were re quested yesterday by Mrs. Ruth Baker, child welfare worker of the, Elizabeth City county department of Public welfare, to call the department. A This little boy, whom the department designated only as "Bobby" to protect his real idenity, is badly in need of a home. His parents are separated, and it is not known where his father is. His mother works at night in her attempt to support both herself and her son, and there are no relatives who can help take care of Bobby, Mrs.

Baker explained. All things being considered, it seems best to the department for a boarding home to be found for the little boy, so as to give him the care and protection he needs at his age. The department of public welfare will be responsible for Bobby's board payments and will also provide clothing and medical care needed, Mrs. Baker said. "People who offer good homes for children are of great assistance to the.

welfare department in one of the most Important phases of our work," Mrs. Baker said. "By offering homes for children when they are needed, they often prevent serious behavior difficulties. It is our experience that children are often kept out of trouble by going to live with couples who are fond of chil dren, and who are able to give them care and guidance." Those persons who wish to help in this way are asked to write Mrs, Ruth Baker at the county welfare department, courthouse, Hampton or they may call Hampton 3091 be tween 9 and 12 a. and between 1 and 4 p.
