t MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 28, 1941. PAGE THRE3 IS. HUNT LAUDS' VOLUNTEER'S PART IN SOC!ALSERVICE Health Association Speaker Urges Continuance Of Lay Workers Efforts. "If the volunteer worker moves out of social service work It will collapse," Mrs. Myron Hunt told members of the Jack son County Public Health associ ation Thursday afternoon, when she spoke at the court bouse auditorium, urging the continu ance of the lay worker in the pursuit of public health and all other phases of social service. "The greatest problem of the day", she declared, "is the gap widening between the volunteer and professional social worker." Speaking with apparent knowl edge of her subject (she has fol lowed the progress of social ser vice in this country for SO years) she condemned and praised in language, which all could un derstand. Too Many Blocs "The rise of groups of people working for the government in the United States is a dangerous thing. It killed France. It will kill us," she declared. "There are too many organized lobbies and blocs. Even the school teach ers, I am, ashamed to say, have formed these organized lobbies. So have the labor groups and so have the social service workers. The Roman Catholic and Jewish welfare societies are doing won derful social work throughout the nation. Everywhere I go I find their programs outstanding, but they are working for their particular groups. There is less cohesion among the Protestants, as such, as they are divided into many groups but they are all working for their particular or ganizations. Not one for the gen eral welfare. They become or ganized and they stay organ ized. You very seldom get any board to relinquish its hold even if it work is no longer import ant. The question is are they needed? There are too many or ganizations in the Community Chest in most places. They out live their need. I don't know, of course, what your situation is here", the speaker added. Mrs. Hunt has been in Medford now for many months with her hus band, architect for the proposed army cantonment. Ahead of Europe Looking back over the history of social service work, Mrs. Hunt said she remembered well when there was no school offer ing training in social service. When there were no trained social service workers and the giving of Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets was consid ered an adequate social service program. We are far ahead of Europe In our scientific ap proach to social service work. In America, she told her audi ence, we have always been clos er to "the pioneer or neighbor days." This, she added, is not, however, typical of this genera tion, except in the small valleys, such as this one. This changing condition, she pointed out, has made the professional social service worker a necessity, but many of the progressions have come about through the active, conscious, patient attention of the lay workers. The speaker then said she had not found any place in Califor nia any organization of lay workers, carrying on in the man ner of the Jackson County Pub lic Health association, and that she was delighted with its pro gram. Then she cautioned the members to look into, their rural sections, where she stated "you have a lot of underfed, under privileged people in your own county, who are unintelligent and prejudiced. I don't under stand it in this intelligent com munity." Common Ground Needed The need of the day, Mrs. Hunt emphasized, is for conflict ing groups to reach a common ground or compromise. There is something to be said for each side. "No one with any Intelli gence believes that labor is all MONTGOMERY WARD : ?V. vmI ..,. . ,., 1 ..-JW I mith wrong and capital all right in the present struggle," she concluded. Mrs. Hunt was introduced to the association by the president, Mrs. J. C. S. Weills, and her address was followed by talks, given by Dr. A. E. Merkel and Miss Cleo Williams of the health department. A motion picture. showing the spread of tubercu losis among Indians was then shown by Dr. Merkel. Tea was served by the Talent group. f . IP k 1 &S :j Cf " TELEPHONE 3930 117 SO. CENTRAL Father to Regvlate Boy's AhIo Activity, Justice Is Assired James Valentine Melsenhel- mer, 16, of Talent, who plead guilty in justice court earlier this week to triple violations of the aifto law, was sentenced yes terday to pay $1.50 and costs for having no operator's license. On the two complaints of having no headlights and no registra tion card, he was given a four months suspended sentence. The action followed a con ference between the father and the court. The parent said when the boy bought the $60 second hand car he thought it was all right, but had changed 1 t mind since. He assured the court he would regulate the boy's motor ing in the future. C. E. Todd, charged with drunk and disorderly conduct, was sentenced to 30 days in the county jail, Todd was accused of creating a disturbance at his home a couple of days ago, dur ing which he created consider able racket by racing his auto engine. Marshall F. Caster of Eagle Point, charged with a lack of clearance lights on a truck, was assessed $1.50 and costs. Nab Platinum Blond After Robbery Try At Vancouver Bank Vancouver, B. C, Nov. 28 (CP) Blond Marie Dueck, 28, was held in city jail today on a charge of attempted robbery with violence following her ar rest in a downtown cafe yester day after an attempt had been made to hold up an east end branch of the Canadian Bank of Commerce. Dennis Boyd, teller, said that shortly before 8 p. m. closing time "a platinum blond with blue eyes" approached his wicket and pushed the barrel of a gun through the bars of his cage with the command: "Stick 'em up." Boyd said he ducked behind the counter and shouted to an employe, Miss C. Yipp, to tele phone police. The woman bandit took alarm and fled, pursued by soya, who followed her to a nearby cafe. He remained out side until police arrived. There are about 100 "private' streets in New York City, of which Rockefeller Plaza, near "Radio City" is the most famous. TO BE LARGEST OF Between 1,250 And 1,500 Draftees To Be Provided Local Quotas Revised. services and the orchestra will play in the evening. The pab Uc is cordially invited. Salem, Nov. 28 W Oregon will be asked during January to provide between 1,250 and 1,500 draftees, the largest num ber the state has yet been di rected to provl'e the army un der the selective service law, Lieutenant Colonel Elmer V. Wooton, state selective service director, said today. Wooton said that local board quotas are being-revised, and will be based largely on the number of class 1-A men avail able in a board area, instead of on the total number of reg istrants in an area. The change of the quota basis was made possible by the fact that nearly all Oregon local boards have completed classifi cation of their registrants. "However, Oregon local boards have been instructed to comb the lists of men already placed in a deferred classifica tion to see whether their de ferment is still Justified," Woo ton said. The reason for larger calls on the state next year than this year are that men who have evidence of hardship or depen dency based on changed home conditions will be released from the army, and that the navy might begin requisitioning men from selective service.
