Welfare expenses increase 5 %

In a preview of the recentlyreleased annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30. Donald L. Blizinger. state welfare administrator, indicated that welfare expenditures increased about five percent in fiscal year 84 over fiscal year 83 with an outlay of $359 million in state funds. Gross expenditures, including federal funding of’s7s9 million and county funding of Aearly SBB million, were $1.2 billion for the year ’He indicated that the - increase of s6l million is one of the smallest in recent years “Much progress has been realized in® “slowing the rate of growth of welfare expenditures while maintaining the necessary levels of service, owing to a positive upturn in Indiana economy and the modification of health care costs.” Blizinger reported that over 55 percent of the $1.2 billion went for health care, primarily Medicaid for the Aged. Blind and Disabled Other health care programs were Services for Crippled Children, Hospital Care for the Indigent, and Eye Treatment “As a result.” he said, "the composition of Indiana’s population being served by the welfare department has changed dramatically from the stereotype of a welfare person to those persons who are financially unable to obtain medical services ” Although actual spending increased to maintain or increase the levels of services, state welfare officials did not spend $32.9 million that had been appropriated by the General Assembly Blizinger said. “We were able to maximize the services legally available for the eligible recipients, while protec-

ting the taxpayer dollar in an efficient manner.” "Governor Robert D. Orr has directed our agency, among others, to operate in a business like manner to be more responsive to the needs of all Hoosiers,” he added. “As a result, more efficient operation and changes in various regulations played a large role in holding down welfare costs.” A significant savings was realized with the implementation of a new nursing home rate setting regulation. Blizinger said that nearly $1.2 million in administrative funding costs was returned to the state treasury because of reorganization and redefinition of job responsibilities. More emphasis has been placed on reducing errors in calculating benefits and increasing the use of automation. Within the gross expenditures of $1.2 billion for fiscal year 84, Medicaid increased by $32.7 million, going to $633 million. Other health programs increased as well.

went to $.2 million totaling $16.2 thousand going to $614,000. " Indiana’s major income support programs showed Aid to Families with Dependent Children going to $l5O million, up $5.4 million and Food Stamps going to $259.7 million, up $l.B million. Child Welfare/Social Services activities went to $29.6 million, up $2.8 million, mainly in the area of child abuse and neglect prevention, and permanent placement of children. Blizinger was apprehensive about public expectations for continued moderation in welfare expenditures. He pointed out several factors that are anticipated to increase expenditures during the coming fiscal year. “The rising cost of health care and the increasing number of recipients will continue to exert pressure on expenditures on all funds,” he said. “Congress has expanded Medicaid eligibility to include increased prenatal care for pregnant women. Hospital care for the Indigent, a totally county funded program, is one of the fastest rising financial burdens for county government.”

Farm notes

Control of pests encouraged now “The fall harvest season is a good time to begin control measures for those rats and mice which eat the grain you store,” says Eldon Kessler, product information coordinator, Crop Chemical Department, Indiana Farm Bureau Cooperative Association, Inc. According to Kessler, “Rats and mice will steal your grain and cause serious economic losses. The United States Department of Agriculture estimates that one rat will eat, or pollute, $25 worth of grain a* year.” Pork seminar in November A marketing education seminar designed to assist pork producers in making

The Trojan horse

By CHAR BUTLER Guest Feature Writer It was a preposterous idea but it could work! We watched our favorite coffee shop and when the owner came in to tidy and the window sign read CLOSED, we’d do it! Something had to be dohe as Roger's usually delicious coffee was so strong not even cream and sugar camouflaged the. bitterness. For the past six weeks grumb.ling customers ate medium eggs cooked hard and I’d fried better bacon, outdoors, when I was a Campfire Girl! He’d decided to cashier this summer and give his waitress wife some free time. But he wasn’t aware the new help was pushing his customers, even the regulars, down the street to Tuesday’s Place. We rapped on the door. “What’s up?” he asked, knowing something was. “You eaten yet?” “No,” he answered, not sure he wanted to let us in. “Good! The three of us are cooking your breakfast!” SultryVoice had spoken. Outnumbered, he sat at a table, lighted a cigarette and looked over a Sunday morning paper one of us brought along. Forethought. I cooked as I was the leastlikely to succeed; breakfast was destined to be a disaster. One of my cousins made coffee in the Cory, purposely a hardy brew; Sultry-Voice threw a quick table setting in front of him without saying one pleasant word. He glanced at us, apprehensively. Some minutes later Coffee Maker placed breakfast before him, and she scowled, not very convincingly, but the ugliest this good-natured teacher could manage. "Umm! This looks great!” he exclaimed happily. Roger’s first surprise was the medium eggs They were as hard as I could cook them. But he didn’t complain, even jokingly.

The bacon was far from done .. . and the toast, limp. It ,was the Very Terrible Coffee he commented on, bless his tactful heart. “Plenty to eat!” he said. ; We laughed but we knew we were making a point — or something. "What’s this all about, anyway?” He looked like he didn't want to know. “Your coffee has gone to pot, so to speak. The cook ruins nearly everything and that curly-haired, short waitress is an inveterate grouch. But the main thing is, you are losing customers, many of the old ones, but you don’t or

Next morning he was back on the grill, humming a tune of sorts and coffee-tending. His lovely, outgoing wife waited tables and their pretty teenage niece cashiered.
