Child Welfare Levy Will Be On November Ballot
Editor's nolo: According to Mr. Murray Daninhirsch, directpr of the Columbus Jewish Family Ser¬ vice, members of the local Jewish community will be affected by the success or defeat of the Child Wel¬ fare Levy at the polls In Novem¬ ber. At almost any given time there .Is at least a dozen Jewish families helped by the Child Wel¬ fare Board.
flr^ family tragedy leaves three young children homeless.
An elderly woman, who provided a home for her six-year-old grand¬ daughter,  suffers  a stroke.
Three youngsters are neglected during a family crisis.
A father falls ill and is unable to provide proper care for his seven children.
ALL OF THESE incidents have two things in common. They in¬ volve children and a need for the services ot the Franklin County Child Welfare Board. In each case, the Board has a responsibility to provide care or other aid for young¬ sters who face problems over which they have no control.
The Franklin County Child Wel¬ fare program is distinct from all other welfare programs. It is con¬ cerned solely with services tor chil¬ dren. During 1962, the Child Wel¬ fare program provided services for over 4000 cWldren, ranging from care at Franklin Village, the coun¬ ty's cildren's home, to placement in foster homes.
THE CHILD WELFARE program is a county responsibility, depen¬ dent on local financing. There are no   contributions   from   the  State.
The purpose ot the program is to protect and care for any child who ' is in danger of or is experiencing physical or emotional damage through neglect. The aim is to pro¬ vide normal, happy lives for ciiil¬ dren who, through no fault of their own, must turn to the community for aid.
The services provided by the Child Welfare program include, or have included: the protection of children from neglect; care, place¬ ment and supervision ot dependent or neglected children; supervision and service for children in their own homes, in order to fireserve these homes; adoption service and the recruitment, certification and supervision ot foster homes; opera¬ tion of Franklin Village; operation of the Receiving Center at Frank¬ lin Village, providing emergency shelter and interim care on a tem¬ porary basis; operation of a medi¬ cal program for children under care; and services to crippled and handicapped children.
EACH OF THESE services rep¬ resents a vital part ot the Child Welfare program. But, since 1962, financial problems and staff re¬ ductions have forced a steady cur¬ tailment in services. This has come at a time when demands on the Child Welfare program have stead¬ ily mounted.
In 1954, the program served 1314 children; in 1960 that figure had climbed to 3334; and today it stands at over 4300. In 1962, there was a 100 per cent increase in the num¬ ber of children coming to the Child Welfare Board for care on orders of the Juvenile Court and the per- (contlnuad  on  paga  4)
