ATTENTION FOCUSED on
this country’s program of aid to
dependent children as the result
of the alarming nationwide in
crease in illegitimacy has raised a
serious question about the sound
ness of its basic concept.
The program was initiated a
quarter of a century ago for the
rn h era to
erage has been expanded to the
point where virtually all such
cases are now provided for under
the terms of that program. That
has left ADC, as the dependent
children program is known, as a
catchall for support of children
born out of wedlock or deserted
by their fathers. This evolution
and the widely-publicized attend
ant abuses have caused a great
loss of public confidence in the
program and a swelling criticism
of it as subsidization of irrespon
sible—and, in many cases, crimin
al —social behavior.
• * «
THE FACT THAT the ADC
program today is principally con
cerned with nameless and aban
doned children unfortunately has
obscured the basic fallacy of the
program as presently constituted;
that is, in requiring the absence of
a father as a prerequisite for
assistance it places a premium
upon broke* homes and thus en
courages the existence of the very
conditions it was established to
•Direct.
Since first expressing my in
terest in having ADC pe-evaluated
in the light of its effect upon
unacceptable social relationships,
I have been in correspondence
with a number of state welfare j
directors and I have found that 1
MARRIAGE AND FAMILY NO DETERRENT
TO PERRYANS COMPLETING EDUCATION
Getting a college education is a
full-time job for anyone.
But taking care of a home and
family, and still finding time for
study, requires double-duty action
from those who attempt it.
For several years Mercer Uni
versity, Macon, has been the scene
of many car pools of young Per
ry housewives arriving for class.
Among the married students
who attended Mercer this past
year were: Mrs. Angela Silcox,
Mrs. Hubert Aultman, Mrs. Walter
Gray Jr., Mrs. Allen Tabor and
Mrs. Richard Roughton.
Mrs. Silcox, a native of Perry,
attended the University of Geor
gia before her marriage. Last win
ter she resumed her junior year
at Mercer.

WHAT makes fishing fun?
Many things. Ask a dozen
anglers and probably no two of
them will give you identical an
j swers. Non-anglers, however, are
| more specific. They usually have
j two “stock” answers when anyone
j asks why they have no interest in
piscatorial endeavors. I. “Fishing
| Is nothing but a waste of time.”
| and 2. “I never catch anything, so
I 1 just gave it up.”
Is fishing a waste of time? Os
course not ... no more than is
j golfing, boating, swimming, dan
j cing or any other type of re
creational activity. An important
factor that many recreation-seek
j ers overlook is that fishing is one
I of very few recreational activities
i In which each individual can "set
his own pace.” How’s this? Sim
ple. If you are on the golf course
and poke along too slowly, the
| foursome behind you is going to
I get mighty nervous and upset. Go
dancing and you have to keep in
step with the music.
With fishing, well, it’s different.
A man can write his own ticket.
He can ready work at it; stay up
all night gathering night crawlers
(worms, you non - fishermen) or
soft craws (crayfish which have
ahed their outer shell; a prime
bass bait in some sections of the
country).
Then, on the other hand, a fel
low can buy all the bait and lures
he needs at the local sporting
goods store. He can take along a
son, cousin, neighbor, or some
neophyte who Is more than happy
to carry the minnow bucket and
fishing poles just for the chance to
go a’flshing. You’re more than
apt to see this take-lt-easy angler
stretched out in the shade some
where along the bank, hat pulled
down over his brow, bis thoughts
off In the wild blue yonder. He’s
|be fellow who earned fishing the
title of a “laxy man's endeavor.'*
virtually all of them feel that the
program should be revised to put
the emphasis on the welfare of the
child rather than the status of the
parent. As Frank M. Woods, Di
rector of the Nebraska State Divi
sion of Public Welfare, empha
sized to me, instead of being a
deterrent to common-law marital
arrangements and other illicit
situations, ADC actually encou
rages them “because it is when
legality and conventionality of
relationships are established that
the automatic disqualification for
aid takes place.”
* » ♦
THE CONSENSUS OF the
state welfare officials with whom
I corresponded was that the suc
cess and acceptability of the ADC
program could be greatly im
proved simply by eliminating the
present rigid federal eligibility
requirements and permitting in
stead complete flexibility on the
state and local levels to handle
each case in the light of its own
peculiar circumstances. Thus, if
an unwed mother misbehaved, the
child could be removed from her
custody; if a father could be lo
cated and returned, he could be
assisted in re-establishing his
family and getting on his feet;
adoptions could be encouraged and
assisted; and welfare money could
be summarily removed from the
hands of the chiselers and the
depraved.
While such a change might
me&n more in initial program
costs, by assuring that unfortun
ate children would be properly
reared for responsible citizenship,
it ultimately would pay for itself
in both tangible benefit to the
public treasury and in intangible
benefit to society. Needless to say,
the welfare bureaucrats here in
Washington are unalterably op
posed to the proposal.
Mrs. Aultman has been a stu
dent for two years, and will con
tinue her studies this summer.
Mrs. Gray attended Valdosta
State College before her marriage.
She received a Bachelor of Arts
degree in History at Mercer this
June. Working for her masters in
Education, Mrs. Gray will resume
her studies this summer, and will
i join the Perry High School faculty
t in September.
[ Mrs. Tabor, a native of San Pe
. dro, California, was an art student
at Agnes Scott College in Atlanta
before making her home in Perry.
• Filling her requirements for a de
■ gree in Elementary Education,
' Mrs. Tabor graduated from Mer
: cer this June.
Mrs. Roughton, also a June gra
duate, received a Bachelor of
Science degree with a major in
chemistry.

Perry Junior at Tech and His Buddy
Make Canoe Trip Down the Ocmulgee
A Perry junior at Georgia Tech,
Edmund Duggan, and his buddy,
Tech Junior Ray Porter of Barnes
ville, set sail in a Duggan-made
canoe from Macon Sunday on a
voyage that will end up at Jekyll
Island in seven to nine days.
The voyagers left the Spring
Street Bridge in Macon about 7
a. m. Sunday and actually expect
to make the 400-mile trip in seven
days. They put a maximum of nine
days on their trip because they
have to go to work and to school
shortly.
The 19-foot canoe is quite an
elaborate afafir. Made out of Fi
berglass it is equipped with a sail,
a rudder, oars and a steering
wheel.
In the canoe the 21-year-old
Duggan and the 22-year-old Porter
will carry a stove, on which they
will do their own cooking, water,
sleeping bags, a tent and provi
sions.
This will not be their first at
tempt to conquer the river. Last
year they set out on the same trip
but miscalculated the speed of the
current and allowed only four
days. On the fourth day they were
no further than Abbeville and had
to give up.
They now estimate the current
SMOOTH AS RIDING OVER A PENCIL LINE
. - - your ride on modern concrete
with sawed joints
Driving is 100% enjoyment on modem concrete. Smooth and quiet.
No thumps. This is continuous-laid pavement. .. with only tiny,
sawed-in cushion spaces. You can’t hear or feel them.
And laid flat, concrete stays flat. Only concrete can be built
to such flatness. It’s placed and leveled to accurate engineering
standards—not just pounded into shape.
You can expect highways of modem concrete to last 50 years and
more. Initial cost is moderate. Upkeep costs will always stay low.
All mighty good news for you as a taxpayer.
It’s easy to see why concrete is your best buy
for heavy-duty highway, like those on the new e „,
Interstate System. Want to know more? Write Jf carvad from rock I
