: Major strides have been made
in 1961 in strengthening tile over
all) services of public welfare in
North Carolina, . according to
St)ate Public Welfare Commissioner;-EUen
Winston.
As a result of legislation enact
ed by the 1961 General Assembly,
the hospitalization program for
h..V.1u ubIXMa MwninfMufiai' tarn
extended to provide for hospital
isation of persons who meet the
eligibility requirements but who :
are not eligible for a monthly as
sistance grant. This has made it
possible to secure Federal funds
for payments to hospitals for Ahis
particular group of medically in
digent persons. Beginning July 1
the State Board of Public Welfare
could pay $16 a day for bos; Itali
