Child Welfare Worker Tells
Rotarians OfHis Work Here
johnson Says Tax
Dollar Is Saved BY
Helping Children

Every child helped by a
child welfare worker be-
fore he gets into serious
trouble saves your tax dol
lar - and more important
it saves the child"
In making this statement
before the Rotary Club yes
terday, J a m e s Johnson,
child welfare worker with
the State Welfare Board,
continued by saying, "It
costs a heck of a lot of
money to send a child to
Mariana or Ocala."
"My job is to help children by
working with them in the home.
When a child is in trouble, we 20
to the home. We consult the par
entS, school authorities and min
listers and try to correct the situa-
ton"
1--WE accept cases from any re-
ferral source, and if we are I'm.
able to solve the problem in the
home, we may place the child
in one of the foster homes in the
county until such time as it can
be corrected"
"The foster home program is
just one of the phases of child
welfare work." johnson added.
Housekeeping Service
"For instance, suppose the moth
er of a family is tubercular or in
need of short-term disqualification
for mental illness, we can provide
housekeeping service to take care
of the children while the father
is at work"
This keeps the family together
in its own home and that is i'm
portant to the child. In time of
of emotional stress, a child becom-
es upset if he is moved from
place to place-even to a foster
home"
"We also care for our own and
other runaway children. No child
leaves its home unless there is a
reason. We try to correct the
reason and then return the child"
Children under IS can be return
ed anywhere in Florida. Any child
under 16 can be returned to any
state through other state welfare
services. Federal funds are used
to return out-of-state children.
"This service is important, be-
cause" johnson said, eff child is
hungry, sooner or later, he will
steal and come in conflict with
the law"
RvnaWays Helped

Care of handicapped children is
one of the phases of child welfare

KEY VESTS
TRAFFIC BOX SCORE

Another weekend gets under
way today.
Scores of motorists will take
the road for outings up the
keys.
1t is the time for safe driv-
ing.
And it is also the time to
check that automobile to make
sure that it is in safe running
condition. Brakes, tires and
lights should be in tip-top shape
to avoid accidents.
Remember, it may cost a few
dollars to make these minor re.
pairs - but consider the cost
of an accident.

Brown said his Office will seek
to have Cheeseman's stay reversed

District immigration Director
Ernest E. Salisbury quoted Pre-
movie as saying he was on his
way to Washington to give his
ideas to United States Air Force
officials. Mr.. Salisbury said he
called the designs more adj
vanced than anything the United
States now has available"
Premovic, who appeared yes
terday before a United States
commissioner in st. Adams, is
charged with Illegal entry and is
being held without bail in
Chittenden County Jail in Burl-
ingtop. Mr.. Salisbury said he
will be tried in Federal court in
about a week.
Mr.. Salisbury said Premovic
seems like a very intelligent fell
low" who apparently didn't
realize he simply could not enter
the United States like a native
Canadian"
1t was the second time he had
been stopped trying to enter the
United States. Mr.. Salisbury
said Premovic had been turned

Steel Output Shows
Increase Of 81 Pei.
In Last Three Months
BY III. A..oeio,.d Pres.

NEW YORK. Nov. l7.-Steel
production is continuing to rise
and Steel-making opartions are
scheduled this week at 80 per
cent of rated capacity, Iron Age,
the national Woodworking week.
ly, said today.
This rate, new high for the
year. is 2.5 points above last
weeks revised rate and marks
the 18th consecutive week the
industry's output has increased.
Iron Age reported that steel
production has risen more than
81 per cent within the past three
months.
While most steel producers did
expect an increase in business
they were not prepared for the
buying rush which has swamped
their clerical staffs, the publi-
cation added. It said one mill
is known to have turned down
substantial orders for February
delivery of cold-rolled sheets be-
cause it is reserving some space
for old customers who are slow
in ordering.
The large auto companies, de-
spite record production sched-
ules for the rest of this year, are
holding back on commitments
Tor 1855. Iron Age said. It said
that the rush of orders for first
quarter delivery comes from
small and medium sized firms
which are alarmed by the tight
ening market and want to make
sure their orders are on the
books.
