The resutts. were that establishment of an orphans' borne was "not praclkal" a this time. The'will was drawn up in 1909. Mr.

Jusius died -January' 2S, 1820. His wife, Edith, died September 1, 1831., It is stated the petition lhal the Seneca Bank, as petitioner, "be- iitves that trends and extraordinary changes -that have occurred 1MT date.hive rendered impractical the type for by the testator and Institutionalized care at the place and of the type suggested is BO longer suited to the of orpfaaned and disadvantaged chiWren."

Advances in standards of living' and improvements in extraord- declines in orphanhood, decrease in mortality rates and reduction in poverty have practically eliminated the necessity for institutionalized care by rearon of death, fllness or poverty of parents. 2. Oid Age; Sdrvivors and Disability Insurance, Aid To Families' with Dependent Children, adoption, foster family care and child welfare services have provided the benefits for those wlio mi.ght otherwise be in need of the type of institutional care that would be pro-, vided by an 3.

The number of orphans has been greatly reduced in Ihe years since 1909 and it is unlikely that Venan'o County would offer any applicants for an orphans' home under the provisions stipulated by the will. 4. of the institution as a method of child care is disfavored by those professionally qualified in child psychology and child welfare. The petition siated that under provisions of existing law Venango County will establish a Department of Welfare by 1968. This department will include a "County leadership for pUaaiaf aad coordautinf public and private resources 'for child welfare The (the bank)': child welfare seryjiet proirarh; when etUbttsheO, will provide the framework for supplyiij the type of assistance and service coasidered by the Coamon- wealth lo be most beneficial meeting the needs of orphaned aad disadvantaged -children and application of in the 1 Jusius'Trust to'an home at'this lime is not feasible-and should be withheld from such purpose'un- til Ihe practical need for such a home has been evidenced and Ihe results of a working County Child Welfare Unit have been properly evaluated.

Such trainees would be ex- peeled to return to Venango County to work after their training. Any application for funds, the petition stated, should contain a clear, concise statement of purpose, method, personnel required, budget necessary and procedure for evaluating effectiveness of the service.

Such allocalions should be regarded as funds not otherwise available and may, in fact, be planned as incentive money to attract' majchrarfands. THE PETTTHW asks the Court Is decree thai such a procedure as outlined above, legally and equitably; fulfills the. intent of Mr. Justus; and, that the Court?

Samuel whose, millions arc now in safe keeping at the First Seneca Bank and Trust Company pending the carrying out of the provisions of his to aid orphan's of Ve- nanso County, accrued his wealth as an oil producer.

In the frst papal visit to Turkey in 12 centuries, the slender Pope, 9, and the tall, white- bearded patriarch, 81, met in a tree-shaded court to the symbolic kiss of brotherhood and good will. They had met before in Jerusalem on the Pope's Holy Land visit in January 1964.

The Pope undertook the trip fifth journey in his four-year reign to reiterate his desire for church unity and peace in ie world and to commemorate Ecumenical Council of Ephcsus, site of the house of the Virgin Mary.

The board like the Communist-registration statutes it deals with is a product of the outcry over communism in the late 1940s and early '50s.

Upon request by the attorney general, it's supposed to'deter- mine, after hearings, what individuals and organizations arc Communist. Those labeled then are required to register with the attorney Nobody ever has registered, although the toard has stamped "Communist" on 44 individuals and two dozen groups.
