County Welfare Cases
Reduced In Five Years
The welfare case load in Lau
rens County has been cut in half
during the last five years, ac
cording to Mrs. L. H. David
son, director of the Laurens
County Welfare Dept.
Addressing the Clinton Rotary
Club, she said, ‘People prefer to
be self-supporting and we try to
help them become self-support
ing. As a result, our case load
has been cut in l»alf in the last
five years.*
She said that about 850 checks
go out to recipients each month,
representing aid to about 1,000
people, since some of the checks
are for couples.
She also pointed out that her
. ffice assisted over 10,000 people
during the 1967-68 fiscal year,
although not necessarily with fl-
She said that the Welfare De
partment assists tiie elderly, dis
abled, blind, persons with marital
problems, children, unmarried
mothers and many others.
Mrs. Davidson said, “Oftenour
assistance involves only counsel
ing. For example, we may coun
sel some retired person on how
best to handle his or her re
tirement income. Our home
maker unit may teach a young
mother how to cook, how to plan
low-cost nourishing meals. We
are one of four counties in the
state involved in a pilot nutri

to teaph good nutrition.’
Summing up, she said, “Many

Tips from a Pro

ONW TRUO DRIVER
DRIVE IN
ONE LANE
How to Drive on Expressways
Twelve tips for safe driving on the expressway are recom
mended by the safety and industrial hygiene section of the
American Oil Company.
They recommend :
"Plan your trip. Make sure your car. tires, lights, windshield
wipers and brakes are in good condition.
"Never stop on pavement. Don’t tailgate. Use seat belts. Vary
your speed. Signal your intentions to the driver behind. Never
cross lanes abruptly. When passing, start from a distance well
behind the car in front of you so you have a clear view of the
road ahead Look behind you, check your rear-view mirror
frequently. Don’t drive when drowsy. Sensible speed is the
key to safe expressway driving. When back in non-expressway
traffic, slow down ; watch out for pedestrians, traffic lights, and
side-street traffic."
