TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Speakers Tell Recommendations
Of Children, Youth Conference
Eight speakbra who reviewed
the recent Governor's Confer
ence on Children and Youth
here Monday indicated that the
many trained leaders and lay
men at the conference Believe in
general that prevention, rather
than correction, must Da me Key
word o future child and youth
programs for this nation. A lack
of love, harmony and stability in
the home are at the basis of
most of the problems of children
and youth, they said.
Mrs. Marjorie Hopkins acted
as chairmen for the meeting,
called by the Mcdford League of
Women Voters, the Junior Serv
ice league, PTA units of the city
and Medford branch, American
Association of University
Women.
Mrs. E. Kanclier, Ashland,
eave background material on
the numose of the conference
explained the eight sections into
which the conference was
divided.
Education Talks Stormy
One of the stormiest sessions
was that of the education sec
tion, according to E. H. Hedrick,
superintendent of schools, who
attended that division. After
spending almost one whole day
arguing the philosophy of edu
cation, he said the section mem
bers finally recommended high
er requirements for teachers,
particularly elementary; more
"in service" training, decided
more money, should be spent on
instruction material and equip
ment. Discussing finances, he said
there seemed to be a trend away
from federal aid to education in
the thinking of the education
section, and it was indicated
that Oregon is in a good position
to support its own schools. The
section also recommended more
consolidation of schools and was
"strong for the children's school
bill."
Too Liltl. Planning
Alone the lines of curricula
he said the section thought
there was too little "over all
nlannine" for the school system,
recommended a study of "drop
outs," and thought Oregon s kin
dergarten program should be
enlarged.
In special education there
should be more and better edu-,
cation for mentally and physic
ally handicapped children, -and.
iiiore empnasis on eaucmiuu wi
the mentally superior child, he1
said the section indicated.
Miss Elizabeth McGalliard,
county public health nurse, re
ported on the "family life" sec
tion and said discussion there
was to the effect that the fam
ily should be strengthened as a
social unit and pointed out that
in the matter of church counsel
ing of young couples, the Catho
lic and Jewish faiths are far
ahead of the protestanl church
es. She discussed the effect of
economic changes on the family,
and insurance safeguards. Adop
tive procedures were given
much consideration, she said,
with the section acknowledging
that fully legal and formal adop
tions are the answer to much of
this problem.
"Realism" Advocaiad
Another phase of the family
life section was discussed by
Mrs. Henry Padgham, represen
tative of the Jackson County
Public Health association. She
said her group thought there
should be more "realistic" edu
cation for those who do not go
to college, and pointed out that
one-third of the least privileged
educationally produce t w o
thirds of the nation's children.
This section stressed that more

