under the state public welfare law was
considered at the meeting of the K^er-
Shaw County board of public welfare
on February 16. The following ex
planation waa made on behalf of the
board by the chairman, Norman S.
Richardi:
“Only persons in actual need are cn.
titled to public assistance’ under the
state law. Thia means that caretnl,
impartial Investigation of the clrcnm.
stances of all applicants must be made
by the county department of public
welfare, according to approved stan
dards which must be used in all cases.
These standards of need wei% pre
pared and are periodically revised by
a committee of experts in the fields
of household and agricultural econom
ics from Winthrop and Clemson col
leges. They show what a resident of
South Carolina requires in the way of
food, clothing, shelter, medical and
dental care, etc., for a reasonably
healthful subsistence. The applicant
must give accurate information aa to
all resources available to him, and
every Item of available resources must

‘'The task of the county department
of public welfare is then to find .out
what is actually available to the ap
plicant and how much additional la
necessary to meet his needs. ^ This Is
done by striking a balance between
his available resources as shown by
Investlgiation and his estimated needs
as determined by the established stan
dards. The 'difference between his
available resources and his indicated
need la the amount that should be
awarded him aa assistance. Whether
his need can be fully met dei>ends
upon the total number of needy per
sons In'the state and the amount of
money available from State and Fed'
eral sources to meet those needs.
Prior to this year It has been Im
possible to provide more 'than two-
thirds of the Indicated need for old
age assistance, but during the cnrrent
fiscal year, because of an Increased
