The majority of people on welfare
are those who are unable to work be­
cause of age, disability or other fac­
tors. In the Aid to Dependent Child­
ren program, which does include em­
ployable people with children, one-
half of all cases are closed within a
year from the date of application.
The majority of these people leave
welfare for employment. However,
many recipients have no skills and
little education and require some sort
of job training before they can hope
to find employment. Most recipients
have welcomed opportunities to get
training or on-the-job experience that
will enable them to become self-sup­
porting.

move out of the state can her welfare

check early for any minute sign of
decay or any malformation which
might lead to orthodontic problems
when the child is older.
The fact that your child does not
“seem to have any cavities” does
not mean that some decay may not
be present. In fact, the American
Dental Association has found that
dental patients under 4 years of age
have an average of three teeth need­
ing fillings.
When a child is exposed to routine
treatment at an early age, he rarely
develops the fear which many adults
have so long associated with dental
treatment.
The importance of good care for
the primary or "baby" teeth cannot
be overemphasized. A child needs his
primary teeth, as he does his perma­
nent ones, for chewing, for speaking
and for appearance. Also, these first
teeth hold the space for the perma­
nent teeth to come.

My 14-year-old son has been told by
his dentist that he has 12 cavities,
which the dentist plans to fill. Is
there anything my children can do to
keep from having so much tooth de­
cay?
There are simple rules which, if
followed faithfully, can help to reduce
decay. These are:
1. Cut down on sweets, especially
between meals.
2. Brush teeth immediately after
eating (snacks as well as regular
m eals.) When this is not possible,
rinse your mouth thoroughly with
water.
3. Have regular dental checkups.
This enables the dentist to discover

Public welfare nursing home rates
are determined by the patient’s phy­
sical condition and the type of care
required. A welfare recipient can go
to any nursing home that is willing to
accept him as a patient at the rate
that welfare can pay for his type of
care. Welfare recipients occupy more
one-half of the nursing home
teds in Oregon and many of the new­

Why is the old age assistance pro­
gram declining when we have a larg­
er aged population than ever?
More and more people are covered
by social security. Many people need
assistance only when their physical
condition reaches a point where they
are no longer able to care for them­
selves and nursing home care is now
provided under the Medical Assist­
ance for the Aged program rather
than Old Age Assistance program.

No. Assistance can be provided to
persons living out of state for only a
temporary period of not more than
two months. After that time, the re­
cipient must return to Oregon unless
there is medical evidence of inability
to do so. Otherwise the grant is dis­
continued.

The recipient must pay a certain
amount for his food stamps out of his
grant. However, the “bonus” stamps
he receives do not reduce his grant
since the purpose of the Food Stamp
Program is to provide better nutri­
tion for low-income families.

Why isn’t the assistance grant re­
duced if a person gets food stamps?
Oregon’s tentative official traffic
death toll for 1964 set a new all-time
record for the state, wiping out a
record set in 1963 when deaths top­
ped the 500 mark for the first time.
The 577 deaths reported so far
from 1964 accidents represent a two
percent increase over the 563 re­
ported in 1963, according to the 'Traf­
fic Safety and Education Division of
the Department of Motor Vehicles.
The figure may be revised upward
or downward as delayed reports are
received, or if persons injured die
later as a result of the injuries.
The official state figure is slightly
lower than that reported by one wire
service, since the state figure in­
cludes only those deaths occurring on
public streets and highways.
Officials said the death toll in­
cluded 158 people who were thrown
from their vehicles at the time of
impact. These people, they said,
might have been saved had they
been wearing seat belts.