adjusted child who will be able

Reporting on the public health
section, Miss Frances Clink,
nurse, said her section dwelt on
the need for more trained ped
iatricians in Oregon, more hos
pitals for children, such as
Doernbecher hospital, and bet
ter resources for children with
special needs. She said her sec
tion believed it was vital that
the entire community cooperate
on every public health program
and ended by saying that "as
far as family health is concern
ed, it is ultimate responsibility
of the family itself."
Picture "Not Bright"
Mrs. Blanch Frisbie, public
health nurse, reported on the
mental hygiene section's find
ings. She said the picture of the
care of the mentally ill is "not
bright," and since half of all the
hospital beds in this nation are
occupied by the mentally ill,
these people constitute one of
the nation's most pressing prob
lems. The conference section,
she said, agreed that most of
the emotional disturbances of
children stem from unhappy and
insecure home life.
She reported the section
agreed that adoptions must be
in the hands of experts, tnat low
IQ children need help, not de
tention, that the slate and
nation's marriage laws are poor,
and adoptive laws and psychiat
ric services are inadequate. It
was further stressed in the men
tal health section that Oregon
should have facilities to train its
own social workers and that so
cial workers and teachers must
be better trained to recognize
early abnormal attitudes in
children, especially in the pri
mary grades.
Cil.s Emotional Problem
In her section it was said that
half of all illnesses have an
emotional basis and consequent
ly emotional disturbances are at
the bottom of much absenteeism
from employment. It was stress
ed that there must be a "posi
tive attitude" about mental ill
ness.
Mrs. Ethel Tennant of the
Medford Nursery school, spoke
of the child welfare section, say
ing it stressed that adults must
be taught to "understand chil
dren." Discussing services for
children, the section made such
of the fact that $9 million is ex
pended for . aid to dependent
children, and $29 million for aid
for the aged. She recieved day
care for children of working
mothers, said the section
thought the lostcr home situa
tion needed improvement in
Oregon and that adoption trends
needed more study. She said
this section spent considerable
time discussing the need for fed
eral aid, but said in her personal
opinion "the community can
meet its needs without state or
federal aid."
Juvenile Work Argued
John Richard, county juvenile
officer, said his section also
proved controversial, with police
officers and juvenile workers ar
guing over the philosophy be
hind the treatment of juvenile
delinquents. He said the section
agreed that Oregon's courts, laws
and probationary services are
"inadequate, confusing and con
tradictory" and that they must
be changed. He said the section
recommended a law modeled on
the Juvenile court act of the fed
eral children's bureau, that juris
diction over Juveniles be put en-
i "Jin a
Wednesday, May 3. 1930
tirely in the hands of circuit
judges sitting as a juvenile
court, and recommended estab
lishment of a department of do
mestic relations for circuit
courts.
Further recommendations were
for one trained social worker for
each court or the courts of two
adjoining counties, better coop
eration between police and social
workers, and detention homes in
counties where the juvenile care
load warrants. Jackson county
was one of these.'
Sound Warning Note
He said a warning noie was
sounded to the effect that "if the
counties don't meet their juve
nile court needs, they will find
one day that the entire system
has been taken out of their
hands." Richard said he believed
these matters should be handled
on a local level.
Richard said there was discus
sion of a youth authority plan,
and transfer of the juvenile pro
gram to the public welfare com
mission, but no recommenda
tions were made on these.
More Asthma Cases
In Older People
San Diego, Cal., May 3 (U.R)
A Philadelphia doctor says there
are more cases of asthma among
older people today because the
life span has been lengthened
and doctors recognize the al
lergy quicker.
"We are not seeing more peo
ple with asthma who are past
50 or 60 than we used to." Dr.
Louis Tuft told the California
Medical association conventior
yesterday.
"This is because more peopl
live beyond 60 than in the pa
couple of decades," he said.
Dr. Tuft said it was importai
"To determine if we are dealin
with asthma or some heart co
dition" because some older pc
pie often suffer heart or lui.

Liquor Sales
Off During Last 9 Months
Salem, Ore., May 2 (U.R)
Oregonians have consumed co
pious quantities of cocktails
since repeal came in an prohi
bition went out, the state liquor
control commission disclosed to
day. But, as you might say, the
boys in the back room aren't
having as many any more.
Liquor sales in Oregon in the
nine months ended March 31
dropped $2,634,092.46 from the
volume of the similar period a
year previous.
Still Trailing
Total sales in stores, agencies
and warehouse in the nine
months reached $28,006,356.73,
compared with $30,698,449.19
for the first nine months of the
1948-49 fiscal year.
In the first three months of
1950 liquor sales picked up
slightly but were still trailing
the records for the first three
months of 1949.
Sales totaled $5,419,371.30 for
the first three months, this com
pared with $7,625,538.78 for the
first three months of 1949.
But costs of sales have been
reduced so that, despite the drop
in sales, the commission actually
showed an increase in revenues
of $1,204,830.88 over revenues
for the similar period of a year
before.
Permits decline
Not only is volume of liquor
sales down, but the number of
customers show in the nine
months a total of 271.595 per
mits were sold. 20,497 less than
were sold in the similar period
of a year before.
Total earnings of the liquor
commission since its inception
have reached $97,520,090.96 and
that represents a lot of high
balls.
53 Summit Avenue
in Oregon
Of this amount $73,543,740.25
was transferred to the public
welfare commission to aid in
paying old age pensions. Under
a law passed by the 1949 legis
lature, all surplus liquor com
mission revenues now go direct
ly into tne state s general lund,
with the welfare commission
drawing from it for the old age
grants. Since last July 1, the
commission has transferred S8,
929.843.65 to the general fund.
Funds Transferred
In addition, the commission
has transferred $3,604,177.52 to
cities and counties of Oregon,
$1,672,168.50 to incorporated
cities and $1,094,942.10 to coun
ties in the last 15 years.
The remainder of the surplus
revenue of the liquor commis
sion is carried in three accounts:
cash surplus, $1,165,786.74;
working capital reserve, $7,211,
696.13, and surplus invested in
fixed assets, $297,736.07.
