to the cump for an indeterminate
period, but the overage stay, based
on California camp experience,

mission was told Friday.
Rep. Grace Peck, D-Portland,
said she had been informed of the
plans of the new private program
and wondered what the state com
mission's policy toward it would
be.
Members of the commission
took no stand on the question
pending further information.
State Welfare Administrator An
drew Juras explained the commis
sion would be faced with two pol
icy decisions.
One would be what to do in
case a welfare recipient asks for
birlh control services from the
new organization and die other
help can lead to people getting off
welfare rolls.

gram in Clackamas, Washington
and Yamhill Counties will start
Aug. 12 with programs in these
counties also to begin in Febru

tation starts Oct. 14 with the pro
gram there to begin next April.
Other counties will get into the
new program at a later date.
Report was also given the com
mission on plans to train non

The welfare ctmmission will
