WELFARE ANSWERS
FOR THE PEOPLE
By
BERNADETTE W. HOYIE
Stote Welfare Public
Information Officer

(This is the eight of a series ex-
planning public welfare in North
Carolina)
How can I adopt a baby is an i'm
portant question. Visit your county
department of public welfare and
the complete procedure will be ex-
planned to you.
II know a mother who wants
someone to adopt her baby. can't l
get the baby from her" This is the
most dangerous method of adop ing
a baby. You know the mother; she
knows you. The mother may not re-
main out of the picture after the
baby is adopted. You may not
know about the child's background
and whether it is legally free or
available for adoption. Perhaps the
legal father has not given his con-
sent. Many hazards are involved in
this type of adoption which is call
ed "direct placement"
The most desirable way to adopt
a baby is to make an application
through your county department of
public welfare or private licensed
child-placing agency. There are
four of this latter type of agency in
North Carolina: the Children's
Home Society in Greensboro, the
Bureau of Catholic Charities in
Charlotte, the Family and Child
Service Agencies in Charlotte and
Winston-Salem.
In the next steps the agency
gathers background information on
any child being released for adop-
ton. 1t also studies the adop i've
applicants home. The data are
gathered by caseworkers in the
county department of public well
fare and private licensed child-plac-
ing agencies. These data determine
the needs of the child and the adop-
tive parents in relation to each
other and are the bases for the re-
port to the court of adoption when
the legal proceeding is processed.
They include family backgrounds.

and adaptive parents, health, school
and employment records, the adop-

Grace H. Whiteman of Edenton,

maintaining the household duties

their time properly, the girls find
that they can devote themselves

COLLEGE TESTS OFFERED
BY SELECTIVE SERVICE
College Students Across Nation Have
Opportunity April 27th at
500 Colleges

The annual Selective Service Col
lege Qualification Test will be Of
fered to college students April q
at approximately 300 colleges
throughout the Nation.
This is the only test that will be
given for the 1960-61 school year.
There will be no special test given
for students who are unable to take
the test on April 27, 1861.
Application materials for the
test are now available at the near
est local board office. Students are
urged to make application early.
The application must be post mark
ed not later than midnight, April
6. Full Institutional materials are
issued with the applications.
The score made on the test is a
help to local boards in considering
students for deferment from induc-
tion for study as undergraduate or
graduate students.
w. G. Credle, Chairman, Local
Board No. 40, Hyde County, an
nounced that the test in North
Carolina will be conducted at the
following schools, among others,
University of North Carolina, Dav-
idson College, Duke University,
North Carolina College of Durham,
Agricultural and Technical College
of North Carolina, Guilford Col
lege, Lenoir- Rhyme College, North
Carolina State College, Shaw Uni
versity, Atlantic Christian College,
Wake Forest College.
He urged students to take the
test.
"The test is for the Students
benefit as we'll as for the Nations
good" Mr.. Credle said. "a local
board should have full information
about a student in order to classify
him, including his class standing
and score on this test. A high test
score may compensate for a low
class standing and high class
standing may compensate for low
test score.
"Some students do not take the
test because a student deferment
extends a registrant's liability"
w. G. Credle said. "Other defer
ments also extend liability to age
35," he added, "Such as those for
members of the ROTC, for exam
pie. And no registrant can remain
out of service beyond about age %
without exemption, or a deferment
which extends liability.
"The purpose of student defer
ments is to give promising students
an opportunity to continue to pre-
pare themselves for careers in sup
port of the national interest"
Scientific and professional en-
gineering organizations are urging
students preparing for careers in
those fields to take the test, w. G.
Credle, pointed out. These organi-

''This past Christmas l received
cards and notes from more than
half of these former students. The
majority of the girls are enthusias-
tic, and it has been a gratifying
experience to be closely associated
with them"
Meal planning, shopping, budget
ing, cooking, cleaning, entertain
ing-all the varied activities of the
home-keep the students busy and
provide practical experience under
expert direction.
The Home Management House is
divided into two sections the
house and the apartment-which
can adequately accommodate five
girls in each section. After six
weeks of residence, the house and
the apartment families rotate. The
two families work on a different
scale. In the house side more Ella
borate social events take place,
while in the apartment entertaining
and planning are done on a smaller
scale.
House Section
Greeted at the entrance of the
house side of the Home Manage
ment House by vivacious Rachel
Parker of Kinston, the hostess,
guests visiting the home this quar-
ter are invited into the stately
furnished living room. To the right
of the living room, a formal set
ting of mahogany furniture makes
for an attractive dining room.
Experiencing the dignity and
fellowship of serving dinner to the
family each night in the dining
room is rewarding," asserted Miss
Parker. "We also enjoy the prac-
tice of serving guests at buffet
luncheons, teas, receptions, and
other social affairs"
An excursion to the breakfast

meals are served, and the modern
