The session was preliminary to a scheduled meeting between the Commissioners and the county** two representatives In the General Assembly, Representative John W. Umstead Jr: and Senator-<Elect Ralph H. Scott, which 1* set foe Monday January 1 here at the courthouse.- ~ r o ^ The members ‘ of the General Assembly win be asked to coop erate in the promotion of measur es designed to make, In the words of Commission Chairman Collier Cobb Jr., “the welfare program less popular.” Chairman G. A. Brown of the Welfare Board cited two major problems which face the Board administering the welfare pro gram: (1) the continuing increase in the Old Age Assistance list, and (2) how to make more parents fulfill their responsibilities in sup* porting the increasing hat of ille gitimate children which fall the county for support. In connection with GU Assistance, ha , _ * m, years of age record- In receive Old Age now, 39 have keen _._ the Welfare Board and are on the waiting list when funds become available and 29 otter . applica tions are still pending for investi gation and recommendation. In numbers, the actual recipi ents of Old Age Assistance have doubled in North Carolina in the past five. year®. A number of suggestions were chanced .•yrd disc rased §or U^ht enffig the weflfhre program and making it more difficult for bor derline cases to receive the wel fare money. Among them was a law to require all able children of aged parents to contribute Jo their support rather than just those in the home. This was first mentioned at the meeting By Wel fare Board Member Joe Howard and Henry Hogan, another board member, described it as about the only proposition advanced holding any hope for lowering the waiting and acting lists of old age assis ts nee recipients. To further strengthen this measure K was suggested that sworn statements 'of net worth end income be re [ qumkf <5f afrdfiiTdreri of aged (Jar- • ents making apol Stations for as sistance, and that Urns on proper ty b| applicants be allow**! to pre vent its transfer to children or | other relatives who avoid suprport 1 inr the dependants. 1 The Commissioners were asked to lend their support and to urge .support of the legislators for four proposed statutes strengthening by legal means the families' resppnsl j bilitles in the care of the aged I and the dependant children. These i included one to increase to 18 the j age limit to which parents are responsible for support of illegiti mate and abandoned children; on* requiring that provisions be in cluded in all divdrce orders for the support and care of children involved; another strengthening abandonment and non-support statutes and more clearly defining abandonment. In the general discussion, it was brought out that one family in Orange County in which the par ents had abandoned, their sin chil i dren had cost the taxpayers over $6 000 during the past 3H years i arid the case had been dragging ‘h-rough' * the courts for most of that time as efforts wore made to | re<fulre parental support. It was agreed that speedier and more stringent action -would be a big I help in suph cases. L A big increase in the amount of administrative work was "Cited by the welfare officials ard the commissioners Were ir^eed to pro vide additional funds-for admini strative workers to handle the in creasing work load. Orange County’s current wel fare budget totals $200J08, of which the county contributes $47, 438 and State and Federal funds make up the ramainder.
