For Hie People ] By Bernadette W. Hoyle Public Information (Kflrer North Carolina State Hoard of Public Welfare This week we will look a't a caso history from the public. welfare files of North Carolina. and see the way that skilled casework services were directed toward helping a teenage boy. The mother received an aid to dependent children grant, which is a money payment for needy dependent children who have been deprived of parental care and support because of the death, physical or mental in capacity or continued absence from the home of one or both parents, whether natural, step or adoptive. Mrs. Brown sought help from the county department of public welfare with both her physical' and financial problems. The husband, had deserted her and their 14-year-old son. Both mo ther and son lived in an apart ment with her aged mother, i whose only income was a small: social, security payment. Mrs., Brown had attempted to work, and earn a livelihood for her self and son, but due to a ma-i lignnncy she was not able to continue. Local doctors had ; recommended that she have therapy at either Duke Hospital or Memorial Hospital in Chapel «| Jlpwfc We see Faster fashions your way . . . the peak of G¥WWW spring perfection, going on parade now . . . then V' fy Vra!/ JgflL parading ahead to summer and travel.

Though not too serious the condition diminishes the child’s vision and, if not arrested in time, may lead to weak-sightedness and even eventual blindness. -The way to correct this is through exercises like the one she performs here. By covering the good eye she trains the lazy one to work properly. A lazy eye is only one of a host of menaces to good vision a child runs in growing up. Os the world’s 10 million blind people about 650,000 are chil dren. Yet fully two-thirds of this global burden of blindness need never have occurred. It codtd have been prevented. Nat urally, the best place to begin blindness prevention is with (children. •It was in recognition of the tragic and unnecessary waste that blindness inflicts on the world's human and economic health that the 109 member states of the World Health Or ganization* chose “Preserve Hill, but this was impossible without assistance. Mrs. Brown’s son had become disinterested in his school work and wanted to quit school. He had become involved in petty thievery and was brought into juvenile court, where he was placed in the custody of hjs mo ther under the supervision of the public welfare department. An aid to dependent children grant was approved by Mrs. Brown. Assistance with trans- j portation and treatment at Duke! were furnished by the county! department of public welfare! and civic groups. The husband’s j whereabouts were traced through the Social Security Os Sight—Prevent Blindness” as the theme for the celebration April 7 of the UN specialized a gency’s fourteenth anniversary. WHO Director - General Dr. M. G. Candau says: “With prop er treatment by drugs and surg ery, sight could be restored to millions who are now losing It; preventive measures can ensure ■that in the future the numbers of the blind will be a third or less of what they are today.” “It cannot be repeated too often that the cost of preven tive services is only a fraction of what could be saved by re ducing the burden which the blind inevitably represent for any country’* economy.” : I fice, and he was picked up by I local law officials. He was tried 1 j and convicted of bigamy and : | received a prison sentence. !* Mrs. Brown lived only a short r | while after the trial. The son i;i>ow was left, in the home with 5 j his grandmother. By encour agement from people in the ! j community, the public welfare | department and school officials, iJ he had continued in school, but , | after the death of his mother | a change was needed. The i j grandmother, who loved the boy (deeply, felt that she was not *! capable of coping with the prob ;• lems of a teenage boy. The l boy’s pastor was made aware of the situation and, with the! public welfare department, help ed in plans for the boy to enter a boys’ school in a Northern state. A local civic group se cured ample clothing for him and provided transportation. Unfortunately, the boy was un happy in his new environment and homesick for the South, his grandmother and friends. After several months the county department of public welfare arranged for him to re turn home. After counseling with the boy and the grand mother, the boy, who was now 17 years of age, expressed a de sire to enter some branch of the i armed services. He decided on 1 the Army and during his tenure of service will receive vocation al training which will be of great benefit to him in securing self-supporting work in civilian life. He has been quite suc cessful in hi.; Army career and ‘ has traveled extensively. In ' appearance, he is a handsome, erect youth. He corresponds with regularity with his grand mother and she says, “He is a grandson to be proud of.” He attributes the solution to many of his problems to the skilled casework services by the loun ty department of public welfare, who knew him from the age of 14 and took a personal interest in his welfare.
