Welfare Board Head
Asks s More Foster
Homes for Children

A plea for six more emergency
foster homes was made yesterday
by Mrs. Helen j. Cooper, supervisor
of the home finding department Of
the Board of Public Welfare.
Mrs. Cooper explained there are
only two colored homes at present
and that appropriations are avail
able, as of July /, for eight homes,
four white and four colored.
While earlier this year the board
was searching for persons to care
for babies-many of whom still were
in hospitals-Mrs. Cooper said the
homes now sought are mostly for
children of families who could nc
longer take care of them.
The number Of children needing
such placement runs as many as
Is day, Mrs. Cooper said. The
two homes at present accommodate
eight children each and the homes
desired should have capacity for
from five to eight children.
Typical Cases Listed.
"On one day the department was
asked to place two families, one OF
nine children, ranging in age from
2 to IA, evicted from their homes
and one of seven, from 2 to Il
years, whom the mother had de-
serted" Mrs. Cooper said. AN
other day requests were received
for five separate children from
months to 3 wears old"
Another, she said, involved the
case of a father killed on a defense
job and mother being suddenly
taken Ill. Relatives in Indiana took
two of the family's four children,
but an elderly grandfather found
himself unable to care for the others.
This Is only one of the many
stories coming daily to the Special
Services division of the Board of
Public Welfare" Mrs. Cooper said.
That is the branch of the board
that provides temporary foster care
for District children whose own
families can not at the moment
provide adequate and suitable
homes. Social workers help families
explore all possible resources to care
that might be available to the fam
lily, including relatives and friends.
Care Must Be Provided
when these fail, care must be
provided for these children who,
through no fault of their own, have
no home until their mother is well
again"
For the privately owned homes
used in these cases, Mrs. Cooper
said a subsidy of $35 month is
paid regardless of the number Of
children, plus the regular rates Of
the board. These rates are $50 for
infants up to years; $25 for chill
dren to IL years! $2750 for chill
dren IL to IA years and $50 for those
IA to 16. Medical care, clothing
and social services to children are
provided by the board.
Those interested in offering their
homes and discussing terms, should
call Republic 1855, Mrs. Cooper said.

sis Is not confined to veterans and

in federal housing laws.
Kelly said he fully endorsed

up to 95 per cent oil appraised value

Heaviest period in the history Of

mated that the total will reach $50

wired Senators Homer Ferguson
and Arthur Vandenberg. II am adj
vised that a home which costs only
S. 900 in 1910 now costs between

Because costs are greater in

would defeat the entire purpose OF

supplementary report on building
prospects from the executive COM

Rubber Union Sees Danger
In Losing Security Clauses
Ey the Associated press

by the Associated Press.
The CIO Rubber Workers Union
told the War Labor Board yesterday
removal of union security clauses at
the Firestone Tire g. Rubber Co.,
Akron, Ohio, would have IAN ex-
tremely unstabilizing effect.
G. L. Patterson, attorney for the
union, deplored last July's two-week
strike, but he said maintenance Of
membership and union dues check
off, which the board had allowed
during the war, had contributed TO
an amazing production record
throughout the war.
Il respectfully submit to you" Mr..
Patterson said to the board, that
removal of union security at this
time would have a bad effect on the
transition to peacetime economy"
Mr.. Patterson said reduction OF
hours to 40 week at the Firestone
plant would result in rehiring 5000
of the 4,500 workers who have been
made idle by reconversion. Restora-
ton of the 36-hour week which had
prevailed before the war would give
back jobs to the 1900 other unem-
ployed workers. said Mr.. Patterson.
