Then Maybe Relief
Attorney General Margiotti's ruling
that one-year residence is required it
Pennsylvania before relief can be gives
ought to prevent this State from becoming
a happy hunting ground for transients.
Secretary of Public Assistance Howi
sought guidance on how to handle appli
cations from persons who cross the Stag
line, impoverished or indolent or in neec
and seek a relief status. The answer o
the Attorney General is that not only i
one-gear residence required but also
record of self-support in that period.
It is evident from the circumstance
that there have been some abuses o
Pennsylvania's generosity. This may have
been at the hands of the ordinar~
"floater" or from friends or relatives o
Pennsylvanians outside the State why
chose a visit as the guest of the Common
wealth. Whatever the idea, such person
will have to spend a year here and liv
on their own resources before even think
ing of making a relief application. Tha
is not a bad idea.
