The callers at the United States postoffice today (Thurs day) were startled to hear the cherrie peen of small chicks that seemed out of place with the mercury at 9 below zero. A shipment of baby chicks ar rived at the postoffice on the early train and was given some snappy handling- by ;the mail men and the postal employes to see that they were not injured by the extreme cold.

THOMAS WALLING CO. Abstracts of Title "Title Insurance" Plattsmouth, Nebraska Public Welfare Report Given For Year 1947 (Continued from Page One) people. Thirty-two elderly per sons receiving care in these homes re under the supervision of this Agency. Hillcrest, which was Dut into operation in 1946. cares for only mentally ill adults. At ithe present time it is filled to . caDacitv. with several on the waiting list. This home was for- merlv the Cass County Farm, which is now privately leased and operated. Cass county is 3 preatly in need of a convalescent Home for old people, to care for the chronically ill. It is a com mon occurrence for the staff to receive calls at all hours of the day or night reporting that "John Jones" is ill with pneumon ia, heart attack, etc.. and has no no one to care for him. It is our sincere hone that 1948 will see the establishment of such a Home in the county. Being forced through circum stances, many times bevond their control, to accept Public Assist ance, does not deprive persons of their rights as a citizen. We often receive calls stating that "Bill Black is living in an old shack, is dirty and does not eat properly. The Agency is reques ed to clean him up or move him into a Nursing Home. We have no lepal risht to either force "Bill Black" to move or to give him a bath. We can suggest to him the advantages of both, but we cannot deprive him of his right to live where and as he chooses. If his unsanitary con dition is a menace to the com munity, we suggest that it be re-1 entire yey that either through inoroTv or indifference the parents fail to coonerate. During the vear four bovs were relnsd from th Bov's Industrial School r.n onrnV under the unervipirn of this Apncv. This ropc'sibilitv en tails careful parole olanning and close sunervision for one vear. Fo'.ir rhildren were relinauished bv their parents who requested the Apencv's 1t1d in making suitable plans. Twelve children were placed in boarding or foster homes and were supervised by the Agencv. This suuervisinn includes nlar.ning for any neces sary medical care. Eleven child ren were taken to Lincoln for Psycholopical examinations, and two children to Omaha for Psy chiatric examinations. Seventeen crippled and hnndicaoned child ren were provided with surgical, medical and therapeutic servic es. A total of $30,000 of county, state and federal funds was ex pended during the vear for tho care of destitute children. With this amount, complete care was provided for 145 persons for the Ported to the Board of Health. If. however, Bill Black becomes The total amount expended for all types of assistance in this chysical'v or mentally ill, we are county during 1947 was $211. responsible for his welfare and i 492.28.

If Pete is SDending part of his Old Age Assistance for beer, he is depriving himself of one of the above necessities and is the one who loses by it. In extreme cases when it is found that Pete is using his allowance for rent to purchase beer, we can take it for granted that he is not nayin? his rent and does not need the allow ance and it can be deducted from the amount he receives. Another erroneous impression held by many persons is that anyone who is sixty-five or older is entitled to assistance. Only those nerns in actual need are eligible. This need must be established beyond any question of doubt, as well as the financial situation of their children, and means many hours of investigation and verification by the workers. All investig tions, home visits and purposeful interviews must be recorded in detail, subject to Federal and State review. The next function of this Agency, and certainly not the least, is its services to children. Nebraska Statute 43-502 makes it mandatory upon the County Wel fare Board and its agent, the Public Welfare Director, to take responsibility for investigating the circumstances of those child ren in the county who are de pendent, destitute, abandoned, neglected, delinquent, physically or mentally handicapped or crip pled, or who have been born out of wedlock, and for providing whatever care and services 'such children may need. During 1947 sixteen children were found to be dependent and neglected by the Juvenile Court Smd were taken from the custody of the parents. These children were placed in institutions for eventual placement in normal foster or adoptive homes. A de pendency and neglect charge may constitute moral as well as physical neglect. Two girls were found to be delinquent and were committed'to the Girl's Training School at Geneva. Three child ren were committed to the Beat rice Home for the Feeble-Mind-ed, and one girl received care at the Mdford Home for unmar ried mothers. All of these ac tions were taken only after in tensive work by the Agency staff with the families involved. Every effort is made to preserve family groups until it is found is obviously due to increased cost of living and not an in crease in the number of recip ients. The total cost of adminis tration for the year was $$14,897. 63, approximately 7 percent. These administrative costs of the Agency are paid from state and federal funds set aside by law for that purpose. The Workers in the Agency made 3G72 field and office interviews with clients and relatives during the year, and 754 collateral interviews to determine eligibility and need. The Public Welfare staff wishes to take this opportunity to publicly express their appre ciation for the cooperation given them by business and profession al people and organizations throughout the county. With out their help it would be im possible to administer a program of this size efficiently and with fairness to all. The doctors, with few exceptions, have been most cooperative in helping us pro vide necessary medical care as economically as possible. The County Assistance Committee has been very understanding of our many problems and has taken a sincere interest in the welfare of the clients. ' ARDYTH G. HALL.
