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.
A considerable portion of the
funds 60 per cent will be re
tained in Oregon for research
grants at medical schools and
colleges, for training, public ed
ucation and information.
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.

By D. G. 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,

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.

A TRIBUTE
TO OUR PRIESTS!
As we rush through tho days in this modern
tempo of Twentieth Century living, let us pause
now and then and thank God for those patient,
consecrated fathers of the Catholic Church
whose lives are devoted to things of the spirit.
They are truly the shepherds of today ....
leading, comforting, feeding their flocks with
spiritual sustenance ... administering to the
poor . . . and carrying on the work of our Holy
Father. Our community is a better place in which
to live and worship because of these men of the
cloth. They richly deserve the plaudits and sup
port of all of us. We salute our Roman Catholic
churches and their understanding priests!
