When an applicant is fortunate enough to have a source of support there are additional considerations to be made before granting aid. If an applicant has, or can command, any means of his own to meet his living costs as the department figures them, those means are considered in determining whether or not the applicant is eligible for assistance.

The following four means are given the greatest attention: Net Income Net income is defined here as gross income minus: whether taxes and other compulsory deductions are made from a person's wages; special work expenses; and a certain amount to cover a worker's greater need for food and clothing. Personal Property If an applicant has cash or personal property that can be immediately converted into cash, except that needed for daily living requirements, he is not eligible for assistance. He must use for living expenses any money in a bank account, any money from stocks that can be sold, and any cash value of insurance over a certain stated amount. Employment An unemployed person who is wholly or partially employable must actively seek work of a kind he can do and for which he has a chance of being hired. He must also register with the State Em ployment Service.

He becomes in eligible for assistance if he fails to do these things, or if he turns down a detinue job he is able to do. Help i rom Relatives The applicant and the Depart ment make a joint effort to get financial aid from relatives who are able to help. If such a close relative as parent, child, or spouse is able to help but unwilling, the county court may be asked to determine, in accordance with the support law, what is his responsi- Diaty in helping to maintain the applicant. For applicants with no means of support, "need" is the cost of MEN'S' i H- Dress Hose mjr Fancy Patterns land, O. Mr.

The church is being raised to provide room for a basement which will be used for the Sunday School rooms and c6mfort rooms. The renovation of the building will cost approximately $8000 and will be greatly appreciated by the congregation.

During the process of this re- "ovation, some very interesting church documents were removed from the cornerstone. Although the exact date of the organization of the Horner congregation cannot be ascertained, the first subscription taken to build the church is dated March 7, 1835. The trustees and building committee were such pio-neeers as Adam Maurer, Jacob Bowman, Joseph Zimmerman, George Stufft, William Miller, Jacob and George Horner. The cornerstone was laid June 27, 1835 and the building was completed November 15, 1835. The first Pastors were Rev.

Peter Rizer who began his pastorate in 1839 and Rev. Ibikean who served the congregation in 1838. The building soon proved inadequate as the congregation became larger and the church council started plans for a new building. Subscriptions were solicited for the new building in 1872 and over $3000 was raised. The cornerstone was laid June 15, 1873 and included the first records, from which this article was taken.

Also, some very old coins and newspapers were found in the present remodeling. The Somerset Herald dated Wednesday, April 23, 1873 and the Somerset Democrat dated May 28, 1873, also, The Lutheran Observer dated May 16, 1873 and published in Philadelphia, were among the news items brought to light. The following article is a quotation from the Somerset Democrat of 1873: Picking Out A Wife Find a girl that is nineteen years old last May, about the right height, with a blue eye and dark brown hair and white teeth. Let the girl be good to look at, not too phond of musilk, a firm disbeliever in ghosts and ov six children in the same family. Look well to the karakter of her father; see that he iz not the member of enny club, don't bet on elek-shuns, and gits shaved at least three times a week.

Find out all about her mother, see if she hez got a heap of good I common sense, study well her likes and dislikes, cat sum ov her hum made bread apple dumplins, notiss whether she abuses all ov hep labors, ask her servants how Jong they have lived thare, and don't fail tew observe whether her i dresses are last year's ones fixt over It you are satisfied that the mother would make the right kind of a mother-in-law, you can safely konklude that the daughter would make the right kind of a wife. After these preliminaries are all settled, and yu have done a reasonable amount ov sparking, ask the lady for her heart and hand; and if she refuzes, yu can consider yourself euchered. If, on the contrary, she should say yes, git married at once, without any fuss and feathers, and proceed to take chances. I say take the chances, for there ain't no resipee for a perfek wife, enny more than there iz for a perfek husband. Thar iz just as menny good wives as there iz good husbands, and I never knew two people married or single, who were determined to make themselves agreeable to each othcr but what they sukceeded.

