Welfare Board Continues Study of Adoption Policy

Members of the " Kosciusko county ' j welfare board spent considerable t time during their meeting Tuesday ' afternoon studying the adoption 1 policy of the county. Following the study and discus- I sion board members appointed at- * torney William Dalton, case worker Keith Rensbarger and director ( Howard Johnson, to work on a plan < that followed their policy and in- ( eluded the fee policy — not to ex- • ceed S3OO. The new plan is to be j presented at the next meeting. The board wants a simple plan that complies with the law. Once a plan is approved by county board members it will be sent to the state welfare board for its approval. Board members Bill Chappel and James Snodgrass discussed the obligation of the mother and father ‘ to a child, stating they are respon- : sible until the child is adopted. I Members want the father’s name j as they feel, even though he may , be married to another woman, he . is responsible. Not knowing the father, the case worker can’t > recommend the child for adoption I as he doesn’t know the background. , Board members stated they are breaking down morals of the society. An expectant mother who goes to the welfare department needs to understand if she doesn’t give the baby’s father’s name she is responsible for all money for delivery of the child. Rensbarger Leaving Since Keith Rensbarger will be leaving for his new position in Huntington before the next board meeting he told board members he had a good working relationship I, while in Kosciusko county and was sorry’ to leave but it was a better opportunity. Mr. Rensbarger will leave on March 1. Board member James Snodgrass stated he had done a good job and anyone who replaced him will have to “go some to do it.” Board members told Mr. Rensbarger they appreciated what he had done as acting director but they wanted a business man to run the department as a case worker is to close to the cases. OAA All old age assistance cases considered were approved. They included aid for a man 65 who has been ill and unable to work for two years; a man 80 in a nursing home, he lias two sons who are Smith & Armbruster 674.17 Sipe & Rhodes 657.45 Cobbum & Hostettler 647.43 Honor Scores — C.
