Student Status Is Not Considered In Qualifying for Welfare Benefits
By DAGMAR R. PADEN
Student status is not a factor in eligibility for social welfare programs here, John Derrick, Director of Douglas County Department of Social and Rehabilitative Services, says. However, it is difficult for students to qualify for these programs.
There are four programs that young people might be interested in, according to Derrick. These are Aid to Dependent Children, Medicaid and General Assistance.
Aid to Dependent Children is a federally funded program most commonly used to aid single parent homes. If the youngest child in the home is 6 years old or older, the must register with the state employment office and must take any job offered.
ALTHOUGH THE state employment office will approve a period of training, it is not possible to complete this.
Qualifications for this program are based on complex formulas involving income and
FOOD STAMPS are another federally funded program. In May, 1973, 100 of the 450 persons in Douglas County eligible for food stamps were students, according to
year, Derrick said. Only if the youngest child is of pre-school age can the parent fail to register with the state employment office.
A parent with one child receives $175 a month; a parent with 2 children receives $221 a month. With additional children, the amount increases proportionately.
An individual is eligible for food stamps if his income is not over $178 a month and if he has no financial resources and cooking facilities.
Although the food stamp program is federally funded, the county determines an eligibility criteria.
Merchants Move Outside For Annual Bazaar
By LAUREL DEFOE
An annual sidewalk bazaar may bring to mind images of streets crowded with hopeful bargain hunters and drippy ice melt in the melting under a sweltering sunny sky.
In addition to the individual merchants booths, the Massachusetts St. bazaar will feature 20 extra booths sponsored by various service organizations in the city.
Fotted plants and crafts will be sold at
Lotten School's booth and crocheted items at
the Mason's Market.
According to Paul Gray, chairman of the Downtown Lawrence Association, special attractions will continue throughout the day, including a dixieland band sponsored by Jenkins Music and a theater group sponsored by the Lawrence Park Service.
To Lawrence merchants it means going to the trouble of moving their merchandise outdoor and cutting merchandise costs to sales prices for eager customers.
Civic clubs such as the VFW Auxiliary, Concerned Black Parents and Headstart are among the 20 organizations that will sell goodies ranging from hot dogs and soft drinks to homemade ice cream, cotton candy and snow cones.
Sunflower Cable-television has planned a demonstration and radio station KLWN's Valley Kayahuna will make an appearance, ask for donations to the United Fund.
The citywide bazaar will be scheduled for 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, will be sponsored by Lawrence downtown merchants and shopping centers will take part as well as Lawrence downtown merchants. The general format for merchants to follow is to buy from one or more of the shops, outside their stores on the sidewalk.
Gray said that this year's bazaar format has changed from last year's when Massachusetts St. was under construction. Last year, he said, the booths were moved to the back of the stores where most of the stores have parking lots. In spite of the

THOSE ELIGIBLE for food stamps are also frequently eligible for medicaid, Derrick said. Medicaid is a county-funded program. Those deemed eligible get a card which enables them to get free medical service.
The food stamp program involves distributing $38 worth of food stamps a month. The person receiving this monthly allotment may be charged anywhere from nothing to $28 for the food stamps. The food stamp depends upon the individual case.

Gray said the primary reason the bazaars were held was to give the customer an opportunity to find bargains at reduced sale prices.
General Assistance is a county and state-
tanded program. It is a "catch-all" com-
pany that serves the public.
According to Derrick, "quite a few" students are on medicaid.

no exception.
Into this program come the able-bodied temporarily unemployed. A state law effective July 1, 1972, decreed that all those employed in state projects also do work on county, project in return.
A single person receives $105 a month in benefits. For work on county projects, he receives a minimum wage, which is now $1.60 an hour.
Eligibility is determined on income and resources.

A report on correctional services and jail facilities submitted to the Douglas County Commission encourages the commission to proceed with plans to replace the present jail facility and to develop service programs for confined persons.
The report was prepared by the Douglas County Committee on Correctional Services (CCS).

Report Says Jail Needs Reformation
FOREST SWALL, lecturer in the department of social welfare and chairman of the Correctional Services Committee, says his committee will probably make an official presentation of the report to the county commission this week.
Previously, the pills were dispensed
County Clinic to Distribute Pill Only After a Complete Physical
The report also calls for the creation of a position of a Director of Corrections and the establishment of a County Corrections and Law Enforcement Council.
The report recommends that the new jail facility be designed to accommodate 50 to 60 inmates per day.
Based on their experiences, local law enforcement officials projected a need of 75 spaces by 1990. The report states that law enforcement officers "point to the growing population of the county, the additional problems that may be imposed with the development of Clinton Reservoir and the construction of the social unrest which may require the temporary confinement of large numbers of persons."
However, the committee members agreed that 55-60 individual spaces would be sufficient if some of the rooms were constructed so that they could be converted to double occupancy whenever extra space would be needed.
THE REPORT stresses the necessity of individual room arrangements to provide privacy. In addition to the individual rooms, specialized "program areas" should also be provided to permit interaction among the "clients."

without a physical examination including a pelvic-pac examination. Kent said. The reason for the change, she said, was that the patient had undergone and for reception of family planning funds.
PILls will also not be dispensed to women with prescriptions from private physicians unless they have a physical at the health department.
Kent said she would "encourage students to use Watkins" for birth control pills, but they were welcome to utilize the health department.
"We will continue seeing patients already in our file. However, they should be scheduled for a complete examination a few days later, pelvic-pap examination." Kent said.
Ginny Levene, health department physician, will be inserting IUD's and fitting diaphragms. Patients will be given prescriptions for diaphragms to be purchased at pharmacies. Levene operates by appointment from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday. From July 23 she will alter her schedule to exclude Tuesdays instead.
Starting July 16, the fee for a month's supply of pills was increased from $1 to $1.25 for county residents and $1.50 for others, Kent said. There will continue to be a $2 charge for pap smears and pregnancy tests to cover lab costs.
The fee is not obligatory, Kent said, and charges would be altered according to a person's ability to pay. It is probably most accurate to call the charge a "family planning fee" since the revenue is expected to cover all costs besides staff time for handling the birth control program, she said.
A federal birth control grant request was denied this year by the state, which funded only programs previously funded with a federal grant.
"It has to be a self-supporting program, other than for staff." Kent said.
An extra charge for out of county patients is insisted because they do not pay county taxes.
