Newspaper Page TextWelfare Commission Review Process of Jackson county public wel fare commission members learned last week how a pros pective welfare recipient is processed at 132 West Fourth St. Receptionist Mrs. Evelyn Miller explained to commis sion members how she re ceives and refers recipients to the proper welfare case worker. She is the key person in rapid and proper process ing of all cases, Welfare Ad ministrator David Kuhns said. "The older people who come to us for old age assist ance are often confused over what they want," Mrs. Miller said. "Often what they want is the social security office." Applicants Vary Aid to dependent children applicants vary as to what to expect, Mrs. Miller comment ed. Unwed mothers are often vague about what they want. They either tell all their trou bles to the receptionist, or are tight-lipped and will not talk. In general assistance cases, the focus is on the husband, Kuhns said. A job has to be found for him or enough finan cial assistance provided to put the family on their feet until he gets a job. Many times the husband will sit out in the car and send his wife in. Then the problem is for the receptionist or case worker to find out where the husband is and get him in for an inter view. Oran Ojier, intake social worker, noted file of question naires and forms commission members held, and said all of the forms would be used in the first 30 minutes of inter view. Find Jobs for Men "Often we can find the man a job. We have good relations with the employment service. I just have to pick up the phone and call there. If they have a job they will fit our man to it," Ojier noted. One form contains such ba sic information as name, ad dress, how the interview is made, by self or another per son, names of children, ages, how initial contact is made and reason for withdrawal of application if it is withdrawn. Another form includes such information as marital status, date of marriage, children liv ing in the home, account of marriages, residential history, education, and similar sub jects. Declare Financial Resources A prospective recipient must also fill out a form declaring all property and financial re sources. This includes insur ance, social -security, retire ment and unemployment bene SOBBING SIMS SAYS: AVE DISCOUNT ROAD RACING SETS AMERICAN FLYER (Reg. 34.95) 14.88 ATLAS TURBO-EXPRESS (Reg. 29.95) 14.88 STROMBECKER (Reg. 24.95) 17J7 PENN LINE (Reg. 24.95) 19.88 AURORA DRAG STRIP Use this to add on to your Si I 88 Regular Aurora Set "X SCIENCE SETS Heath Lionel Gilbert -ALL DISCOUNTED lOiOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOlOIOiOiOlO fits, house trailer, and home. All relatives must be listed so they can be contacted re garding the relative respon sibility act which makes chil dren financially responsible for their parents providing they have a certain income. A form is sent to responsi ble relatives to fill out and a copy is given to the recipi ent. "If an application is refused an applicant never leaves this office without being told why," Ojier said. Authorizes Research Work Another form authorizes the welfare department to make any research into a re cipient's background that is necessary. Also provided is informa tion in ADC cases which can be used for prosecution of a deserting father by the district attorney's office. The district attorney's office feels it is now successful in settling 73 per cent of the cases filed. Another form involves a complete personality profile of the recipient. Case work ers can tell from this, gener ally, as to what kind of help the person needs. It may be financial, counseling, psychi atric, educational (re-training), or a combination of these. This form reveals such things as potential for self support, work experience, handling and use of money, and financial problems. It also evaluates personal char acteristics in relation to oth ers and the adult self-image (how does the man or woman see himself), and adult problems. The Collector's Corner Colecting is fun, Interesting and educational. November gave the stamp collector a busy month. Nov. 1 was the first day of issue for our Christmas stamp.

Another form provides for identification of the problem: financial, adult, child rearing, child, health, potential prob lems, relates them to family members and gives the goal for each problem solution, plus potential problems. Resources available for so lution of problems also are listed, then a periodic check is kept on how the "patient" is responding to treatment. Other forms show how the case was processed, provide separate forms summing up living expenses, provide for medical care, and employ ment record. Kuhns noted a form on which the general assistance applicant is required to list employers contacted in one day. Either the man works on the welfare crew, finds a job or he is taken off assistance rolls, Kuhns said. There is no free ride. While not on the welfare work crew performing vari ous county projects, each man is required to actively look for a job. A full eight hours must be spent in con tacting employers and a re port returned to the welfare department showing those em ployers contacted. "This sheet often gives a recipient direction and helps him to organize his job hunt ing systematically," Kuhns said. "Most of them do find jobs; many find permanent ones." Christmas stamps. Nov. 14 gave us "Higher Education" stamp. It is a nice looking one, and portrays the traditional "Lamp of Learning" against a bas-relief map of the United States.

