Figures from both the federal and state annual reports indicate a simi lar situation ns tOH^iplents of public assistance to the needy—a situation which, in the language of the Social Security Board, “gave clear evidence, if evidence were needed,’’ that many who are normally not employable “will use to the fuU every opportunity to support themselves and their faml. lies through thrir own earnings.’’ The annual report of the State Department of Public Welfare shows that improv ed employment eondHiotts resulting from war activities liave “contributed materially to the ability and to the wiUinguets of families to provide for their dependent members, thus lessen ing the pressure for assistance from public sources.” On the other hand the State report points out that "this favorable'tendency was largely offset by the continued rising cost of living which tended to sharpen the ne^ of most dependent persons and to widen the gap between their needs and their available resources.” It further po'nts out that the types of assistance pro vided through the State Department of Public Welfare are for the benefit **of persons ineligible to ^ enter indus try Mr other remunerative* employ ment," and are therefore “a perma nent responsibUity of government aa yet quite inadequately discharged in most sections of the country, Includ ing South Carolina.” MRS.
