QUESTION: What is the “waiting
week” as specified in the Unemploy­
ment Insurance law in Oregon?
ANSWER: When the claimant first
reports to the Employment office to
file his claim for unemployment in­
surance benefits, he files his “initial’’
claim or application. On the second
report he files for the first full week
of unemployment benefits, which is
the week in which the “initial” appli­
cation was filed. That week is known
as the “waiting week” and the claim­
ant is not paid unemployment insur­
ance benefits for that week. Only one
waiting week is required during the
claimant’s benefit year.
QUESTION: How has unemploy­
ment been in Oregon so far this year?
ANSWER: Actually, the unemploy­
ed have been fewer in Oregon this
year than for a number of years.
Construction, good crops in most ag­
ricultural products, expanded and
newly opened plants in the wood pro­
ducts industry have all added to the
good economy. In August the number
of Oregonians working was the lar­
gest e v e r recorded-778,800, more
than 8,300 above the previous record
in August 1963. At the same time the
seasonally adjusted rate of total un­
employment dipped from July’s 5.0
percent. The rate of insured unem­
ployment in Oregon was at its low­
est level for the first week of Octo­
ber for the past ten years at 1.9 per-

U.S. Infant Death Rate Too High,
March of Dimes Physician Says
By VIRGINIA APGAR, M.D.
Director, Dici,ion of Congenital Malformation», The National Foundation-March of Dune»

States? That every year we lose about 105,000 babies aged one year or less.
That this tragic and discreditable situation exists despite the fact we have the

INFANT MORTALITY RATES
THE PUBLIC
WELFARE ?
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 it true a lot of fam ilies can get
more on welfare than by working.
No. Any welfare recipient who
works even part time will have a
higher total income than one who
does not, because an allowance will
be made in his grant for various ex­
penses connected with his employ­
ment. In addition, no one is eligible
for assistance who is able to work
and refuses employment without good
cause. Many recipients who cannot
find work are assigned to local gov­
ernment work projects where they
"work out” their assistance grant.
As with private employment, they be­
come ineligible if they refuse this
work without good cause.
I will need a series of medical
treatments. Can medical aid for the
aged pay m y doctor bill?
Medical Assistance for the Aged
pays for physicians’ services only
when these are connected with hos­
pital care. If you are eligible for Me­
dical Assistance for the Aged, you
can receive up to fourteen day’s hos­
pital care a year including physi­
cian’s visits while you are in the hos­
pital, surgery up to $500 and labora­
tory and x-ray fees up to $100. If you
are released from the hospital to a
nursing borne without using the en­
tire fourteen days’ hospital care, you
can substitute two days of convales
cent care for each day of hospital
care not used.
to offer to refer you to whatever
family planning facility seems appro­
priate for you. You are not required
to accept such referral, even to a
family planning facility under the
auspices of your own church, but
the new policy will make it possible
for you to find out what facilities are
available in case you should want
this information.
Can welfare recipients fill the
available farm jobs next year when
Mexican workers won’t be coming
in to do this work?
Unemployed assistance recipients
who are able to work are always re­
ferred to any available employment,
including farm work. However, many
assistance recipients are aged or dis­
abled and are not able to do any
heavy physical work.
My neighbor doesn’t speak English.
Is there an interpreter in the office
who can help her when she goes to
apply for assistance?
It is not possible for public welfare
to have interpreters available in
each office or all languages. It would
be best for your neighbor to ask a
relative or a friend who speaks her
language to accompany her.
My uncle has $5,000 in the bank
but no income except a sm all social
security check. Can he get money
from welfare so he won’t have to use
up his bank account?
Only $250 in cash may be retained
by an Old Age Assistance or Aid to
the Disabled recipient. A couple may
retain $500 in cash, blind persons
may retain $500 each. Your uncle
would not be eligible for assistance
with his living expenses until he had
used up his savings down to these
levels.
I read that Congress passed a food
stamp law. Will this take the place
of abundant foods?
Retarded persons who are unable
to support themselves may be eligible
for Aid to the Disabled. However, the
question of whether your cousin
should still expect support from his
parents would depend on the amount
of their income. If it is above the
level specified in the Relative Re­
sponsibility Act, they would be re­
quired to contribute a specified
amount monthly. Any contribution
they might make on a voluntary ba­
sis would be encouraged.
Under t h e new law t h e Food
Stamp program is operating on a per­
manent basis rather than a pilot ba­
sis. As a result of State Public Wel­
fare Commission action in September
1964. the Food Stamp program has
been made permanent for Multnomah
County where it has been operating
on an experimental basis for some
time. Other counties may establisn
Food Stamp programs instead of dis­
tributing abundant foods if they wish
to do so and if there are sufficient
funds available u n d e r the Food
Stamp Act Appropriation. As of Sep­
tember 30. the deadline for adding
new counties to the Food Stamp pro­
gram for the coming year, no coun­
ties except Multnomah had asked for
Food Stamp programs.
I am Catholic. Could public wel­
fare’s new birth control policy make
me ineligible for my aid to dependent
children check?
What good is the abundant fooo
program to people who can only eat
certain foods?
My cousin is retarded and his par­
ents are getting old. Who will sup­
port him if they retire?
No. Family planning methods ex­
ist which are compatible with all ma­
jor religious and value systems. The
new policy directs your caseworker
If you are eligible to receive abun­
dant foods you can ask for just those

Tax Return
Aid Offered
A. G. Erickson, district director of
the Internal Revenue Service for Ore­
gon, announced today the period for
filing 1964 Federal income tax re­
turns will extend from January 4
through April 15. To provide assis­
tance to tax payers, the Portland
office, 827 N. E. Oregon Street (Tele­
phone 234-8211), will provide informa­
tion service Monday through Friday,
from January 4 through April 15 dur­
ing regular office hours, 8:00 a.m. to
4:45 p.m., except Monday, February
22.
Director Erickson stated, “Tax­
payers coming in for help will be
asked to fill out as much of their re­
turns as possible, and will be given
any additional information needed
to complete them.” He suggested tax­
payers telephone for information be­
fore going to an Internal Revenue
Service office, since essentially the
same service is available by tele­
phone as at the offices.
items and most people find that they
can make use of at least a few of
them.
Does public welfare support fluori­
dation?
Although any form of preventive
medicine may in the long run cut
down o n public welfare medical
costs, the welfare department does
not establish explicit policies in these
areas. Fluoridation, like other pre­
ventive medicine, is primarily a pub­
lic health matter.
Could the welfare department pay
a housekeeper so I won’t have to go
to a nursing home?
If you are in need of care and are
eligible for public assistance, public
welfare can provide for housekeeping
services if the total tost for the house
keeper and your own needs is not
greater than the cost of the care you
would require in a nursing home.
I read in the paper that public
welfare had two different budgets
and one was quite a bit higher than
the other. Why is this?
Like other state agencies, public
welfare formulates one budget based
on the cost of continuing its program
unchanged, taking into consideration
such variables as population growth,
and caseload trends. The larger bud­
get shows the added cost of new or
expanded programs recommended by-
public welfare staff. The final budget
that goes to the legislature represents
the Governor's recommendation, and
contains parts of both proposals.
