Youths Values" Is topic for study groups The importance of the early' years of life in the development of a child is being stressed by the scientists who study behavior. Young parents reading these reports are concerned about how to provide the best possible start for their child. Often they've had little or no ex perience with babies and toddlers and have lots of questions about the care and guidance of the baby who hat learned to get around the house on his own two feet. In order to answer some of the questions, the Umatilla and Morrow County Extension Ser vice is offering a correspond ence course to parents of children under three years of age. According to Debbie Barker, Extension Home Economist, the course consists of four lessons to be completed at home. Each lesson has a worksheet to be completed and a report back form to return to the office before the next lesson is sent. Titles of the lessons are: What Are Toddlers Like?, Parents Are Teachers, Play is What it's All About, and Living with Children. If you have a child under thr years of age you may enroll in this course by writing or calling your nearest Exten sion office, or the Pendleton Extension office, P.O.Box 1107, Pendleton, phone 276-7111.

Miss Alexander's book con cerns her Uncle Dave Littlefield All interested persons are invited to participate in one of the 22 Home Extension study group lessons in March, states Extension home economist Molly Saul. All groups in Umatilla and Morrow counties will discuss the lesson "The Emerging Values of Youth". Approximately 43 million persons in the United States are in the 14-24 age group. Many research studies of this group have been made concerning their values, as opposed to their parent's values. One study of a cross section of 3000 youth concluded that the values of the majority of youth reflect the values of their parents. A minority of youth reflect emerging or changing values. These points will be discussed in the study group sessions. Morrow County leader teachers who will do the teaching recently received Makes Oregon History Live who left his native Maine to become a sailor at an early age. He soon learned of the gold discoveries in the west and deserted ship to join a posse. Exciting events led him, with three other companions, to the discovery of gold and the settling of the little town of Auburn, near Baker, Oregon. Auburn Flourishes The town of Auburn turned almost overnight from a one horse settlement to a mush rooming metropolis of over 5,000 in 1862. Maude has recalled stories her uncle told her of persons and happenings there and recorded them with wit. One of Auburn's outstanding citizens was the great grandfather of Oregon's senator Robert Packwood. This early Packwood and his wife designed the Oregon State Seal. Miss Alexander spent the first twenty years of her life in Auburn. She taught school in many locations, the last two being The Dalles and Sisters.
