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

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.

Bolton, Conn. - 0IPH - The
board of selectmen Wednes
day night rejected Richard
Morra's request for $100 dam
ages because a . town-owned
vehicle backed into his truck.
The board said the town's ve

nadian design crashed near

Science Students
Present Report on
Bear Creek Area
Ashland -Four Southern
Oregon college students pre
sented an interim report on
the Ecological Reconnaissance
of Bear Creek Drainage re
search project at the 28th an
nual Oregon Student Science
conference at Reed college,
Portland, recently.
George Gllnian, Medford,
presented the introduction and
background information rela
tive t? the project which is
being sponsored by a grant
from the National Science
Foundation.
Bruce Witters, Grants Pass,
reported on mammals ob
served during the course of
watershed study; Larry Waite,
North Bend, on the tome,
"Plants," and Dick Reiling,
Klamath Falls, reported on
"Diptera."
Bear creek, which lies In
south central Jackson county,
originates near the California
border, runs north through
Ashland and Medford, joining
the Rogue river several miles
northwest of Medford.
According to Dr. Irene Hol
lenbeck, SOC professor of
science and education, who
accompanied the students, the
reports represent the first few
months of a long term project
to describe the communities of
the area.
Work at this time is devoted
to determining which species
of vascular plants, flies, and
mammals are present, their
seasonal activities, and their
interactions with other species
in 40 acre plots'.
Two such plots, located at
an elevation of 5,000 feet or,
northwest - facing slopes, are
under study. One is in the Sis
kiyou mountains and the other
in the Cascades, Dr. Hollen
beck reported.

Try and Stop Me
-By BENNETT CERF -
HOW ARE WE going to dissuade military generals from
writing their memoirs? Tnere, was a top-drawer mili
tary reception in Washington recently at which Prime Min
ister Macmulan of Brit
ain encountered Former
President Eisenhower. "I
dare say you've never
seen so many generals in
one phce in your life be
fore, eh, Harold?" ven
tured the former Presi
dent. 'Indeed I have,"
contradicted Mr. Mac
millan, "but I've never
seen so many authors!"
Perian Conerly, lovely
wife of Charlie Conerly,
great football star of yes
teryear, tells in her spirited
book, "Backseat Quarterback," of the time one of Conerly'
teammates broke Into the gossip columns by romancing a fa
mous Hollywood pin-up girl. A wit posted this notice on the
Giants' bulletin board: "Miss So-and-So learned more defensive
maneuvers in one evening than our amorous back wa able to
absorb in two whole yean as a pro."
A sturdy Texas lad came down to breakfast one morning and
declared, "What a day! I feel like a million dollars." His
mother, deeply concerned, cried, "Darling! What makes you to
depressed?"
