HcEbrook Addresses Utah County Women's Legislative Council "Society pays a greater price if the needy are not taken care of," Ward C.Holbrook told members mem-bers of the Women's Legislative Council of Utah County. The executive exec-utive director of the Department of Social Services said this ac counts only for the cost of court processes, imprisonment, pro bation, etc., without considering the great worth of human lives The cost of this department to the state is $63 billion for 1970 to be upped to $73 billion in 1971 This budget allocation is second only to the cost of education.) Mr. Holbrook outlined the new organization of the Department of Social Services. He explained that the governor provides general supervision and administration. administra-tion. The executive director is directly responsible for department depart-ment business. Working with him is a 52-member Comprehensive Health Planning Council andPro-gram andPro-gram Evaluation unit of six members. mem-bers. Presently there are four divisions di-visions within the department, seven to be in operation by July 1. The seven-divisicn organization organiza-tion will include: Family Services, Ser-vices, Health, Corrections, Drugs, Indian Affairs, Mental Health, and Aging. There are in Utah, Mr. Holbrook Hol-brook said, some 40,000 or 4.2 percent of the state population on welfare. Of this number 28,-000 28,-000 are women and children; 5,-000 5,-000 over 65 years of age; 5,-000 5,-000 permanently disabled under 65; 2,000 in nursing homes and 230 blind persons. He went on to say that Utah has one of the smallest proportions of blind persons, and mentally disabled in the nation. But ;.e also stated that Utah has one of the highest di vorce rates in the U. S., with ; record of one divorce for every three marriager. Women and children make up two-thirds of those on welfare, And two-thirds of the 28,000 are victims of divorce or de sertion. Accounting for the oth er one-third are widows and unwed un-wed mothers with illegitimate children. Thirteen per cent of the total 28,000 are illegitimate cases. A mother receives $19 per month per child, he explain ed, barely a subsistence. According to statistics of the Utah Foundation, the cost of wel- percent of the state budget outlay, out-lay, which has been reduced to .7 percent in 1969. In 1952, 28 percent of the welfare budget went to assist the poor. This is presently down to nine percent. Medical help is where the greatest increase nas come.l Medical help to the aged and working poor has risen from $6 million to $38 million in the past four years. On the average, three percent of the population are mentally retarded, re-tarded, plus there are those who are physically or emotionally handicapped. These are individuals individ-uals who must have public assistance, as-sistance, he said. In reply to a question concerning concern-ing second and third generation welfare recipients, Mr. Holbrook said 60 percent of those receiving receiv-ing welfare have been on the rolls for less than a year, 18 percent for one year and 22 per cent more than one year. Where families are constant welfare recipients, inheritable problems are usually the reason. Some eight percent of families on welfare wel-fare are second generation. recipients, re-cipients, third generation account for four percent. More than 60 percent go off welfare assistance every year, but there is always a new crop needing help. Explaining the "Nixon" wel fare plan, Mr. Holbrook stated it would provide $3,00 per year per four-member family. This would b $1,000 for an adult and $600 per child. Persons who work would be allowed to keep $720 more, upping the annual wage to $3,920 and tnen half of all else earned. This would be for families not now qualifying for welfare. Whereas $4 billion presently is set aside to aid the working poor, Nixon's plan would more than double this cost. The Federal Fed-eral government pays two-thirds two-thirds of welfare costs, the states one-third. If the bill passes, it will raise the present state matching funds in Utah from $6 million to $15 or $18 million dollars. J. Keith Melville of Orem, teacher of American Government pnd History at BYU, traced the history of welfare in the United States'. He pointed out the signif- I HOJll t,liUlC ill U1C lUUUll y UUU1 tion. We live in an altogether different society than did our forefathers oi 200 years ago. During the founding years of the country there was a jreat degree of community and interpersonal inter-personal responsibility. Welfare was the responsibility of charity or the church. After the constitution it became the responsibility of state or local government. Private ownership was considered almost sacred. Then situations arose where private enterprise sometimes so closely effected public interest that controls became necessary (Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle," concerning the meat packing industry.) in-dustry.) The "New Deal" of Franklin D. Roosevelt reordered social values, opportunities were to be better equalized. Mr. Melville outlined the Social Security Act of 1935, and the 1964 War on Poverty by President Lindon B. Johnson. Poverty exists in out-of-the way places, slums, farms, etc., said Mr. Melville. In past years the poor had no face, no program, and there was no one to speak for them. This must change in order to provide for helpless children and the aged. "Do something with a postive view," he urged the Council members. The meeting was arranged by the Welfare Committee, Mrs. Sterling Ballard, Mrs. Grant Carlisle and Mrs. Parley R.

Each has its benefits it's up to you to decide which you prefer. Self-cleaning (pyrolytic) gas ovens operate on a special cycle and reduce oven soil to a fine ash which wipes quickly away. Some models incorporate the broiler in the oven so that it also cleans automatically. Gas seif-cleaning ovens operate faster and more economically than the flameless kind. Continuous cleaning (catalytic) gas ovens help keep themselves clean at normal nor-mal baking temperatures. All but heavy soil or sill-overs disappears while you cook.
