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.
