6 Th day, March &, 1944 Vernonia Eagle Old Age Assist. Is Liberalized Loans for Crops Still Available At its regular meeting Feb. 25th, the state public welfare commission adopted several res- ♦ olutions which will further liber alize the old-age assistance pro gram as well as all other pro grams under its supervision and administration. In so doing, the Btate public welfare commission is carring out recommendations made by Governor Snell to the last legislature at which time nec- esary appropriations were made by the legislature. During the past year, the av erage grant for old-age assistance has increased from $24.95 t the present average of $30.91, and as a net result additional in creases will be provided. The action taken by the state public welfare commission pro vides: that the victory garden, or kitchen garden, shall be con sidered an inconsequential re source and shall not be taken in to account as a food resource un less the garden produces more than 50 per cent of the food needs of the individual; and an authorized increase in the per sonal needs’ item allowance for each individual from the former considered inadequate $2.00 to $6.00 range, to a $5.00 to $10.00 range; and in order that the county public welfare commission shall be able to meet the addi tional financial requirements for this liberalization, the state pub lic welfare commission adopted a resolution whereby the star» would pay 90 per cent of the general assistance obligations and the county would pay 10 per cent. • Loans for the production of war crops as well as normal cash crops and for the production or purchase of feed for livestock continue to be available to far mers through the Emergency Crop and Feed Loan Division, Farm Credit Administration, Uni ted States Department of Agri culture, Loan funds may be used to buy seed, fertilizer, or other supplies, and to repair farm machinery and equipment and for other necessary and related ex penses, according to Mr. George Nelson, County Agricultural A- gent, St. Helens, Oregon. “Farmers needing credit who are un°ble to obtain it from pro duction credit associations or on reasonable terms from other lend ers may obtain these loans,” Mr. Nelson explained. A first lien is required on the crops financed or the livestock fed. The maximum amount which may be loaned to an individual during the calendar year is limit ed to $460.00; however, a bor rower who has obtained this max imum amount and has repaid it in whole or in part may rebor row up to this maximum. The in terest rate is 4 percent per an num. Information concerning these loans may be obtained from Mr. S. L. Thompson, field super visor, 2014 Sandy Blvd., Portland, Oregon, telephone No. East 4962, or from the county agent, Mr. George Nelson, located at St. Helens, Oregon. For the conven ience of farmers, Mr. Thompson will be at the County Agent’s office in St. Helens, on Friday afternoons from 2:00 to 4:00 p. m., during March and April, to take applications to- loans. Sawdust... Richy’s barber shop received a new coat of paint last week and the local barber had to do the job himself, in spite of the efforts two local men put forth to drum up assistance. . .
