Sam, last year’s Sheriff of the Year, was one who turned down awrong way street, so the story goes, and all efforts' to keep it quiet failed. thanks to our talkative trooper. | At that same meeting county sheriffs had only one choice for this year’s Sheriff of the Year. It was Woody Caton, sheriff of neighboring Elkhart county. Woody received national recognition for his round-the-clock work in organizing relief work during the Palm Sunday tornadoes in the Dunlap area. ■'

A total of six new cases were discussed at Tuesday's meeting of the county welfare board. The meeting was held in the court house at Warsaw. Included in the cases were one disabled, one medical assistance for aged and four aid to dependent children — relatrv'es cases. In the disabled case the countycommissioners were bearing the cost. It was turned over to the welfare board. An application has been filed to the mental hospital at Fort Wayne. The man is 30-years-old and has had his teeth abstracted. The board approved dentures I according to the dental schedule. In the dependent child cases the first one was for a 26-year-old rrian with children 4,2, and nine months, who was in a car accident. There is. no insurance and the man . will be unable to work for three months. He was accepted on the ; taros that he sign a stat client if any insurance is recovered he will repay, toe county. The second case is a 27-year-old woman with six children. Her husband left her and is in another state. The lady earns $lO4 every two weeks plus $35 per week for taking care of six other children part time. The case was denied and it was recommended she apply for surplus food. In the third case a woman mpved ; from Michigan. She has seven \ children and is earning $95 per I week. In January her Michigan wel- j fare was discontinued. The board tabled the case for 30 days while it checks with toe Michigan authori-, i lies. ' . The fourth case is a man with 10 chiktren ranging in age from 14 ! to eight months. He was burned j and is in the hospital. He needs help until he can get on his feet. He earns $132 per week and will repay what the welfare gives him when he is able. It was granted. The medical assistance for the aged was a 75 year old person in a nursing home who has one child who will help pay. This was approved. In ADC cases the case worker was instructed to find out about the mother, the job she is holding, her. education and what type of job she has held in the past. Thev are starting to work toward rehabilitaj tion for these cases. A funeral home had a $270 claim against a recipient who died a year ago. The home wanted its money. ! The board denied the claim as the lawyer had opened the estate. r A recipient has applied for $l2O for four days stay in the hospital. This was tabled for 60 days. I The directors and case workers

were given permission to attend a meeting at Indianapolis to November. There no new old age assistance cases and one case was discontinued. The 140 recipients recieved awards of $6,911 and medical expenses of $9,373.12 for a total of The disabled cases included the new case and one case which was denied. The 34 recipients received . awards of $1,376 and medical expenses of $1,832.47 fbr a total of $3,208.47. In the ADC cases besides toe four mentioned above three were discontinued and one was denied.

The total expenses amounted to $34,071.67. Older Persons Need Help The fact was brought to the attention of the welfare board that, there are older persons in the county who are retired and need helo. j The economy is so high it is impossible for them to meet their expenses. Many of them are reluctant to apply for welfare. They are people who really need help. i Board member Bill Chapel reported that in one case where he told an older person to apply the case workers were very rude. The application was discouraged and not even taken. He out the fact that there were no new old age assistance cases on the list for Tuesday’s meeting. Howard Johnson, head of the department, stated he was glad it ■ was brought to his attention and it t wouldn’t occur again. Mr. Chapri ■ asked that case workers be courteous. stating these are proud people in their 80's. It seems the only ones asking for welfare are the : divorced or those with children

born out of wedlock. Members of toe board attending were Mrs. Wayne (Irene' Bucher, president Nellie Garman, Guy Hygema. William Chapel and James Snodgrass. I Dolan Dr.- . .

United Fund Drive Begins In Milford According to John Augsburger, Milford’s United Fund campaign chairman, the drive has been slow getting underway because he was on vacation. However, things are beginning to take shape and he feels the $1,950 goal will be reached. Mr. Augsburger stated the drive should be going "full blast” by next week. He went on to say it is the duty of every person to help with this worthwhile project. Anyone willing to assist is asked to contact Mr. Augsburger. - | Editor's Mail Bag j Concerned About Tree Dear Sir: As I was reading The South Bend Tribune this morning, I ran across a pitcure of a tree' which has grown on toe Elkhart side of toe ElkhartKosciusko county line road and has fallen and is now resting on a tree on the Kosciusko side. Syracuse police chief Dan Ganger has asked that it be removed before an accident occurs and no one has done anything about it. It seems that they are undecided about which county should do it! Well, how- childish can you get? Why don’t a few men from both counties simply get together and get the job done before someone gets hurt? A Goshen College Student From Syracuse Bhoph Local stork
