Hoyle Public Information Officer North Carolina State Board of Public Welfare (This is ithe 4th of a series ex plaining public welfare in North Carolina). The files of ithe one hundred county departments of public welfare in North Carolina are filled with case histories of the aid to dependent children prog rams which show ithe many ways that this program has helped strengthen family life and make families independent. Today’s case histories show one common denominator in the families of aid to dependent chil dren — 'that they had made a real effort to help themselves. One such family had four children. The father was dead and the mother had tried in ev ery way to maintain a satisfac tory home for her children. For a period of time she actually lost money by working outside the home, due to her low wages as a domestic worker and the cost of transportation to and from her job. An aid to dependent chil dren grant was obtained for the family. All the children were kept in school and Sarah, the Rights Reserved To Limit Quantities SMALL, LEAN PORK Spare Tasty, Mild Mellow Cheese 39 < TASTY HAM Center Slices * 89* BONELESS HAM Economy Slices * 69/ 5-Lb Average LB.

She had expressed a definite desire to be come a nurse. The summer be fore her senior year in high school she obtained a job and was able to earn some money for her clothing and incidental school expenses. Before gradu ation she was aided in securing scholarship help and the whole family is excited over the fact that Sarah will be able to con tinue her schooling and become a nuirse. In another case, a father had deserted his wife and family of three children. The family was approved for an aid to depen dent children grant. The mother worked as a domestic and also tried to assume a worthwhile role in community life by teach ing a Sunday School class. Re becca, the oddest child, was salu tatorian of her high school class. She wants to become a teacher and the senior advisor in her school recommended her for a scholarship. Through the summer months the girl worked in an ef fort to pay her own expenses and provide some of her clothing for school. With the help of the pub lic welfare department, she ob tained a $300 college scholarship and the agency will assist her in getting the necessary clothing whch she could not furnish. Susan was an only child. She was born out of wedlock. Her mother, too, worked as a domes tic and a study of the home situ ation showed that the mother al ways kept an adequate home. At times she obtained work sewing for many people, but now is phy sically handicapped. An aid to dependent children budget has included expenses for Susan. Su san was an excellent student and always talked of “going on to school” in order to become a tea cher, an ambition shared by her mother. At the time of her grad uation from high school, Susan was awarded four honor medals. Her high school principal gave her an excellent recommendation and she was referred for assist ance in obtaining a scholarship. In another case, the father of five children in a family died in 1952. The mother has made a definite effort to become self supporting and to keep a com fortable home for the children. She has worked in the fields as a farm hand, and at the same time kept a good garden and tried to raise poultry. The oldest child, Tom, is described as a “top notch” student in the 11th grade. He participated in many extra curricular activities, has an es pecial interest in the agricultural program, and has taken a shop coulnse. He has made some attrac tive pieces of furniture for the home which the family finds use ful and all are very proud of them. The younger children at tend school regularly and make good grades. Recently Tom deci ded to work a year to save mon ey for returning to school the fol lowing term. Aid to dependent children is a money payment for needy de pendent children who have been deprived of parental care and support because of the death, physical or mental incapacity or continued absence from the home of one or both parents, whether natural, step or adoptive.
