Why Investigations I Give You Texas
In Public Assistance b, boyce house
Are Necessary
By Emma Rennolds, Sup. Area 14
When a citizen applies for public
assistance—which in Texas includes
Old Age Assistance, Aid to the
Needy Blind, and Aid to Dependent
Children—the State Department of
No romance and fun to getting
out a weekly paper?
I remember when I used to write
all the news for the daily paper in
Eastland, then take off most of one
day each week to go over to Ranger
and help Rip Galloway get out a
small weekly he was issuing in com-

Public Welfare is then required by i petition with the Ranger daily.
Since, in the Bible, there are
recorded instances when God’s
influence directed his people
in war, causing death and de-
struction to the enemy, seems
like the conscientious objectors
might reason that if God, in
his wisdom, brought victory to
iis people when they were
threatened with defeat and de-
struction, that in some in-
stances—for example, the bat-
tle to save freedom and reli-
gion on earth—war might not
be objectionable to their sensi-
tive consciences.
law to investigate his eligibility and
determine the amount of his entitle-
ment. Many wonder, “Why does the
law require investigations?”
The federal government puts up
half the money on condition that the
state set up certain qualifications
for eligibility. Within the framework
of these federal requirements, the
state defines who is eligible to re-
ceive assistance. Sound public policy
requires that the government not
only secure the facts which sup-
port or disprove eligibility but that
these facts be placed on record.
Then field workers may change
without endangering the aid begin
given. Federal and state auditors
can verify by inspection of the re-
cords that eligibility has been es-
tablished and public funds are be-
ing paid out in accordance with the
law.
Actually the investigation is sim-
ply a study of the needs, resources,
and other information about the per-
son applying for assistance. Many
people have a mistaken idea that an
investigation is an unnecessary in-
quiry into an applicant’s personal
affairs. The public welfare depart-
ment has no commission to probe in-
to any facts not directly related to
establishing eligibility and determ-
ining the amount needed for the pur-
chase of the necessities. Investiga-
Never will I forget the night when
we put out an "extra” on the second
Dempsey-Tunney fight—(the battle
of the long count). That after-
noon, Rip had gone through the
“poster paper” by hand—the extra
was to be printed on colored paper
—and removed all the yellow sheets
as he didn’t want to be called a
“yellow journalist.”
Three pages were set and “made
up” early; all that was needed was
the news of the fight. We knew our
friends over at tjie daily also plan-
ned an extra and we hoped against
hope—with our little press pitted
against their big high-speed one—
that we could beat them on the
street.
When the first few copies of our
paper had been run off, Galloway
grabbed them and headed for the
news stand. By that time, another
six or seven copies had been printed,
so I seized them and started for the
news stand, too.
I was hatless, coatless, tieless,
hair disheveled, face streaked with
printer’s ink. Somebody yelled,
“Boy let me have one of those pa-
pers”—and I sold all of them before
I could get to the stand.
Yes, sir, we beat the daily out.

In an investigation, the first
source of information is the per-
son who is asking for help. He is
in possession of the greatest
amount of information about him-
self and a local welfare office does
not get in touch with any persons
or agencies until after full informa-
tion has been obtained from the ap-
plicant. When he first comes to a
welfare office to file an application
for assistance, the field worker ex-

the person who is asking for aid
and, whenever possible, with his

department to keep all information
concerning the applicant strictly
confidential. This protects the appli-

guards the rolls from political use.

This observer has known Victor
Cornelius quite a few years, begin-
ning away back when Cornelius was
painting signs in Eastland—where
he still jives. But now he’s making
around a thousand dollars a month—-
and all because he thought of con-

Now his service has spread to al-
most every state in the Union; your

store counters, even in Hollywood.

of each person’s circumstances guar-
antees that public funds are proper-
ly spent. For those who are in want,
it means that their needs can be bet-
ter met and that the funds available
for thejr assistance are not diverted
to people who do not need help.
The war situation has already
created special needs for financial
assistance and service to civilians,
some of which will be met through
existing programs. Public assistance
agencies throughout the country are
attempting to simply their proce-
dures so that investigations may be
made with a minimum of delay, and
necessary assistance and services
may be made available promptly as
needed, and without confusion or
waste of funds.

Household Hints
The following wall paper cleaner
recipe is announced by the Louisiana
Experiment Station. Two cups of
flour, one cup of warm water, two
tablespoons of salt, two tablespoons
of kerosene and four tablespoons of
ammonia. Mix well together and
cook in a double boiler, over boiling
water untl the paste no longer
sticks to the hands when rolled be-
tween the fingers. Cool in a cover-
ed pan. The cleaner should be used
on one strip of paper at a time rub-
bing in one direction and folding the
oough over as its surface becomes
soiled. Overlap each strip cleaned
so as to avoid streaks.

Farmers Visit Fields
To See Successful
Growing of Vetch
The farmers of Freestone Coun-
ty went on an educational field
trip April 2 for the purpose of seC-
ing what successes some of the lo-
cal farmers were having in the
growing of vetch. They wanted to
learn directly from the farmers juat
what they did and how they did it.
About thirty men gathered on
the courthouse rjuare at Fairfield.
Transportation was arranged fot all
who cared to go. The group left
Fairfield in time to ltach the farm
of W. D. Black one mile west of Dew
on Highway 179 at 9:15 A M. Mr.
Black had a good demonstration
ranged for them.
The farmers were given a little
time to view the growing vet:h and
were then assembled in a group
now numbering about 35 men, for a
short discussion. Groups represent-
ed and participating in I he tour were
the A. A. A., S. C. S., the Extension
Service, and individual farmers. The
County Agent was requested to in-
troduce the speakers.
M. K. Thornton, Extension cl enl-
ist from the State Extension Service
of A. and M. College of Texas, was
first presented. Mr. Thornton is a
vetch enthusiast and made some very
timely remarks on the subject.
A. P. Goforth, District Supervisor
working with the State S. C. S., fol-
lowed Mr. Thornton and gave some
very definite figures on increased
yields of field crops following a cov-
er crop of vetch plowed under as
green manure.
Mr. Black followed with abrief
but concise statement on the
methods he used in soil preparation,
fertilizing, and planting of seed.
The meeting was then thrown open
for questions and discussions.
The group left the Black farm in
time to arrive at Howard Biggs’
farm six miles south of Teague at
10:15. Mr. Biggs, who is one of the
most progressive and outstanding
farmers in Freestone County, has
been planting vetch as his major
soil builder since 1932. When one
hears that Mr. Biggs produces fifty
bushels of peanuts, fifty bushels of
corn, and 300 pounds of cotton per
acre, they might think that he op-
erates a choice river-bottom farm.
This is not true. His is just like the
other farms south of Teague—roll-
ing hillsides with a soil ranging
from sandy to clay and loams. Here
is his secret: Terraces, legume cov-
er crops, plenty of fertilizer, plenty
of good common horse-sense, and a
desire to succeed, all worked into a
plan known as good farm manage-
ment.
Mr. Biggs by request was the
principal speaker at his farm. With-
out any previous preparation for his
talk, he handled his subject like a
veteran and without a trace of ego-
tism. As he proceeded step by step,
questions were fired at him by mem-
bers of the group. Th. n. M
answered very pointed^
