Public welfare expenditures In Jackson county totalled $19, 750.37 last month, as compared with $18,435.29 in July last year and $19,546.93 in June. 1940. The figures were embodied in reports studied by the Jackson county public welfare commis sion at its monthly meeting at city hall today. Every category of public wel fare expenditure excepting one increased last month over the expenditures of July a year ago. Old age assistance, which had increased steadily month after month when new cases were being certified, declined last month in comparison with that of June and July, 1939. On the other hand, at a time of year when the need of such relief normally declines, general assist ance increased sharply. Conditions Better The increase in general assist ance, however, was not attribut able to poorer economic condi tions, but mainly to the render ing of general assistance to per sons who otherwise might have been eligible for old age assist ance Mrs. Blanche Lyman, ad ministrator, told the commis sion." Economic conditions were generally better than they were a year ago and there is a variety of work available for employ ables, she related. For some time however, because of a deficiency of funds, no county public wel fare commission in the state has been permitted to add to its old age assistance list. There has also been some extra general as sistance to transients, the com mission was told. A. S. V. Carpenter, commis sion chairman, pointed out that in the near future expenditures for old age assistance were des tined to increase again as the county welfare commissions have been authorized to lift re strictions imposed some time ago and to resume certifying cases on October 1 for this form of assistance. It was emphasized, however. that each new case of old age assistance must be thoroughly investigated for certification as required by law and that this procedure takes considerable time. Eight cases of old age assist ance were closed last month, seven because of death and one because of removal from the county.

In this latest episode of a typical American family, the Hardys take a trip to New York where Lewis Stone, as Judge Hardy, must fight a dramatic $ 1,833.91' battle against the best legal 1 089. 15i brains in tne metropolis or see the Carvel orphanage, refuge of the little town's parentless youngsters, be closed for lack of funds. How he manages to win the battle furnlsties the best courtroom scene of the year. Meanwhile, Mickey Rooney, as Andy, has enmeshed himself In a situation from which he can see no escape. Infatuated with pictures of a New York glamour girl, he has boasted to his sweetheart. Ann Rutherford, and to Carvel chums that he knows the debutante. Taken to New York with the family, he must make good on his boast or never hear the last of it. Comedy highlights growing out of his predicament include his being thrown out of the debut ante's home when he tries to present a self-written letter of introduction, and a night club scene in which Mickey unwit tingly runs up a forty-dollar bill on an eight-dollar bankroll. Mickey plays the comedy scenes with a deft touch and has never turned in a better performance as Andy Hardy. Judy Garland, teamed with Mickey for the third time in their film careers, sings two numbers. "I'm Nobody's Baby" and "Alone," a new song which will be widely whistled. She Is a charming sub-deb, who aids Mickey in finally meeting the glamour girl, the latter played by Diana Lewis. SWEET CORN Improved Oolden Bantam. SI Back. B. E.
