Memphis World Memphis World Publishing Co. 1952-10-28 James H. Purdy, Jr. Tennessee Children aided by pub- By Public assistance Tennessee children aide by public assistance were included in a nation-wide study "Future Citizens All," released this week by the American Public Welfare Association. The two-year study of nearly 19,000 children in 6,500 families receiving aid to dependent children (ADC) was made to find answers to some of the questions which the public has been asking about this tax-supported program: From what kind of families did these children come? Why did they need help? Was the program adequate. Did it keep children with their parents and strengthen family life, or was it just a relief measure that encouraged dependency and neglect? The Tennessee Department of Public Welfare furnished information for the national study from actual case records of families receiving assistance. A special study of Tennessee data was made by a group of students at the University of Tennessee School of Social Work as a graduate thesis project. Children helped by ADC are those deprived of adequate parental support or care because of the death, continued absence from the home, or physical or mental incapacity of one or both parents. They must be living with a parent or relative. The aim is to keep the family together by tiding them over some crisis period, thus giving the children a better chance in life by growth in a normal home situation. Economic problems and accompanying hardships were found to be the main handicaps or ADC families, in spite of this, the report states, in 91 per cent of the families studied, ADC enabled children to remain with their mothers in their own home. The need for assistance was usually caused by a crisis rather than by long-term poverty. In 64 per cent of the cases the application for aid came within less than a year after the crisis occurred and the average length of time an ADC family receives assistance in Tennessee is two years. Incapacity of one parent, usually the father was found to be the most frequent reason for the family's being in need. In Tennessee physical or mental incapacity of a parent caused the crisis in almost half the families studied. Absence of a parent by reason of desertion or divorce without adequate support accounted for only one out of every five ADC cases. Death of a parent was responsible for one out of seven cases. Death of the father has been the cause of crisis for fewer and fewer cases, comparative figures used in the national study show, as pen sion plans, including. Old Age and Survivors Insurance, have taken are of many families that might Otherwise have been dependent on ADC after death of the breadwin ner. This was especially true in in dustrial centers, as farm workers and the self-employed were not covered by OASI until last year. This lack of coverage of rural workers by OASI was probably the reason why Tennessee's ADC families were predominantly rural. While only 34 per cent of the families in the nation-wide study lived in rural areas or small towns, 65 percent of Tennessee families lived in communities with a population under 2,500. By contrast, Cen sus Bureau figures show that only 55 per cent of the general population in Tennessee in 1950 lived in communities of this size. The usual occupation of more than one-third of the fathers in Tennessee ADC families was listed as farm owner, manager, renter, sharecropper or farm laborer About one-fifth of them were unskilled laborers. The total income of Tennessee families receiving aid was lower than the national average income. For the country as a whole, the average monthly income from all sources including the ADC grant was found to be approximately $30 per person just before the grant was cut off. On this basis a mother with two children had to man age on $90 per month. In Tennessee the figure was only $20 per person or $60 for a family of three. Families whose only income were an ADC grant had still less Tennessee law sets the maximum grant for one child at $24, with $15 allowed for each additional child in the same household. This gave a mother with two children only $39, as there was nothing added for the mother. One-fourth of the families in the national study were still in need when ADC was discontinued but they no longer met the technical eligibility requirements. In Tennessee almost half the families were still in need when their cases were closed, although no longer meeting eligibility requirements for ADC. In almost one-fourth of these families the parent was no longer medically incapacitated but was not earning enough to support the family. Other cases were closed because of a change in agency policy at the time of the study making a family ineligible for assistance if either parent had a full-time job, even though the job did not provide enough income to meet the family's needs. The national study showed that 20 percent of the families had become independent due to support from a return parent of an incapacitated parent returned to employment or remarriage of the mother. The Tennessee figure was approximately 18 per cent. An additional 15 per cent no longer need ed help because of employment or higher wages received by a parent usually the mother. The average length of time Ten nessee families continued to receive ADC grants was two years. (The study excluded families that had received aid less than six months. Twenty per cent received aid less than a year and 75 per cent for less than four years. Ten nessee ADC families do no remain on the rolls for years until the children all pass the maximum age limit, as only 11 per cent of Tennessee families continued to receive assistance until the youngest child reached the age limit. The grant was stopped in about 8 per cent of the cases because the young est child was 16 or 17 years old but not attending school, and in 3 percent because the youngest child reached 18. The average age of the children at the time aid was discontinued was 10 years. These figures make it clear that ADC has generally not created an attitude of continuing dependency among these families by keeping them on program for a long time, and that Tennessee ADC families in general work their way off assistance rolls when a crisis period has been overcome.

