$5 Staffing October 1st
All persons receiving /old age
assistance and aid to the blind
will get a $6 increase in their
grants beginning in October, ac-
cording to Alvin E. Norman, area
supervisor for the State (Depart-
ment of Piiblic Welfare.
Exceptions will be those who
art receiving both old age assist-
ance and old age and survivors in-
surance, since the automatic in-
crease will bo received by them
through Social Security. A lesser
increase will be available for
youngsters who are receiving aid
to dependent children, it was said.
The increase in grants is pro-
vided for by recent Congressional
Legislation which raised the fed-
era1 contribution $5 beginning in
October. This now makes a maxi-
mum grant of $55 instead of $50
available for old age assistanca
and aid to the blind.
"Naturally, this does not mean
that everyone will receive the max.
itnum grant of $55 any mere than
they are now receiving the maxi-
mum grant of $50," Norman ex-
plained. “The amount of each grant
is determined by the basic recognis-
ed needs of the individual less his
Income, and varies according to the
individual situation. It simply
means that beginning in October
no grant can go higher than $66
instead of $50."
To assure that each eligible
person on the old age assistance

Not till the loom is rilent
And the shutters cease to fly
Shall God unroll the canvas
And explain the reason why
The dark threads are as needful
In the Weaver’s skillful hand
As the threads of gold and silver
In the pattern He has planned.