OREGON, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1962 Contract Awarded to Remodel Restaurant At Medford Airport A contract for the renova tion and remodeling of the restaurant at the Medford municipal airport was award ed to a Medford firm by the city council last week. Awarded the contract was Associated Equipment and Supply company, 2747 North Pacific highway, which sub mitted a net bid of $14,064.35. Three other firms submitted bid proposals. The contract calls for re placement of all equipment in the dining room, including chairs, tables, booths, service counter and refrigeration unit. Most of the equipment in the kitchen of the restaurant also will be replaced. Some items, however, such as the ice machine and the gas range, will be cleaned and reconditioned. New tile floors, lighting fixtures and verticle Venetian blinds will be installed in the remodeling project.

At the conclusion of the meeting. Mayor John W. Sni der announced that a final council session has been set for 7:30 p.m. Dec. 27, to give the council an opportunity to clear up any unresolved city business before the end of the year. Jacksonville School Has Holiday Evenf Jacksonville -"A Christmas Meditation," a Jacksonville school primary grades Christ mas program, was presented Dec. 19. Attendance was reported the largest in the history of the school. Santa Claus gave a treat to every child. Treats were sponsored by the Jacksonville Ruth Rebek ah Lodge, Royal Neighbors of America, Garden Club, Vol unteer Firemen, American Legion, Lions club, Robertson E. Collins, and Jacksonville PTA.

On the Air By ELEANOR WIESE Devotional services will be telecast live Christmas Eve and Christmas Day as high lights of this year's holiday schedule, which also includes a ballet, a Menotti opera, sea sonal music and dancing, and a dramatization of the Nati vity. This should all be very pleasant, although it is some what disappointing. Somehow I expect the TV networks to utilize their technical magic to produce a really spectacu lar glittering Christmas gift for us viewers. Apparently the skyrocketing costs of spe cial productions almost pro hibit anything too original. Standard formats or repeats of former successes are the rule which smacks of warmed-over turkey.

Most families had more money to spend, after payment of taxes, than In tha previous year. It made for a healthy volume of business activity. i The report, which gauges the economic strength of com munities In every section of the country, was released by the Standard Rate and Data Service. It covers the 12 months ending June 30, 1962. Net Income in Year Residents of Medford, it shows, had a net income in the year, after taxes, of $93, 850,000. This compares with the previous year's net of $50,486,000. The rise, which amounted to 6.6 per cent, was greater than that recorded in tha United States as a whole, 41 per cent. The state of Oregon had a 1.9 per cent gain. Looking at the income in terms of the family unit, a figure arrived at by dividing total income by the number of households, the average lo cally was $6,092 per house hold compared to $5,891 in fiscal 1961. Up to the middle of this year, when the drop in tha slock market occurred, busi ness in Ihe United Slates had been edging upward for a number of months. Consumers had been turning their in creased income into purchases of more goods and services. Watch, Wait Attitude After the drop, they assum ed a watch-and-wait altltuda throughout the summer, spending at a reduced rate. Now, with the easing of in ternational tensions and with their confidence renewed by the recent recovery on Wall Street, they are again in tha market place in force. Just how well the Medford consumer performed in tha fiscal year is disclosed by the figures, which show that he spent a total of $65,874,000 In local retail stores, compar ed to $65,677,000 previously. I For most types of retail business, there was an in crease in volume in the year, especially among those sell ing cars, hi-fi sets, washing machines and other durable goods and appliances. The service industries con tinued growing, but at a slow er pace than in other years. FLOOR POLISHER Scrubs, Wixat, Polish.., Bufft, Even Clean Rugs Include. Attachment.
