Dean Advises
SILVERTON Dr. U. G. Du
bach of Oregon State college, was
of the opinion that the young peo
ple of today have too much rather
than too little entertainment, ac
cording to his talk at the, public;
forum at Silverton Monday night
This was sponsored by the Chris
tian Men's association of Silver
ton.: v
Starting with Monday night and
ending with Thursday night. Dr.
Dubach: thought, he said, that the
young people were at home study
ing. He was of the opinion that
there . was no particular youth
problem different from youth
probelmsr , of all generations but
that here was an adult problem,
He insisted that the adult gen
eration, was try In- to operate a
high powered machine with a -
low-geared . moral motor and
that folk should try to live a
little from the neck up Instead
of as they doi almost entirely
from the neck down. '
Religion, In the opinion of Dr.
Dubach, is playing too - small a
part In 'the modern scheme of
things. He suggested forgetting
the petty church quarrels and
troubles and looking only to the
bigger scheme of things.
' Sitting j on the forum . Monday
night were Mrs. M. G. Gunderson,
Mrs. F. J. Roubal, Rev. O. Leon

er, showed figures gathered from
high school seniors and juniors
that 36 per cent of the two groups
attend church regularly and 21.6
do not attend at all; that 80 per
