Daily Bible Reading

Assn.
TEXT: MATTHEW :l-15
Chapters 4. 6 ind 7 of Matthew
are commonly called "The Beati
tudes," and are i part of our
Lord's first sermon on the Mount,
i They actually reveil the principles
of the kingdom.
Jesus herein is setting up spirit
ual ictivities and exercises for
those who would develop in the
wonderful realm of the spiritual.
Chapter 8 not only describes these
spiritual exercises, but also pre
sents the manner in which we ire
lo participate in them. The exer
cises described ire ilms giving,
prayer, and fasting. Certainly the
practice of these is of good advan
tage for all who would enter inlo
the kingdom the spiritual realm.
However, to gain the best re
sults, we are admonished by the
I.ord to exercise in pnvati or
secrecy.
Our alms-giving is to be I per
sonil sicnfice unseen by men.
Our priyer ministry is to be in
the quiet of our closet, unheird by
men. Our fisting n to be with I
glad rountanance unnoticed bv
men. Why this procedure? There
I is only one answer. These spiritual
exercises involve a relationship
with our l ord, and as the lover of
our soul. He desires to share these
! and no one else.
I Undoubtedly the most outstand
ing spiritual exercise in Chapter 6
is that of prayer. The Word of God
gives exceeding great and precious
promises to those who will exer
cise therein. This passage con
tains the lord's Praver It is to us
a pattern for praver. It is not to
be our only praver. It is. as it
were, giving to ui the proper at
tude. procedure, spirit, position,
ind practice when we pray. It is
an assured pittern for true inter
cession. It is thus we develop in
proper proportion in our spiritual
life.

Child Guidance Clinic Review Is RecemMi-ended
To The Editor After having
read your editorial in the Novem
ber 28 issue of The News-Review,
I have come to the conclusion that
you have undoubtedly received er
roneous information as lo the pur
pose of the Childhood Guidance
Clinic. The philosophy underlying
its use and operation, is to identi
fy and provide treatment meas
ures for extreme cases of emotion
al disturbed and maladjusted chil
dren. These children are needy in
ihe sense that they need help now
if they are to lead normal, adult
lives. They are needy because now
there is no place in the county
where they can be taken for help
for a complete program if treat
ment. Children have been referred
to our late clinic from families of
varying economic status ranging
from well-to-do. to the poor. Such
an operation cannot properly be
classified as socialistic unless it
competes with private enterprise.
To my knowledge, we have no one
in the county who is engaged in
private practice in the fields of
psychiatry, psychology, or psvehi
alric social work. The Child Guid
ance Clinic for Douglas County
was not set up for the use of the
indigent. It was set up for the use
of all children who are extreme
cases since there is no treatment
available in the county elsewhere
for such children. j
A finding of psychological re
search is that basic personality
traits and the mechanisms by
which individuals cope with their
maladjustments are formed during
I heir first lew years of lile. Thus
our Child Guidance Clinic reached
children at an age when diagnosis
and trealment could be of greatest
effect. At this point. I would indi
cate to you that our schools are
not prepared to cope with extreme
cases of maladjustment. They are
an integral part of the treaiment
as outlined by the clinic. Certain
ly our society spends huge stuns
to incarcerate maladjusted adults
who have been unable to cope with
their environment in a free so
ciety. Probably few of these in
dividuals had any effective help
based upon scientific understand-
ing and treatment when they were
children. The child of today is a
man of tomorrow. In terms of
broken lives, in the cost to society
Child Guidance Clinic 1
Purpose Is Explained
To The Editor: With increasing
reports of delinquency and mental
disturbances in children, a pro
gressive community must do its ut
most to meet the ilua:ion. Doug
las County is indeed fortunate in
having trained ind able personnel
available and willing to serve on
the Child Guidance Clinic. There
is definite need for such a clinic
here, and to halt its activities aft
er its establishment and successful
operation for one year is difficult
lo understand.
I am glad to find tliat lha county
court did, in fad, have a reason
for this action. In the light of re
cent election resul'j which show
the defeat of measures leading to
higher taxes, it was perhaps logic
al to the court to cut an item
which would involve growing costs
to Douglas County. But it seems
to me that a little more Considera-.
tion on the part of the county court
members would hive revealed in
important factor. Some of these
children who an helped by the
clinic an very likely the ones who
would eventually necessitate our
support (at much greater cost) in
correctional or mental institutions.
How much better to try to prevent
such results with a clinic operating
at a cost still verv low for the
help it gives. It is still my strong
feeling that the members of the
county court would be icting in
the best interests of the people
who elected them hy reconsider
ing their decision and allowing the
clinic to renew its viluable work.

