Three Teenage Boys Cited For Vandalism M is MRS. GENEVIEVE SMITH Longtime Resident Dies Here BONANZA Mrs. Genevieve L. Smilh, 75, a resident of Klamatih County since 1926, died in Hillside Hospital Friday, Nov. 1. She had been iH since June. Mrs. Smith, a native of Nova Scotia, Luenbur County, born Feb. 18, IBM, volunteered to serve as a registered nurse in World War I, with the Harvard Unit from Massachusetts, under the British. She was a graduate of Massachusetts General Hos pital where she was nursing when war came. She served as ' a front line nurse in charge of a ward in France for three years. Her future husband, Walter Smith, was wounded in action, cared for by Genevieve Lantz and returned to the United States. The couple was married in Bishop, Calif., on July 20, 1921. They ranched in California in the Owens Valley, before coming to Klamath County where they settled on a farm, continuing to live there. Mrs. Smith was a member of the Baptist Church but had at 'tended the Full Gospel Church at Lorella where she was a member of the Missionary Soci ety. During her earlier life she was active in grange work.

Three teen-age youths were arrested by Klamath Falls po lice Friday afternoon as ber ing responsible for part of the wave of vandalism that struck Klamath Falls Halloween night. They were identified as Jerry Oliashea, 15, 1218 Owens; Roger Bryan Bell, 16, 108 Laguna, and Monte 'Lewis Chandler, 17, 343 Hillside. Police said a fourth boy was with this trio, but was not ac tively involved m the breaking of hundreds of dollars in win dows, and therefore was not held. The til tec were held in City Jail at the request of juvenile authorities. Police said all admit break ing 18 windows out of Shondo's Drive-In, Martin and Main, and one boy said they also shattered four large front windows and two glass doors at Calhoun's Floor Covering and the Build er's Supply, both on East Main Street. In addition to this, they admit breaking windows in two cars. AH of the vandalism was done with a wrench and the boys could give police no reason for it. Police said the four had left the Moose Lodge Halloween dance when the vandalism oc curred. Police came across the four boys at Shondo's and recognized one, but they were able to elude police. With the recognition, however, that boy was soon picked up and the other two who were involved. Meanwhile, police continued to investigate other acts of van dalism throughout the ciity Hal loween night. Dozens of reports of window breakings and paint smearings were received. It is not believed the three boys ar rested Friday were involved in the other incidents, since tliey were on foot and the incidents were scattered throughout the oity. In addition to the list of van dalism in Friday's Herald and News, police have received two new reports of destruction. A beer bottle was tossed through a window at the Olym pia Grocery, 2123 Holly Street, and Mrs. J. . Marshall. 3.16 Michigan, reported that her picket fence w as torn down.

By Julia Brown ' There are not many facts readily available to support any report of the effects of Techno logical Employment on a coun ty public welfare caseload. The facts are there, in each case record, but lacking the staff or the time to do this type of so cialogical research, the only facts that I can give you are contained in the following brief tables. I have taken the liberty of drawing some conclusions from these facts and from the day to day experience in admin istering a county public welfare program. The effects of the mechaniza tion of the potato harvest are the most easily discernible and there are some actual figures to support the conclusions. In the following table I have set forth the General Assistance caseload and expenditures for the months of July, August, September, Oc tober, and November. To offset some changes in the clerical procedures involving the dosing process, I have also included the expenditures. You will note the general rise in both cases and expenditures to the peak of I960. Then there is a quite dra matic drop, both in caseload and expenditures. Since this co incides with the extended use of machinery in potato harvest, I feel mechanization can be cor H mm n ir xw- FROM THE NOTED WORKROOMS OF H E YWOOD -WAKEFIELD, EST. 1826.

I do not think the evi dence of fewer workers coming into the Basin, as illustrated through the caseload, can be determined to mean tliat there has been more work in the Val ley. Since 1961 there have been several "short crop" experienc es in the Valley. It is an inter esting conjecture where have those people gone, who used to come here, and what are they doing? Formerly the hea vy influx of people in need at this time of year came from Northern California and the Wil lamette Valley, and left for the Bakersfield-Shafter area when our relatively short harvest was completed. During the same period of time, 1 have set forth m this next table the rise in the Aid to Dependent Children caseload. From my day to day experience in the office, I feel that a good part of this rapid rise is due to the financial situations of the families involved. There are many .problems present in the family, but the added pressure of loss of job, with loss of in come; or a job without suffi cient income to provide ade quately; or the wife and moth CASELOAD July Aug.

This interpretation, though perhaps not scientifically sound, derives strongly from our expe rience of the years 1960-61 (with its period of economic stress in this community) and the star tling increase in the ADC case load by 1962. Again, this is im pression, but 1 am sure that very few of tlie husbands and fathers involved have had em ployment as a skilled crafts man. These men are usually employed as laborers and there is a tightening up of such work available, at the same time that there is an increase of unskilled youth entering the labor mar keL Taking the period from June, 1960-June, 1961 the county expe rienced a gradual but almost ir reversible loss of 30 per cent of our certified faster homes. This loss represents 28 homes. Slight ly less than half (12) were the consequence of economic prob lems (or so it was stated). Two of the twelve involved the wife seeking employment.

One additional home remained in the community, but it was necessary to grant ADC on a step-parent basis after the Unemployment Compensation Benefit was exhausted end be fore new employment was ob tained. The twelve mentioned above were not all mill work ers, but the economic slow down influenced their own resources i.e., one was a construction worker of a very skilled nature, one was a carpenter-builder, one was a salesman.

In June of 1961 the agency be gan finding new additions to the foster home register, but in Jan uary of 1962 began losing ground to a new low represent ing 36 per cent less than the 1960 level. Our impression is that much of this loss was a backwash from the proceeding year, since we still had the chil dren needing care and the re maining homes were over-used. Thus, they became a permanent loss to the agency from these pressures, where with a more favorable register these people could have been given a "rest." August of 1963 we had again achieved the 1960 level of oper ation hut what a struggle!
