financing, and as a result the Social ]
Security Act was created
While the social legislation ranches
into nearly every phase of the re
lief problem, the national act pro
visions are contingent upon action
by states in cooperating with the
program, with one or two excep
tions. where unformity must be
maintained to eliminate discrimina
tion between industry in different
states or sections of the country
The speaker pointed out that the
individual states could pass or re
bacco and who was later entered
in a Washington hospital for the
treatment of syphilis, said following
his re arrest and return to the coun
ty jail yesterday.

of a window at the hospital, but ]

two weeks. Bland did not seem to
think toast and eggs were sufficient
to keep even a sick man alive.

ject legislation coinciding with that
embraced in the social security pro
viding joint aid to the blind, to de
pendent children in homes of dis
tant relatives and other welfare un
dertakings. The main act as it will
apply on a national scale provides
(j) old-age benefits for all those
employed in commerce and indus
try (with certain exceptions), be
ginning in 1042; (2) old-age assist
ance for unemployed persons and
those who reach 85 before 1SM2, to
begin if and when the state provides
for matching dollar-for-dollar with
the Federal government; <?>> un
employment insurance for those em
ployed in firms with eight or more
workers.
Results of this far-reaching legisla
lion, according to Miss Engle. will
be a stabilization of budgets, the
elimination to a great extent of the
irregularities in production and con
sumption- It will serve as a reserve
fund from which the unemployed
will be aided m meeting grocery
bills and house rent. While the act
will not prevent unemployment, it
will mitigate it, the speaker de
clared
In handling the old-age pension
accounts, the federal government |
will hold them in Washington, where j
credits will be entered, regardless
of how often the worker moves or'
where he moves to. If he dies be
fore he is eligible to receive old-age
benefits, the amount he has paid in
full will be turned over to the per
son's estate.
The speaker, for several terms a
member of the State of Maryland
assembly, said in closing that we
effect plans for handling traffic on
our streets and highways, and in
sisted that careful planning should
be provided to meet economic con
ditions and assure those who have
worked during all their early life a
means of subsistence in their old
age
The conference held here was the
largest held in any of the districts
of the state, and was described as
very successful by Miss Mary
Taylor, president of the conference
and head of Martin County welfare
activities
