Locklear's A Funny Thing Happened on My Way to the Welfare Depart ment, a funny thing did happen to the I author on his way to the Baltipiore De I partment of Welfare. In fact, there were I quite a few funny things that happened during his thirty years there as a social caseworker. Getting welfare in this country is all I part of the human drama for some I people. It is also part of the human I tragedy and even part of the human I comedy. In this book, the author shows us the lighter side of the experience, in cluding quips from clients who need to I rebound and who need a sense of humor I to survive. Straitened circumstances don't always put one's sense of humor in a straitjacket. And then, of course, there are the welfare cheats, surprisingly on both sides of the interviewing desk. One caseworker, arrested for diverting funds into her own bank account, explained that her husband had threatened to leave her if she didn't. She was afraid of losing him, since "good men are hard to find." A client's startled boyfriend, who was hiding under her bed, tried to smoothe the matter over by telling the investigator, "I always sleep here." Here is a book of humorous anec dotes, a personal memoir that illumi nates life in an urban welfare depart ment office. It is filled with the colorful humor and flavor of everyday life I among the poor. Herbert H. Locklear, a sharecropper's son, was bom in 1932 in rural Robeson County, North Carolina. He is a Native American of the Lumbee tribe, founder B and first administrator of the American^ Indian Center in Baltimore, Maryland, and a prime mover toward civil and political reform in Baltimore's Indian community. He is also the founder of a movement to assure better government in Robeson County. Mr. Locklear serves the South Broadway Baptist Church as the chair man of tire board of trustees and is a teacher there as well. He currently serves on many boards and committees which focus on bringing remedial services to the poor and dispos sessed. Mr. Locklear and his wife, Christ ine, reside in Baltimore. They have five children, Ramona Cil, Kirby Raye, Anna Marie, Greer, and Lisa. They also have ^ ten grandchildren.
