No child Is born Into Isolation, Community exists from the very first, beginning with mother, ex nandins to father, family, and community as his needs Increase and development takes Its conrsi- At everv uolnt environ mcntul pressures are exerted on the child which help or hinder him m ttio process or crowing with his needs fulfilled. The ueonle who touch his life do influence him in a supportive way or In a way which caus es him to seek fulfillment by alternative methods which might damage him or the com munlty. Mutual Responsibility Members of communities who understand their mutual respon sibility to provide an environ ment for the very young, which has a full ranee of opportunities for learning and experiencing success and failure will not be comfortable when an offender is sent to a training school. They will ask themselves how they failed, and if they can motivate others to help change attitudes and conditions which create problems. Successful living and development of mature re lationships take place most healthfully In a community where love and appreciation for dignity of persons exists; wnere vnunir nootilp can be assisted not condemned; and where there are adult models of disciplined but spontaneous living. Person to Person Communication Important The root of the cause for be havior of most offenders lies In the area of relationship within the family and the family's re lationship with the community. When he Is sent to an Institu tion he is placed in an artificial environment where he is com pletely controlled and depend ent; in other words, an unreal world. Frequently the young people learn to function very well In tho controlled frame work; but when they return to the original situation with or iginal conditions and pressures, the original behavior will return and a recidivist is born. Field workers from state insti tutions have responsibility of counseling families, assisting the members to understand con flicts and to change the self defeating patterns of verbal mmmunication. Their work has been found to be more effective if It is supplemented by the use of selected volunteers of community workers who could . t ... i .... ... periorni WKSvm lumiiun.

Volunteers Hare a Place Manv Dcoole Question the usefulness of so called untrain ed personnel. Actual experience lias borne out several tacts. "Whatever his lob. the vol unteer's etvle of dolnc it is dif ferent. There may be many rea sons for this, including nis ire quent lack of conventional training, and his feeling of working free, less controlled by the aeencv structure. These in fluences seem to make the vol unteer more of an innovator, more unorthodox than regular professional staff though this Hops not mean his innovations will always be practicable.

But if your car smokes, it com pounds the problem. Get it fixed. Drive less. Contrary to what you may think, 60 of the air pollution in Oregon cities is caused by people driving cars. You can help clear the air by driving less. Share rides more. Use public transportation more. Spend a few bucks for the environment you enjoy. Support tax and bond measures designed to improve Oregon's environment. Let litter bug you. Don't let litter lie around. If it's yours, take it with you. If it's somebody else's, make the big sacrifice and pick it up. Worry a little. Don't put this problem out of your mind. It's your problem. So anytime you see an abuse of Oregon's environment, report it. Let your local or state government people know about it. EIGE1P E2Si?
