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

people received aid. This In
crease, she explained, was not
only due to the increased popu
lation but in the growth of the
public's responsibilities. Types
of cases include aid to widows,
unemployable, old age pensions,
dependent children, blind and
general assistance where no oth
er resources are available. There
are now 19 on the staff of the
welfare commission with two
positions unfilled because of lack
of trained personnel available.
Mrs. Bransford told of the
work being done by the govern
or's committee on children and
youth in making numerous sur
veys in preparation of plans for
the White House mid-century
conference and for the study of
youth authority in Oregon. This
committee is under the direction
of Michael Shapiro of Portland

ry Padgham, Mrs. Victor Birds
eye and Mrs. Chester Guchcs of
Mcdford and Mrs. Rodney Keat
ing 01 Asniand. Mrs. Bransford
explained that the youth author
ity model bill was formulated
by the American Bar association
in 1940 when it became recog
nized that there was need for
new treatment of Juveniles and
for coordination in youth serv
ing agencies. Five states have
since set up similar legislation
with the plan now being consid
ered by Oregon. 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. Upon com
pletion of the survey in Orefion
various questions in this regard
will be available for study by
(he league and definite conclu
sions can be drawn. Mrs. Brans
ford also emphasized Jackson
county's need for a detention

! Nurseryman Speaks .
For Garden Group
In Central Point
Central Point Charles Adair,
Medford nurseryman, spoke at
the last meeting of the Central
Point Garden club, held at the
home of Mrs. Everett Faber. His
topic was "The Acid Loving
Aristocrats," and he included
azaleas, camellias, rhododen
drons and daphne.
He gave much valuable and in
structive information on the cul
ture of these shrubs saying that
they all require the same type
of acid soil, the same kind of lo
cation, food and fertilizer and
said good drainage was essential
for their successful growth.
Mr. Adair named many of the
varieties that do best in the
Rogue River valley and demon
strated the proper steps in start-
new plants by cuttings. Beauti
ful specimens of camellias and
azaleas were displayed and pre
sented to ine ciuo.
Another speaker was Mrs.
Warren Patterson, a olub mem
ber, her topic being "Should
Plants Eat Between Meals." Mrs.
Patterson said that plants were
like people and since they do
not choose their homes, must
depend upon the grower for bal
anced diets, some plants need
food every two months, she said,
while others should be supplied
with food only twice a year, and
she emphasized that plants
should not be fed "between
meals."
A potluck herb luncheon was
served at noon, and the St. Pat
rick's day theme was used for
table decorations. Mrs. Francis
Russell assisted Mrs. Faber.
Roll call was answered by
naming an herb, and prizes were
received by Mrs. Robert Kincaid
and Mrs. Patterson.

nual plant sale would be held in
the city fire hall Friday, March

how parents can help their chil
dren become better citizens.

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.
With us it is different Even if it is your first visit our prices
won't make It the last!
