Mr. Gregg:

Each district is familiar with this little emergency fund; and from time to time there come to their attention veterans within this category who are in need of assistance immediately; and amounts from this fund are used. For the year 1949-50 a total of $29,964 was utilized. Of that, $3,848 was in the way of cash assistance to veterans in need in the categories I have mentioned; $240 was to assist in the purchase of clothing. The number of veterans involved was 1,068.
