Holmes County herald., 1961-03-16

Several weeks ago the Holmes County
Herald stated edlroIlalIy LIS approval OF
the proposed new county Welfare build
ing. Since that time, considerable action
has been taken on the matter. Architects
have submitted preliminary reports and
an effort has been underway TO find a
suitable location.
As was the case at the time we COM
mented upon the matter, the Herald still
believes that the construction of the
planned quarters is a wise move. We
think facts released from the department
covering the activities during February
bear this point out.
The statistics show that $o3,311 in
payments was made to the aged, the
blind, dependent children, and the per-
manently and totally disabled. OF this
amount, $56,547 went to old people,
while dependent children received
S21,641.
Particularly significant was the sum-
mary of the cases which were ~proceSSed
by members of the department. Of the
129 reviewed in various categories, only
40 were approved and a whopping 81
were rejected,

Church activities occupy an
important part in this club
Woman'S life. She is a men,
Der of the Pickens Methodist

Der of years (resigning in
1862 as Superintendent of the

EDITORIAL COMMENT
WELFARE STATISTICS
REVEAL |MPORTANC E

Also, of interest, was the fact that 500
contacts were made in person at the
Welfare Office during February, 1888
purpoSeful interviews were made in per-
son, and determinations totalled 375.
Services cases, including Child Welfare
Services, Rehabilitation of the blind, and
vocational rehabilitation amounted TO
1913.
Sometimes statistics and figures are
boring. We think that the above-men-
toned ones are anything but that. They
are important for several reasons. On the
one hand they indicate just how great an
impact payments for the department
have on our economy each month";.
At the same time, they tend to dis
credit the assumption by many, that any
one can get on welfare anytime.
Progress on planning to secure the
new building has come a long way in the
past several months. 1t is still not a GER
tainty that the new building will become
a reality. In the final analysis, the de-
cision will be up to the people of the
county. We hope that they will see fit
to approve this progressive measure
which can mean much to the county.
