It will be the Aid to Dependent Children Act, which became law through action of the 3937 Gr^prai Assembly.

The Act provides that children eli gible for benefits shall either have boeu born or resided within North Car oiina for af least otv year prior to the tiling of an application for assist ance, or that <he mother of the appli cant also has been: a resident of the state for * similar period, and that she has not the means for a docent livelihood for herself and her chillren.

One third of tJie cost, of jidir.inistering toe Aid to Dependent Children Act will be borne by the counties, with the state aixl federal governments also absorbing one-tlurd ^ach. The Act provides, however, that in order that, no injustice may be caused more thar* $65 n*?y be paid "in extra ordinary circumstances in which it appears to the satisfaction of the Hoard that a total 01 $65 per month would bo insufficient to securethe pur pose above set forth.' ?* "The Social Security Ac', in pro-j viding aid '0 dependent children, gives evidence of long raqpc p.anning for the future," recently sail Mrs. W. T. Bost, Commissioner of Charities and Public Welfare '*It stands out as the greatest opportu riy for construc tive work with children tha-, has ever been available to the naltion.

"In North Carolina, after July V| Mrs. Bost continued, "passage of the Act means that instead of adding only: 300 mothers' aid families a year??a we, have been doing the paist few j years?wo will bo able to aid more than 7,750 families involving appro*-j irnatelv 21,700 children.
