"Many of our children come
from backgrounds in which
there was much confusion and
inadequate nurturing and dis
cipline. With a stable envi
ronment. Christian training
and love, and for some, thera
peutic intervention, we find
that our children can usually
stabilize their lives, work
through their earlier problems
and go on to set and work for
realistic life goals." the Kel
leys said.
The operation and program
of the ranch will be presented
using color slides and there
will be an opportunity for
questions and discussion after
the presentation. Shelton said.
Pre-Columbian Indians be
lieved that earthquakes were
caused by the creator shaking
the earth to see if his handi
work was still around. The
Indians would shout "Here
I am," to reassure him.

As many as 200.000 young
Oreponians under the age of
five will need to be secured in
a child safety system or safety
belt when riding in most motor
vehicles when a new law takes
effect January 1. 114 an

Division in Salem.
But many parents are not
waiting for the law to buy the
devices, the division reports.
The Automobile Club of
Oregon says it has been selling
units like hot -cakes for the last
year, and business has picked
up in recent weeks. Telephone
inquiries also are up.
Several child restraint loan
programs operated by county
health departments also re
port increased calls about
loaner devices.
The Motor Vehicles Division
began in mid-October a pro
gram to acquaint drivers and
vehicle owners with the new
law. It is ending pamphlets
explaining the law to people
renewing car or driver licen

ral child restraint standards.
Among other things, the
pamphlets remind would-be
buyers thast a child restraint
system must meet federal
motor vehicle safety stan
dards and that any device
manufactured since January,

belts or child restraints when
riding in most passenger
vehicles. Safety officials say
children over five and, for that
matter, all adults Also should
ride with safety belts fastened
to reduce possible serious in-iurv.
There are some exceptions
in the law, such as for com
