THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North CaroHna
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1958
Welfare Workers
From County At
Annual Meeting
Six staff members of the Moore
County Board of Public Welfare
attended the 39th annual Public
Welfare Institute held in Raleigh
last week, according to Mrs. Wai
ter B. Cole, superintendent.
Going with Mrs. Cole to the
meeting, which had as its theme
“New Emphasis in Public Wel
fare,” were Miss Annie Jones of
Cameron; Mrs. C. A. McCallum
of Carthage; Mrs. J. H. McCas-
kill of West End; Miss Alma
Chalker of Southern Pines; and
Mrs. Grace Bunting of Carthage.
The public welfare superinten
dents challenged the public, in
cluding critics of public aid for
children born out of wedlock, to
help them bring about changes
in the law upon which the pro-
grarn is based. _
In one important piece of ac
tion, the superintendents gave
approval to a report designed to
acquaint the'public with the facts
concerning aid to dependent chil
dren, a report which calls for
‘•'greater public understanding of
public aid for needy children;”
The report said that “welfare
officials have no choice but to ap
prove ADC (Aid to Dependant
Children) grants if the applicants
meet requirements of the law. It
is not an optional decision. The
I grants must be approved if the
child is in need and otherwise
■ eligible.
In answer to criticism that
'public assistance funds are some-
I times spent unwisely by mothers
I of children born out of wedlock,
the report pointed out that wel
fare officials are expressly pro
hibited by Federal policy from
instructing recipients of grants as
to how the public funds they re
ceive should be spent.
Only about seven and one-tialf
per cent of the children born out
wedlock in North Carolina are
receiving grants under the ADC
program, Mrs. Cole said. She said
the small percentage reflects the
fact that the illegitiimacy prob
lem is not the exclusive problem
of social workers, but is also a
public one “and the public must 619 children receive ADC funds,
help solve it.” |76 of whom were born out of
She said that in Moore County, wedlock.
