(Traffic is lighter on Vj-':ys ar.i Wednesdays and even nor , r - tn -rsit!e.),It's easy to. were' in need because of the re cession during part of 1958 and the effects of changes in agri colturaL patterns. The' jointly financed public assistance grants could not be used to meet these needs because by law funds were limited to ' persons too old to work, persons too young, to work or those too disabled to work. ... ' A focus on ' the various pro grams of the State Board for the aged and infirm as well as On programs of other agencies was placed by the special week ob served at mid-year under the sponsorship' of the Governors Coordinating Committee on Ag ing. . Licensing standards for board ing homes for the aged were raised further to assure the safety standards of : the tate Fire Marshal since 1954. This past year the licensing standards limited occupancy, of non-fireproof buildings in use prior to 1954 to fully ambulatory resi dents and on the first floor only. There are now 367 licensed boarding homes for the aged in 85 counties. A demonstration project of homemaker care for the aged, begun , this past year, is now bwng carried on in three coun ties Harnett, Chatham and Ala prices. I""" mine "two homemakers, ' one for white and one for Negro public assistance recipients, in each county, give periodic per sonal assistance in selected homes. This care permits the older person to remain in his own home instead of needing some . type of ; more expensive group care. The two-year pro ject, is made possible by a grant from the Doris " Duke Founda tion - supplemented by : federal funds. . J , ' ' ,- Payments for the"; hospitaliza tion of public assistance re cipients were .''raised from $7.25 per day to $8.50 per day during the past year, a forward step made possible by amendments to the Social Security Act in Aug ust, 1958. Rates which may be paid for boarding home care for public assistance recipients who need skilled nursing dare, under con tinuing medical supervision have been increased. This increase followed a study of the statewide situation conducted this past year and alo the August amendments to the Social Security Act. Effective this past October the Federal government began matching payments on the aver age instead of limiting the maxi mum which any person may re ceive in public assistance pay ments, i The effect of this amend-1 ment to the Social Security Act will be to make It possible more nearly to meet the needs of per sons in greatest destitution. The average expenditure for this pur pose in North Carolina from State funds will remain the same under this revision. As of July 1, 1958, all chil dren being supported through the fosterr care .program from State andor' county funds were in licensed homes with the pro tection given by the licensing process, Of the 1,192 homes cur rently licensed, a number accept children with spedal needs be cause of physical or mental han dicaps. The State Board has intensified the efforts through the county welfare departments to have oth er resources used for the. children who have been held in jail from time to time throughout the State. Specialized foster homes, used when needed across county lines, have been found to be a major resource in this area. ? ; Increased concern for the wel fare" .of - very tyoung children in day ; care while their mothers work has resulted in the licens- ir you can't find just what4 you want right around home and you're , going "out - of - town" to do your shopping for Easter, read why Norfolk is Jhe best place Jo go! ;" : There's a wide? selection In Norfolk's attractive stores.'
