AW O 0 TMUWaUAt. JHWUAHV 10. Ittb3 , MEPFOBD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORP, OREGON Ncwburgh Welfare Program Results in Few Actual Changes Newbursh. N. Y. - UPI) The welfare "crackdown" In this city that atirred na tional Interest a year and a half ago hu resulted in few actual changes. In the summer of 1981 City Manager Joseph MCD. Mitch ell dropped a bombshell when . he proposed a 13-point "get tough" code aimed at remov ing so-called chislcrs from the welfare rolls. His pro gram brought on a storm of attack. From others it drew praise. Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater called it "refresh ing." Today, the program ap pears a dead issue. The state found most of the code con trary to law before 11 could be put into force. Mitchell made headlines again last month when he was arrested on bribery charges in a zoning case. He has since been indicted by a New York county grand jury and awaits trial. City officials report 'that the welfare situation re mains pretty much the same now as before the crackdown controversy. Mitchell appointed the present City Welfare Com missioner, Peter Z. Pelrillo Jr., when Petrillo's prede cessor, John J. O'Donnell re signed in protest shortly be fore the crackdown code was to take effect. Pctrilo, asked what impact Mitchell had had, said, "none of the 13 points were permit ted to be put ito effect. Wei fare department operations, therefore, are about the same as they were two years ago." Recently it was reported there were approximately 550 cases on the city rolls. Ncwburgh has a population of 30,000. Mayor William Ryan, who broke with Mitchell over the controversial code, says "there has been no appreci able change in the number of welfare cases during the past two years and money costs to the city for the wel fare program remain about the same." Ryan said a new investiga tor's post in the department has been created after Mitch ell took over as city manager. The mayor says that since the post was created there have been charges that some wel fare aplicants and recipients have been "harassed." Although his plan was struck down Mitchell con tended that it served its pur pose, primarily as a psycho logical device that prodded various welfare departments into taking a second look at their own programs. Mitchell's code Included these points: The use of vouchers in lieu of cash for rent, food and clothing. - Able-bodied men on re lief capable of working must work 40 hours a week for the building maintenance de partment.' - Physically capable wel fare recipients be denied fur ther aid if the refused work offered. - Unwed mothers who have additional children out of wedlock to be denied further relief. - Applicants who left a Job voluntarily to be denied any relief. - All applicants new to the city to show evidence that "MEDFORD'S FINEST MEATS SINCE 1940 PORK sparembs FRESH SMALL LEAN TENDER SIDES FROM CHOICE EASTERN PORK EXTRA FANCY -TENDER "CHOICE' Aged for Perfect Eating and Well-Trimmed T-BOfJE STEAKS 119 LB.

The New York State Board of Social Welfare is sued a report on the plan and said some of the 13 points were inhuman and indecent, most were illegal, and others were unnecessary. Although the code died, Mitchell toured the country filling several speaking en gagements. Mitchell, 40, became city manager in October, 1960 after filling administrative posts in Culver City, Calif., and Marple Township, Fa. He voluntarily suspended him self last month after being indicted of accepting a bribe to permit a zoning vari ance. Kenneth D. Jones is currently acting City Manager. Family Council Editor'! Ktce: The Family Coun cil consists of a Judge, a psychia trist, three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor, an! ;wo writers. Karh article Is a summary of an actual case history. The Council reports on, problems that have heen dealt with by respon sible accucles and counselors. (Copyright 196:1 General Features Corp.) Lionel Y. - 1 want to help him avoid my mistake. Harry Y. - I'm sure I'll be happy with this girl. Lionel Y. - During the last political campaign, my broth er met a girl who was helping out at party headquarters. He walked her home a few times and, after Election Day, began taking her out. I haven't met her. But when I ask Harry what's so wonderful about her, all he says is she's good company and a lot of fun. That's just about why I got married four years ago. And that's when the good company and the fun ended. After suf fering the tortures of the damned, I got a California di vorce for extreme mental cruelty. I want to slow Harry up before he gets into the same fix. Maybe The Council can tell him whether the girl is really right for him. . Harry Y. - Because he made a mistake, Lionel is bitter about women and marriage. I'm trying not to let his sour ideas spoil my plans. There's something wonder ful and soft about Ruth. From the moment I met her she re minded me of a favorite cousin who's now happily married and living in Ber muda. Ruth has the same ex pression, wears her hair long and .flowing the same way. I'm not quite ready to get engaged. There's a business partnership I'm working out right now. But I've stopping dating other girls and, if I feel the same way about Ruth I'll propose in June. She's as different from Lionel's former wife as night from day. When I introduce her to him, I hope he can view her fairly. The Council: An unfair pun, but Lionel asks his brother to be Ruth-less. Instead of dis cussing Ruth as the future Mrs. Harry Y., we'd rather give Harry a brief check list to use on any girl he may feel like proposing to. And if Lionel's wounds mend, he can let him peek at it too. I Seeking to give our readers ; the very latest angle on mate ! selection, we covered a meet ing where a practicing psy chotherapist spoke on the I topic. And the latest word, we I report, is still the oldest word, j Look for a girl, said the ' speaker, who can meet these I tests: (1) Parents happily mar j ricd. (2) Common interests. (3) ; Willingness to make accom- modations. (4) Equality in sex I drive. (5) Parental frankness about sex. (6) No rejection by parent of opposite sex. ' Although those criteria arc heavy with Freudian over tones, they represent the ones which make or break a mar ringc. according to marriage counselors. It's more than coincidence that a recent uni versity study of "What Makes a Happy Marriage?" came up with almost the identical pointers. But the Council adds a few comments for Harry. All Lionel wants is to put Harry "en garde" because love, as Shakespeare was first to point out. is blind. A University of Michigan researcher proved this in a test of 1H5 male un dcr graduates. In describing a girl they liked, they endowed her with attributes she defi nitely did not possess. We recommend that Harry see Ruth in as many settings as possible. How dues she respond to disappointment, to discomfort, to distress? He ought also look closely at her family and friends for clues to her real attitudes. So far he seems entrapped by out ward "symbols," her hair and m. inner winch remind him of someone he admires. This is f.ur neither to himself nor Ruth. She may be a complete ly different type of person from the paragon in Bermuda she resembles physically. 1 HEADQUARTERS FOR ELECTRIC AND PLUMBING SUPPLIES I '"'-':r r - AV.-.'A'.V..jy.'.AV.W'-.- TITAN PORTABLE HEATER 220 V. 3000 Watt With Fan and : Thermostat 10-Yr.
