THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
QUICK PASSAGE OF
KEYSTONE BILLS OF
RIVERS IS EXPECTED
(Continuea From Page One)
The act would not place any lim
its on the assistance.
The “aid to the blind act” would
give monthly payments to persons
21 years of age or over'whose ‘‘vis
jon, with corrective glasses, is s&
defective as to prevent the per
formance of activitieg for which
eyesight is essential.” There is no
specific limit to the assistance.
The federal government's con
tribution to adnunistration of the
children’s aid act would be 33 1-3
per cent of the amount expended but
federal participation in the blind
assistance act would be 50 per
cent, the same as for old age pen
sions, ‘
; Major Provisions
Heére are oustanding provisions
of the major bill—the one dealing
with old age pensyons:
Titled “the oid age assistance act
of 1937,” the measure would go into
effect as soon as passed by both
houses and signed by the governor.
It would provide maximum pen
sions of S3O a month for persons
65 years of age or more, with pay
ments to be based on need of the
‘applicant and not vo be made at
any flat rate,
The bill was drawn, a house lead
er said, in such a manner that it
may be possible for the state to
appropriate funds ror the purpose
even before passage of a prol)osed\
constitutional amendment. |
If funds can be found, he said, it
is possible the act will go into
full operation before a vote on the
amendment.
To be Pushed
In any event, he said, the amena
ment will be pushed and will be
brought up for a vote by the people
in June, if the assembly approves
measures now pending before it.
Regardless of availa}bility of state
funds, federal funds will come to
Georgia between time of enactment
of the bill and July 1. he said, and
will allow at least partial opera
tion of the act. Passage of the pro
posed amendment by July 1 de
finitely would assure full operation
of the act by that date.
Possibility of the state’s putting
up necessary money lies in techni
cal details of operation. Counties
would supply the total cost of pay
ing pensions, and would be re-im
bursed by the state to the extent
of 90 per cent of the cost.
This re-imbursemnent would come
through the public welfare depart
ment, proposed in a bill introduc
ed in the senate yesterday. The
senate measure specifically design
ated the welfare department ag an
institution within constitutiona!
meaning. The state can appro
‘priate funds for operation of its
institutions, |
i Left to County
Administration of the old age
assistance benefits would be left
to each county.
The county departments would
be under direction of the state
welfare department.
Main provisions of the bill in
clude:
ELIGIBLE PERSONS: Those 65
years of age or over who have heen
residents of the state for at least
three yars and have not “sufficient
income or other resources to pro
vide a reasonable subsistence com
patible with decency and health.”
No person who is the inmate of a
public institution may receive a
pension, but any inmate may apply
for aid and begin receiving it as
soon as he leaves the institution.
AMIOUNT OF ASSISTANCE:
Based on “the conditions existing
in each case,” payments to each
pensioner ‘shall be sufficient when
added to all other income and sup
port of the recipient, to provide X X
a reasonable subsistence,” except
that payments can not exceed S3O
per month.
Must be Plied
APPLICATIONS: Written appli
cations must be filed with county
departments, which would be
created under termyg of a bill in
troduced in the .senate yesterday.
Judges of superior courts would
appoint five-member boards in
each county to administer the act
under regulations provided by the
state department of public welfare
also to be created by the same
senate bill.
CONFEDERATE VETERANS:
Confederate veterans and widows
already receiving pensions would
be required to apply to the county
poards for assistance under the
new act, but the boards could not
reduce the amount they now re
ceive in pensions (S3O monthly.)
House leaders said thig provision
was designated to allow the federa'
funds pay half the Confederate pen
sions, and thus release half of the
state money now going to such pen
siong for other uses.
PAYMENT OF PENSIONS:
Pension checks will be issued mon
thly by the county departments af
ter investigating the applicants,
finding them needy, and determin
ing the amount to be paid to each
AHow up to $75
FUNERAL EXPENSES: County
boards could allow up to 3§75 for
funeral expense of any recipient
who dies. ! |
RECOVERY FROM THYE
ESTATE: “On.the death of any
recipient the total amount of as
sistance paid under this act may
be allowed as a claim against the
estate of such peérson after funeral
expenses not to exceed $75 have
been paid and after the expense Of
administering the estate has been
paid. No claim shall be enforced
against any real estate of recir)ientj
while it is occupied by the surviv-i
ing spouse, or dependent.” |
REMOVAL FROM COUNTY: If
a recipient moved from one cnunfy}
to another, e could have his name
transferred to the new county and|
‘continue to recieve the assistance.
; - Put up Cost
' FINANCES: Counties would
have to put up the cost of paying
‘the pensions and 10 per cent of the
administration expense for each
county; the state would repay to
cach county 90 per cent of the pen

