L. Os- Melrose Church Camp Program , Said Successful The last of three groups of young persons from the Melrose Com munity Church have returned to their homes following a stay at tne f ir roint uump near Ulendale. According to the Rev. Glenn Davis, church pastor, the total of 47 is the largest group from the church ever to attend the camp. This year marks the first time also that the church has sent its youth to camp in three separate age brackets, with senior and jun ior high students -split up accord ing to age. The experiment has proved highly successful, Davis re ported. On the camp staff from the Mel rose church were the Rev. Mr. Davis who served as teacher and counselor; Mrs. Elsie Isakson, camp cook, with Mrs. Dean Gaus nell assisting her the second week of the three-week session; Mrs. Mary Sanders, camp treasurer; Mrs. Hazel Krohn, transportation chairman; and Mrs. Carol Arens mcier, promotional chairman. Mrs Barbara Nay, newcomer to the community recently, also assisted with cooking for part of the ses sions. Camp director was Glenn God dard, who for many years has been the American Sunday School Union missionary in the Roseburg area. The Rev. Richard Denham, for merly of Glide and now a mission ary on furlough from Brazil, was the missionary speaker. He was accompanied by his two daugh ters, Mary Ann and Delza, foster children of the Denhams and both from Brazil. Dwight Kinman, a chaplain at the University of Ore gon Medical chool in Portland, was the camp evangelist. According to Davis, this year's camp was considered highly suc cessful from many angles. Melrose church members assisted with fi nancial aid to young people who otherwise could not have attended and many youths earned all or part of their camp fees. 5 ; -- .4 BUSINESS AREA STREETS began getting new surfaces this week in connection with a street "redecking" improvement proect.

She said the group learned that Russian husbands do, at times, help with the dishes and house cleaning; that many Soviet wom en have sewing machines and make their own clothes; that a Soviet woman does not necessar ily work outside the home; that home-cooked meals arc the rule for most families; and that apart ment rentals can oe as low as $5 per month. But generally, the home econo mists found high prices and poor quality, compared with the United States, on USSR food, clothing and equipment.

MYLER WASHINGTON (UPD Biolo gists issued a plea' today in be half of "vanishing species." They addressed it to earth's fiercest predator, man.

A biu at $5, an underslip at $12, and men's sports shirts starting at $3 obviously were out of range for most Soviet families, where individual earnings average about $100 per month, they said. One member of the tour, Helen Strow, Washington, D.C., said the stores were jammed with people doing more looking than buying. "The curious thing is that peo ple there didn't seem to be frus trated by the gap between cur rent prices and the capacity to buy" said Miss Strow. "Apparent ly they are willing to wait until a future day when all this may be within the range of the family income." Man Asks Hearing On Check Charge Shuford M.
