Arizona welfare costs rise with ADC program growth
The Arizona State Welfare Department reports $23 million spent on Aid to Dependent Children this year. Commissioner John C. Graham cites 59,000 recipients in about 14,700 families, a rise of 11,400 in one year due to Supreme Court decisions expanding eligibility. Director John Sustek says the 1971-72 budget plans for 65,800 recipients, about 6,800 more, with the average ADC family of a mother and three children receiving $129.40 monthly plus surplus food. Nearly half of ADC families are in Maricopa County.

State welfare plan seeks full funding for ADC
A welfare report notes 22 percent of Arizona reservations and urges the legislature to pay ADC families at 100 percent of need rather than 65 percent. Sustek says a budget raise to 38 million dollars for the next fiscal year would lift the state’s share in the matching state federal program from 6 million to 19 million.

State cites ADC funding needs amid rising welfare costs
Sustek notes the state funds most of ADC grants with only partial federal support and warns the department must boost its budget. Graham reports a 27 percent rise in Arizona welfare recipients, driven by court rulings and activism, with mothers receiving daycare and job training, while officials push for productive citizenship.

Teens Drive Shift in Driver Education Standards
A national survey of 2,355 driving instructors across 1,600 high schools finds teens increasingly behind the wheel. Boys lead in interest and basic skills, while girls show high confidence and strong learning focus. Up to 60 percent of students with formal instruction have fewer violations, and 30 percent fewer accidents, though 8 to 25 percent still fail courses. Officials urge stricter enforcement, higher fines, and tougher license suspensions to improve teen driving safety.
