PORTLAND/OBSERVER Thursday April 22, 1971
Kinsey hot line
As the Oregon House of Re
presentatives completed its third
month of legislative business, a
new round of controversy
has
stirre d
up around Oregon’ s
welfare budget as the result of a
report by Touche, Ross & Co. on
welfare e lig ib ility in Oregon.
This company is a nation-wide
accounting firm , hired to study
e lig ib ility in the A id to Dependent
Children program, and the report
pointed out that “ there are few
problems facing Oregon which
approach the magnitude in terms
of cost, confusion and con -
troversy as that of the public wel
fare program .”
The report revealed that wel
fare in Oregon has grown from
$112.7 m illio n I t th e !>67
bi
ennium to $359.7 m illio n i i the
197i-73 biennium, representing a
60% increase over a fo u r- year
period, thus reaffirm ing the find -
ngs axnounc«<l e a rlie r this year
by the House Task Force on Wel
fare
which was appoint*!
in
December.
In the 1 >67-39 bi
ennium it was estimated
that
there w ere43,000 people maceiv-
ing welfare, where today
that
figure is estimated to be nearly
100,000..
The House Task Force report
indicated that perhaps between
15% and 20% of the cases in
the
ADC category were fraudulent,
which was confirmed by the ac
counting fir m ’ s figures showing
that 18% of the ADC cases were
found to be incorrect either in the
amount of money given or in total
e lig ib ility .
The greatest shock
effect of the entire report, how
ever, was the cost factor involved
in that type of e rro r, which show -
ed that approxim ately$330,000 a
month
was being lost either
through e rro rs o r by fraud.
Gone but
not forgotten
Although
dealing specifically
with ADC cases, the report re -
commended changes in adm inis
tration and better ce rtification of
e lig ib ility
fo r welfare grants,
which it was ascertained would
save as much as 60% of this$33O,
000 a month during the next bi -
ennium.
One of the most controversial
b ills to have come before
the
House this session. House B ill
1036, was passed last week. The
net effect of this b ill would be to
ban all non-returnable bottles and
cans in Oregon, which would in
essence prohibit the re ta il sale of
beer o r non-alcoholic beverages
fo r off-prem ise consumption in
containers
without a minimum
refund value of five cents; and the
b ill also provides fo r the preven
tion of re ta il sale of beverages in
pull - tab cans. The b ill met
strong
opposition from some
segments of industry and labor,
but the public reaction was over -
whelmingly in favor of this
ap
proach as at least one means of
attempting to get at the litte r
problem which has become so ap
parent along our roadsides and
re so rt areas.
The House also voted this week
to create the Oregon F a ir Plan
Association to provide essential
property insurance in high ris k
areas
where previously many
property owners in these areas
were
unable to purchase in
surance.
The insurance in
dustry,
the State Insurance
Comm issioner, and residents of
the
affected areas are a ll in
agreement that this legislation is
the answer to the problem
of
eithe r no available insurance, or
higher
premium rates if in
surance is available.

Sabin school
news
M r. Weitz, seventh grade
teacher, reports that
the
students who volunteered their
tune after school have nearly
completed their work on
the
project, a booklet entitled
“ Black People Making H istory
in Portland.” Information fo r
the biographical sketches was
obtained
through
personal
interviews
and form letters,
giving
the students some ex
trem ely interesting contacts.
This
booklet w ill contain
som e
f o r t y t o f i f t y bio
graphies of black people who are
contributing to th e ir community
through a variety of methods.
The intent of this booklet is te
•show students both black and
white, that black people are very
much a part of American life
and history, and the way they
live right now helps determine
the future course of this country
and the world I
It should also show that many
black people have overcome ob
stacles through education and
hard work, and, hopefully, that
adults really do care about what
happens to today’ s youth.
The Portland School D is tric t
w ill publish the book which
should be going to press shortly.
Once the book is published,
each contributor, each student
who worked on the project, and
each student’ s parent w ill be in
vited to an open house where
they w ill be presented with a
copy of the book.
The students have worked en
tire ly on their own time and have
done an outstanding job
of
gathering and compiling
the
m ate rial,
especially
Anita
E llio tt who worked every night
after school in order to com
plete the project.
