PHONE SP 3-4620 Clatsop County Program Helps Area's ADC Mothers Portland - Helping mothers who come under the Aid to Dependent Children classifi cation of public welfare recip ients to learn to help them selves in adjustments as home makers and active members of normal society, is a prime ob jective of the Oregon State Public Welfare commission Such a self-help program is being tried by the Clatsop County Public Welfare depart ment, Astoria, under the di rection of Mrs. Bertha Roth, Clatsop County Welfare ad ministrator. These self-help programs are expected to eventually lighten the load of the welfare deparlment-both financially and for service of caseworkers. , Mrs. Roth is conducting the program in two ways: the first by having periodic meet ings of the ADC Mothers to discuss their problems and benefit from the way in which they, themselves, are meeting family and financial crises. The second half is by having a staff member of the county department, on the mother's request, leach her housekeep ing skills and household man agement, that she can better give her family the maximum benefits available with her limited income. Exchange of Information At the ADC Mothers' meet ings, the mothers discuss such projects as sewing, exchange low-cost recipes and menus, and mutual interests. These meetings improve the morale of the mothers, many of whom have dropped out of all com munity activities because of lack, of funds or discourage ment. Gradually, the mothers have been encouraged to par ticipate in community and church activities a move which encourages their chil dren and widens the interests and adjustments of the entire family group, Mrs. Roth re ports. The ADC Mothers are for the most part eager for this help, the administrator report ed at the completion of a three-months' program. An other such program is now be ing set up, and there is a pos sibility that similar meetings and aid will be available soon for interested persons receiv ing general assistance. Landscaping Topic for Unit Shady Cove - A lesson on landscaping will be given by Mrs. Clifford Sikes and Mrs. Ruth Pfeifer at the Tuesday, February 21, meeting of the Shady Cove Home Extension unit at the home of Mrs. Pfeifer, Old Ferry road. The meeting will start at 10:30 a.m. A plant exchange will be held and members have been asked to take their coupons.

Mr. Bosworth the painter can not be divorced from the Bos worth who designs buildings. Since he lives in the Twenti eth Century, his work is of I now. But his work is not like that of any other. Within the self imposed limitations as to color and size, Mr. Bosworth, in his paintings, creates and develops visual statements of great lyrical beauty."
