State Assistance
Committee to Aid
Depends Childr'n
Appropriation of $8,782.77 Is Hade
Available for the Period End
ing June 30, 1937.
HOME TALENT PLAY
Through the State Associance com
mittee Cass county can receive ap
proximately 18,782.77 from the State
Assistance Fund for the period end
ing June 30, 1937 for aid to depend
children. Of this amount 1585.52 is
allocated for the month of April. In
addition to the state money there is
$292.76 available for April from fed
eral funds allocated to the state for
this purpose. This makes a total of
$878. 2S available to this county for
the month of April for aid to depend
ent children.
This assistance to the county is
made available by the recent special
session of the legislature called by
Governor R. L. Cochran. Because the
state laws passed at that time meet
the requirements of the federal so-j
cial security law, Nebraska is being
allocated money for dependent chil
dren, child welfare and crippled
children, as w ell as old age and blind
assistance. The administration of de
pendent children is handled In the
county by the county board, county
treasurer, and county public welfare
board, if any. These people consti
tute the county assistance committee.
The state agency in charge of the
children's work is the State Child
Welfare Bureau, directed by Maud E.
Nuquist. The State Child Welfare
Bureau is a division of the state as
sistance committee. Dependent chil
dren aid i3 given by the county board
on the basis of need. A budget is
worked cut for each individual case
showing the income and need for that
family. The amount of assistance
granted is planned to help make up
the difference between the family's
need and income. The state office
is stressing thorough investigation so
that the need for assistance may be
"carefully determined and funds used
for the maximum number of cases to
the best advantage. The grant made
by the county must be on the basis
of good and sufficient record. Three
percent of the money granted the
county may be used for administra
tion. A child in order to be eligible for
dependent children assistance must
be:
1. One who is under 16 years of
age. 1
2. One who has been deprived of
parental support or care of a parent
by reason of death, absence from the
home, or mental or physical incapa
city of one of the parents.
3. One who has a year's residence
In the state of Nebraska.
4. One who is living with a rela
tive. 5. One who is in need. A maximum
of $18 for the first child and $12
for each additional child may be giv
en. These amounts, however, are
modified by the individual family
budget.
Under the crippled children's pro
gram money is available through the
State Child Welfare Bureau for treat
ment of children who are suffering
from a physical defect or a condition
leading to crippling. Application for
this type of assistance is received by
the county assistance director and
referred to the crippled children's di
vision of the State Child Welfare Bu
reau, oney for crippled children is
disbursed only for services and care.
This money is not granted for food
and shelter in the form of a grant
as in old age, blind and dependent
children assistance. Each case will
be carefully investigated by the State
Welfare Bureau and plan3 made by
that agency in co-operation with lo
cal health authorities. Counties are
urged to make plans for as many
cases as they can and assist in one
way or another in all cases.
The county assistance director has
received the necessary blanks and
information for filling in these blanks
from the director of the State Child
Welfare Bureau. As soon as thorough
investigation can be made by the
county, dependent children assistance
will be granted to those cases found
in need. After the county board
make3 their findings and the appli
cation and written investigation sum
mary is referred to the State Child
Welfare Bureau where certificates au
thorizing payment by the county
treasurer is issued. Ten days must
elapse between the time the county
hoard makes its findings and the cer
tificate is issued so the pplicant can
appeal from the findings of the coun
ty board.
One of the most talented group of
local amateurs is now busily engaged
in rehearsing for "Mrs. Temple's
Telegram," a 3-act farce comedy, to
be given by the Plattsmouth Dra
matic club, under sponsorship of the
Women's Federation of the Meth
odist church. This rollicking com
edy is to be the initial home talent
play to be presented at the Cass the
tre on Tuesday and Wednesday even
ings, April 2Sth and 29th.
This is one of the most cleverly
written plays that has ever been of
fered by a local group of amateurs.
The manner In which the numerous
situations arise and the method by
which they are handled lends to the
entire play an atmosphere of rare en
tertainment and humor.
Under the direction of Miss Ber
niece Wieland the cast, composed of
such well known favorites as Wini
fred Rainey, Helen Schultz, Edna
Herring, Gertrude Vallery, Wilber
Hall, Chris Bulin, Greth Garnett and
Robert Wurl, will have for all those
who witness this production a play
that will be long remembered as an
outstanding feature of amateur tal
ent.
Ticket sellers are now canvassing
the entire city. There will be re
served seats for both nights and an
nouncement as to "reservations will
be made at a later date. The entire
downstairs of the theatre will be re
served for 35c a seat. Balcony tick
ets, not reserved, are 25c a seat.
