Perhaps no legislation in Amer
ican history has aroused such uni
versal interest and affects so
many individuals as the Social
Security Act passed by the last
Congress. From the very first it
was, and is now, an experiment
in meeting one of the most press
ing probelms of the age the
problem of enabling workers to
build annuities toward the day
when they are beyond the age of
profitable employment, unem
ployment insurance and equally as
important, to extend aid to the
needy aged, to the blind and to
dependent children.
Obviously, no legislation of such
scope could be perfect in all its
details. Actual administration has
development loopholes and weak
nesses. More will be found and
corrected. Legal battles may be
anticipated, particular with re
gard to those phases of the act
pertaining to retirement annuities
and unemployment insurance.
Out of it all will come a stronger
and better plan for the future.
But the public assistance fea
tures of the act, aid for the needy
aged, the blind and dependent
children are already firmly es
tablished. These features are
based on the long-standing prin
ciple of Federal-aid to-the states.
The Federal Government is giv
ing the machinery and funds to
help .the states aid their needy.
The states themselves, through
state laws, must put the machin
,ery in motion. The state of North
Carolina is at the moment en-

gaged in the effort to write its
law, in accord with minimum
Federal requirements, and raise
the necessary state funds to
match Federal moneys.
In the brief space of this ar
ticle, I shall endeavor to answer a
few of the many questions that
have come to me with regard to
one phase of the act, that wElch
relates to assistance for aged per
sons who are needy. One question
stands out.
Why must we have at this late
date some form of Federal assist
ance for aged persons in dire cir
cumstances? The answer is sim
ple. in bygone days families were
a compact unit, with sometimes
as many as three or four genera
tions living together or at close
call. Family resources were pool
ed and the younger generations
cared for those belonging to the
older. Today families are scat
tered. Responsibilities are heavier.
Modern life has become more
complex. As a result, many re
sponsible persons, millions in fact,
through no fault of their own are,
at the twilight of life, in dire cir
cumstances. States cannot solve
the problem alone.
What is meant by aid for the
aged needy? Cash payments by
the state to said persons who are
in need, and whose applications
for assistance are approved by the
state.
What is the basis of Federal
participation? When a state has
written into law an approved plan
for aid to the aged needy, the
Federal Government makes grants
equal to one-half of the total ex
penditures of the state or its sub
divisions. However, Federal con
tributions may not apply to any
monthly payments exceeding S3O.
Thus, if the state of North Caro
lina provides $15.00 per month for
example, the Federal Government
adds another $15.00, and the bene
ficiary receives $30.00. Federal
grants may not be used ifc mak
ing payments to persons under 65
or to inmates of public institu
tions.
Who is eligible? All persons
who meet the requirements fixed
by the state law.
What are the requirements as
to age, citizenship and residence?
Until January 1, 1940, a state law
may require that an applicant be
as much as 70 years of age; after
that d&te no state law may impose
an age requirement in excess of
65 years, which is the generally
approved minimum age. No citi
zen of the United States may be
excluded on the grounds that his
or her citizenship is not of long
enough standing. No one who has
been a resident of a state for five
out of the nine years preceding
application, and who has lived in
the state continously for the year
immediately before applying, may
be denied assistance on the
ground that they have not lived in
the state long enough.
What provisions with reference
to property held by beneficiary?
States usually provide that per
sons with property not assessed
above a certain value may receive
oldrage assistance, provided they
do not have sufficient income for
their own support. This provision
makes it possible for the aged to
continue living in their own home.
If there are a husband and wife,
the home may, as a rule, remain
in their possession until the death
of both. Many states make some
provision for collecting from a
beneficiary's estate, after hi s
death, any amount up to the total
of assistance payments made to
him during his lifetime. To repay
the Federal Government for its
share in the assistance payments,
one-half of all such collections
made with respect to assistance
furnished under an approved plan
is deposited in the United States
Treasury to the credit of Federal
old-age assistance appropriations.

fim Elkin, N. C., February 11. —(United Pest )—The management of the Carolina Ice & Fuel Com-

by selling coal on credit!
As a result of this amazing discovery, Mr. L. G. Meed, manager-in-chief, took a strong dose \ I I
of ammonia and then called the United Pest representative. "As a result of our discovery," he \ I
' stated, "we are herewith and herenow announcing that from this moment on all coal will be sold \l I
■ ■ only for cash—said cash to be paid before the coal is unloaded. This new ruling applies to J I
one and all!" I

and besides, he'd rather fish anyway. Of course, it was pointed out, everyone connected with ■
