Board of Natural Resources.
Grants will be made by the
State to local governments on

period of availability being
July 1. 1977 to April 1, 1978.

Fraud Unit in Welfare Program
Recovered $455,000 In One Year
Within the last year more
than $455,000 has been
recovered from persons
convicted of welfare fraud in
Georgia.
Statistics released by the
Georgia Department of Hu
man Resources (DHR) show
that from July 1,1976 to June
30, 1977, 8,149 cases of
suspected welfare fraud
were referred from county
Departments of Family and
Children Services to DHR
attorneys in Atlanta. More
than 1400 of those were
referred to local district
attorneys for prosecution. To
date 413 persons have either
pleaded guilty or have been
convicted of fraud involving
Aid to Families with De
pendent Children, food
stamps or Medicaid. The
amount of money recovered
was $455,312 and 2450
voluntary restitution agree
ments were signed.

special administrative ser
vices section, credits work

Oh, Wise and Upright Judge
The young judge had a
bootlegger before him. It was
his first case and he was
undecided as to what to do
with the offender. Excusing
himself for a moment, he
stepped into the corridor and
met an old time jurist.
“Oh, Jedge,” he said, “I’ve
a bootlegger before me and I
don’t know what to give
him.”
“Well,” replied the old
timer, “don’t give him more
than $4 a quart, that’s all I
ever give him.”
Any Fool Can Quit
Whether you are a day
laborer or president of a
large company, office boy or
superintendent of the works,
you are sure to come to the
point sooner or later at which
things will not go to suit you,
and you will be an unusual
person if the first thing you
think of is not to quit your
job.
This is the very place
where you will need self
control. Just remember that
any fool can quit, but the one
who sticks and makes a
success of his job, overcom
ing every obstacle to do so, is
a genius.
There are unpleasant oc
currences in every job; there
are obstacles to overcome by
all who would rise above the
work which a person can do
with his hands, without the
use of his head; and the
extent to which a person
meets these conditions phi
losophically with a smile
instead of a frown will mark
that person’s degree of
success.
If you can control yourself
when you feel like saying, “I
will quit,” you will soon
control the conditions which
make you want to quit.
Only The Commandments

WOMAN: “Only the Ten

local prosecutors for the
success of the program.
“When we first began
prosecuting welfare fraud in
1971 we collected $70,000,”
says Owen. “Since then the
number of convictions and
the amount of recovered
money has grown signifi
cantly and by June of next
year we are projecting a
collection of $600,000.”
’’welfare fraud hurts
everyone,” says DHR Com
missioner Dr. Douglas Skel
ton. “It hurts the taxpayers
and it hurts families in
genuine need by taking away
needed assistance dollars.”
Both the state and federal
governments are devoting
increasing amounts of time
to finding ways to track
deliberate fraud and dis
cover and correct accidental
errors by public assistance
workers and recipients.
If you suspect someone of
receiving aid to which he or
she is not entitled, write your
county Department of
Family and Children Ser
vices.
