OAKEY'S Williamson Road CHAPEL Formerly Peters Funeral Home 8116. $2.480.000 Record Budget Proposed for Martinsville MARTINSVILLE, May 29 Recommending that the City of Martinsville "tighten its municipal belt" during 1951-52, City Manager Kent Mathewson last night proposed a budget of 480,000 for the next 12 months beginning July 1. The budget, largest in the City's history, represents an increase of $268,000, or 12 per cent over the current year's operations. Despite this addition, Mathewson noted that rising costs of labor and materials, together with the -increasing growth Martinsville will actually provide for less municipal improvements and services in the next year.

Mathewson's report on the budget was presented at a special meeting of the City Council--a to which the public was invited. At the outset of his 42-minute message, the City Manager emphasized that his recommendations in brief, covered seven points: (1) a balanced budget; (2), a budget allowing for a school increase; (3) provisions for only the mostneeded construction work; (4) a continuation of present day-today services at "today's standards;" (5) insuring full payment of debt service requirements; (6) the utilizing of this year's contemplated $50,000 surplus to pay for next year's installment on the -pass fund; and (7) the proposal calls for no new taxes and continues the recently lowered utility rate, amounting to savings of $40,000 yearly. Mathewson, in discussing anticipated revenues for next year, said that the water, sewer and electric utilities would contribute 35.3 per cent of the needed $2,480,000. On the subject of expenditures, the City Manager said the largest single item, amounting to $909,000 -or 36 per cent of the total budget-is for schools. Stressing "our school leadership is superior beyond question," he told members of Council that he had cut other departmental requests as far as he felt wise to do in order to make as much additional revenue available for schools as possible.

The second largest single item in the recommended budget was listed for the public works department. Mathewson said this would run to $561,000 or 22.6 per cent of the budget--a figure $58,000 less than was originally requested by the department.

Fallwell. He said yesterday that monthly grants must be cut at the middle of the year for old age assistance and aid to dependent children. At the same time, he said, there will be practically no funds for clothing, food and other necessities for general relief cases after payment of their shelter costs, including utilities.

The Roanoke Department of Public Welfare as of May 1 had 578 old age assistance cases, 365 cases of aid to dependent children Foster, 88, died in Pearisburg Hospital late Sunday afternoon. Surviving are five sons, Robert Willis of Bristol, Charles Willis of Roanoke, Frank Willis of Welch, W. George Foster of Glamorgan and Wesley Foster of Berton.

Burial was in the church cemetery. If Russia Takes Iran Kefauver Warns World War Might Come This Summer NEW YORK, May 29 (AP)-A world war "this summer" might be detonated by the current IranianBritish oil dispute, Senator Estes Kefauver said last night. The Tennessee Democrat said the controversy could lead to a "shift of Iran into the Soviet orbit" and a consequent reversal of the world's balance of power. "It would be a reversal free nations could not tolerate." Kefauver added "it would mean war. This could happen--and this summer." Kefauver spoke at an Atlantic Union Committee meeting at Town Hall.

This group, supported by Kefauver, proposes a Federal union of Atlantic Pact nations. The Senator stated one reason he gave up the chairmanship of the U. S. Senate Crime Committee was to devote more time to the Atlantic union plan. A transatlantic federal system, perhaps like the 48-state American federation, Kefauver said, is necessary "if we want to keep war away from our families." Such a system would help meet the Iranian crisis, Kefauver said, by achieving British-American unity for social and economic reforms in Iran.

The Iranian situation, he declared, is a direct product "of Anglo-American disunity in the Middle East." "While we debate about the battle in Korea," he said, "few of us realize how close we are to the outbreak of total war in the Middle East." PAY TRIBUTE FLOWERS To remember!

SALE NO. H. WINDEL, 132478 THE SIGN of PROMPT REAL ESTATE SERVICE Call For One Of These Signs A Unique Ministry of Prophetic Poetry averaging three to four A case and 182 general relief cases. Fallwell gave these facts to Council in submitting an amended budget for the last half of 1951 calling for an overall increase of $8,146. The City's share of the increase will be $3,041 and it will be reimbursed for the remaining funds by the State and Federal governments.

The welfare director said that even with the additional money there will be less funds available for welfare needs because of the increased case load and other factors than there were for the last half of 1950. He explained there is nothing the City can do to control the case load. The public welfare program is controlled by State law and applicants who met the requirements cannot be declared inelgible, he emphasized. Fallwell referred to these other factors in the welfare program: the City is required by State law to accept foster care cases assigned by the court; the State now requires that public assistance funds be used first to pay 100 per cent of shelter costs for general relief and aid to dependent children cases before funds are given these cases for other necessities; and an allowance up to $27 a month must be paid caretakers who have custody of dependent children. He reminded Council that the monthly budgetary allowances for families getting public assistance for food, clothing, are still based on 1949 figures.

The welfare director said the grant for old age cases will be cut from 100 to 90 per cent of their needs, making the average grant about $29. Grants for aid to dependent children cases will be sliced from 100 to 85 per cent of their needs, he explained. The age grant at present for these cases, averaging three to four persons, is about $77. Fallwell said further reductions may have to be mad in grants in the fall depending upon the number of applicants and those found eligible. He continued that shelter costs, which must be paid in full, have increased in some cases as much as $15 a month.

He emphasized no employable persons are carried on general relief rolls. Persons in other categories, such as old age, blind and dependent children, are made Dixie Drive-In COMING! ILL GET TECHNICOLOR BY; STARTS TOMORROW Prices for This Show Adults 50c Children Free eligible for public assistance by State law, he continued. Falwell offered some hope for 8 decrease in the old age assistance load within three to five years. He explained recent amendments to the Social Security law should as time goes on reduce very materially old age assistance cases on public welfare rolls. These amendments, he said, include increased coverage of workers, reduction in time to one and a half years until they are eligible for payments and increased payments for lower income persons.

Mr. Falwell foresaw possible relief for some of the welfare clients in that they will be eligible to occupy units in the Federal housing project. This would especially apply to ODC re-mothers with four or five children. He said he had already talked with representatives of the Redevelopment and Housing Authority about moving some of the we are having a time with rents." clients into the projects "because The -all increase in the budget for the State and Federal fiscal year will amount to $8,146 with $5,105 coming from two sources, Council was told. Increases reflected in the budget include: foster home care, $542; general relief, permanent and total disability, and aid to dependent children, $18,932.

Decreases made were: Old age assistance, $28,206, and aid to blind, $6,573. Mr. Fallwell explained that the number of recipients of aid in the latter category has been reduced by five.
