Mrs. Esther Kelly Watson,
Supervisor
Children’s Department
Multnomah County Relief Committee

Portland, Oregon
My Dear Mrs. Watson:
I have recently discussed the matter of
Irvin Wineland’s care with Mrs. Archie Wineland and she has indicated that it
would not be possible for them to take the child in their home without
financial aid and they would like to know what assistance they would receive
and from whomit would be received, should it be decided to bring the boy to
Wallowa. As had been explained in previous letters, Mr. and Mrs. Wineland and
small daughter have been self-supporting since their arrival in Oregon from
Kansas but they have had great difficulty in remaining independent and it would
be impossible for them to take another member into the family without adequate
financial aid.
It is the understanding of this office
that in June the Dependent Children’s Program becomes effective. However, it is
not known what the procedure will be regarding children o are non-resident in
the County. Will Multnomah County care for Irvin Wineland in Wallowa County?
Mr. and Mrs. Winlenad would like to know what amount they would receive monthly
if they did take the child. I feel sure that if financial arrangements can be
made that no better care could be obtained for the boy. Has Johanna Wineland
reported the whereabouts of her parents?
Yours very truly
WALLOWA COUNTY RELIEF COMMITTEE
By (Miss) Floris Sorensen, Exec. Secy.
