A Mgtier proportion of families
in North Carolina have some re
sources in addition to the aid to
dependent children (ADO grant
because of the department's em
ptosis upon the older children and
tlw mother working when at all
possible.
Delinqulncy Low
JuVenilc delinquency is almost
non existent in ADC tamilies and
many of these children have been
outstanding in scholarship, citizen
ship, and leadership.
The study revealed the fact that
a larger percentage ? 16 per cent
?of the fathers of children receiv
ing ADC grants were in prison than
in many states. The percentage oi
children born out of wedlock in
ADC families is not unduly high
in comparison with tfie percentage
of children born out of wedlock
n. the total population. In fait,
the percentage of A IX! children
born out of wedlock is about the
same as the percentage of all
children in the population born
out of wedlock.
In North Carolina there are
about 45,000 children receiving aid
to dependent children out of the
total of approximately 1,600,000
children under 18 years of age.
In comparison with many South
ern states, that is a very small num
ber, approximately 30 per 1 .000. In
Louisiana the proportion is 59 per
1,000; in Florida 53 per 1.000;
Kentucky, 50; Tennessee, 46: and
Alabama 44 per 1,000.
The ADC program represents
one segment only, but a large seg
ment, of the services to children
which are being provided by the
State Board in cooperation with
the federal government and the
100 counties. The program, be
gun in this State in 1937, seeks to
aid children in their own homes
and has been instrumental in keep
ing children with their mothers in
over 90 per cent of the cases.
Death is Factor
The death of the father is the
major cause which occasions the
need for ADC in a family, accoun
ting for 28 per cent of the North
Carolina cases. Incapacity of the
father and the resulting inability
to support his children accounts for
23 per cent of the cases. Almost
one out of five cases, the study
shows, are brought about by the
father's being in an institution,
which in most cases means the fath
er is. in prison.
Only IS per cent of the cases
are occasioned by desertion. This
contrasts with the national picture
where incapacity of the father is
the major cause, followed by de
sertion and then death as the third
cause. Only 8 percent of the fath
ers are in institutions, taking the
nation as a whole.
Hudson Rescues Lady in Danger
An act of violence precipitates "Gun Fury," now in color by Tech
nicolor. Artist shows Rock Hudtoa, right, llonna Reed and Phil
Carey in a scene from the Columbia picture.
In many counties there is an in
crease in the ADC vase load alter
every term of Superior Court be
cause of the father who is sent 10
prison, leaving the children and
the mother to be cared for by aid
to dependent children Approxi
mately one sixth of the total cost
of the ADC program in North Car j
olina is made necessary by the
fathers' being in prison. This j
amounts to over $150,000 per
month or well over a million and i
a half dollars a year.
Average monthly payments in j
the AIX' program are remaining j
fairly constant around $57 per tam
ily. This is a little over $15 p*-*
person. The average monthly pay
ment per family in the nation as
a whole is about $82 with a smal
ler number of children in these
families than there are in North
Carolina families. A great many of !
tfie Southern states pay higher
average grants than are paid in
this State. Georgia pays $72;
Maryland pays $9li; and Tennes
see pays $67.
The average family on ADC in
the country as a whole receives
assistance for 24 months, while in
North Carolina the average is 1H
months, the study indicated. The
study showed further that many
ADC children have received honors
in school and in youth organiza
tions and u number have received
college scholarships.

Roller Skates
New York (AP)? Soviet authori
ties are now pondering the ques
tion of whether or not to produce
roller skates, Moscow newspapers
reaching here say. Uj) to now the
Soviet Union hasn't had any ex
cept a few pairs imported from
abroad.
The problem arose when Soviet
ice skating star Rimma Zhukov,
who uses roller skates purchased
outside the country to train in the
summer when her native Sverd
lovsk has no ice, sent hers to be
repaired.
The repair workshop in Sverd
lovsk which made the repairs got
the idea that other Russians would
like some too and make an cxperi
mental pair which was presented
to the "experts council" for ap
proval. The application is under
consideration. Izvestia reports that
the demand for roller skates
among Soviet athletes is 4,im
mense."
Rhodes Island has 400 miles of
coastline.
