The new procedure is limited to three forms. The ap- plicant signs one as his formal ap-‘ plication. The second form is a report of |investigation into “his eligibility to receive Old Age Assistance and a budget of his needs. The third form | is a report by a physician, if one is available, describing the appiicant’s physical condition, and is used in determining what his actual re- quirements of living will be, so that his grant may be properly estab-| lished. No Reference Letters No longer are four reference let- ters required, nor must the appli-| cant have his signature notarized. He merely signs a formal applica- tion which informs him under what | conditions he may receive Old Age| and the agent of the! Department of Public Welfare then | makes an investigation into his liv-| ing requirements and reports the; facts to the Office of the Director,| Juneau, Alaska, where determina- tion of the amount of the grant is| made. Application for Increase Should a recipient believe that his grant is insufficient to “make both ends meet,” he merely notifies the agent of the Department verbally or in writing and a reinvestigation of his needs is made, and reported to the Office of the Director, where determination of the circumstances is made and the grant modified ac- cording to the facts presented. This procedure does away with the com- plicated system of additional forms and periods of waiting that have existed in the past. Reinstatement Provided The Department of Public Wel- fare also announced that when re- cipients have secured employment at a liveable wage and are no longer in need of Old Age. Assis- tance, they should notify the agent of the Department or the,Office of the Director. The grant will cease until such time as they become.in need again. At that time the former recipient may present himself to the agent, sign his formal applica- tion for reinstatement, and his pres- ent needs being properly investigat- ed and established, his grant. may again commence on the basis of Ihis current requirements. | The primary requirements of eligibility still exist, said Mr. May- nard, Director of the Department, and those are: that an applicant must be a citizen of the United States, 65 years of age or over, and must have resided in Alaska five vears during the nine years imme- diately preceding the date of ap- plication. Proofs Established Agents of the Department assist in establishing proof of thesd re- quirements, and in the event that documentary procf of age and resi- dence cannot be made, affidavits by two reputable persons who have - i knowledge of the applicant over a period of years will be accepted. If an applicant is born in the United States his statement of the | fact is sufficient to establish citi- | zenship. If he is foreign born, e: should submit his naturalization | papers, or in the case of a woman, | her marriage certificate testifying | to her marriage to a citizen of the! Unitgd States, if issued prior to September, 1922, Now in Effect This procedure became, effective October 1, 1942, said Director May- nard, and new forms and instruc- tions have been forwarded to all | agents of the Department of Pub- | lic Welfare throughout Alaska. It is believed, he said, that there will be| less confusion incident to the mak- | ing of applications, their considera- tion, and the basis upon which qualified persons may receive Old Age Assistance grants. Should any applicant for, or re- cipient of, Old Age Assistance have any questions concerning his con- fice of the Director at Juneau, Al- aska, it was stated by Mr. Maynard. -oe PILE DRIVER FIRE, tinued eligibility, he is invited to| present his problems either to the | agent in his locality, or to the Of- | Does price matter as much as flavor?

A feeling of optimism, he said, is high in®the Interior and West. Construction work has been going ahead of schedule and the work on the Highway has been progressing beyond expectations. The feeling in Anchorage, he says, is that .we are licking the Japs in the Aleutians, and after the recent heavy raids made by Ameri- can bombers there, it was the feel- ing of many military and civilian residents that the Japs may soon be moving back from Kiska. Just before Wade's departure from Anchorage, the story was re- leased there of an accident on the Railroad, in which a caboose and the car next to it hopped the rails. killing a railroad employe from An- chorage named Couzens, and slight- ly injuring several others on the train.
