This Week Set
To Honor State's
Aging Citizens
Governor Hodges' official state
ment dedicating the week of July
13-19 as a week in which to honor
North Carolina's aging citizens
finds both interest and varied ac
tivity in Carteret County, accord
ing to a statement by Miss Geor
gie Hughes, county superintendent
of public welfare.
Governor Hodges said, "It is a
pleasure to designate the week of
July 13-19, 1958, as a period for
special attention to the problems
of the aging. I urge all North Caro
linians to observe this week by
showing their personal concern for
the health, welfare, and happiness
of our older citizens at home, at
work, at leisure, and especially by
expanding opportunities for the
able-bodied for active participation
in community affairs, by becom
ing better informed about avail
able services for our aging citi
zens, and by visiting those who
are confincd by illness or incapa
city.
"It is my further hope that the
officials and other leaders of our
cities, towns, and rural areas will
take occasion to honor our aging
citizens in suitable fashion, so that
they may realize how much their
contributions are appreciated."
There are a total of 330 persons
65 or older who are receiving old
age assistance through the county
[welfare department, Miss Hughes
said. These persons have been
found to be in need, according to
a uniform budget used state-wide,
she added. The average monthly
grant given to these persons is $39.
Approximately 85 per cent of this
amount is federal funds with state
and county funds providing the
balance.
One of the specialized services
provided through the county wel
fare department and the State
Board of Public Welfare is counsel
as to suitable licensed boarding
homes for the aged, Miss Hughes
said. There are now over 350 li
censed homes in S3 counties. In
Carteret County there are two li
censed boarding homes for adults.
More than 286,000 North Caro
linians are 65 years of age or older
and this number fs increasing by
approximately 7,000 persons each
year. This trend places a heavy
responsibly on the state, county,
municipal and private agencies
that must meet the growing need
for housing, economic opportunity,
medical and health care.
