Mother and children forced from Ohio after relief denial
In Cleveland a Negro mother and her eight dependents aged 11 days to 17 years were sent by train to Livingston Alabama under Juvenile Court order. The judge said exile was needed to ensure the children would be fed as Ohio relief only covers year residents. Mrs Winston, 40, sought to stay but had no job and the family had no food. Relief is available in Sumter County Alabama. Mrs Winston came to Cleveland four years ago to escape Alabama poverty and took the children there last October seeking a better life.
