. Board ot Public Welfare
Today’s case history from the
files of North Carolina’s county'
departments of public welfare
is another example of how the
aid to dependent children pro
gram helps famiiies become in
dependent. Aid to dependent
children is a money payment'
for needy dependent children
who have been deprived of pa-|
rental care and support because,
of the death, physical or mental
incapacity or continued absence \
from the home of one or both \
parents, whether natural, step orj
adoptive.
When Doris and her husband;
separated five years ago, she
was left with three small chi!-;
dren to support. The only,
work she could get was domes- 1
tic labor and her earnings were
not sufficient to provide for her)
family. She was eligible to re
ceive an aid to dependent chil
dren payment from the public
welfare office. Doris continued
working as a domestic, but all
the while she was turning over!
tn her mind the idea of possi
bly attending college. She had
completed her high school edu
cation before marriage.
She discussed the idea of go
ing 'to college with her cac e
worker from the county depai t
ment of public welfare and re
ceived much encouragement.
The caseworker was instrumen
tal in securing a scholarship for
Doris at the junior college in
the city where she was living.
Also the caseworker’s own so
rority helped Doris by providing
some money to help her when
new financial difficulties arose.
Doris was able to attend cl" • -
es _at night and continue her
work as a domestic during the
day. She successfully completeJ
two years of college.
Then she had to make a sec
ond major decision. Should she
—or could she —continue h r
college work and obtain a de
gree?
There was no four-year col- ’
lege in the city. Continuing her
education would mean that she
would not only have to main
tain her expenses in anotiier
towp, but she would have to
leave her children. This latter
problem was solved when her
ister-in-law offered to care for
the children so that Doris could
graduate and receive the di
ploma that would mean so much
to her in the future.
The caseworker entered the
picture again and helped Doris
obtain a work scholarship. Site
was also able to get her a place
to stay in the home of a faculty
member. A year passed and
Doris’ scholastic record was so
good that the scholarship was <
extended to her senior year. |
Doris was able to get rides '
with friends on most week-ends i
and was able to visit her chil- !
dren often. She is very grate-j
ful for the wonderful sister-in- 1
law who made it possible for s
her to attend college. 1
Doris is thirty-two years old.

Teen-Agers Add Lively Lift
To New March of Dimes Drive
Slave auctions in this
Civil War Centennial Year?
It ean—and does—happen
here, with the flower of
American youth on the
block.
But in this century, there’s a
difference. Now it’s all in a
good cause. Members of the
New March of Dimes Teen Age
Program (TAP) auction their
services to the highest bidder
among local merchants. The
money goes to support The Na
tional Foundation - March of
Dimes attack on birth defects,
arthritis and polio.
It's all part of TAP members’
lively approach to volunteer
community service. They also
sponsor walkathons (shades of
the Thirties!) in which teams
from rival schools move toward
the finish line as dimes are con
tributed. They dance for dimes
at casual sock hops and formal
balls, man concessions at school
sports events, and hold com
munity car washes.
Through such ingenious fun
for-funds projects, TAPs raised
nearly three-quarters of a mil
lion dollars during the 1961
March of Dimes.
For the 1962 New March of
Dimes in January, tens of thou
sands of the youthful volun
teers are literally “on TAP.”
In more than 75 per cent of
The National Foundation’s 3,100
local county chapters, active
TAP committees are deter-,
mined to hit new highs in fun
as well as funds.
Adult advisors who work
with TAPs point out that un
derlying the outward frivolity
of the teenagers’ projects is a
deep awareness of the need for
increased research and progress
in the fight against crippling
birth defects, arthritis and
polio. During the year, many
youngsters assist in local pa
tient services by reading to dis
abled children, writing letters
for severely crippled arthritics
or working as hospital aides.
A prime year-round respon
sibility of TAP members is dis
tribution of information about
National Foundation Health
Scholarships to students in
high schools and colleges. Each
year, more than 500 four-year
scholarships with a full value
of $2,000 apiece are offered for
study in medicine, nursing,
physical therapy, occupational
therapy and medical social
work. TAP members know the
desperate need to reduce the
shortage of manpower in the
health professions by encour
ynd this Fall when she draws
her first pay check as a pri
mary teacher in the public
school system of North Caro
lina, she will be dropped from
aid to dependent children. She
has been receiving an aid to de
pendent children grant for her
children for five years. At last,
she has achieved her goal of be
ing self-supporting and of being
in a position to give her. chil
dren some of the advantages
she wants for them.

“Teenagers who are looking
for a sense of satisfaction along

missing a bet if they don’t
check TAP activities in their
local March of Dimes chap

it gives us an opportunity to
