his insurance policy does not cover
such a case. The insurance company
won the case.
If uncle Bill had carried collision
coverage, such as a $100 deductible
clause, the insurance company
would pay for all damages over $100.

POWER OF ATTORNEY
Bill’s father had been in a nursing
home for three months. The doctor
told Bill that his father, though com­
petent and clear headed at the time,
would probably get less and less
rational as time went on.
The doctor also said that the fa­
ther probably would not live longer
than another year or a year and a
half.
Bill and his brothers and sisters
held a meeting and decided that
since Bill was the eldest, they should
all ask their father to give Bill a
power of attorney. The brothers and
sisters thought this was wise, be­
cause they felt that Bill could han­
dle the father’s business affairs un­
der the power of attorney after the
father became incompetent. They al­
so thought that Bill could probably
wind up his father’s estate, acting
under the power of attorney, after
their father died.
Do you think the brothers and sis­
ters are right about the use of a
power of attorney?
Unfortunately for Bill and his bro­
thers and sisters, they were com­
pletely wrong about the use and ef­
fect of a power of attorney. A power
cf attorney only remains valid so
long as the person granting it is
both competent and alive. When
Bill’s father became incompetent,
the power of attorney would be use­
less and any act Bill did for his fa­
ther under the power of attorney
would be subject to attack later in
the courts.
Likewise, any act Bill took after
his father’s death, relying on the
power of attorney, would be invalid.
A power of attorney can create a
very useful legal relationship, but it
has very definite legal limitations.
Anyone holding a power of attorney
should learn the limitations on his
authority, for his own protection.

Extension Aid
To Homemakers
During the past year over 500 Co­
lumbia county homemakers partici­
pated in the informal Oregon State
Extension program.
Margaret Allyn, Columbia county
extension agent, points out that this
is an educational service and pro­
vides a reliable source of information
for the homemakers of the county
to help them make choices and solve
problems of family and community.
This program covers all phases of
home living. First there is financial
management which includes insur­
ance, credit, investments, social se­
curity and budgeting.
Other areas included are: foods
and nutrition, clothing and textiles,
home furnishings, home manage­
ment, and family life, Mrs. Allyn
points out. The program is brought
to the homemakers through organiz­
ed groups throughout the county.
During October the homemakers
will be discussing the first project
of the year, "Knowing Your Plaids
and Stripes”. There are different
types of plaids and stripes available
— both balanced and unbalanced.
They will learn how to recognize
these different types, how to choose
them for home sewing and learn
what to look for when buying ready
mades.
The second project, for November,
will be “Creative Baking with Mix­
es”. This project emphasizes using
commercial
mixes for a headstart on

Catalogs are now available detail­
ing courses offered through corres­
pondence instruction at both the col­
lege and the high school level.
The 1964-65 bulletin of correspon­
dence courses is published by the di­
vision of continuing education of the
Oregon state system of higher edu­
cation. Instruction is offered through
the independent study office, which
is part of a DCE unit, the office of
state-wide services.
More than 180 college courses in
27 major ardhs, and approximately
40 high school courses in seven prin­
cipal subjects are offered through

Both credit and non-credit college

dent study.

YOUR JOB—
(NOTE: This column is written
weekly and published by this news­
paper as an educational and public
service. If you have questions with
regard to the Oregon State Employ­
ment Service ar/d-or Oregon Unem­

QUESTION: I worked all summer
and am now attending college. My
employer paid into the Unemploy­
ment Fund for me. Can I collect
unemployment insurance while at­
tending school?
ANSWER: The Oregon Depart­
ment of Employment law specifical­
ly states that in order to qualify for
benefits a person must be able to
work, available for work, actively
seeking, and unable to find suitable
work. Generally speaking students
would not be able to qualify for bene­
fits under these terms. In other
words, persons who are attending
school full time cannot hold down a
job and are not available for work.
They would not, therefore, be eligi­
ble for benefits.

The Public
Welfare Question
(Questions about public welfare
which are of general interest are
answered in this column as a public
service. Help with individual prob­
lems is available at your county wel­
fare office.)
Is there a limit to the length of
time a person can get welfare bene­
fits?
Persons who require emergency
General Assistance and do not have
Oregon residence are limited to 14
days’ assistance per year in most
cases. For all other persons the
length of time assistance is availa­
ble is determined by individual
needs. Assistance recipients are en­
couraged to become self-supporting
as quickly as possible where age and
physical condition permit.
Do you need a social work degree
to get a job in public welfare?
Beginning caseworker jobs are
available to college graduates: some
background in the social sciences is
preferable but not required. More
advanced positions in public wel­
fare, including supervisory jobs, do
require graduate training in social
work but certain carefully selected
employees each year receive grants
to enable them to obtain their pro­
fessional training.
My daughter will graduate from
high school at 16. Will she be taken
out of m y aid to dependent children
grant?
Eligibility for inclusion in an Aid
to Dependent Children grant can
continue up to age 18, regardless of
whether a child is in school, if there
is not enough income to meet the
need. Your daughter should be plan­
ning, however, toward some type of
employment when she completes her
education so that she will be able to
support herself in the future.
What is the function of the welfare
investigator I have heard about?
The welfare investigator looks into
cases where there is suspicion of
fraud or of an unrelated man living
in the home of a welfare recipient.
Investigators may act on referral,
either from the public or from coun­
ty offices where the caseworker is
unable to obtain sufficient informa­
tion by ordinary casework methods.
In many instances the investigator
helps the recipient by clearing him of
suspicion where there is some ques­
tion which the caseworker is unable
to resolve without help.
