(Youth Conference Reports
Summarize Needs of Young
v People, Point to Progress
By Winston EL Taylor
Assuum (.117 Hinr, roe suiesanan
Will Oregon's half million children and youth gain anything from
another two days of talk by 1,000 adults? The answer to that ques
tion, often posed concerning the Just - finished state conference on
children and youth, appeared today to depend on the legislators and
on the people who elect them, as well as on the teachers, doctors,
bsvchiatrists, courts and recreation leaders
1 A.
The social worxers ana ine iay
men at the meeting, however, re
ported an encouraging concern
mong parents, children, churches
nd-various civic groups to find
the right answers to problems and
to work together in solving trou
bles. Influx of Population
They emphasized also that Ore
gon's natural resources, in health
especially, are above average but
that programs of organizations
forking with young people have
been taxed by the heavy influx of
population. The conference propos
als are to be carried back to the
newcomers and to the "old-tim-
Ers w now ui respunsiuiuiy 01
oth group.
"tyith the family recognized as
having prime responsibility for
the child, and the most time with
bim, suggestions from many of
the eight conference committees
reverted to this field. Recommen
dations and discussion of the
committee reviewed by Dr. Les
ter Kirkendall Included schools'
addition of courses In personal re
lationships and preparation for
marriage, as vital as home eco
nomics; a family service center
available anywhere in Oregon, for
counseling to prevent , family
breakups; more industry and bet
ter land use to keep pace- with
the growth of population. .
It noted that churches are
showing increasing concern for
working with the family as a unit.
Upon , finding that some of its
) resent programs discourage fam
ly unity by having organization
for single age groups. Members
found that Oregon's divorce rate
Is falling, but not as rapidly as the
marriage rate. In addition," more
families were found learning to
do things together, rather than
always as individuals.
Opportunities Not Equal
The education summary by Dr.
Henry Gunn, president of Oregon
jjollege of Education, declared
That Oregon does not have equal
educational opportunities for all
children particularly in the
lack of kindergartens and . train
Ing for nearly 5,000 children who
Heed special education because of
handicaps. Members urged es
tablishment" of non-college voca
tional schools for high; school
graduates and dropouts not d
lined for college, more, study of
consolidation for too small schools.
rousing the public to "the grave
needs of education" because of
finances involved in improvement,
that the problem get high priority
from tht legislative Interim tax
committee.
Mrs. C. A. Mockmore reported
the health group found the attl
tude on the subject had switched
from therapy only to include pre
vention of disease. It noted that
schools should train the child in
good health practices and par
ents should see that the commun
ity provides services. It. recom
mended an addition to Doero
becher children's hospital in Port
land, a convalescent hospital for
children, fall pediatrics training
at University of Oregon medical
school and more care for excep
tional, that is, handicapped, chil
dren. Emotional Trowbles
xviucn or cmiaren's mental
health trouble stems from par
ents emotional troubles. Dr. Har
lan P. McNutt reported for the
mental health committee. The
group found that, while the sick
minct can be healed, the focus
now on prevention preservation
of mental health. It claimed the
principal needs in the field are
understanding by all tha children
need love and acceptance before
the learning process starts and
; that mentally handicapped chil
dren need special education It
criticized the use of Jails for hold
ing, mental cases pending .com-
.III bAA.W.I .
Oregon has' good basic laws and
organization for welfare, accord
ing to the welfare committee re-
pon 07 jonn wniieiaw. ine group
questioned the propriety of Var
iance between $29,000,000 old age
assistance and $9,000,000 aid to
dependent children appropriated
in the state in the past decade.
It recommended that boards of
public and private welfare ser
vices should have a reasonable
turnover of personnel and that
boards should be larger or have
advisory groups; that University
of Oregon have a school of social
work, "because learning every
thing by trial and error is too
slow;" more day care and home-
makers service to help keep fam
ilies together; more and better
foster homes to care for essential
separations, and more safeguards
in adoption procedure.
Mere State Parks
The recreation committee, re
ported by Gus Moore, Salem
YMCA general secretary, urged
platform of "recreation, an es
sential community service for
Oregon"; provision for state-level;
recreation ' leadership; legislation
by state to enable communities to
provide facilities by "spending:
public funds for public recrea
tion"; a state commission to aid
community programs; action by
the highway commission to have
more state parks, open larger
parks for overnight camping and
establish more youth camp units
such as Camp Silver Creek near
Salem,
The Juvenile delinquency com
mittee, according to Mrs. Frank
Queen, recommended, in order to
cut future adult Jail population,
uniform juvenile court practice
no juveniles under 16 years of age
in an adult court; those 16-19
years in adult court only for fel-j
onies: close watch on delinquent
tendencies of those under 8 years
separate detention quarters for
juveniles; special facilities for
those 18-21 years; stress on
healthy family situation. I
Children leave school j too early
to get proper traiiilng for employ
ment, according to the employ
ment committee report by Capt.
Arvid Leppaluoto. Surveys show4
ed most failure in the first three
grades; that children want more
personal interest from teachers;
that they want work experience
in school and sports for all, not
lust a few. Members said 'reluc
tance by many employers to hire
local workers rather than mi
grants hurt the employment situ
ation.
