Fewer in Area Get Aid from State in April
Relief or general assistance was provided to 15,178 persons in 16 Southern Illinois counties during April, 6,091 fewer than March. Total April aid was $290,932, with Illinois total general assistance at 113,534 recipients, a drop not seen since 1942. Major factors were resumed mining and higher agricultural employment, especially in Franklin, Saline, and Williamson counties.
