Pinson, Sr., and famliy have moved into their re cently completed new home on East Centennial street Laurens, Jan. 20—Whether or not Laurens County needs and can pro vide the services of a paid home maker working through the Depart ment of Public Welfare and the Laurens County Health Department is a question which the Laurens County Council of Social Agencies hopes to have ajvswered in the near future, according t o Thomas A. Babb, president of the council. Mr. Babb announced that a committee' headed by Mrs Harold P, Goller as chairman, is undertaking the proj ect of determining whether home maker service as a method of serv ing children is definitely needed and wanted in the county. Mrs. Goller said the service is in widespread use throughout the country under a program mapped out by Federal Security Agency of the Social Se curity Administration, Children’s Bureau. x Other committee members are Mrs. R. B. Workman and Mrs. L. T. Lawson, of the health depart ment, and Howard Watkins, the county service officer. Mrs. Mabel B. Little, director of the welfare department, is advisor to the group. Mrs. Goller issued the following statement in connection with the proposed homemaker program: _ “In the midk of pressures and demands on family life many par ents must face the problem of the care of children when the mother falls ill, goes to a hospital, leaves the father, or dies We see most parents making every effort to en list the help of a relative, a do mestic, a friend or neighbor, and occasionally putting the children in charge of younger ones in or der to keep the family together. “Family agencies have developed programs of homemaker care in re cent years because of the increasing strains on families who have to rely on unstable arrangements for their children and cannot afford or find responsible domestic service. Chil dren’s agencies are expanding homemaker service to avoid the ne cessity of foster home placement whenever possible. “Another impetus to homemaker service is the trend in the health field toward care of the chronically ill patient at home when medically t>ossible. Homemaker service is of ten a necessity to such a plan and aids both mother and children when the nWtfffer is the patient . ‘Not all families applying for homemaker assistance need agency trained and supervised homemak ers—even as all patients do not need nurses. Also, the selective use of homemakers becomes #jn. increasing necessity as the community makes more and more use of the service and the need cannot be covered. There should be provision, - of course, for the genuine, emergencies such as unexpected surgery and ill ness of the mother which can cause the children considerable anxiety. “A well qualified homemaker is a warm, dependable, and maternal woman who had a happy experience in rearing her own family An intel ligent interest in children and a preference for homemaker staff af Seose To Receive, Army Commission At Clemson Friday Thomas M.
