New Welfare Policy Formed ASSEMBLY'S ACTION OPENS DOOR FOR STATE TO GIVE AID TO MIDDLE AGE BRACKET Raleigh, April 27—A new welfare policy was set up for the state by the 1949 General Assembly. It was done on an "if" basis, but it opened the door for the state to give general aid to persons between 16 and 65.' Heretofore the state has provided funds only for aid to children under 16 and to persons over 65. But after quite a fight—both in the joint appropriations committee and the Legislature itself—the Gen eral Assembly earmarked $700,000 for general assistance during the next biennium. However, the appropriation is contingent upon the Federal gov ernment's providing matching funds. GREAT 2 FOR 1 BUY!

This Legislature appropriated a total of $9,532,000 for welfare pur poses during 1949-51, . compared with $5,983,478 being spent during I the current two years. ! Of the new appropriations, $50 000 will go in caring for children in foster homes; $5,248,000 for old age assistance; $2,934,000 for aid to dependent children; $600,000 for aid to county welfare administra tion, and $700,000 for general as sistance. This biennium $32,545 is being spent for children in foster homes; $3,863,125 (or old age assistance; $1,722,808 for aid to dependent children; $360,000 for aid to county welfare administration, and nothing for general assistance. The new appropriations will in crease average grants for dependent children from $13.90 a child to $18 a child. Average grants for the aged will be boosted from $20.17 to $25 a month. i The joint appropriations commit tee added $940,000 to recommenda tions of the Advisory Budget com mission. Of this, $700,000 was the general assistance fund and the re ! maining $240,000 was for increased aid to county welfare administra tion. The latter fund will be used primarily for increased salaries for ■ welfare workers. Both boosts drew the ire of econ omy advocates. Main argument a ! gainst the general assistance was ; that it put the state in a new field and that demands would grow by ' leaps and bounds in the future. It did not pass until the contingency clause was inserted. i Backers of the program said it was inconsistent for the state to help needy persons under 18 and over 65 and to forget people be tween these groups no matter how badly they might need help. They quoted the statement of the Adivsory Budget commission in sub mitting the recommended budget. "An enlightened state cannot af ford to do less than its best in the care of its needy. The programs re commended for dependent children and for the aged express approval of the work in these fields and the attitude of a progressive state to ward those in need."