NO POLITICS
| ATLANTA — (#) — Georgia's

i L. Miller, of Lakeland, says politics
'and gectionalism will be eliminat

Issuing a formal statément y‘es
terday he said:
“I did not ask for this job. Gov
ernor Rivers asked me to accept
it and told me he ewanted the state
highway department operatd on an
honest and efficient basis. I have
‘aacepted and shall enceavor at all
ltimes to adhere to this principle.
f' “F s not & politician and I do
lnot believe the people of this state
want its highway department oper

most economical and practical way
possible, x x X

He told reporters he discussed

ways. It hals not been so easy
to- get the right-hand guide strip
of orange—yeflow adopted but il
must come. {ln night driving, dur
ing which titne, a heavy percent
age of mo'tmil accidents occur, the
driver in facing approaching head

“Too often, this is a ragged

drives too iiear the center, caus
ing collision.} If we can get these
shoulders clelaned up .and put an
orange-yellow guide strip of paint
on the right heond edge of the road,
most of the&d accidents can be pre
vented. Optometrists, because of
their special/ training in physies:
have long known that the human
eye gets nsfi strongest light reac

lcontrast, buty orange-yellow is more
quickly and, definitely selected by
I the normal humap eye.
Brave Efforts
} “Optometrigts are also making a
| brave effort to secure annual vis
ual check-up for every car driver,
before driving licenses are issued.
It is estimated that nearly 50 per
cent of driving accidents are due
to seeing failures. It should be
emphasized that visual acuity (on
‘which so much emphasis has been
placed in the past) is not nearly
so important to safe driving as
‘stereopsis’ or depth-perception and
peripheral vision, which lis the
ability to perceive movement out
ofthe ‘corners’ of the eyes. Single
binocular vision is not as common{
as many believe., There is a tre
mendous amount of suspension of |
seeing in one eye or the other,
called ‘suspenopsia’ which handi-l
cpas not only drivers, trut pedes- .
trians and workers on their jobs.'
The great optometric development
of the past year has been in the
field of overcoming the converg
ence difficulties of the two eyes
to eliminate suspenopsia. i
“The school children cam'paign
progresses slowly. Optonwetrissts are !
fighting everywhere for thg elimi-\
nation of the dangerous 20 foo*!
acuity test’. It has been the cus
tom for years to hang a reading
card in a school room. and have
the chidlren ‘test’ themselves to
gee if they could reasl a certain
height of letters at 20 feet. If
they could, it was assumed they
‘could see all right' when as a
‘matter of fact passingg such a So-!
called ‘test’ gave a false sense of
lsatety. Careful anglyses of thous
ands of school children show that
~y difficulties are responsible
for only 16 to 17 per cent of low
[school grades.”
. “The protlem of the slow-read
er (who is the slow learner): re
uires a more searching survey.
About 47 per cent of low grades
in school arise from the inability
of the child to hring the two eyes
to bear, smoothly and with mini
mum effort, on the visual task as,
near point. To ignore this tm,d‘l
the ‘versions’ or head movements
of the child is to leave the chfld‘
stranded, unable to study and
branded as ‘slow’ or ‘stupid"whenl
the parents and school authorities
areg the ones who have not taken‘
the necessary corrective steps to
place the child on an efficient,
;maintained seeing plane. Consid
iering the money cost of repeating
'a school year for a retarded child
and the social cost in branding a
child is inferior, it seems time
that this subject be given deep
study. Optometrists renewed theirn
'pledge that they would work te
this end. They are also working
!for the use of orange-yellow
chalk and dull-finish blackboards
in the schools.” 4
