CARE (Co- One of the many headaches confronting the 71st session of the Illinois General Assembly is the problem of rising public aid costs. The last regiilar session of the legislature appropriated $317,408,339 for this purpose, plus an additional $15.- 000,000 at the special session last July; the governor, in his message to the Assembly, recommended an emergency appropriation of $52,200,000 to meet public assistance needs until July 1, 1959 -- total $384,608,339 for the current biennium. ' Compared to this, the Illinois Budgetary commission was recently handed a request for an appropriation of $418,817,- 107 by the Illinois Public Aid commission to support the basic public assistance programs for the 1959-61 bieniium. Of this total, about 180 million dollars would come from federal matching funds as compared to approximately 150 million dollars for the current two-year period. Such funds received from the federal government can only be spent on the costs of the programs for old age assistance, aid to the blind, aid to dependent children and aid to the disabled. General assistance is supported by the state and the local taxpayers. The local government, such as a township, levies a tax which when added to the unobligated balance on ha'id is equivalent to a rate of 10c based on the last known equalized valuation. If the township's needs for general assistance are greater than this amount, the state enters the picture with financial aid. As pointed up by a legislat i v e c o m m i s s i o n u n d e r t h e chairmanship of Senator VV. Russell Arrington. Evanston, during the last session of the legislature, the General Assembly will be studying how such costs can be reduced. Further tightening of requirements for the support of aged parents by children and responsible relatives will be studied. As precedent for this, a statute now provides that the state collect support payments from the relatives of patients in mental hospitals, when the relatives are able to pay. Everything should be done to collect from irresponsible fathers who leave children to be supported by taxpayers. And taxpayers would be better off to provide funds for thprough investigation and prosecution. Expansion of job training and rehabilitation programs, both by public and private agencies, would help. Some additional case workers are probably needed. But before they are added at random, there should be study and experimentation to determine what is the proper number of cases per worker for economy and efficiency. The Illinois Budgetary .commission. under the chairmanship of Senator Everett R. Peters. St. Joseph, is still hearing requests for a share of the state's dollars. It weighs and screens them and then makes recommendations to the governor. C ARD OF THANKS I would like to take this means of thanking friends and relatives for cards, prayers, gifts and visits while I was confined to the hospital., They were appreciated so very much.

Food Sense--Not Nonsense Keep a Weather Eye on Appetite Doctors keep a weather eye on your appetite just as a fisherman watches his barometer. For doctors recognize the ups and downs of appetite as a barometric reading to predict health. When the appetite barometer falls, they are alerted for storm warnings of poor health. Through research, they know there exists an appetite rending for a climate of good health. Researchers say that drastically restricting food to the point of near-starvation results in an almost complete loss of appetite ... a serious fall ill the appetite barometer. This warns dieters: vJfc\lthough appetite may cease to be a nagging nuisance, drastic deducing regimens c&nnot provide the nutrients they need. Even dieters on well balanced reducing diets often find that they do not lose as rapidly as they would Jike, because the body adjusts to less food and conserves its eneijgy when calories are restricted. Keeping a steady appetite reading on a safe, no-nuisance level is under your control: If you keep physically active, chances are .that3 your appetite -will -match the food you eat. To be sure you get the essential nutrients you- need, nutritionists advise that you eat minimum amounts of these foods daily^ f-.Four servings of enriched or whole grairtoread and cereal Four servings of fruit or vegetable Four ounces of meat, fish, eggs, poultry, or dry beans or peas * Two servings of milk or cheese NOW!
