Mrs. Smith, a native of Nova

World War I, with the Harvard
Unit from Massachusetts, under

pital where she was nursing

' a front line nurse in charge of
a ward in France for three
years.
Her future husband, Walter
Smith, was wounded in action,

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.

Welfare Administrator Reports On Effects Of Technological Changes
' Editor's Note: The following
statement was presented to the
Legislative Interim Committee
hearing on Technological Em
ployment by Mrs. Julia Brown,
Klamath County welfare admin
istrator. 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

rectly interpreted as having an
effect on the public welfare
caseload. 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

cient income to provide ade

er going to work to augment
family income, with the result
ant additional pressures this in
volves, serves as "the last
straw" for many marginal fam
ilies. 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

reversible loss of 30 per cent of
our certified faster homes. This
loss represents 28 homes. Slight

consequence of economic prob

of the twelve involved the wife
seeking employment. The other
ten moved out of the county or

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!
