included in 10.863 checks issued to
residents of Haywood County.
Old Age Assistance, help foi
needy residents past 65 years of
age, in tne tnree years ot distri
bution, through last June 30,
amounted to $139,574.52 in this
county.
Aid to dependent children, help

352.00 irv the same period in ta
county.
Aid to the blind, in the same 36
months, .mounted to $11,976.52 it
.he county.
In the e three divisions of th
Social Security Act, the PederaJ
Government provides one-half ot
the funds and the state and coun
ties one-fourth each, with stav
equalizing fund to help the small
er counties. Prior to January 1,
1940, these three governmental
unit furnished one-third each for
aid to dependent children.
No county figures are available
for old age and survivors insu
rance, Monthly payments in this
division started after January 1,
1940, due to a 1939 amendment,
of lump-sum payments for three
years. This will, in due time, be
come one of the most important Of
the five major divisions of the
Social Security Act.
With practically accurate fig
ures, it is evident, Mr. Powell
points out, that about $289,260.00
was distributed in this county to
July 1 in four of the five major
divisions of the act, exclusive of
ojd age and survivors insurance.
In the other five divisions, class
ed as "semices," approximately
$106,370.00 has been distributed in
this county, including about $2,
125.000 in child welfare service and
about $4,130.00 in vocational re
aibilitation. Disbursement of funds in the
other three "services" is made
Through county or district health
departments, and only 76 of the
100 counties having such depart
ments June 30, 1940, participated
n this distribution. (Three other
JOunties Gates, Lincoln and Rock-j

These five "service" divisions re
Dorts are approximate. The 1940
census figures of 3,561,990 for the
state and 34,719 for this county
were used in prorating the funds,
made up of federal allotments,
matched by the state and counties.
