New Welfare-- ...........
Setup Given
Review Here
While the full effect of legisla-
tion affecting administration of
social security laws in th State
of Washington will be undeterm-
ined until county boards have
gained experience, provisions of
the new legislation and an inter-
pretation of the law changes are
given below as furnished by Mrs,
Mary . McBride, head of the Ma-
son County Welfare department.
Mrs. McBride declared this week
that some of the provisions of the
new bill wil be of great assistance
in their work and that tightening
of eligibility requirements are to
be commended.
Mrs. McBride's analysis of the
new social security law follows:
The 1947 Legislature which ad-
journed March 13, 1947, has made
definite changes in the Social Se-
curity Laws of our state. Some
will effect all recipients; others
may affect only a certain number
of those who receive grants.
The name of the department has
been changed to the Department
ef Public Welfare.
A person shall be considered in
need who is without marketable
property holdings, resources, say.
ings or investments other than:
A. A single piece of property
which he retains in his possession
and personally occupies and uses
primarily for residential purposes;
. Personal effects including cloth-
ing, furniture, household equip-
ment and motor vehicle; C. Insur-
ance policies the cash surrender
value of which does not exceed
$500.00; D. Other real and person.
al holdings value of which does
not exceed $200.00; E. Has income
in cash and kind insufficient to
meet his requirements as meas-
ured by the department.
The new Old Age Assistance
Law requires that the department
file a claim at death for the total
amount of assistance granted af-
ter April 1, 1947. Such claims
shall constitute a lien against the
properties. When grants are re-
ceived through fraud or deceit or
any other manner contrary to the
provisions of this act, such grants
shall be recoverable as a debt due
the state.
The $50.00 minimum was re-
moved from the Old Age Assist-
ance and Blind Assistance Laws.
Senior citizens now residing out
of the state and drawing their
assistance checks from the state
are now ineligible unless they,re •
turt' to Washingtbn. They ey'
visit outside of the state for a
brief period if they maintain their
home here and provided that the
Welfare Department is notffied in
advance of the visit, ro more
than two successive warrants shall
be mailed out of the state.

subsequent $10 fine enforced on

tion and community under the
les:dership of a resident minister.
The new church will be a struc-
ture of beauty and as such will
have a strong attraction for its
people and an object of pride for
the city of Shelton. It will be
an institution of wide usefulness

every expectation that construc-

WITNESSING NISERY OF ENGLAND
Brightened somewhat by tile not oifly delayed her return to the

colorful and plentiful displays of
fresh fruits and vegetablcs and
stylish clothes in our local stores,
Mrs. Auguste Goldschmid return-
ed last week to Shelton from a
winter-long trip to England that
for a long time will carry memor-
ies of a freezing, ill-fed and ill
clothed Britain,
The joy of seeing her daughter
once again after a war-prolonged
abscncc was considerably dimmed
by the knowledge of the "worse
than wartime" conditiQns that pre-
vailed. No relief from the free.z-
ing temperatures and heavy snows
was available as the coal and
light situation was very had.
"Althougl the food situation
was controlled by rationing and
price ceilings, it simply can't be
compared to the rationing that we
underwent over here during the
war, There is so very little there.
TheY seem to be used to it, how-
ever, and there is no complaining.
No one starves, but tt is ver ILt-
tie that they are able to got," Mrs.
Goldschmid explalned.
Also marring the pleasantness
of her long-anticipated sit with
her relatives was a sickness that
forced her to remain in bed for
eight Weeks and finally to be ,con-
fined to a hospital. The illnes
had hoped to be able to visit with
other members of her family.
Her tour of England took hei" to
