per cent q year.
while general employment re-
mains high, employment is hard to
find for Handicapped and less ef-
ficient workers. No assistance is now
given to any fully employable per-
son. The aged, the blind and most
of the general public assistance
cases are too old, too i'll, too dis
abled or too much handicapped to
compete in the labor market.
THE most serious problem faced
bv those receiving assistance Is the
greatly increased cost OF food ana
clothing, and the difficulty IN nno-
ing shelter at any price"
The Child Welfare Division. which
provides care, supervision and guld-
ance for children received by the
Board of Public Welfare, asks ST.
o37 800 for fiscal 1850, an increase
of sl79,225 over this year. Mr..
Tramburg said the CWD faces the
need for more social workers ana
clothing, as we'll as numerous Within
grade salary increases and general
higher costs of food and materials
Few Will Board Children.
Illustrative of the higher costs
are the $4,000 increase over the
$4,000 asked for clothing purchases
in the last budget and the fact that
board and care costs increased from
s483 .440 this year to $575,OOo Tor
fiscal 1850,
increasingly crowded housing IN
Washington, numerous opportunities
for employment of women and Will
lingness of working parents to pay
private families more for day care
of children five days week than
the board can pay for full-tlme
care, have greatly reduced the num-
Der of homes willing to accept chill
dren for board. Mr.. Tramburg told
the Commissioners. Thus greater
effort and more time is required, ne
said, to secure foster homes.
Facilities for emergency care OF
children are particularly difficult to
find. A growing number OF unmar-
ried mothers is coming to the agency
for help. Adequate service to chill
dren in their own homes would
prevent complete breakdown In par
entail responsibility in many cases
the budget recommendation SAID
and would prevent a large number
of children from becoming public
charges as wards of the city.
The cost of medical and hospital
SUPPLIES has increased from So.OS0
to S12084 in the Child Welfare
Division.
Three of the eleven new employees
asked by Mr.. Tramburg are for the
Child Welfare Division Another
social worker is requested for duty
with The insane at St. Elizabeths.
Mr.. Tramburg said the three So
cisl workers are needed for adequate
protective service work in the chill
dren's own homes which, he said
was the only means by which the
division hopes to decrease the num-
bsr of dependent and neglected
children committed to the board.
Other items requested under the
agency services classification include
S57,769 for the interstate services
sl35, 200 for the penny milk ano
canning program and $4,000 for the
independent agencies tsuch as the
Florence Crittenton Home, ST. AIMS
Infant Asylum and others.

Stort Shoot For
Workmanship

Last Thursday evening the Junior
Rifle members turned out for a re-
cord number of sixty boys and
girls. Mr. Hilbird states they have
started shooting for the pro-marks
man certificates. For this certifl-
cate one must shoot ten different
targets with each scoring at least
twenty out of a possible fifty
These targets will then be sent in
to the National Rifle Association
for scoring, and issuing of pro-
craftsmanship certificates.
With such an increasing amount
of interest shown in Libby by the
boys and girls as well as the mem
bers of the Rifle and Pistol Club,
the present shooting gallery is
proving to be too small, so for the
benefit of all let's hope in the
future that a much larger gallery

he said, will not be as much as the
average person spends thought
lessly in one day, but will bring
many times the return in value,
adding that the local tax is a small
part of our cost of living.
Representative Rowe stated that
the school reorganization bill was
defeated last year in the legisla-
ture because it indicated an at
tempt to do too much at one time
in view of high costs and other
heavy state tax burdens; yet back
of it all was a keen feeling that
something should be done to i'm
prove the general school situation.
This question will be discussed
later by county and community
citizens committees sponsored by

that if a good bill is presented. it
may have a chance of getting
through next year. At present he
said, the burden is thrown back to
