Ham Cars Better. Cheaper
"A veteran who lml been at work
only a short time following a some
wlutt prolonged Illness, died of heart
Mure. Ho left widow with four
children. There was $700 Mt in the
adjusted compensation cortlfieate. The
mother paid back rent and store bills,
expecting to preserve her credit until
something turned up. nut the mer
lnini knew the provider was gone.
there was no such thing ns credit. She
appll.J for mother's pension. It was
denied, why? The reason given was
she bod paid bills with the $700
service certificate Instead of hoard
ing It. She begged; she went from one
chnrity to another but It wasn't until
tho danger of losing her children to
an Ir.stitutlon threatened her that she
began enlisting aid. To mnke long
story short, we succeeded in getting
a grant of J IS for this family. If
these children bad been committed to
an institution it would have cost the
state ."'SI for the care of the children
only, fiay nothing about the care of
the mother during those strenuous
times. Here Is a saving of J228 a year
to the taxpayer on only one family,
measnred in dollars alone. Say noth
ing at all ahnnt tho value of rearing
these children in their own family
atmosphere'
Lobby Defeats Bill, Claim
The speaker advocated that the
cost of in'titntional care snd mothers'
aid be shared equally by the county
and state, thus eliminating "passing
the buck" of the cost from one, tax
levying body to another, and center
ing attention on the needs ot the in
dividual child Instead.
Outlining attempts made In the past
to secure legislation to tins end, tveit-
.er charged that highly trained H'D
bles, with plenty of money at their
disposal, had defeated past attempts
along this line. The lobby, he said,
represented what Is known as the
Child Caring Federation oi uregon.
"In order to coDe with thein it will
be necessary for you to know the
methods they use In preventing legis
lation. In 1931 they had an open high
priced lobby. In 1033 it was at the
legislature but under cover. When
the legion measure for creating un
paid county child welfare boards was
introduced it passed the committee on
public welfare with a unanimous vote.
Two days later when It came up In
the house things began to happen.
Why? Every county judge in Oregon
received a letter of which part of the
(eit ! as follows: "Sect. 0 of tho pro
posed act which requires that the
county court shall lurnisn tae ooaru
nt ehildrens' ruardians such data, rec
ords and information as will enable
them to advise with the court in such
matters should be particularly repug
nant to you as a judge. Your exper
ience has shown how many matters
coming before you are and must pe
confidential and you undoubtedly know
how the troubles of the children would
be broadcast throughout yonr county
if you were required to furnish to
the proposed board all of the Infor
mation at your command concerning
any case.
Letters Solicited
" The Child Caring group of the
state of Oregon haa in the past co
operated fully with your court and
your workers and this group Is anx
ious to continue the present harmoni
ous relations. We do not want to see
the creation of this cumbersome ma
chine which, If placed in operation,
will result In making you, as judge,
simply a "yes man" to your county
child welfare commission.
" 'May we request. If you agree with
us on this bill, that yon voice your
opposition to your representatives and
senators In the legislature Immediately
by wire and that you follow the wires
np by letter?
" 'Also, may we have a letter from
yon expressive of yonr opinion on the
bill, with your permission to use the
letter at such time as the occasion
may warrant?
" 'Very truly yours, The Child Car
ing Federation of Oregon, by the
president.'
Segregation Held Need
"Now, why are county committees a
part of onr program? Let me tell you
a few stories that will point out
how county committee, can be telpful
and why there should be some group
in the community that should concern
itself with the quality of work that
Is being done.
"My attention was called to a ten
year old boy at the state training
school who had been living with his
stepfather, but whose father bad been
an ex-service man. He was tho type
of boy both in appearance and dis
position that any ot you would have
lieen glad to have in your home. Vet,
there he was mixed with older crimi
nals and eighteen year old sex per
verts and a young negro who had been
committed for having murdered his
mother. In looking over his record
there wss nothing which warranted
sending a boy of this age to the
'training school for crime' short of
the fact that the family was about
to go on relief and thus made one
less for tbe county to provide for. If
this county had had a group inter
ested in such problems do you think
that they could not have worked out
a better solution for this child and
the other children of this family?
Coordination Dtolared Need
There are, in Oregon 30 different
methods of dealing with dependent
children: 36 different methods of
administering mothers' aid; 36 dif
ferent methods of dealing with de
linquency and probation; 16 differ
ent private child caring institutions,
receiving state subsidies: nine pub
licly owned institutions managed by
political appointees, he said.
"Isn't it time to ponder on what
kind of a Job is being done for the
unfortunates of this stnte at an an
nual cost of $8,500,000 under the
haphazard methods we are using.
Doesn't this remind you somewhat
of the road system we had 20 years
ago with its haphaiard system of
filling the ruts in the spring and
tearing them to pieces in the winter.
We recognized where we crossed tho
county lines by the difference felt
in the bumps in the road. .
"We coordinated our road system
by putting It under state control as
a department of public highways.
"Because we cannot segregate the
chiH from the adult in the funda
mental services we must perform,
we hsve come to the realization that
to best serve this child we must
coordinate all public welfare activi
ties under a department of public
welfare. ' '
'We hope that when such legis
lation la offered every post and
anxiliary of the American Legion
will do its utmost to bring it to a
successful conclusion.
'Not until we bare provided more
adequate care for dependents, not
until we have raised tbe standard of
training of personnel dealing with
dependents, not until we have re
moved the institutions caring for un
fortunates from political manlpnla-

STORY
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE I)
way, where the highway crosses the
railroad tracks. Since the widening of
Franklin boulevard and the installa
tion of three traffic lanes, state
highway commission experts point to
a dangerous situation existing at the
ice plant located north of the
street near the tracks. Chief Berg
man said.
With traffic required by state law
to keep to the rigbt lane except when
passing another machine, traffic has
been swung over to the right and
now passes too close to the loading
platform of tbe Ice plant, officials
of tbe commission declare. With the
traffic stream flowing so close to
these platforms, , is is believed ser
ious accidents may result;
At present a rather makeshift ar
rangement Is in force, whereby a car
is parked on the right hand lane,
forcing cars to awing out into . the
center of tbe street ss- they pass the
ice plant,-and it Is tbis feature that
the highway commission officials es
pecially object to, Bergman said.
Installation of a warning sign of
some sort is being, considered and
the police committee probably will
make a recommendation Friday evening.
"This situation holds great danger
because autos usually go at con
siderable speed at tbis point and the
additional hazard of , tbe railroad
crossing makes the Bpot a serious
problem in traffic control," the chief
suid Thursday. ."Within the past two
weeks a car struck a guard post at
this intersection. The problem is
complicated due to the fact that
any warning placed might tend to con
fuse motorists as there already is a
railroad crossing warulng signal
there."
Two accidents, in which cars, start
ing to make turns, were struck by
autos following them, were reported
to city police. The mneliine driven
east on Sixth by S. Collls Mnssey, was
hit by a car driven by Mrs. Hazel
Archibald at the Clmruelton street
Intersection. A car driven west on
Sixth by Fred Fredericksen, was
struck by a car driven by Oscar
Snow when Fredericksen started to
turn into Lawrence street.
The third accident was a crash at
Tenth and . Chnrnelton where cars
driven by Orman Weaver and Lester
Peterson crashed.