Egg Production Drops While Milk Rises By Pennsylvania News Service A pat on the back has been handed farmers and poultrymen of the Keystone State by Governor Duff who this week declared that "our farmers are to be commended placing Pennsylvania first in nation in the total value of poultry and eggs produced." The Chief executive said that the climb to the top has been "steady minimum necessities of living, as set by the department. For others, "'need" is the difference between their means and the minimum cost ot living as set by the department. The amount of assistance given them represents their Another requirement besides need that is common to Old-Age lasisiance, Aid to dependent Children, and General Assistance is residence. To satisfy the re quirement of residence, a person must have resided in Pennsylvania at least one year, unless he comes from a state that will grant as sistance in less than a year to a Pennsylvanian moving there. (Only a few states will.) The application that a person requesting assistance must sign contains an affidavit that he has told the department about any means of support which he may have, and that he will report any changes in his situation.

He must sign a bond to repay whatever assistance he accepts for which he is not eligible. He must sign what amounts to a lien on any real or personal property he may possess. This enables the Commonwealth to be paid back for assistance given him. Reimbursement As explained earlier, an applicant for public assistance is expected to use every means of support he has. The question natural ly arises: What must he do about his home? Must he sell it or borrow money on it? He is not compelled to do either.

However, the Pennsylvania support law considers that while he need not use his home for current support, he must pledge, from the proceeds of the property when it is eventually sold, repayment for assistance received. So long as the recipient, the recipient's husband or wife, or his children, use the property as a home, the department will take no action on the lien. Therefore, no home owner need fear the loss of his home because of signing this agreement to repay the state. The lien may be satisfied at any time by a voluntary payment; or by a new owner who wishes to get a clear title to the property. No interest is added.

Blind Pensions need not be paid back in this manner. thinks that the disabled shouldn't be hired. people say, "the fellow had a tough break. Too bad. But it's just one of those things.

Hope he gets workmen's compensation or a pension of some kind from the government. Maybe he can pick up an odd job as a watchman sompi-where. If he doesn't, he can get on relief. Nobody starves in Somerset county these days." It's easv to shrucr off somebodv else's nroblem. to hone t.hev.

who- ever, they is, will take care of the man or woman who lost a hand oi' a leg or an eye. That's the goal of Employ Th" Physically Handicapped Wee k. Someone should make an effort to get these handicapped people into production work. It is hoped that some employers will read this who are in position to offer work to a disabled man or woman The men and women who served in the Armed Forces were trained for the most complex war machine ever devised. They learned to op erate machines, distribute materials, and render services, all under the most diversified conditions They were trained as few Ameri cans were trained before.

Those who were disabled often took further training to enable them to overcome their handicaps and pre- pare for competing with unimpaired worKers. Immediate efforts of the local committee is, of course, concentrated on planning and carrying out an effective observance of NEPH Week. However, since the problem of employment of the handicapped is not a one-week or one-month problem but a year-round one. local committees are urged to plan for year-round activities to assist hand icapped workers throughout the year to secure suitable employment. Religious Racial Confab in Aaronsburg Jiy Pennsylvania News Service Invitations have been extended by Governor Duff to 17 of the nation's outstanding leaders in reli gious and racial tolerance to take part in an all-day discussion of these subjects in a sleepy Center County village Aaronsburg (pop ulation ozu), which its rounder once hoped would be the capital of Pennsylvania.

The round-table discussions will be held Sunday, October 23, as a feature of Pennsylvania Week, and will commemorate the 150th anniversary of the founding of Salem Lutheran Church on land donated to the little Pennsylvania Dutch community by its founder, Aaron Levy a Jew. Aaronsburg, believed to be the only town in the United States founded by and named for a Jew, is located near State College, in the exact geographical center of he state. Levy originally had hoped that because of its location it would be chosen as the site for the state capital. Focal point of the celebration of what has become known as a "Aaronsburg Story" will be the tiny Salem Lutheran Church, completed in 1799 and in continuous use since that time. A local com-mmittee, representing all races, colors and creeds is in charge of the program.

A hure naceant will tell the story of this example of religious ina racial tolerance begun ly for the 150 over There are 44 registered applicants in the Handicapped file of the Pennsylvania State Employment office in Somerset.
