SAVE WITH U. S. WAR BONDS EVERYDAY... : EVERY PAYDAY... AT LEAST 10% AND MORE! Little Bobby, Left Without Support, Is Not Happy; Mrs. Means, Who Keeps Him, Always Grumbles [In compliance with duties imposed by the Social Security Act, Government officials have made various studies pertaining to pro visions of the Act. These studies have developed the belief that cer tain changes should be made in the Social Security Act in order to meet the needs of American people. Because the editor of the Charlotte Labor Journal feels that residents of this section wish to know what changes are contemplated and because he thinks that his readers are entitled to such information, this paper in co-operation with the Charlotte office of the Social Security Board is presenting a series of articles explaining the proposed revisions. Given below is the sixth installment of this series.—Editor.] CHILDREN WHO ARE LEFT WITHOUT MEANS OF SUPPORT Bobby lives with Mrs. Meanie, though he doesn’t like it very much; and she grumbles every day because she has another mouth t ofeed. Bobby used to stay with his aunt, but she died. Then he had no folks at all and nowhere to stay; so he just went over next door to Mrs. Meanie’s house and started living there. Before very long Mrs. Meanie, who sells things from door to door, moved into a nearby State and Bobby went along. Mrs. Meanie is really fond of the little boy, and even though she is very poor—and sort of fussy—she is glad to have him with her. One day she heard about “Aid to Dependent Children.” She learned that her cousin, who is a widow with two small children, receives a Govern ment check every month for the sup port of her children. Mrs. Meame, thinking that she might as well get the same sort of help for Bobby, went to the welfare department to put in her application. But the welfare di rector explained that cash payments for the care of children are available only for those children who live with mother, father, or some other close relative; and since Bobby is no kin at all to the person with whom he makes his home, he is not eligible for this OUR SOLEMN PLEDGE We, American workingmen and workingwomen, pledge our selves to our first duty—to defeat and destroy Axis tyranny. We of American Labor, realize that this conflict trans cends all other struggles and that every possibility of social progress depends upon the victory of the tree na tions. We, American soldiers of Production, w*o pro vide so much of the Material, Men, Mobililation, Money, and Morale, vow that our country’s war effort shall be organized without regard for any vf interests. We extend warmest Labor darity to the suffering people 'inder the of the brutal Axis conquerors. In tribute their great courage in keeping the flames of freedom burning, we declare: no ap peasement or tolerance wil lever be shown to the Fascist Hangmen. We appeal to the working people of Germany, Italy, and Japan to take matters into their own hands and settle scores with their savage Fas cist rulers. This is our common path to lasting peace and justice.

The welfare director said also that besides the question of rela tionship, there is the fact that Mrs. Meanie and Bobby recently moved into the State; and the law requires resi dence of at least a year before assist ance payments can be made. Welfare workers who come in con tact, month after month, yvith needy families find many cases where little children are in actual want because they are not eligible for aid under existing provisions of the law. The Social Security Board has recommended changes in the Social Security Act which include provisions for regular cash payments for: Children whose parents are unem ployed as well as those whose parents have died or who have deserted them or are incapacitated. Children who are in need whether or not they are living with their pa rents or with their ofrn relatives or in foster homes. Children who are between the ages of 16 and 18, if in need, whether or not the; are to school. Monthly allowances for Aid to De pendent Children are paid to the mother or father or some other rela tive who is taking care of the child. Payments are ijiade for the support of a dependent child until he reaches the age of 16, or 18 if he is still in school. The State decides who shall get this aid and how much will be paid to each family concerned. The Federal Gov ernment will pay half of whatever monthly allowance the State provides, up to $18 a month for the first child and $12 for each of the other children in the same family. The State may pay more than this amount, and it may also pay less. The Social Security Board believes that this amount of aid to dependent children is inadequate and recom mends that the maximum limit on Federal contributions be increased or removed. —V— NEXT: “Public Assistance For Those In Need.” "KNOW ns KE (MAM YOU EAT" .
