New Officers
Named for
PTA Co unci
Officers for the coming year
were elected at a meeting of
Medford Council of Parent
Teacher associations held March
3 at the YMCA. Mrs. Roland
Holmes, Washington school, was
elected president of the organi
zation. Vice-president is Mrs.
Lou Cranston, Roosevelt; Mrs.
J. J. Finnegan, Junior High
school and Mrs. Golden Noble,
Jackson, were elected junior
vice-presidents. Mrs. Lawrence
Crocker will be secretary and
Mrs. Austin Caldwell was elect
ed treasurer. Mrs. Crocker is
from Oak Grove school and Mrs
Caldwell from Lincoln-
The naminating committee
was Mrs. T. Turpin, chairman,
Mrs. Howard Hammond, and
Mrs. Ray Alder.
Mrs. William Ardry, presi
dent of the Medford Council of
PTA, reported on the legisla
tion workshop which she at
tended for the council at Salem
during January. She stated that
for the PTA to support any
type of legislation, it must be
brought before the state con
gress at convention and put in
to the platform of the congress.
New platforms are presented at
each convention, but sometimse
there are carryovers from one
year to the next. At present
the Oregon Congress is urging
support of several bills and the
defeat of one. Local units are
not required to support state
recommendations, but are asked
to present both sides of the ques
tion. Two bills that are given fa
vorable consideration by ' the
Oregon congress are SB172 and
SB173, which have to do with
the control of objectionable
comics and magazines. No. 173
which would prohibit dealers
from forcing retailers to take
objectionable items to get their
quota of the good magazines.
The other bill would set up an
advisory committee to study and
examine publications.
HB273 is another bill sup
ported by the PTA, as it would
raise the basic school support
fund from $80 to $90.
Another bill supported : by
PTA is the "pilot school bill,"
to provide special schools for the
mentally retarded and also for
exceptionally talented children.
It is HB337.
One of the pilot schools is at
Fhoenix. .
Two other bills also recom
mended by the Oregon Congress
are one for a minimum salary
for teachers and the other to
increase library service for
schools. People interested in the
passage of these bills are asked
to write their local, representa
tives and senators urging their
passage.
Oregon Congress opposes the
bill which would abolish the
physical and health examina
tions in the Oregon schools.
Even though some think the
present law not the best, they
feel it is unwise to abolish the
whole set-up. They urge the
defeat of SB302.
Mrs. John Benson reported
on the meeting held with Wayne
Durrell, chairman of juvenile
protection for the Oregon Con
gress of PTA. The meeting was
attended by local police, and
juvenile officers, advisor from
the schools, and by PTA mem
bers and parents.
Mr. Darrell stated that the
1953 national average was one
out of 43 children has a police
record, and that boys outnum
bered the girls 5 to 1. He stat
ed that the child first gets in
trouble with the police at
about 9 years of age on a na
tional average, and is first ar
rested at about 13 years. They
are most often arrested at
17 years o age, most often for
the illegal possession of liquor.
He stated that records show
that 90 per cent of teenagers in
trouble have a normal , IQ or
increased 12 per cent in the last
25 years and more than 50 per
better; juvenile offenses have
cent of the child criminals be
come adult criminals.. He
thought that in Oregon a bet
ter enforcement of the state cur
few law would probably help.

On Luxembourg ,
For Stamp Club "
Luxembourg was the program

on .the history, scenery and

years by Austria and Burgundy.
Later Spain took over and then
again it was under Austria. Fin
ally it was taken by France.
After the defeat of Napoleon, it
was divided between Belgium
and the Netherlands.
Luxembourg is a constitution
al monarchy ruled by the oldest
direct descendant, , either male
or female of the House of Nassau,
which is now Grand Duchess
Charlette who has ruled since
1919. Every person 21 or over
has the right to vote, and laws
are passed by a Chamber . of
Deputies of 51 members.
Luxembourg has many 'fine
semi-postal or charity stamps
showing historical places, of hon
oring famous people of that coun
try. The regular issues mostly
show the ruling grand duke or
duchess. Several beautiful com
memoratives have been issued
showing Luxembourg city and
other points of irrest.
Refreshments were served by
Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Lewis.
Mrs. George Modaff and Mrs.
Ed Sitton were guests.
