Agri-Chem, Inc. REPRESENTED BY Les Wyman Phone Heppner 6-9619 that only 41 per cent of the ell glble boys and girls are being reached by these organized youth, activities. There were 307 par ticipating in church youth activ ities or 54 per cent. As a result of the survey and because the youth committees recognized that there were prob lems involving the youth, sev eral groups were called in to dis cuss these problems with the members of the committee. These groups included representatives of organizations interested In rec reation for the youth, law en forcement officers, school offic ials, and some of the youth themselves. The problems and recommendations can be divided into several groups. EDUCATION: The committee feels that the teenagers have done a fine job in developing the Oregon Code for high school students and in making it available to all of the student bodies for their study and consideration. This code sets forth a basic rule for students and parents, guides for parent youth planning, home entertain ing, general dating, hours, driv ing, drinking and smoking. We recommend that there be more parent study of the Teenage Code so that they will be In a better position to cooperate with the students in their efforts to carry out the provisions of the code. We recognize the value of the drivers training program In the schools and we recommend that the schools of Morrow county give consideration to the estab lishment of such a program. It was felt that there was a need for more counselling In the schools and by other agencies to help the youth plan their programs and coordinate their activities. A well-balanced train ing should Include participation In school, church and community activities. Notice was taken of a car club By MARTHA MATTESON The Bob Kelly family of Long that has been organized at one creek came down Sunday morn of the schools in the county. If ing to the Joe Mellor home where this proves to be successful we 'the wife and children stayed recommend that consideration be while Bob went fishing for steel given to the organization of oth-jhead.

RECREATION: 1.

There has been considerable work done by the fair board and others In trying to get the floor of the fair building fixed so that it can be used for roller skating. We commend those who have worked on this for their efforts and we recommend that the program be continued and that skating be made available for our young people. 3. Some school facilities are being opened to provide recreat ion for the young people. It is suggested that this might be ties support and cooperate with the law enforcement officers. When the representatives of some of the high schools of the county met with the committee the teenagers themselves brought out some very pertinent observat ions: 1. Parents need to be firm in controlling the child's driving, and they must assume responsi bility for the way their young person drives. 2. The present liquor laws per taining to teenagers should be enforced. 3. Advertising on TV and radio programs has a terrific Influence for both smoking and drinking. The ads are being aimed at the young people. 4. Discipline of the child must start at an early age.
