AT MOTHERS DAY
Honor Geauga's S
Foster Mothers

A child dirty, no decent
clothes, crying arrives at
your doorstep. You are to
take care of him for two
days, or maybe two years.
That describes, in a nut
shell, the career story of the
81 foster mothers presently
working through the Geauga
County Welfare Department.
They were the guests o +
honor at q foster mothers tea
held April 20 at The Manor
House, Punderson State Park
The tea, in the planning state
for several months. coinci-
dentally fell within two weeks
of Mothers Day, according
to wellington H. Chapman,
director of Geauga welfare.
1t was Chapman who de-
scribed the career of a fos-
ter mother:
1.-THE children, who are us
ually emotionally disturbed,
generally don't want to leave
the caseworkers when they
are placed in a foster home.
"But then, a few days later,
they become upset when they
see the caseworker coming
back" " Chapman said. "The
youngsters are fearful they
will be taken away.
I'VE can't pry them loose
once they get three square
meals a day and a little af-
fection," he said.
About "A children will be
in Geauga County foster :
homes on Mothers Day Sun
day. Most of the foster moth
ers have children of their
own; some are grown chill
dren and have left home,
while other foster mothers
still have some of their own
youngsters too.
Chapman cited the case of
Mrs. Arlin T'rask. 446 North
Hambden ST., Chardon, who
has taken care of a three :
year old girl from infancy.
The little girl has a delicate
heart condition and has re-
quired constant special care.
In addition to her foster
child, Mrs. T'rask has child
rem Of her own, including a
baby. ct don't know of a
single case in which f o 5 ter
children are not treated e.
qually with all others in the
family" Chapman said.
First prerequisite for a fos-
ter mother is a loving, under
standing person. The welfare
direction said such physical
requirements as financial
worth and the elegance of the
home are definitely secon-
Diary.
Under the arrangements
now operating in G eaug a
County, the welfare depart
ment can legally place up to
five children in a single home
although very few homes ac-
comodate this large a num-
ber at one time. All attempts
are made to keep brothers
and sisters together.
Chapman said most young
sters who become foster chill

In many cases the parents

1886. Although there has been a substantial increase in
revenues collected from this source, such increase has
been attributable to CD improved assessment procedures,
~ q steadily improving economy and t3) extensive new
construction. Throughout local governments in the Unit
ed States, dependence is placed on real property taxes as
the stable source OF revenue not subject to fluctuations as
are income taxes and excise taxes Rates IN the United
States are generally much higher than the rate III the Vir-.
gin Islands. Ia many communities, where the tax is used
for financing school districts, the rate is adjusted to meet
the need for funds for schools.
Our proposal is to increase our rates to two per cent
10 three one-quarter per cent annual stages, each stage to-
yield approximately $4,000 in additional taxes of a total
of $240,000 by 1861.
The actual yield naturally will be greater as the pre-
sent program Of adjusting assessments more realistically
TO actual value is pursued. BY spreading the increased
over a three-year period, the revised assessment pro
gram could be continued without creating any undue
hardship on property owners.
It is we'll established that we have not been able to
increase our public education budget sufficiently to meet
the growing needs Of our school system. For the fiscal
year 1860 the school authorities, supported BY the Teach

there is no evidence to refute

In their space arsenal.
This 500,000-pound thrust

.'The achievements Of the

DR.. Singer said he believed
the Russians are about at an
