I THE REGISTER. GUARD, EUGENE, OREGON E WORK OREGON (CONTINUED FROM PAGE I) put It on the state, but if you wish to kill it ,ny in your low 'Th county ny pay.' "Within oue month niter arceptlns; the responsibility of being legion child 'welfare ihnirmnr,, four years ago, the auxiliary in Multnomah county up peule.1 to uie for assistunco in secur Ins aid for a mother and four chil dren. 1 am citing this enso because It was the first of many similar esses, and because it illustrates perfectly tho points I nm trying to get across trii limit involvinc the sympathy and sentimentality that many of the later cases Involved. Ham Cars Better. Cheaper "A veteran who lml been at work only a short time following a some wlutt prolonged Illness, died of heart Mure. Ho left widow with four children. There was $700 Mt in the adjusted compensation cortlfieate. The mother paid back rent and store bills, expecting to preserve her credit until something turned up. nut the mer lnini knew the provider was gone. there was no such thing ns credit. She appll.J for mother's pension. It was denied, why? The reason given was she bod paid bills with the $700 service certificate Instead of hoard ing It. She begged; she went from one chnrity to another but It wasn't until tho danger of losing her children to an Ir.stitutlon threatened her that she began enlisting aid. To mnke long story short, we succeeded in getting a grant of J IS for this family. If these children bad been committed to an institution it would have cost the state ."'SI for the care of the children only, fiay nothing about the care of the mother during those strenuous times. Here Is a saving of J228 a year to the taxpayer on only one family, measnred in dollars alone. Say noth ing at all ahnnt tho value of rearing these children in their own family atmosphere' Lobby Defeats Bill, Claim The speaker advocated that the cost of in'titntional care snd mothers' aid be shared equally by the county and state, thus eliminating "passing the buck" of the cost from one, tax levying body to another, and center ing attention on the needs ot the in dividual child Instead. Outlining attempts made In the past to secure legislation to tins end, tveit- .er charged that highly trained H'D bles, with plenty of money at their disposal, had defeated past attempts along this line. The lobby, he said, represented what Is known as the Child Caring Federation oi uregon. "In order to coDe with thein it will be necessary for you to know the methods they use In preventing legis lation. In 1931 they had an open high priced lobby. In 1033 it was at the legislature but under cover. When the legion measure for creating un paid county child welfare boards was introduced it passed the committee on public welfare with a unanimous vote. Two days later when It came up In the house things began to happen. Why? Every county judge in Oregon received a letter of which part of the (eit ! as follows: "Sect. 0 of tho pro posed act which requires that the county court shall lurnisn tae ooaru nt ehildrens' ruardians such data, rec ords and information as will enable them to advise with the court in such matters should be particularly repug nant to you as a judge. Your exper ience has shown how many matters coming before you are and must pe confidential and you undoubtedly know how the troubles of the children would be broadcast throughout yonr county if you were required to furnish to the proposed board all of the Infor mation at your command concerning any case. Letters Solicited " The Child Caring group of the state of Oregon haa in the past co operated fully with your court and your workers and this group Is anx ious to continue the present harmoni ous relations. We do not want to see the creation of this cumbersome ma chine which, If placed in operation, will result In making you, as judge, simply a "yes man" to your county child welfare commission. " 'May we request. If you agree with us on this bill, that yon voice your opposition to your representatives and senators In the legislature Immediately by wire and that you follow the wires np by letter? " 'Also, may we have a letter from yon expressive of yonr opinion on the bill, with your permission to use the letter at such time as the occasion may warrant? " 'Very truly yours, The Child Car ing Federation of Oregon, by the president.' Segregation Held Need "Now, why are county committees a part of onr program? Let me tell you a few stories that will point out how county committee, can be telpful and why there should be some group in the community that should concern itself with the quality of work that Is being done. "My attention was called to a ten year old boy at the state training school who had been living with his stepfather, but whose father bad been an ex-service man. He was tho type of boy both in appearance and dis position that any ot you would have lieen glad to have in your home. Vet, there he was mixed with older crimi nals and eighteen year old sex per verts and a young negro who had been committed for having murdered his mother. In looking over his record there wss nothing which warranted sending a boy of this age to the 'training school for crime' short of the fact that the family was about to go on relief and thus made one less for tbe county to provide for. If this county had had a group inter ested in such problems do you think that they could not have worked out a better solution for this child and the other children of this family? Coordination Dtolared Need There are, in Oregon 30 different methods of dealing with dependent children: 36 different methods of administering mothers' aid; 36 dif ferent methods of dealing with de linquency and probation; 16 differ ent private child caring institutions, receiving state subsidies: nine pub licly owned institutions managed by political appointees, he said. "Isn't it time to ponder on what kind of a Job is being done for the unfortunates of this stnte at an an nual cost of $8,500,000 under the haphazard methods we are using. Doesn't this remind you somewhat of the road system we had 20 years ago with its haphaiard system of filling the ruts in the spring and tearing them to pieces in the winter. We recognized where we crossed tho county lines by the difference felt in the bumps in the road. . "We coordinated our road system by putting It under state control as a department of public highways. "Because we cannot segregate the chiH from the adult in the funda mental services we must perform, we hsve come to the realization that to best serve this child we must coordinate all public welfare activi ties under a department of public welfare. ' ' 'We hope that when such legis lation la offered every post and anxiliary of the American Legion will do its utmost to bring it to a successful conclusion. 'Not until we bare provided more adequate care for dependents, not until we have raised tbe standard of training of personnel dealing with dependents, not until we have re moved the institutions caring for un fortunates from political manlpnla- SAYS SANTA: "The Easy Way To Shop Just Go To . . . ft 4 A' II No. 1764 Willamette No. 28 E.

The dead were Psullne-Pilon, B, Robert Jean 5, and Roger Gravelle, 4. STORY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE I) way, where the highway crosses the railroad tracks. Since the widening of Franklin boulevard and the installa tion of three traffic lanes, state highway commission experts point to a dangerous situation existing at the ice plant located north of the street near the tracks. Chief Berg man said. With traffic required by state law to keep to the rigbt lane except when passing another machine, traffic has been swung over to the right and now passes too close to the loading platform of tbe Ice plant, officials of tbe commission declare. With the traffic stream flowing so close to these platforms, , is is believed ser ious accidents may result; At present a rather makeshift ar rangement Is in force, whereby a car is parked on the right hand lane, forcing cars to awing out into . the center of tbe street ss- they pass the ice plant,-and it Is tbis feature that the highway commission officials es pecially object to, Bergman said. Installation of a warning sign of some sort is being, considered and the police committee probably will make a recommendation Friday evening. "This situation holds great danger because autos usually go at con siderable speed at tbis point and the additional hazard of , tbe railroad crossing makes the Bpot a serious problem in traffic control," the chief suid Thursday. ."Within the past two weeks a car struck a guard post at this intersection. The problem is complicated due to the fact that any warning placed might tend to con fuse motorists as there already is a railroad crossing warulng signal there." Two accidents, in which cars, start ing to make turns, were struck by autos following them, were reported to city police. The mneliine driven east on Sixth by S. Collls Mnssey, was hit by a car driven by Mrs. Hazel Archibald at the Clmruelton street Intersection. A car driven west on Sixth by Fred Fredericksen, was struck by a car driven by Oscar Snow when Fredericksen started to turn into Lawrence street. The third accident was a crash at Tenth and . Chnrnelton where cars driven by Orman Weaver and Lester Peterson crashed.
