TWO MFDFOBD (OREGON) cmma League Speaker Explains Welfare Concept and Cost The tremendous growth In the concept of the responsibility of the public for social welfare work and the increased cost to tax payers was emphasized in a talk given by Mrs. Blanche Lyman, acministrator of the Jackson county public welfare department at the meeting of the League of Women Voten held Saturday after noon at the Rogue Valley Country club. Also speaking Saturday was Mrs. Lloyd Bransford, chairman of the welfare committee of the league, who briefly outlined the work of the committee in assist ing with the survey for the youth authority commission now un der discussion for Oregon. Mrs. Lyman explained the work of the welfare commission, now it is financed and the types of cases handled. Using 1830 as a comparative year, she stated that Jackson county spent ap proximately $33,000 during that year for social welfare work while the budget for this fiscal year in the county is one mil lion dollars. Of this, a part will be financed by the federal gov ernment, a part by the state and the balance by the county. In 1930 she stated there were about 250 cases per month while in January of this year 1706 When the Day's Work Is Done . . . , . , There's Vf Nothing Like the REVOLUTIONARY NEW 3t CHAIR LOUNGES In FRIEZE and TAPESTRY Hew Colors!

In handling de linquency among Juveniles, Mrs. Bransford stated that the youth authority ascertains the condi tions which cause the delinquen cy and through trained workers attempts to treat and rehabili tate the child rather than taking punishment measures.

I VICTOR Says: We don't want you to think we are like the itory of the bar tender, remember When a reindeer walked in and asked for a acotch and soda? the bartender served him and he drank it and aiked how much he owed him. 150 said the bartender and by the way I don't believed I have ierved a reindeer before. Did you lay 91.50 for a icotch and soda, laid the reindeer. Yes, said the bar tender. Then it will probably be the last time, said the reindeer.
