and families. If this short comment
should start something, I shall be glad
to try to justify this suggestion at
more length, but I hope others will
take up the cudgels.

Carr, Whitmire, and Mrs. Verner
Will Supervise Social Security
F. Brown Carr, of Pispah Forest, Gas
ton Whitmire, of Cherryfleld. and Mrs.
Hattie B. Vomer, of Brevard, have
been named as members of the Tran
sylvania county welfare board to super
vise operations under the Social Se
curity Act.
Mr. Whitmire was named last month

for a term of two years on the board;
Mr. Carr was appointed by the state
for a one-year term, and Mrs. Veroer
was named by the first two members

meeting of the welfare board and the
county commissioners to he held next
Monday.
The Welfare board and the County
commissioners will act In an advisory
capacity at all times to the welfare su

rity funds will he made after they have
heen approved by the supervisor and
the board.
While the board of county commis
sioners will levy for the one-fourth of
the cost of the Social Security benefits.
It is very likely that It will be several
months before payments to any Indi
viduals In this county can be made,
County Accountant Ralph Lyday said
Tuesday, inasmuch as funds will have
to be secured from the 1037 tax levy
before they are paid out. The state and
federal portion of the benefits do not
become available unltl the county Is
nble to take care of its share.
While original plans were to pay up
to $30 per month to old people, and
up to $18 per month for children. Mr.
I,yday said that he had received of
ficial notice from the state that first
payments would by only $12.20 per
month for old people, and $5.65 per
month for children's aid. Of this amount
the county will be required to pay one
fourth, or $3.05 for the aged, and $1.41
for children.
As soon as the supervisor is selected,
applications for the assistance may be
filed, and payments will begin to those
who are termed eligible as soon as
funds are available.
The following statistics have been re
ceived by The Times from the state
