Dr. Ellen Winson, Commissioner The deep concern of a 15-year-old high school girl for her neigh bor is one of the most heart-wanning cases that has come to the at tention of public welfare in many months. ' -.Tim naiirhbor. a mother with rhildran. was in great dis tress. Her aid to dependent chil dren grant was going to be cut off because she was spending un wisely the money she was receiv ing and her children were not re ceiving the benefit of the grant.

The teacher made the necessary contacts with the county depart ment of public welfare, and it was arranged for the teacher to act as guardian for the family and the high school girl, under her direc tion, would serve as business man ager. The girl did much research on developing a workable financial plan for the family. "This was not a simple job," she saia, ana I had to try out many different arrangements before I found the best way to make the money bal ance, for I found that the planned expenses outweighed the income."

There was little or no equipment for ma my household jobs. Bathroom and water facilities were out of order, and many things were needed for the imnrovement of the home. The girl had many conferences with her teacher, found informs tion on the problems, and planned a program for getting the imor mation to the mother. Within ten days the water was turned on, bathroom facilities iwere fixdd, wash tubs, a scrub lmai-d. man. broom.