His pipe was out. He did not relight it. "We had to let her go," Eleanor finished. "I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, Perhaps I should have taken Eve to a psychiatrist. I don't know. Consultants on child behavior weren't as numerous or as commonplace as they are now. Eve was angry when she Knew she wasn't going to live with us any longer. She threatened to get even. I haven't forgotten her face when she said that. . . Jeremy, why has she come to Thurstonia?" "For Pete's sake, don't let's get dramatic over this, Mother. You've dwelt on it till it's grown out of all proportion." "Have I?" "Revenge " He rolled the word around and made it vastly amusing. "Really, Mother! The word wears a leer and a villain's handlebar mustache!" Jeremy's tone did make her concern a little ridiculous. "Can you honestly look at Eve and suspect her of Ulterior Motives?" He made that laughable, too. "All right," he granted. "She was a naughty and rebellious child. What child isn't? Wasn't I? And Nance?" She did not smile. "Naughtiness and rebellion I could have handied," she said slowly. "But not downright deceit, Jeremy." He took to pacing the floor. Eleanor said, "She used a trick to get you to the Belvedere, that first evening." He spun to her. "That was a joke. Rather clever and amusing. Nance thought so, too." "Then you can draw a line between the little white lies and— the others?" Doesn't everyone?" Eleanor shook her head helplessly. He frowned "Where did she go, after you sent her away?" "To the Children's Aid. After that, I don't know. I've never known. I never saw her again until this evening." He halted by her chair. "It's hardly fair to hold the past against her, is it? A sword over her head?" "Not," Eleanor conceded in fairness, "if she has changed, Jeremy. I'm afraid she hasn't." "Let's give her a chance, shall we?" She hesitated. If she said no, Jeremy would think her unjust. Was she? Perhaps she had let this thing grow out of control. All she had to go on really, was what she knew of the child Eve. The rest was conjecture. Or instinct? Still, in fairness, she would wait. "Very well," she agreed reluctantly. "Does Nance know about this Mother?" "No." "I'd rather not tell her just yet —if you don't mind." "Jeremy," Eleanor said gravely, "don't hurt Nance. I rather think you know what I mean." Their eyes met. Jeremy looked away first. A dull red touched his cheekbones. "I know what you mean." he said gruffly. It wasn't until much later that Eleanor realized Jeremy hadn't actually given her his word riot to hurt Nance. Unexpectedly, Nance announced, on the morning after Eve's housewarming, "Mother, I'm going to New York." Sam had left for the plant, Jeremy for the hospital, and the two were dawdling over coffee. All week Eleanor had been hurtingly aware of Nance's excessive quietness, of the gravity clouding her eyes and the growing perplexity. She echoed helplessly, "New York? Why?" "Rolph telephoned last evening. Some of the illustrations for have to be done over. It will be a rush job. Rolph suggested he'd like me at his elbow." "Rolph did?" "All right, I suggested it," Nance said. Eleanor said flatly, "You can't go. The wedding is less than two weeks off." "I haven't forgotten." Nance took her coffee to the window and stood looking out "Lately, Jeremy has." "Nance, you don't believe that" Dismayingly, she heard her own fears in her voice. Nance turned. "You half believe it, too, don't you?" "No, I don't," Eleanor said, and added paradoxically, "Anyway, I don't think you should run away." "I'm not running away." "Does Jeremy know?" "Yes." "And he is letting you go?" "He didn't try to stop me." "It's Eye." Eleanor folded her napkin into a square, a triangle. "Isn't it?" Nance said nothing. Her eyes were bleak. "I won't have it," Eleanor said firmly. "I won't have her come between you." "Darling, she hasn't, yet. And how could you stop her?" "I'd find a way." "Dear mother hen, all ruffled." Nance smiled. She added soberly, "Anyway, isn't it better now, than later?" "How can you take it so calmly?" "I'm not Only what good will it do to yell like a virago? I've got to work it out my own way. And getting myself out from under Jeremy's toes seems to be the way. He's confused, too. Dear, don't take it no hard! I'll only be gone a week. I'll be back in time for the wedding." If there is a wedding, her eyes said. Eleanor sighed. "You'll go to Kit, won't you?" "I've already telephoned her. I'm taking the morning train tomorrow." She set her cup on the table. "Now stop stewing and help me pack."
