(Knackstedt Photo) Capitol Memo Welfare Budget f D By ZAN STARK Salem-iUPli-It's a long way from, the poor farm of past decades to the socially con- s c 1 o u s wel fare programs of today-boln in terms of service and money. The one - year $44 million budg get approved last year by the state pub lic w e 1 f a r e lurk rnmmiccmn ronroEnntc a war. ly expenditure of more than $22 for every man, woman and child in Oregon. . The $44 million includes $21 million in federal funds, $16.1 million in state money, .and county expenditures of $6.9 million. Bjggusl single "item is $14 million for the aid of de pendent children program. An additional $1 million is budgeted for ADC medical payments. This program is the most famous, and most controver sial of the welfare services available. THE ADC caseload has ex ploded 183 per cent in the past 10 years, and more than 31,000 people are expected to : A T-t-t ill icteivc alh. mis yeui. ADC is available to any child under the age of 16 or 18, if in regular attendance at school who has been de prived of parental support "by reason of the death, con tinued absence, incapacity or unemployment of a parent." Critics claim ADC encou rages illegitimacy. Supporters admit there arc some abuses, but argue that by keeping families together the program helps people who want to help themselves, and eliminates the'necd for other typos of welfare aid. Other major programs in cluded in the public welfare budget for 1963-1904 include $8.9 million for old age assist ance, $6.3 million for old age r.rra CI R millinn fnr aid to dependants, $3.5 mil lion for general assistance, $1.8 million for foster care, $1.5 million for medical aid to dependants, and $1.5 mil lion for medical aid to the aged. In the commission's sum mary of special services for children during March, a net gain of 110 cases was noted. On March 1, 6,438 children were under care. During the month 498 were "dis charged." But 608 children were added to the statewide case load, and on the last day of the month, 6,548 children were receiving care. Of this number. 3.14848 per cent were living with their parents or other rela tives. Another five per cent were living In institutions or elsewhere. The 3,087 children report ed as'living "in foster homes" were either in foster or adop tive homes. Of these 258 were In adop tive homes receiving direct supervision or investigation. A total of 2.685 were under direct 3taff supervision in fos ter homes, and the remaining 144 were living in foster or adoptive homes or other states and agencies. In an effort to get people off the ADC rolls perma nently the public welfare commission has authorized payment of tuition for voca tional training of adults. The idea is to help recipi ents learn skills so they can get jobs and support their families. N Imagine a mother of sev eral small children who has been deserted by her hus band. She has no job skills, and needs all the ADC money to feed, house and clothe her family. She may want to enroll in a training school to learn typing, or shorthand, or some other skill so she can support her own family. But if she was unable to divert a portion of her ADC allotment for education she was trapped on the relief rolls. It is to solve this dilemma that the new vocational train ing aid program was pro posed, under it expenses for training will be allowed "in selected cases." Preference will be given to cases where the recipient has prospect of full time employ ment after no more than one year of training.
