Mental Aid Clinic
Seen Obtainable
In Jackson County
i A total of more than 200
persons attended sessions of a
conference on mental health
which was held here yesterday.
Melvin Murphy, Portland, di
rector of the Oregon Mental
Health association, was speak
er at morning, noon and eve
ning meetings.
' Murphy told those attending
that it would be possible for
Jackson county to obtain wider
child guidance and psychiatric
; services "than at present obtain
1 able. He explained that the trav
eling clinic maintained by the
'University of Oregon medical
school will no longer be sent
to communities where the spon
sorship is limited.
'Cooperation Needed
I But he pointed out that
i through cooperative endeavors
of volunteer groups, present or
ganizations and agencies such
as the juvenile court, the wel-
. fare office and the schools, a
i regular schedule of visits could
'-be set up in this area, perhaps
'through the cooperation of
' Southern Oregon college.
He praised Jackson county
for setting up the first organi
zation of which he has heard
for child services, and empha
sized the importance of mental
health work by pointing out that
Oregon has the highest suicide
frate of any state in the nation,
'and one of the highest divorce
rates.
Mew Developments
His association, he said, is
interested in interceding on be
half of those with mental ill-
; nesses, and training teachers,
parents and others how to avoid
mental illness. New develop
ments in Oregon recently, he re-
, ported, include the location here
ol two new psychiatrists, and
the setting up of a school at the
university for training in psy
chiatric social work.
!l. Dr. William Thompson, vice
chairman of the Jackson County
Council for Children and Youth,
presided at the morning meet
ing in the YMCA and explained
the council's purposes. A film,
"Angry Boy," dealing with a
youth who steals and is cured
by psychiatric help, was shown
and discussed.
Workshop, Film
During the afternoon a "work
shop" for school officials and
law enforcement officers on tru
ancy problems was held, and in
the evening another film, "Feel
ing of Rejection," was shown
at a meeting in the junior high
school. This picture showed the
influence of the home and par
ents, and the school and teach
ers, on young people.
During the day Murphy urged
support for a proposed consti
tutional amendment which
would permit the construction
of a state institution for mental
patients In Multnomah county,
and pointed out that more than
half of the patients at both
Salem and Pendleton mental
hospitals come from the area
surrounding Portland.
A new hospital would permit
better treatment for those need
ing it at all three hospitals, plus
better custodial care for senile
patients from the metropolitan
area, he said.

ceived by relatives here. Brown
is now a corporal and Williams

Invitation to Vandal
Given by Pastor Here
The Rev. Harry J. Hansen,
pastor of the Foursquare
church, located at the corner
of Jackson street and Biddle
road, today invited a van
dal to church services Sun
day. "We hope, if he comes, he
may have a change of heart,"
the Rev. Mr. Hansen said.
About a month ago the un
known vandal broke eight
windows of the church and
forced open the back door.
Similar vandalism was com
mitted at the church last
night, the pastor reported.
"If a person becomes a true
Christian, ha also becomes a
law abiding citizen, and will
work for the betterment of
the community in which be
lves," Mr. Hansen said.
Most
cars lead
A good part of the time, they're
running errands, taking children to
school, taking women to stores, taking
men to work, taking family and
friends to clubs and social functions.
It doesn't call for a very great output
of horsepower for duties like these.
But there are times when you want a
car that can do vastly more, and these
are the times when you'll want what
this year's Roadmaster has to offer.
Beneath its proud hood, there's a
Fireball 8 Engine a valve-in-head
that can let loose 170 lively horse
power when needed.
And alongside this engine there's
also an Airpower carburetor which
thriftily feeds fuel and air through two
smaller-than-usual barrels for normal
955.10 last year. Other totals
from areas included: .
Towns' Totals
Ashland, $4,410.91; .Butte
Falls, $113.83; Central Point,
$1,061.87; Eagle Point, $391.17;
Gold Hill, $221.27; Jacksonville,

Wimer, $411.84; Applegate and

$581.14.
Expenses of the drive, includ
ing freight, postage, game ex
penses," printing, supplies . and
miscellaneous, totaled $1,177.83
this year, compared to $1,158.96
last year.
Clackamas Court
Demands Payment
OF O&C Land Funds
Oregon City U.R) The
Clackamas County Court de
manded Thursday the distribu
tion of nearly $5,000,000 in rev
enues from controverted O&C
lands.
The court specifically demand
ed federal officials give the
county its share of the money
which amounts to $180,880.
Based on Distribution
The claim was based on the
rate of distribution given on
other O&C lands under the
Bureau of Land Management,
rather than under the Depart
ment of Agriculture. If the funds
are distributed by the forest
service, a branch of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, the county s
share would be $48,904.

Obscene Magazines
Object of Attack
By Ashland Group
Ashland "Obscene and ob
jectionable" magazines on sale
at Ashland newsstands were the
object, of an organized attack
here, this week.
According to the Ashland Tid
ings, more than 35 persons rep
resenting .churches, Parent
Teacher groups and magazine
distributors, met with the city
council Tuesday afternoon. .
, After discussion, the group
voted to recommend to the coun
cil that a board of review be
set up to screen magazines re
ceived here, and notify city po
lice of titles which they feel
are objectionable.
Ordinance- on Books
There is already a city or
dinance forbidding the sale of
obscene printed material in Ash
land, but Chief of Police Vem
Smith pointed out that his de
partment is not organized to
screen the many magazines and
determine their worth.
The conference, which had
been called at the request of
the Rev. W. H. Tillman, voted
for a three-man review board,
with representatives of the pub
lic, the ministerial association
and the schools as members.
The council was due to meet
in special session today or Fri
day to set up such a . board,
which might have three or five

20-30 Club Planning
Wire Hanger Drive
Members of the Medford 20
30 club, meeting Tuesday at the
Rogue alley Country club, dis
cussed plans for a drive to col
lect old coat hangers to raise
funds for , the - National Rheu
matic Fever fund. .
During the discussion it was
pointed out that most house
holds have extra supplies of
wire hangers, and probably be
glad to get rid of them, particu
larly in a good cause. The drive
would be conducted through the
cooperation of cleaning estab
lishments of the city, it was said.
David Johnson was welcomed
as a new member of the club
at Tuesday's meeting, and guests
attending included Gerald War
ren and Wallace Wright
nith a ioueh of VQr
driving which means that you now
use less gas at 40 than you'd formerly
use at 30.
But there are two barrels in reserve
waiting for you to call them into
action and they let loose a soaring
rush of power that sinks your
shoulders back into the seat cushion,
swoops you past a truck-out of a tight
spot up a hill sets your speedometer
needle to registering added miles
more than twice as fast as your watch
can tick off the seconds.
This is an experience you certainly
should know firsthand.