Asst U S Atty. John S Oben
our asked Burke if he had ever
been advised thit Beck owed
money to my Teamsters group.
' Not to my recollection," Burke
said.
' In making subsequent loans."
Obenour continued, "was any ref
erence ever made to anv Labili
ties to the Teamsters Union'"
"Not to my recollection," Burke
answered.
The defense has contended that
thl inr reave in Beck's net worth
over the 19.W-53 period for whir
to keep many of the maladjusted
it public expense, many in vari
ous institutions, the cost of I local
Child Guidance Clinic is not ex
cessive and is good insurance for
the future. It is not i cure-ill. but
is in effective vehicle for helping
to prevent juvenile delinquency.
The financial aid to the county
from federal and state govern
ments is in the form of a stimu
lative grant. A grant of this kind
provides most of the money for
operation during the first few
years of operation. However, each
year the state and federal funds
are gradually with-drawn so as to
allow the local governmental unit
an increasing opportunity to make
budget prov isions. Most of us who
favor keeping the government
close to the people, believi in lh
principles of stimulative grants.
Such grants get a program slirted
to help solve i problem, but gives
increasing responsibility to the lo
cal level for maintenance ind op
eration. Eor move information on Child
Guidance Clinics, I would refer
you to Dr. Mary Soules, Douglas
County Health Officer.
I hope that this letter will be
the h;isis for clarifying to you the
work c-f the Child Guidance Clinic
as it was operated in Douglas
County.

E I c 2 r Resident Gives
Advice To Young Folks
To The Editor I am an old
man and I have learned a few
things that I want to pass on. Per
haps they will benefit other peo
ple. I read what i man wrote after
he had been drowned then brought
to. He said there was no pain,
that it was pleasant. I, too, have
been drowned. I was scared. I
thought of a lot of mean things
I had done However, there was
no pain until I was being brought
to. Then the pain was terrible. It
felt as if my lunc.s were being
torn to pieces as the. hot water
ran from my mouth.
When I stacked hay in Klamath
County many years ago, a lot of
hay went into stacks and barns.
Some barns were burned. Many
people thought it was ihe work of
enemies. The truth was that it was
because of their own carelessness.
When they went to dinner, they
left their water jugs, which they
had placed in the shade while
working. The sun moved around
and shone on the lug while they
were gone. That stalled the fire.
Most of them used wine jugs. The
hot sun shining on i glass jug for
a few minutes will siart a fire.
1 had learned that fact. I always
took my jug with me.
I also learned that a cougar
would not jump nn a person who
kept a match li i dark night.
A cougar followed close to me
for a half mile one dark night.
Thank goodness. I had a lot of
parlor matches. The cougar leap
ed on the tent pole as I went in
the tent. He dashed avvav as I
came out with i lighted limp ind
my cocked carbine, which I could
use with one hand.
My four-year-old daughter felt in
the irrigation ditch and was wash
ed under a bridge where she
caught i stringer with one hand
The water was up to the top of
the stringer. Her six-year-old sis
ter, after watching a while, went
back to the house and told her
mother. Our daughter was under
water all of five minu'es. My wife
brought her to hy holding lier hy
the feet, head down, and shaking
her up and down to force the wa
ter from her lunc.s.
She is grown now, but still re
members how she suffered when
the water left her lungs, ilthough
she says there was no pain while
being drowned.
If this is published it may save
lives ind property.
