ISS4 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TMBUWE EVZW 'Faith for Living' Said Need By Speaker for Youth Council Though Americans live in world with more material, pos sessions than have kings In past ages, they are more insecure than ever in history, Dr. Ger trude Boyd Crane of Pacific uni versity told the fourth annual meeting of the Jackson County Council for Children and Youth last week. More than BO representatives of county organizations Interest ed in better understanding of youth attended the all-day ses sion at the YMCA. "It is a faith for living which we must have, if we are to sur vive," she declared, in a speech on 'contributing to a satisfac tory life pfiilosophy for youth." Cites "Sick Society" We are seeking relaxation from a common strain, but bve used unsuccessful sensational outlets, she said, and increased education has failed to heal the "sick society." Stating that a "lack of a phil osophy of life" is the cause of all our problems, Dr. Crane said the answers lay In spiritual values of enduring worth. We must also present a more endur ing education for our 'children; face seriously a need for learn ing discipline; and must be in dividuals who will make deci sions against already established standards. . - . She said the fellowship of man must be more vital and real, and that small groups of "committed people can produce great things," by reaching out to all men who need. , ' Officers Named '.

He commended the YMCA for what the commit tee found to be the best single contribution to recreation in this area. . Parent Discussion Groups Mrs. Henry Padgham, chair man of the council's child guid ance services committee, re ported that approximately 15 parent discussion groups are in action under the county mental health committee.
