Bartels, vice-chairman; Russell Barnes, Warren Baylis, Fred Burich, Ray L. Casterline, Lawrence El lis, R. S. Fish, Ray Frisbie, Rob ert W. Hanf and Earl L. Lawson. Mo. 2 Killer In making the announcement Mrs. Day'pointed out that cancer is the No. 2 killer in the United States, and that medical re search has created a hope that the disease can be conquered in the foreseeable future.

The rest of the money goes for national research and the devel opment of films and literature which do much to make the public conscious of the cancer threat, resulting in earlier di agnosis and treatment and a bet ter chance of complete cures.

THEVACS State College, Pa. (U. In stead of asking why some people commit criminal acts it might be more helpful to ask why the majority -confine their behavior to what is legal and socially approved. Obviously, there are , many times when' the easiest, most di rect way of getting what one wants involves illegal or socially undesirable behavior. .What, then, makes most people good most of the time? First of all, the most power ful force for good behavior is generated by the "flywheel" of habit, to borrow, a figure of speech from William James. Growing up in a society means learning the ways of that society. Every person with a ca pacity for development, includ ing criminals, accumula'ls a large repertory of sociallj- approved behavior. Anti-social behavior by any given person is limited to relatively few areas of life activity, even though it may become habitual in those areas. Second, there are forces of re straint that prevent anti-social behavior in ' many situations where the approved behavior has not been learned well or where it appears ineffective. In general, these restraints take the formof an awareness of pos sibilities like the following: 1 punishment; 2 family disgrace; 3 disapproval of friends and acquaintances; 4 violation of personal code of ethics or re ligious values. The most important influences on the learning of acceptable be havior habits and on the de velopment of appropriate re straints are, first, the home, and then the school. Many unfavor able home conditions have been identified as contributing to de linquency and crime. Delinquent homes are characterized by feck of affection, lack of rapport be tween parents and children, lack of moral ideals, and so forth. Children growing up in homes like these get a poor chance to become habituated to socially-approved behavior. In addition, disgrace, disapproval, Navy Elecfronicsmen Sought for Unit Here Navy veterans with ratings in electronics or radio are being sought to fill vacancies on the roster of Medford's naval re serve electronics warfare com pany, it was announced Satur day. The openings include those for radarmen, radiomen, signal men and others.

There are also open ings in the unit for young men and women 17 years old or older who want to attain reserve ratings. The unit meets each Monday at 7:45 p.m. in the Federal build ing, 33 North Riverside avenue. Carl D. Blessing, electronics technician third class, has been assigned here on a tour of active duty, and 'is serving as station keeper for the unit. He can Tro vide additional information about the unit, and can be seen at the Federal building, or can be called at telephone 2-2566. Lt. Horace Leland is the unit's com manding officer. Job Openings at Camp White Announced Here Federal civil service examin ations for appointments as kitchen helper and hospital at tendant at Camp White will be conducted soon, it was announc ed Saturday.

Dairy Nulrionist Plans Medford Visit Miss Alice Anne Gerber, nu tritionist with the Oregon Dairy council, will be in Medford, Fri day, April 4, to confer with education and extension leaders. . The council carries on a state wide, program of dairy products promotion through health and nutrition education. It is spon sored by Oregon's dairy pro ducers and is financed partly by the Oregon Dairy Products com mission and partly through a volunteer membership program for distributors. While in Medford, Miss Ger ber will confer with Rufus Cate, 4-H club agent; Alf B. Mekvold, county school superintendent, and E. H. Hedrick, city school superintendent. and violation of ethics are like ly to become only weak crime preventives. It would appear most reason able to expect that crime and delinquency would decrease if it were possible to bring about a general improvement in the home life of the nation. The best available tool for building a bet ter home life is education, adult education for those who are mar ried and trying to make a good home, education in preparation for marriage for boys and girls in school. Relationship High The relationship between de linquency and dropping out of school is very high. Those adolescents who stay away from school are the raw materials out of which criminals might de velop. Schools must accept the responsibility of making their programs flexible enough to in terest and hold students. Boys and girls need real-life learning experiences to develop the . ha bitual behavior patterns of good citizens. Learning citizenship from a civics book and from the recitation of pledges is a poor substitute, if not actually con ductive to misunderstanding the nature of civic responsibility. The costs for the kind of schools that will serve all American youth are greater than what is now spent. Nevertheless,, i the cost of delinquency and crime resulting from school drop-outs were added to present educa tional costs, the difference be-: tween the price of'good schools few delinquencies" and" poor schools many delinquencies" probably would not amount to much.
