PAGE FOUR MAKES REPORT ON ASSISTANCE GIVEN NEEDY TY.4S BEING WELL TAKEN A : ANGIAL PAE ENT WERE owoll t (Sbceint %6 The Citizen)? - JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb.’ 21. Florida counties have benefitted both through a reduction in their expenditures for general relief and through added assistance for the needy by the operations of the State Weiiare act, it pas pointed out in a statement issued here today by Clayton C. Cod- rington, state welfare commission- er. Monroe county, he said, is now . Teceiving far more through Old Age Assistance and aid to the blind than it expended for both Old Age Assistance and general relief in June of 1937, the month prior to induction into office of the State Welfare Board. - parison was made of Ji id December welfare operations. or the the first half of the, gifare fiscal year. ZS 7 The figures, as obtained from reports of State Welfare) head- quarters here, show that during June of last year Monroe County had 17 cases, representing 19 in- dividuals who received general relief to the amount of $84.00, and that it then had 101 Old Age Assistance cases receiving $1,- 268.50. The total amount expend- ed for the month ‘by the county for relief under the two categor- ies was $718.25. In December 383 residents of Monroe County received Old Age Assistance pay checks amounting to $6,399.00 from the state and federal government, and the coun- ty was then expending $126.00 for generai relief. Summed up, 383 persons were receiving Old Age Assistance in December as compared to 101 in June, while the county’s income from this source was $6,339.00 as compared with its outlay of $718.25 in June. 19 persons were on general relief in June and 38 in December, receiving respec- tively $84.00 and $126.00. General relief and Old Age As- sistance expenditures for the en- tire state during June was $11,- 967.20. Ald Age Assistance alone for December was $364,459. Aid to the blind was not includ- ed im the statistics, as this form of public assistance did not begin until January of this year. Since funds for the payment of Old Age Assistance and aid to the blind come from the beverage | tax and matching federal money, | these benefits are made possible without new taxation, as promis- -ed by Governor Cone in his cam- paign statements, it was pointed MORE NAMES - ON REGISTER The Worm’s Eye View (Walker Peck) COC OSESASESEOESSEOOSOOOSSSSOSSSOSEASSESSSSSOOSOS People like to travel, there can be no doubt about that. And the average persons travels for very definite reasons. Very few just start out with no objective in particular and keep on going until “something happens to stop them. @USaally thé Yeason for getting out , of, the. old zhemeéstead and gala- tanting around is that the party ‘is’ ‘tired of’ seemg’ the same old place’day in and out and wants something new for a change. That ; ‘something, new” generally turns out:td»be whatever tourist resort Has been ballyhooed sufficiently to interest them and is within their means. A great many go to England and the continent because in certain circles it seems the thing to do. Too, and true enough, Europe has a charm all its own and the language and racial bar- riers help the ancient buildings, churches and castles to exert that charm. And so many people who fairly itch to get away from these shores and “do” the continent ‘ail to do so for economic reasons. Recently, in this country. a campaign was waged to make Americans consciatis of the United States. Specifically\the program was to cause the citizens of the commonwealth to®Buy America.” But in the course ef the campaign it was also urged that Americans SEE America first. As an old and somewhat trail worn getter arounder I at once wholeheartedly endorsed the ‘dea. I had been around quite a bit and had seen a lot of historic ruins, and a lot of romantic ruins. and it seems to me a lot of ruins of all kinds. I had successfully hurd- led language barriers and nation- al frontiers. I had walked the paths trod by the worlds great afmies. I had seen the fields on which the crusaders had fought some of their battles. Tasted of the wines the Caesars had drunk many years before. Looked at mountains, at forests, at mighty rivers. And I didn’t see, so help me, a blasted thing (ether than the ruins’I mentioned that could- n't be seen in this country cn a vaster scale and with a lot less trouble and expense. It is true enough that wander- ing over the face of the globe and stumbling on to all sorts 6f new and unusual things is“tin exper- ienee that is well worth the while. But it is also an undertaking that should be reserved for persons ‘who are financially well heeled and have nothing else to do, or for those, like me, whose feet just naturally itch and can’t be sooth- ed until sufficient miles are cov- ered to wear the itch off. Forget about the architecture of Europe and remember that we are a people who really build on a grand scale. Learn about the Harne, the Rhine, the Po, the Thames and the Ural in school if you have to then tell yourself that thie country has one river that is about as big as all of them put together. Big cities? We've got the biggest in the world. High mountains? What about our Rockies? Oh, this could go on and on all night. What I am trying to get around to saying is that the United States has all the scen- ery that is scenery. Sufficient contrasts to satisfy. Magnificent prairies. Deserts that are stun- ning to contemplate. The gran4est of the canyons. Two oceans and a Gulf just waiting to be seen. And all in our own back yard. No Passports, no linguistic diifficul- ties. Just get in your ear or buy a ticket on the train and go. Americans like to be on the go. They travel more as a people than any other people on the earth. And I do believe that they are just beginning to learn of the ad- vantages and delights of our lit- tle island city.
