LETTER Box

Editor,
The Sentinel:
On one Monday morning in the
summer Of 1916, one of my good
tenants came and paid me $25 rent
for four rooms and bath, full base
ment, furnace, electric stove, so
forth, per month for bungalow.
The man gets $12 per day. In 1910
this same new bungalow then rent
ed for S25 per month. The renter
gort $3.50 per day.
On Tuesday, the next day, / had
as plasterer to put on a patch for
me about A or S fit. square. Took
less than two hours to do it (after
he came home from days work. !.
When he came in | asked him how
much do | owe you and he said SIP.
| said, why, that is what you get
per day, don't you? He said 1 get
$22 per day. l had my $25 still in
my pocket. | pulled it out and gave
him $12. had $13 left, for about
two hours and | had to furnish the
sand and plaster and hand it to
him or help him.
The carpenter that built this
bungalow in 1910 l paid him $3.50
per day and board. | hear he is
now getting around SIS per day
and that is the way with every
thing. Material is from two to
three times higher and unless one
has an income accordingly they
just can't keep up with rent cell
ing on. 1t wasn't so bad when the
war was on. We were supposed to
sacrifice in wartime. Now one can't
afford to have things repaired and
kept up in shape when they are
dependent on their rents for living
and so forth.
am retired farmer 60 years
old. Wife and | worked hard to
have an income in our later days
on par with other people, thought
sure rent ceiling would be lifted
last year 1947. Now it is some talk
of continuing it still longer. Don't
suppose my little talk will help
much, but it might help some to see
how unfair it is.
l have had renters that did not
seem to try to help themselves to
get another place. They were get
ting good wages and if they moved
they likely would have to pay more
elsewhere. 1910 rents are helping
people not to help themselves.
Largest wages ever known and
rents about the same. Nothing fair
about it at all.

Agencies Careful Checking Makes
U. S. Child Adoptions $3.50 Successful

Every year adoption agencies
find happy homes for some fifty
thousand American youngsters.
And as a result MANY child'""s
couples discover the joys and obi
CATIONS of parenthood. Adoption
procedures are generally the same
among licensed agencies in every
state, according to Genevieve
Forbes Herrick. Discussing in Red
book Magazine for January, the
typical steps taken by approved
agencies to protect both child and
foster-parents, she shows how SO
per cent of all applications end in
successful adoptions:
Prospective foster parents
write to an authorized agency and
receive an application, asking the
following information:
Residence: The couple must
live within the 50-mile zone estab-
lished by many agencies. Some
states require applicants to reside
in the same state, sometimes the
same county, as that in which the
agency is located.
Age: The acceptable age brack-
ct customarily fixes 40 as the top
age for the man; 35 for the woman.
This rule is aimed at giving chill
dren to parents who are still
young-minded, and, for the man,
wage-earning until the child
reaches majority.
Religion: In some states, the
religion of the applicants and of
the child (when known) must be
the same.
Education: Authorities are in
clined to believe that man and
woman of average education make
better adaptive parents than a
Ph.D. and his Phi Beta Kappa
wife.
Income: The middle level has
tested out best; $4,000 a year is
generally required Except in the
case of farm families where there
is a supplement to the cash in
GOMEZ. A life-insurance program
gives the applicant an advantage.
physical Description: 1t would
be unusual for an agency to place
a slight, dark-haired, olive skinned
little girl with tow-headed man
and his tall, blonde wife. The
practical reason for matching is
that it eases the public path for
all concerned. An emotional factor
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1949-02-24

is also involved. Adaptive parents
get get satisfaction in seeing some
thing of themselves in their adopt
ed children.
Business: Were the man a
stunt flyer or a lion-tamer, or,
possibly, if his business kept him
away from home for long periods,
the couples application might be
rejected. More universal are taboos
against applicants who have been
divorced; against widow or wild
over; above all, against an I'M
married man or woman.
"Other Children in the Home:
Agency officials agree on the value
OF the more-than-one-child home.
But, since they never have enough
babies to go around, they usually
give priority to the childless
couple.
Child Preferred: The couple
would be typical if they described
a golden-haired baby girl, less than
a month old. They add other things
they would like, but not demand.
CATER the application has been
sent off with the necessary letters
of recommendation, a considerable
amount of time usually elapses
because of the general shortage of
babies eligible for adoption and
because many agencies are under
stated and slowed up by INSULT
cient funds.
Finally the couple are called to
headquarters for the
Intake Interview: They are
asked some very personal ques-
tons: Are they happily married?
Do they both want the baby? Does
she want child a miniature re-
Election of herself? Are they seek
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1949-02-24

ing to replace a child who has
died?
"They are then told that four
months is good age for an adop-
ed baby because at that age doc
tors and psychiatrists can be sat-
istactorily sure of their findings
and predictions. At four months,
the natural mother, recovered
from the ordeal of childbirth, re-
established in life, can be expected
to make firm decision and stick
to it.
"Home Interview: An agency
representative visits the home. She
pays scant attention to the 'pretti-
ness of the place, and lot of at
tention to the baby's room = its
heat and ventilation; it's sunniness
and seclusion.

her he had sold his farm to come

Robert as saying Mr.. Wool
bridge wanted to look at the
outbuildings on the Brennan
farm and that Robert led the
older man to the barn.)
while he was looking around
downstairs I went up the steps to
the loft where I left the gun. .
He came up the steps and his
back was to me and when he was
halfway up the steps I had the
gun pointed at him and I
pulled the trigger and the load
Of buckshot struck him in the
back of the head"
According to the statement,
Robert later returned to the barn
and struck Mr.. Woodbridge on the
head with the butt end of his
shotgun because the Virginian
was hollering real loud"
