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 UTf rv^vruuu vxttA zttvu* ‘'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 appropriation.
