found that it had only 365 individuals now on relief rolls who are classified as "employable" and who will go to work on county work-relief projects to be set up under the Pierson act. Meadville, with an estimated 000 population, has only 49 persons on state relief rolls who are employable and out of work. These figures were cited by Miss Ethel C. Schreiner, executive director of the Crawford County Board of Assistance, as she released the results of a survey made of county relief rolls, listing employable persons now receiving state aid. The "manpower" inventory was mailed out, along with data on the Pierson Act, to the county government, municipal, school district, township and borough subdivisions who will plan projects with the assistance department to set up work for the relief employables, in a move designed frankly by the state "to make relief less attractive." The listing showed that while Crawford county has 365 employable individuals now on relief rolls, it has the same number receiving general assistance who because of health or age cannot be put to work.
These two totals made up last week's county aggregate of 730 general assistance cases which county assistance department officers pointed out are exclusive of old-age assistance, state aid to dependent children and blind pensions. Crawford's total of 365 employables on relief compared with a 1.200 total announced for neighboring Mercer county. Miss Schreiner said in discussing the survey: "We have known all along and this proves employment is not a problem in this county. Conneautville Community Fair, September 14-15-16, 1939.

ECONOMY MOVE IS ON At The County Seat County Seat persons who will be affected by this reorganization, will not be known until the transfers are made and field staffs re-assigned," he added. IT IS NOT A PENSION In handing down a decision recently on the right of the Commonwealth to receive the full amount of past old-age assistance payments from the estates of deceased recipients, the State Supreme Court has cleared the atmosphere surrounding a matter that has been much debated. There has been no doubt of the State's right to collect from estates under the act of 1936, but there has been some doubt about anything back of that. The Westmoreland county court decided in favor of a decedant's estate- against the state--but the Supreme Court has reversed that ruling. The Commonwealth.
in seeking re-imbursem*nts from the estates of persons having received old-age assistance. can demand payment for money paid under the act of 1934. The Supreme Court says: "It is now clear that if the property was owned at any time while the aged person was receiving assistance, the estate, after his death, is liable for the full amount which may have been granted since the initiation of old-age assistance in Pennsylvania in December, 1934." Commenting on the broader significance of the Supreme Court decision, Secretary of Public Assistance Howard L. Russell expresses the belief that "too many persons have had the mistaken idea that old-age assistance started as a fixed pension given to every one over 70. regardless of his property, resources or individual need.
and that later legislation Or regulations changed this. Actually, an old-age assistance is and always has been intended under the law solely for the needy without means of their own and without responsible relatives able to help them; and where property is owned. and the state does not require that it be liquidated and used up before assistance is granted. an obligation against any estate which may be left has always existed." Summed up, the situation is just this: Money that persons have received under the old age assistance act is not a pension, though generally referred to as such. It has been assistance granted on a basis of need.
and nothing more. And the Commonwealth has a right to collect from estates where any are left by the deceased recipient. There may be some difference of opinion as to the justice on the law. but there is now no doubt about what the law means. PENNSIDE Mrs.
