We-Itoie Agencies Seek Govt.
Aid For Board
The regular meeting of the, Prince County Cathol-ic Welfare Agency was held on Wednesday evening with the President Dr. Hubert MacNeill president. There was‘ a general discussion on the idea that community or parish organizations might under- take to pay the board of one ward of the agency. These children have been removed from broken homes, are children of unmarried mothers. or for some other reason have been taken by the agency as wards and the cost of boarding them in foster homes is a con- siderable expense. The executive director reported that several groups are already doing this work.
Mr. Henry Wedge was appoint- ed to represent the agency on a delegation composed of repres- entatives of the Catholic and Pro- testant Agencies in Charlottetown to request the Provincial Govern- ment to pay these board bills.
A similar request was pre- .viously turned down by the Ex- ecutive Council but it is thought tha with the extra revenue to be rec ived from the Federal Govern- ment that this help should be re- ceived. The alternative is to make the children wards of the Govern- ment and then the Government must voluntary agencies are will- ing to~ do.
The Extecutive Director report- ed receipts for the month at $973.71, and expenses $869.06. Of these receipts $375.36 represented donations and $306.05 were pay- ments from parishes on the an- nual campaign.
It was pointed out that sever-

Florida Warned Of‘ New Freeze
MIAMI, Fla. (AP) sun wiped patches of snow off the face of the deep south Tihursd-ay ‘-but Florida, plagued by cold all winter, was warned to expect an- other freeze this morning.
Fresh winds pushed cold, dry- ing air into the area and small- craft warnings were up from Tampa, on the Florida Gulf coast southward through\ the Florida Keys and north to Cape Hatteras, N.C.
The snow reached from mar- illo and other Texas panhandle points to Savannah, Cross City, Fla.

fall in 70 years —\ covered some sections of South Georgia. Snow stretched across north Florida, from Pensacola to Jacksonville. The southern edge of- the snow belt was at Cross City, more than 100 miles southeast of Tallahassee. '
-—A bright Snow is not uncommon in the northern parts of’ Louisiana. la- bama, Mississippi and Georgia but it seldom reaches their south- ern borders. Many children in those areas,. and in Florida, saw it for the first ,tirie.
Students at Florida State Uni- versity at Tallahassee were al- lowed to remain outside their dar- mitories until midnight to build snowmen and cavort in the snow.
Freezing weather bit into the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas where it threatened thousands of acres of vegetables, citirus and
