Increase Noted In Family Allowance Payments In PEI

During the month of June, 1956, 3219.725 was paid out in Family Allowances in Prince Edward Island as compared with 3181,1419 in the corresponding month of 1946. reports Mr. A. S. Tait. Re- gionai Director, Family Allow- ances. Department of National Health and Welfare, Charlotte- town. The total amount of Family Allowance payments for the first six months of this present year was 81,316,296, and for the same period ten years ago the amount totalled 51,084,371. '

The number of families in pay in June 1956 was 13.188 on behalf of 36,212 children, while the cor-

sponding figures ten years ago were 12,021 families for 30,456 children. According to the latest statistics available the average allowance per child paid in this Province was 56.07, while the average allowance per child in Canada is 36.04. The figure in this Privlnce represents the sec- ond largest of the ten Canadian provinces. ,

Ten years ago the average al- lowance per child in Prince Ed- ward Island was 35.95. The aver- age allowance per family in Prince Edward Island, which is the third largest stony of the Canadian Provinces, -is 'ol.l.'70. This figure is somewhat higher than the average allowance per family in Canada, which is 814.88.

Statistics for the last month show some very interesting in- formation with respect to pay- ment of family allowances. The largest individual payment was :17. Families range in size from 4,083 accounts with one child up to 7 with twelve children. There were 3.250 cheques made payable on behalf of families with two children; 910 with five children: 42 on behalf of ten children and 16 on behalf of eleven children.

During the first six ” the present year the total num- ber of new applications received was 1,378. Of this ,number 1,064 were added to' families already receiving allowances, while 314 were from parents applying on behalf of their first child.

There is one continuing Family Allowance problem which has im- proved very little in the last few years. Mr. Tait reports. Many of the registration forms received in

While the news was not a sur- prise, it came in an unexpected manne out of Eisenhower's temp- orary offlce on the campus of Gettysburg College. It came through Senate Republican leader William Knowland, who said after a meeting between Eisenhower and R e p u b iican wngressional leaders:

A broad smile worn by Press Secretary James C. Hagerty after talking politics with the president last week was generally regarded as a lipoff of the president's in- tentions.

Bridges told reporters that in response to Knowland's comment Eisenhower said:
