On Tuesday,
August 3,1999 PGE
invites you to join your neighbors
and support National Night Out,
America's night out against crime.
By turning on your porch light that
evening (perhaps one of the super efficient,
long-lasting compact fluorescent types) you
can show your support. Better yet, join or
help organize a National Night Out Block
party. By doing so you'll help make your
community a safer place. For more
information, call 823-4519 in
Portland, 588-6499 in Salem

or contact your local police

Mothers’
Jobs Have
Modest
Effect on
Children
B y L inda J acobson
Whether children are harmed by
having mothers who work outside
the home is a topic o f great debate
But a new study, published this
month in the journal Developmen
tal Psychology, concludes that the
negative effects on children aren’t
very great. In fact, the researcher
who conducted the study concludes
that some children benefit from the
income that their mothers bring to
the household.
Elizabeth Harvey, a psychology
professor at the University o f Mas
sachusetts at Amherst, analyzed data
from the long-running National Lon
gitudinal Survey o f Youth, con
ducted by the U.S. Department of
Labor, to determine how parental
employment affects children's aca
demic achievement, behavior, and
emotional development.
