I E. GERALD ALLEN'
I A Tribute
I Nearly two thousand years age
| there lived and moved among men
He who is regarded by millions at
the perfect Portrayer of the Supreme
Architect of the Universe. Countless
volumes have been written concerning
Him. but perhaps none better
summarizes His life among men
that the very simple statement, "He
went about doing good". He was the
Champion of the underprivileged.
He was the Protector of the defenseless
and the aged. And He was the
Friend of little children. When ne
held in his arms a speechless babe
upon whom he spoke the benedictions
of heaven. God was more like
Himself than in winds, and waves,
and clouds. The subject of this
humble tribute, E. Gerald Allen
mirrored forth these qualities of his
Master.
Gerald Allen was an active Mason
from the time he became of lawful
ate and was at the time of his
death the honored Senior Warden
of Johnston-Caswell Lodge. Not all
Masons are members of the craft.
To be a Mason one has first to be
Prepared in his heart, and had
Gerald Allen never take a masonic
obligation, he would have still been
a Mason at heart because he pos5esscd
those qualities which make
a man a Mason. He was in every
sense a worthy member of the craft
but was most distinguished for his
charity which was extended not only
to his bretheren but to all persons
who had need of a friend.
This community shall ever remember
him as the friend of childTen.

To Pay Others From $2.00

TO TAKE $106 A MONTH
Striving to meet its responsibility
as economically as possible, the
Board of County Commissioners
struck the names of 51 charity
patients from the list of 86 turned
over to the county for aid by the
Emergency Relief Office on Monday
morning and ordered that those

$2.00 to $4.00 per month rather
than approximately $4.50 per week
as had been the case when they
were getting help through the government's
generosity.
The 35 names left on the outside
pauper list will increase the county's
expenditures by $106.00 per
month. This money is to be paid
from an appropriation of $1200
which was made by the commissioners
for relief purposes when the
budget was being made out several
months ago.
Had the list been adopted as it
wa$ turned over to the county and
the same generosity accorded, the
county would have been called on
to spend $1440 per month for relief
purposes. These people who were
on the direct relief roll were receiving
an average of $4.50 per week
when they were being cared for by
the Emergency Relief Office.
In shaving down the list, the
commissioners studied carefully the
names 01 tnose wno were nstea as
charity patients and wherever it
appeared to them that an appropriation
was not absolutely necessary
the name was marked through.
