1 Wanted Homes!
To the Editor:
Are the people of Medford selfish
or are. they only thoughtless, or pos-
simy. ignorant or conditions?
The school authorities are literally
swamped with appeals from boys and
girls for homes in which they can
work for room and board and con-
tlnue their education out no homes
can be found.
These youngsters, some 30 or 40 of
them, and the list grows longer each
day. must find home In town or go
without a . high school education.
Some come from farms so far awy
that they cannot make the trip each
day; some are children whose parents

have moved away and who wish to
complete their schooling In Medford.)
All are without funds to pay for
board and lodging, but are ready and
willing to pay with work and so earn
their education and preserve their
self-respect.
On every hand one hears people
say: "You can't gt anywhere in
present times without a high school
education." Are these youngsters,
then, to be denied the privilege of
"making good"?
Surely there are many homes In
Medford which could accomodate an
extra member. Maybe a mother would
like to have help after school hours
with young children or with meals
and dish washing, possibly- a father
dislikes the shivery trip to the base-
ment to start the fire In the furnace
or has high blood pressure and his
been forbidden to mow the lawn.
wash the car or beat ruga.
There may be some elderly couples
who would like a little extra help:
or maybe some lonely person would
look forward with anticipation In
stead of dread, to the long winter
evenings, knowing that they would
be shared with a grateful companion
Then must be many who do not feel
that they cannot afford a maid, yet
would like to hava help and would
never miss the little extra that it
would cost to provide food for a third
person.
There are many organisations - In
Medford willing to give both time
and money for various civic projects
aren't there any willing to help
find homes for deserving children?
If some of the more prosperous Elks,
Shrlners, Rotarlans, Lions, etc., would
agree to take one boy or one girl
into their home for the school year
and let them do the work that they,
themselves, probably dislike, doing or
have to hire done, In return for their
board and room, a great many prob
lems would be solved.
