TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, April 29. 19S2 Total Budget for Welfare Lower Than 1951-52; County Portion Up The 1952-53 estimated annual budget for Jackson County's Aid and Welfare department is S132, 500 less than that for the cur rent fiscal year, according to Mrs. Blanche Lyman, department ad ministrator, i The total figure for all funds is $1,119,600 she said, as com pared with $1,252,105 for the current fiscal year. The county's share on a percentage basis has raised, however, Mrs. Lyman rioted, from $199.8?1 for the present year, to $20,718 for the proposed budget. Federal Funds Less The administrator explained the change as resulting from the fact that federal participation will be less, thus making a larger contribution necessary from state and local govern ments. An example is the fed eral reduction of old age assist ance participation from 50 per cent in the current year to 45 per cent for the next fiscal year. This has raised the state percent age participation 3.5 per cent and the county 1.5 per cent. The estimated budget for the next fiscal year beginning June 30 includes the following for Jackson county: $58,000 for gen eral assistance; $24,000, foster home; $773,000, old age assist ance; $166,500, aid to dependent children; $8,500, aid to blind; and $89,600, aid to permanently and totally disabled. Mrs. Lyman de scribed the latter category as the "newest and fastest-growing" of the funds. This fund takes in the cases not included in some of the others, she added. Besides the budget, the wel fare commission was concerned .effect until September 1, Mrs. last Frirlav with the matter of Lyman 'pointed out. the new aid to dependent chil- A similar order was in effect1 dren order from Miss Loa How-!for three months in 1951, the ard, state administrator at Port land. In a letter dated March 28, Miss Howard notified the county that "effective July 1, 1952, chil dren 14 through 17 years, with the exception of physically and mentally handicapped children or those in emergent need, will be ineligible for public assist ance."

Jackson at Fir MEDFORD Student Recovering Following Exposure Kelso (U.R) John Crawford, 24-year-old University of Wash ington student from Sunnyside, Wash., was recovering at a Long view hospital Monday from mild exposure and frost bite after spending two nights and one day on Mt. St. Helens. Crawford told state police here that he was caught in a blizzard as he attempted to scale the mountain alone. He left the Harry Truman lodge area about 7 p.m. Friday and was found on a north slope road by an uni dentified searcher Sunday. A search for Crawford had just been organized when he was found. The hunt immediately was called off. Governor Warren's Representative Visits James F, Lowcry, a personal representative of California's Gov. Earl Warren, was a Mcdford visitor Monday. He revealed that Governor Warren plans to visit Medford sometime during his pre-primary election campaign trip through Oregon, probably after May 6. Warren will conduct an active Campaign in Oregon for the state's Republican presidential preference, Lowery reported and Medford will be one of the cities he will visit. The governor is one of several leading presidential candidates seeking the Republican nomina tion. Kansas City, Mo. Ul.R Mrs, Barbara Schwartz Roberts, 60, the wife of Roy A.

The order explains its purpose by stating that "it is anticipated that employment will be suffic ient to maintain their (children s) living standards during the sum mer months. 'In most cases lack of employ ment or of employment opportu nities will not in itself constitute a situation of emergent need as contemplated in the stale excep tion, the letter pointed out. Law Makes Difficulty Mrs. Lyman added tnat the order makes for some difficulty when a temporary permit for each case under 16 must be ob tained from the state labor com missioner because of the child labor law. The child must first obtain a job, then the employer must apply for the permit, she pointed out. Last year, in an effort to work out this situation, the Juvenile Court Advisory committee was concerned with the problem and had a committee under the chair manship of Gilbert Tumy holp ing'he youths get jobs. Mrs. Ly man said that the committee's "wonderful work" would be con tinued again this summer. The administrator pointed out that "if the order is the consen sus of the will of the commu- j nuy, u is up lo tne area to help provide opportunities for chil dren in this age group." Foster Care Up In the department's statistical report for March of this year, an increase is shown in the foster homes fund with 44 children taken care of as compared with only 26 in March of 1951. Old age assistance declined for the month with 1.057 cases as op posed to 1,075 in 1951. Rodney Keating, Ashland, co chairman of the commission pre sided at last Friday's meeting in the absence of A.
