hotion that was unanimously

from the western part ot the
State and that they stated rising
welfare costs were creating a
financial crisis in their counties.
Under the present system the
State and counties share the non
Federal share of the program.
When the General Assembly
approves the total welfare
budget, it makes the county's
share of the funds mandatory.
The only real source of income
for counties is the ad valorem
property tax which has
limitations.
Commissioner of Social Ser
vices Clifton M. Craig told the
Board that 36 States already
have a state administered
welfare system and the Virginia
legislature just recently voted to
change their system. He also
stated that some counties have
already run out of welfare money
for this year and are faced with a
significant budget increase for
the next year.
Under a state system the state
would maintain offices
throughout the state to provide
social services and financial aid
to its citizens. This would relieve
the counties of all financial
responsibility in maintaining its
present county departments of
social services and these funds
could be converted to other
critical needs.
The State Board of Social
Services Wednesday approved a
record budget request for the
next biennium of $569 million
This means an increase of $178
million over the current Men
nium budget of $391 million.
The counties will face an in
crease of approximately $28
million, the State $33 million, and
the Federal government $117

the Perquimans County Board of
Commissioners at their May
meeting here Monday.
We want to tell you what we
have done and that we have been
strongly encouraged by the State
Department of Public In
struction to come to you, leaders
of our community, to seek your
commitment in this effort
because we cannot function
effectively without your support
In June, 1969, we were one of
eight arts groups in North
Carolina to be awarded a mat
ching Salary Assistance Grant,
our being in the amount of $4,667
to be matched by $2,333.00 by the
Area Arts Council, presently
consisting of eight counties.
After becoming incorporated
and obtaining tax-exempt status
as stipulated by the N. C. Arts
Council for receipt of the Salary
AssistanceGrant, the Albemarle
Area Arts Council held its first
annual membership meeting in
September to establish its Board
of Directors with a represen
tative from each of the eight
member councils; to elect of
ficers; to review and amend the
year's operating budget as
adopted by the incorporators;
and to hear a report of programs
and exhibits available to the
area.
The Council conducted an area
membership , drive through
which we sold memberships.
Without going into figures, the
result was that we fell short of
our goal, but still managed a
profit to be used for operating
expenses.
To further the aims of the Arts
Council and to meet our financial
obligations, we have assisted in
bringing a professional New
York group to five of the eight
counties in seven Shakespearean
performances, a first for the
Albemarle; assisted in bringing
two performances from the N. C.
School of the Arts into the Area,
programs by touring groups
from this school having been
