THE PUBLIC
WELFARE ?
(Questions about public welfare

Questions to answer in this column
Help with individual problems is
available at your county welfare
office.)
If a man works full time and
still cannot support his family, will
welfare help?
Aid to Dependent Children is
available only to children who are
in need because a parent is dead,
absent from home, unemployed, or
incapacitated. A father who is em
ployed full time and is not incapaci
tated would be eligible for assis
tance for welfare only if his earn
ings were less than the welfare
standard for general assistance. He
could supplement his earnings
with aboundant foods if they’re
available in the county in which
he lives and if his income is with
in the eligibility requirements for
this program.
My parents have nothing but
their home and their social se
curity. If I apply for assistance,
will they have to contribute to my
support.
Before your parents are asked
for a contribution, an investiga
tion will be made to determine
their ability to pay, including a
request for a statement of their
income. Your parents should com
plete the income statement form
and return it promptly. If Social
Security is their only income, it
is unlikely that they would be lia
ble for a contribution to your sup
port.
lam 65 and I understand Medi
care will pay my hospital bills af

in the meantime?
If your annual income is less
than $1750 or $2500 for you and
your spouse, and if your liquid
assets are no more than $1500 for
a single person or $2000 for a m ar
ried couple, you might qualify for
medical assistance to the aged.
This would provide 14 day’s hospi
tal care per year plus surgery and
physician’s care during hospitali
zation as well as laboratory and
x-ray services up to $100 per year.

Cane berry producers or potential
growers who will be interested in
obtaining planting stock in the
spring, should make arrangements
for needed plants now, suggests
Don Coin Walrod, county exten
sion agent.
Unlike other seed programs, cer
tified stock of the various cane
and trailing berries is not availa
ble, but the best stock obtainable
goes under the name of “Register
of Merit,” says Walrod. Under this
program, plantings of berries en
tered in this program are inspect
ed several times during a grow
ing season by various representa
tives of Oregon State University.
Only fields that are thrifty, true
to type, and free of disease and
insect damage are approved as a
source of planting stock for the
coming year.
Anyone who will have a need
for planting stock should contact
owners of “Register of Merit”
fields to be sure that sufficient
plants have been tipped to pro
vide the needed plants. If this is
not done, Walrod points out that
growers may find plant supplies
inadequate, or they may be forced
to plant inferior stock.
