Staff Wrttor, Tho Statesman f Today marks the 25th . anniversary of the founding, of the Women's Christian Temperance Union's children's' farm home three miles north of Corvallis on the Corvallis-Albany j highway. An official program marking the event will begin: at 2:30 this afternoon when visitors: from all over Oregon will hear' such dig nitaries as Marshall Dana, editor of the Oregon Journal editorial page, and C L. Starr, Portland, president of. the Oregon WCTU. Picnic lunches and a holiday spirit will prevail as the visitors inspect the 283 acres of rolling farm ; lands stretching from the highway to the Willamette river. Two lakes and a creek, a swim ming pool and ball grounds will provide recreation for the visit ors as it does for the 160 child ren now at the Institution. Cottage 25 Tears Old The first of eight cottages now at the farm home was dedicated Just 25 years ago to the memory ot Frances E. Willard. leader of the temperance forces in Amer ica during the 18th century. The first cottage was "named "The Willard in her honor, and in 1939 the eighth cottage built be came The Frances Elizabeth. Founder of the Oregon move ment to create a home for child ren from broken families was Mrs. Mary Powers of Shedd, Ore. Mrs. Powers made her first ap peal for such a home at the 1919 Linn county WCTU convention. The idea was taken up by other leaders of the Oregon organiza tion and in 1923 the first cottage was opened to provide shelter for the homeless and unwanted child ren- Not Orphanage The children's farm home is not an orphanage, for each of its inhabitants has a relative somewhere who helps provide for the child, if possible, but' can not care fully for him, accord ing to Superintendent W. B. Schnebly. The 160 children, rang ing in age from 5 to 17 years, lead a communal home life. Each cottage has a housemother who advises leads and mothers the children. The cottages have spa cious, home-like living rooms and' reading rooms with fireplaces and radios. Each has its own kitchen and dining room to further the feeling of freedom and indepen dence of the children. No visit ing hours are observed. The visit or is welcome at any time, and the children are allowed to have personal pets. School en Grounds A regular school j with accred ited teachers cares $ for the first eight grades, while' older child ren are sent to Corvallis high school. Farming activities, boy and girl scout troops, chores and assignments to the different farm jobs keep the children occupied and active. The school and farm are fi nanced by the members of the Oregon WCTU, each member be ing responsible for raising five dollars a year for the farm home. Some state and county welfare funds are also provided. At pres ent there are over 20 buildings, including cottages, the school, barns and shops, on the grounds, and valuation is placed at $520, 000. Food Raised at Farm Thirty persons are employed. Much of the food Is raised and processed at the farm, and a large laundry manned by the children cares for their cleaning needs. The . Holstein , herd pro duces 63 gallons of milk per day, being in turn processed into butter and ice cream as well as furnishing more than a quart of milk per day for each child. During the summer the child ren work on the farm and take turns of going in groups to the school cottage at Newport for four days at the beach. The beach trip includes excursions up and Kansas Folk Visit Pringle ! PRXNGLE Mr. and . Mrs. George Rice, Mr. and Mrs. Shir ley Rice and Anna Heinley of Topelca.
