PAGE FOURTEEN HERALD "AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, .OREGON AUgUM 13, Welfare Workers Take on Duties Geared With War A number of new services, most of them in conjunction with the war effort and not per taining to financial assistance, have been made a part of the du ties of the Klamath County Pub lic Welfare commission. This is true throughout the state as well as locally. An analysis of the work done by the agency during the past 30 . days can be shown as follows: Leading the list of new activi ties is the service of placing cml drcn of working mothers in pri- . vate homes for part or full time care. Following a survey of Klamath homes by local block leaders recently, a register was set up at the welfare office with cards designating homes wnicn would take in children and those wishing to place youngsters. Interviews Interviews with 85 homes, which have volunteered to take children, are ' at present being conducted by members of the staff. Already 10 children have been placed in foster homes. Both homes where children may work for part of their room and board and homes where full payment of board is paid by the parents are provided. According to Mrs. Altha Urqu- hart, administrator of the wel fare commission, daily telephone calls and requests in person are being received at her office for the placing of children. Need Rural Homes At present there is a need for rural homes to take in young sters. So far mostly urban homes have applied and there are some homes where full payment of board is paid by the parents are provided. According to Mrs. Altha Urqu hart, administrator of the wel fare commission, daily telephone calls and requests in person are being received at her office for the placing of children. Need Rural Homes At present there is a need for rural homes to take in young sters. So far, mostly urban homes have applied and there are some parents who would like a place in the country to leave their children. Anyone interested in taking or placing children are urged to contact the welfare office by call ing 4111 or by applying in per son. Selective Service Another social service of the local welfare agency are refer rals from the selective service bureau. In the past month 161 cases of this kind have been tak en care of. The local agency has also giv en service to 35 welfare cases not in this county, during the past few weeks. Approximately 30 crippled children's cases were taken care of here for the month of July, and 22 youngsters, deprived of parental care, have been placed in foster homes, their care su pervised and paid for by the wel fare agency. The commission strives at all times to keep the child in the community rather than send it to an institution. Budget Soma The welfare budget for Sep tember for financial assistance is much the same as those for the past three months, it was learned from' Mrs. Urquhart. She said that for the past few months the agency had the lowest case load in history. The commission does not help persons who are capable of earning money for themselves and due to the great number of jobs now available, even for old- er or handicapped persons, a large number of cases have been taken off their hands. However, though the number of cases have increased, the amount, of money needed to sup port the cases they have left has to be increased so much because of higher living costs, that the budget is not greatly lowered. Budget figures for September are as follows: $3800, general as sistance; $6300, old age assist ance; $1400, aid to dependent children; $100, assistance for the blind. The county pays about 20 per cent of these amounts, the rest coming from state and fed eral funds.
