THE PERQUTMAJNIS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N. FREDAY, FEBKUARY 13, 1953. PAGE FIVE r 3it of welfare doubles to 13 c:iiq;i dollars jjj the united states Costing More Despite Unprecedented Pros perity ' Despite the unprecedented pros perity of recent years, the U. S. now is spending more than twice as much for public assistance as it did almost 20 years ago, it was reported in a new study by the Tax Foundation, : With both public officials and tax payers concerned over increased wel fare costs, total public assistance pay ments fof the 12 months ending Au gust 31, 1952, were $2.3 billion com pared with $1 billion for a similar period in 1934, according to the (Foun dation study Improving Public Assistance.-': ' ThevincreajSe U particularly notable, said the Foundation, since the num ber of those receiving payments was virtually the same for both years 4,023,000 million an 1952 and 5,385,000 in 1934. Among the factors held responsible for the huge increase in welfare spending are the increase in the aged and child populations and the failure of earnings to keep pace with rising living costs. Moreover between 1934 and 1952, the average payment per . recipient jumped from $23.26 to $37.53 in August of the respective years. The figures are based on payments for old-age assistance, aid to depend' ent children, aid to the blind, aid to the permanently and totally disabled, and general assistance; ' The states are increasingly depend ent on Federal funds for public as sistance programs, ' said the Founda tion, noting that Federal matching grants have become the largest single source of funds. Of $2.6 billion spent for assistance in 1961, 48 per cent came from Federal sources, 41.2 per cent from state funds, and 11.7 per cent was provided locally. In North Carolina the percentage of expenditures for publio assistance was: Federal funds, 65.9 per cent; State funds, 15.6 per cent and local funds, 18.5 per cent.

"The United States serves as a spearhead to' fight for democracy! for free nations in the world," she explained. ; ' The United States has become a symbol of democracy to the world," Mrs. Roosevelt continued.

Day by day we are build' ing our own answers, and we must have faith, couraere, stamina and pa tience -above all patience. We must have a determination to make thei United (Nations Work." Mrs. Roosevelt's address was the highlight of the Third Annual World Affairs Conference in Chapel Hill.

Production In State Al most Doubled Past Three Years North Carolina's turkey crotf will be cut by 5 per cent from last year for the 1953 season if growers' intentions of January 1 are earned out. The State-Federal Crop Reporting Service reveals that a crop of 967, 000 turkeys was indicated as of Jan uary 1, compared with the all-time record of 1,018,000 raised last year. An exceptionally large turkey crop throughout the United States brought prices down while feed prices re mained if airly steady last year, but increased consumption prior to the holiday season softened the blow to some degree. Turkey production in North Caro lina has almost doubled during the past three years. In 1950, only 559,- 000 turkeys were raised followed' by a crop of 783,000 in 1951.

The safety chief bolstered his bat tle against fatalities and injuries with the flat statement that speeding last year caused the greatest number of deaths on the highway with feckless driving close behind. In 1952, Jones said, there were 40, 117 cases of speeding and 18,134 of reckless driving. Speeding alone caus ed the greatest number of fatalities. That's why knowing and obey ing traffic laws is so important," Jones continued. Seventy-eight per cent of all fatal accidents involved at least one violation of a traffic law. We refer to the fact that people can make laws designed to keep them safe and free from accidents, and then turn around and break every one of the laws they or their representa tives have made for their own pro tection.'''; y,'-.y' (Last February, Jones recalled, there were 78 killed and 14.43 injured in traffic mishaps. : "I know everyone will agree this leaves a tremendous lot of room for improvement. If every driver will only remember to know and obey all traffic laws, and assume an individual responsibility for safety, this months' fatality and injury score could be greatly reduced," he said.
