With the cooperation and hard work now exist ing in the Center Hill Home Demon stration Club of Chowan County, this hard and rough road has at last be come a passable one.

C i'Jlztm Col been able to meet the levels set for it by the 1949 General Assembly, accord ing to the State Board of Public Wel fare. - The Board has studied figures on the financial assistance program, which showed .that the average re cipient of an old age assistance pay ment in this state receives $22.21 a month in comparison to the $24 set by the Legislature two, years ago as the average grant. In addition, the average payment per child for aid to dependent children is now only $15.75 per month, despite the $18 minimum level set by the 1949 legislators. Dr. Ellen Winston, Commissioner of Public Welfare, told the State Board that the main reason for the inability of the state to reach and maintain the $24 and $18 minimum levels monthly was the increase in the num ber of persons seeking such assistance. More than 3,000 additional recipients were added to each program, old age assistance and aid to dependent chil dren, during the calendar year 1950. "Our inability to reach the minimum levels set by the 1949 General Assem bly is doubly regrettable," Dr. Winston told the board, "when the greatly-increased cost of living is taken into ac count. At a time when some upward adjustments to meet these increased costs should be made, we find that we are not even able to grant the amounts which were considered to be absolutely necessary by the General Assembly two years ago." Some counties, she pointed out, pay less than 80 of the minimum amount needed by recipients, while only 24 counties are able to pay 100 of the nedds of all their old age assistance recipients. North Carolina continues to rank near the bottom among the States in size of average grants for both old age assistance and aid to de pendent children. (Mrs. Josiah Proctor, Mrs. Joe Ayseue,!
