(Questions about public welfare which are of general interest can be sent to the 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 ter next year. What if I get sick 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. Your county public welfare de­ partment can give you further in­ formation.

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. Many of the world’s best golf scores are made with a pencil.
