WeIf are Declines In May, Fewer people in the Durhamr Region received welfare bene- f its last month. Acconding to social services commissioner, Doug Johns, a new policy.0on handing out the benefits b as reduced welfare rolîs. Under the new policy, wel- fare recipients have to pick up their benefits from, social services offices if they 'are able to do so. Mn. Johns estimates that an averag&e of 15 people are being cutof welfare every week because they don't come to social services offices to pick up their cheques. The social services commis-' sioner said last Thursday that his' departmentý- would not have fonecasted the welfare decline when prepaning its 1976 budget. The, decline amazes him. A report from tl4e social, services welfare department states that 3,836 wene on Welfare rolîs duning the' month of May. That's lower than May of 1975 when there were 4,211 Durham residents collectîng the benefits.- It is also lower than Apnil of this year, when welfare cheques were issued té 4,103. The figures for last month indicated thatý the numben of, recipients in the negion has been on the decline for four consecutive months. The Canadian Statesman.
