umhia. The visitors keep a file
of all cases they handle and make
periodic visits to the homes of
those receiving aid. They also in
vestigate cases of patients to be
sent to Cedar Springs near Spar
tanburg, a school for the blind,
deaf and dumb.
“Our applications for old age
assistance have been falling off
recently,” said Mrs. Feagle, “be
cause so many more people are
now under, social security than
in the past;” When a person ap
plies for aid, a search is made by
the DPW workers to find wheth
er the person is entitled to social
security benefits.
For the fiscal year ended June
30, 1955, the DPW in Newberry
county paid $817.07 for medical
assistance to prevent blindness;
$307,919.37 old age assistance;
$12,962 for aid to the blind; $50,-
163.21 for aid to dependent child
ren, $4,809.38 for general relief,
usually in cases at temporary ill
ness at the breadwinner; and $38,-
763.35 paid to permanently and to
tally disabled. The total assist
ance rendered by the DPW in the
county during the year was $4*4-7,-
172.26.
“Some people seem to think we
ju4t give money to ahyone who
asks it.” said Mrs. Feagle, “but
this isn’t true. A thorough study
is made of ervery application for
assistance, and only those who
absolutely cannot manage other
wise are given assistance. Last
year, of 393 applications received,
195 were approved and 191 re
jected. Some were still being in
vestigated at the end of the fis
cal year.
Mrs. Feagle, who has been with
the department since 1937, became
director of the DPW in 1942. Also
with the department since 1937,
the year it was .organized,, are
Mrs. Ruth Mathis, who began as
a visitor and became child wel
fare worker in 1946; Mrs. Maggie
G. Smith, visitor/ and Mrs. Ger
trude H. Copeland, clerk. The
remainder of the staff includes,
Mrs. Lillian Rodelsperger, senior
visitor; Mrs. Margaret W. Epps,
Mrs. Susie C. Brown and Mrs.
Sara A. Shannon, visitors; Mrs.
Frances H. McCullough and Mrs.

Directing the activities of the
department through monthly meet
ings is the Board of Public Wel
fare consisting of Prof. W. E.
Monts, chairman; Joe B. Connelly
of Prosperity, who has been a
member of the Board since 1937
