Welfare Head Asks For Boarding Homes The need for boarding homes for children is increasing, the superintendent of the Orange County Welfare Depart ment said yesterday. Miss Annie Strowd said the state-wide program which assists in providing boarding homes for children is one of the most valuable programs admin istered by welfare agencies. She said she believed more homes would be offered for this purpose if the people knew the need and the plan which provides them. Boarding homes are licensed, Miss Strowd said, to take care of children who are in one of two groups. One group is made up of children who are being studied for adoption. The other group is composed of children' who are not living in their own home. The County Welfare Depart ment shares responsibility for the child with the foster parent and a staff member makes regular visits to the home. The state boarding home fund is made available to counties on a 50 per cent matching basis for individual children. In Orange County there are six boarding homes caring for 12 children. More are needed, Miss Strowd said. She asked those in terested to contact the office in Chapel Hill or Hillsboro.

The rejection rate is running lower for the Korean War than for World War II, though the physical standards remain prac tically the same. Forty-two and seven-tenths percent of North Carolinians called in the Korean draft failed as compared to 44.6 percent rejected in World War II. Col. Thomas Upton, North Carolina's Selective Service chief, said he knew no explanation for the healthier men but suggested the change might be statistical only. However, other statistics show North Carolina has risen in rank among the Southern states since 1945. From its position just above South Carolina, second from the bottom, North Carolina has risen to fourth from the bottom in the percentage of 4-F's. Press Club Given Advice By Russell "If you want a job on a big city newspaper, don't go to New York stay in the South or head Southwest." That was the advice of Jour nalism Professor Phillips Russell in a talk on "The Job Quest" be fore the Press Club Monday night. "Take Texas. If I were a young man and wanted to work on a big city paper I'd head for Texas right now," Russell said with a smile. "There are lots of big towns there, overflowing money and vulgarity and everything." He noted, however, that for many people small town news paper work can be equally as rewarding as big city work. "I know of one weekly news paper man in North Carolina who never makes less than $5,000 a year, and he works about four hours a week," Russell told the prospective journalists. He explained that the rewards come usually in the form of an easier pace of life, a family and a home, a good car, and time for such things as fishing and at tending the football games at Chapel Hill. Russell said that New York, New England and the Midwest have dried up as a source for jobs on big city newspapers. "When I graduated from Caro lina and went to work for a North Carolina daily paper mv first pay check was $20 for a months' work," Russell said. "I asked my boss for a raise and he agreed.
