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.

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.

local administrator pointed out,
but has been reduced to only two
months this year.
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.
