12,000 MORE SENT
TOR RELIEF FUNDS
Makes Total of Around
$7,000 of Government
Money Received Here
An additional allocation of funds,
this time *2.000. has been made to
Vance county for relief work in this
city and county during the first two
weeks of December, it is announced
from Ra'eigh. This makes a total of
bnout $7,000 of Federal relief money
that has been sent here in two months
to take care of emergency cases
where the need is acute and not other
wise provided for.
The fund is administered by Mrs.
W. B. Waddlll. welfare superintendent
of the county, and most of It is spent
in furnishing food and other neces
sities to families where there is un
employment and no means of subsis
tence other than from this source.
Very little cash money is given out.
The money is sent here by the State
relief organization after it has been
made available to that body by the
Fedei-al government. The last session
of Congress before the present one
appropriated $300,000,000 to be distri
buted to the States of the nation for
relief work. Nprth Carolina has been
allotted two seperate funds, the first
of $815,000, and the second, announced
last week amounting to $571,000. The
latest apportionment to Vance county
comes from the first distribution of
this latter fund which amounts to
$285,500. The State fund is adminis
tered by Dr. Fred W. Morrison, di
rector of the governor’s relief.
The largest single amount in the
latest distribution was $20,000 to
Mecklenburg county, and a number
of counties received SSOO In addition
to Vance’s $2,000 in this allocation.
Granville county received $5,000.
Frnnklin county got $2,000 and W/ar
ren was given $750.
