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.

State's Youth
Are Healthier
For This War
Special to The Daily Tar Heel
RALEIGH, Oct. 7 Statistics in
dicate North Carolina's draft
age youths are healthier than the
draftees of World War II.
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.

is no greater disservice the Re

America in its world role than to
suggest that our economic
strength here at home is a war

governor. Last night in Detroit
