    As in previous years the demands of the aged category have absorbed the greatest proportion of the increased help available, the number of current cases in this category on 31st December, 1963, being 591, which is 50 more than the previous year. Maternity cases have not shown an increase but it is interesting to note that some cases have made application for help during a second confinement which indicates that those using the service are satisfied.
