Figures from both the federal and
state annual reports indicate a simi

assistance to the needy—a situation
which, in the language of the Social
Security Board, “gave clear evidence,
if evidence were needed,’’ that many

“will use to the fuU every opportunity

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.”
