'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
'. Fred Bruegger, Eagle Point,
was elected chairman ot the
council, succeeding Dr. William
J. Thompson. Mrs. C. B. Collins
was elected vice-chairman; Clif
ford JJ. Ouellette, treasurer; Mrs.
Bruce Bishop, Central point, sec
retary; Jim Armson, nominating
committee; and Mrs. John Ous
terhout, Eagle Point, publicity.
.In a . report on committee
achievements during the past
year, Henry DeVoss of the edu
cation committee e x p 1 a in e d,
findings of the committee's study
of local comic books. He said it
was found that most information
against comics was in the form
of opinion, and that it would
take accurate studies on a wide
scale before any actual dangers
of comic book reading are
known.
Dr. Alex Peterson of Southern
Oregon college told the group of
the recreation committee's pilot
study of Ashland's recreation
program, which was made to get
a picture of the county's recre
ational possibilities. The study
showed a need for good super-
to their fullest
There Is also a need, Dr. Peter
sen said, for more planned recre
ation during bad weather, and
for more adults. 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. She also ex
plained the purpose of the child
guidance clinic and reported on
the mental health committee's
plan to further a family counsel
ing service here. - . i
The program to find more fos
ter homes for youth agencies in
the county was discussed by Mrs.
Victor Birdseye of the child wel
fare committee. She said knowl
edge of what makes a good1 fos
ter home is growing locally, but
that there is a greater need 'for
a concept of what makes happy
homes for children so mat tney
may remain, in their own homes.
Mrs. M. O. Groves gave a snort
report from the health services
committee and Alex McDonald
explained the youth employment
program of the council and pub
lic schools. ...
Detention Home Need
The need for a Jackson county
iuvenile detention home was ex
plained by Francis Durante, so
liciting finance chairman," wno
declared that the present prac
tice of placing juveniles in the
county jail creates a dangerous
situation greatly in need of
change. .
H. Dewey Wilson, Medford at
torney, demonstrated weakness
es in Oregon's laws pertaining to
children, and declared that the
state needs a uniform children's
code. He encouraged more ef
forts toward securing legislation
giving Oregon a code similar to
the federal standard act, with
modifications.
A report on special education
needs was made by Dr. Donald
M. Wilson, head of the speech
correction center at SOC. He said
that in Jackson county schools
generally there are no provisions
for a "slow learner." There is a
great need, according to Dr. Wil
son, for proper evaluation of
why a -child does not progress
normally at school and for ther
apists to aid children when their
real problems are found.
Chapter Formed Here
Dr. Alva W. Graham told the
group of the International Coun-,
cil for Exceptional Children, re
porting that a local chapter was
