CHANGES BEING MADE ?
Welfare Recipients Get
Monthly Cuts Restored
More than 315 persons in Macon
County receiving welfare pay
ments can expect somewhat larger
checks beginning in June because
of the State Board of Welfare's
decision to restore cuts made last
fall when funds ran short.
Aid to Permanently and Totally
Disabled persons has been restored
to 80 per cent of need and Old
Age Assistance checks are back
at 85 per cent of need.
Tliese June checks will average
about $2 higher, according to
Mrs. John. Crawford, superinten
dent of Macon County's Departs
ment of Public Welfare.
The state board's action in re
storing these cuts to the approxi
mately 68,000 Tar Heels receiving
aid came about when Governor
Hodges announced at a recent
press conference that "funds had
been found to restore the cuts.''
Welfare checks in the county
will average around $35, more oi

less, depending on the individual.
Mis. Crawford said.
Mrs. Crawford explained that
the county's share of this increase |
will come about from a reduction j
of the payments made to the
State Fund for Hospitalization of
Assistance Recipients.
She pointed out that changes
of this nature require a tremend
ous amount of clercial and paper
work and that a new budget
would have been necessary except
for the fact that the local board i
left enough leeway in the present !
budget to allow for this change. !

News For
Veterans
For veterans holding GI insur
ance, the Veterans Admistration
points out that the premium rates
on permanent insurance plans re
main constant throughout the life
of the policy, but that the prem
ium rate on term policies takes a
jump every five years.
For this reason, V.A. says vet
erans with term policies ought
to consider seriously converting
their insurance to the permanent
plans.
The premium rates for perma
nent plans of insurance are gen
erally higher at the veteran's age
of issue that those for term
policies issued at those ages. V.A.
say.';, however, that while the five
year increase in premium rates j
for term policies are small at a j
veteran's younger ages, they gel t
progressively higher as his age j
increases.
an example, V.A. says the |
annual premium on dividend-par- 1
ticipating term insurance jumps
from $30.78 per $1,000 of insurance |
at the avp of 60 to $47 at age 65. 1
ar.d to $73.16 at age 70.
Since a person buys insurance |
in o:."er to provide for his Family
in future years, he ought to give i
special thought to his. circum- j
stances and costs during the later
years of his own life, V.A. says.
Accoding to V.A.'s statistica'
estimates, the average age of
World WarTl veterans is now 40.6
years. The average age of World
War I veterans has reached 65.7
years.

probably does more to decrease the finny creatures' ranks than
any other fisherman, stopped by THE PRES? office this week
with this string of 17 red horse, bass, and bream. Mr. Carter
says this brings his total for the year to 250. Last year he vows
that he craught the amazing total of 2,252 fish, most of which
he peddled along Main Street. Th's string, which weighed in at
slightly over 25 pounds, came cut of the shallows of Lake Emory.

Wool Deadline
Macon County farmers who sold
wool last year are reminded that
April 29 Is the final date for filim:
for an application on wool sold
last year. The 1959 wool markets
ing year closed March 31, lttM
This program was authorized by
Congress in 1954. It provides an
incentive for farmers to increase
their production of wool. Since its
inception, the program has ac
complished a steady increase in
wool production. Tie payment is
based on a percentage figure
which is applied to the net pro
ceeds from the farmers individual
sales. This .program has worked
to the advantage of the consum
ing public as well as to wool
farmers. Without the program the
resulting scarcity would increase
consumer prices much more than
the amount of payment. The dead
line date April 29 is the date by
which farmers who sold wool rim
ing the 1959 marketing year must
make application for the incentive
payment. This application may be
made at the county office.
