tion should be permanently disabled on answering our fire alarm, the financial responsibility
would be upon the Firemen's Relief Association. They would appreciate immediate con -
sideration.

ships where the buildings are located (South Strabane and Chartiers Townships); I think this
matter should be looked into.
Mr. Flynn: I think the Solicitor should look into the matter.

Letter under date of June 28, 1968, from Louise Abel, Executive Director
of Washington County Child Welfare Services, contained a recommendation that the home of
George and 011a Windsheimer, Midway, Pennsylvania, be considered as an emergency home
to accept any child, regardless of age, color or creed at any hour of the day or night; the
home is a large, old-fashined home, with a well lived-in look, a large yard for play area
and situated on six acres. All modern conveniences are available. It is possible for them to
sleep eight (8) children in their home. Note was made that the Windsheimers have been
foster parents with the agency since October 1954, during this time they have had 45 foster
children. They are willing to keep their home available for emergency care for the sum of
$125. 00 a month (whether children are in the home or not) and in addition to pay our regular
board payment when a child is placed in the home. The children would remain in the home
for thirty days or slightly longer until some permanent plan can be made. Miss Abel also
made note that for the past two years their budktet account 322-2-11 has provided $3, 000 a
year for two emergency homes. Up until now, they have not been successful in locating
these homes; they have had difficulty in locating a home, even though the need has existed
and some other arrangements, while not the best, had to be used.
Mr. Flynn: I suggest that we enter into an agreement with the Windsheimers.
Mr. Bevec: We do have many emergency cases where we must place children.
Moved by Mr. Bevec, seconded by Mr. Flynn, that the Washington County
Commissioners enter into an agreeme nt with George and 011a Windsheimer, 400 Massey
Road, Midway, Pennsylvania, for the purpose of using their home as an Emergency Home
for the placement of foster children for the period of thirty (30) days or slightly longer until
such time as a permanent plan can be made; they will be paid the sum of $125. 00 per month
(whether children are in the home or not) in addition to regular board payment when a child
is placed in the home. The County Solicitor is hereby authorized to prepare said agreement.
Roll call vote taken:
Mr. Bevec - Yes; Mr. Flynn - Yes.
Motion carried unanimously.
Reference was also made in the same letter from Miss Abel, to a visit
on June 20, 1968, made by Miss Caroline T. Mudd, Director of Field Instruction, Division
of Social Work, West Virginia University, Morgantown, West Virginia, to the agency, at
which time Miss Mudd was interested in knowing if the Agency is willing to offer field in -
struction to students in the Graduate School of Social Work in the academic year 1968 - 1969.

This would mean that two (2) second year students from the University would be placed in
the Agency from September 1968 through February 1969. They would adhere to all regu-
lations set-up by the Agency. They would be giv(tn a limited number of cases, using what
they have learned in their first year of Graduate School to try to help the client solve their
problems. Most of the students are on stipends or scholarships and no salaries would be
involved; however, because of the nature of the job assignment, the students would need to
be in contact with the clients outside of the office, necessitating the payment of mileage to
them. This should be the only expense and should be a limited amount.
Mr. Bevec: This is a federal program where they provide such funds to the college.
Moved by Mr. Bevec, seconded by Mr. Flynn, that the Washington County
Child Welfare Services participate in the field instruction program to two (2) second year
students in the Graduate School of Social Work, West Virginia University, in the academic
year 1968 -1969 (September 1968 through February 1969).
