Stevenson said. "ThiS would be

Aid Agency
Call Issued
For Mons

Anybody want to be a substi-
tute mother?
The Jewish Social Service is
looking for some. It wants them
on tap for the time when a need
arises to place someone in home
where the mother is ill or absent.
Or, according to Social Service
Director Florence G.. Frank, the
situation may call for compan-
ion to an elderly person or a
per-and-maid to help
out when the head of a house
hold is bedridden
Members of the community who
feel capable of rendering such
service (and they'll be paid for
it) should register with the agen-
cy at 1910 E. Comeback Rd.,
CRestwood 4-5407.
Foster Homes, Too
Social Service also has a con-
tinuing need for foster homes,
said Mrs. Frank.
While there may not be any
immediate need for placement"
she explained, "the agency would
like to have the opportunity of
investigating and licensing sew
eral homes in order to have
available placements.
There have been, in the past
few years, and we anticipate
again, requests for placements Of
asthmatic children who come to
this community unaccompanied
by their parents, who for various
reasons cannot leave their home
community and take up residence
here with the ailing child. These
children often range in age from
six to early adolescence and Of
necessity need to be placed in
home where there is father and
mother"

Beard cashed about $400. 900
worth Of checks for him. just as
a favor and never charged him
for the service.
The. defense was arguing that
