Senior Services Division
makes change
Senior citizens and some
disabled persons will have an
easier time applying for ser
vices from the State of Oregon
under a change that went into
effect January 3 announced
the Senior Citizen Division in
Salem.
Through a "single entry
system" senior citizens and
the disabled will apply for food
stamps, cash assistance,
home care, adult foster care
and nursing home care at the
local office of the Senior Ser
vices Division (S.S.D.) or the
Area Agency on Aging.
Previously, the Adult and
Family Services Division
(A F.S.) handled applications
for food stamps and cash
grants.
"We think this change
makes good sense," said Dick
Ladd. administrator of the
Senior Services Division. "It
will enable people who need
help to get it in one place.

craft and social times at the
center will begin working on
projects for the December

Everyone with extra time is
welcome to join the ladies at
the center on Thursdays from
1 to 4 p.m. Also, anyone with
craft ideas is asked to share
their expertise with the ladies.
Volunteer instructors are wel
come. Since the Senior Services Di
vision was created two years
ago. the elderly have pushed
hard for this kind of change.
We think the transfer will
accomplish this goal."
The single entry system
idea became possible when
the 1983 Oregon Legislature
approved the transfer of pro
