ROOF LINING
How well the roof is “lined"
has an important bearing on
the comfort and security of a
home.
The Southern Pine Associa
tion recommends a “lining” of
solid boards across rafters
beneath the roofing materials.
This lumber strengthens the
roof structure and secures
shingles against wind damage.
It utilizes the natural insula
tion value of wood to increase
comfort in rooms below.

Handbook Describes Duties of
Board Family-Children Services
“A good County Board Mem
ber is interested in meeting the
needs of the people in his
county—and believes in the
basic goodness and dignity of
every human being”—are some
of the quotations from the new
Handbook of County Board of
Family and Children Services,
which Mrs. Bruce Schaefer
presented to the State Board
Monday.
Now that we have full Board
membership in almost all of
the counties in the State, Mrs.
Schaefer announced that dis
trict workshops for County
Board Members would be held
in each Congressional District
beginning immediately.
The first of the series of ten
district workshops for County
Board Members will be held at
the Fulton County Commis
sioners’ Board Room October
16, 1963, Mrs. Schaefer an
nounced. Mrs. Ada Toombs,
member of State Board of Fam
ily and Children Services from
District 5, will be in charge of
this meeting.
Members of the professional
staff of the State Department
will discuss the role of a mem
ber of the county board and
how he can best discharge this
important civic responsibility.
Members of the State Board of
family and Children Services,
members of the Fulton Coun
ty Board of Family and Chil
dren Services, and the Fulton
County Commissioners have
been invited to attend this ini
tial workshop.
Mrs. Homer M. Parker, the
new Board Member from Dis
trict 4. announced that her
workshop would be held at
Griffin on November 13, 1963.
The Handbood for Members
of County Board of Family
and Children Services is a
pocket-size, 27-page booklet
carrying the picture of a
group purportedly holding a
Board meeting on its bright
canary cover. The Department
distributed nearly one thou
sand copies of this handbook
this week to the 795 County
Board Members, County De
partments, State Board Mem
bers, and district and State
office personnel, Mrs. Schae
fer said.
The handbook, which is an
updated revision of former edi
tions, together with the Man
ual of Public Welfare Admin
istration, serves to acquaint the
County Board Members with
the fine programs of Public
Assistance and services avail
able to Georgians by virtue of
the Welfare laws, Mrs. Schaef
er continued.
Believing in the basic prin-
Thursday, October 10, 1955
ciples of self-government and
local autonomy, we have dele
gated as much authority ai
possible to County Boards, Mrs.
Schaefer pointed out. How
ever, the Federal Government
provides 77 percent of our
funds and we are beginning to
feel more and more the weight
of Federal influence and con
trol.
“This Handbook describes
most of your duties and respon
sibilities, as a County Board
Member, in meeting the obli
gation of your County De
partment of Family and Chil
dren Services to assist ths
troubled, ailing and needy.”
In the board member’s oath
he agrees that he will not use
the office for personal gain, or
political preferment, and that
no member of his immediate
family is an employee of the
County Department and »ne
receives a Public Assistance
grant or other benefit at the
hands of the Board.
The handbook reflects a new
policy of Board memberships
to the effect that no elected
official or person who is em
ployed by any branch of gov
ernment will be appointed to
a County Board, and further
states that any Board member
who fails to attend three con
secutive meetings without due
cause, will be considered to
have abandoned his office.
“The smallest good deed is
better than the grandest good
intention.” . . . Duguet.
