,1 t 1 I Vheal Farmers " Reminded of 1955 Acreage Allotments Talbert Sehorn, secretary of the Jackson county Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation committee, today reminded wheat growers of 1955 allot ments and asked farmers grow ing wheat without allotments to report acreages to the ASC com mittee. Sehorn said measurement of 1955 acreage will start soon and be completed by June 1. Any excess wheat should be disposed of by June 15 by pasturing, cut ting for green hay or plowing under, he said. Excess fields will be checked Starting June 15. ProTisiont Told Farmers may grow as much as 15 acres of wheat without an allotment, Sehorn pointed out. But if more than 15 acres is harvested, penalties will be im posed on the number of acres over the allotment or on all 16 or more acres if the grower has no allotment. Farmers who are interested in price supports or the agricultural conservation program must stay within allotments, even if grow ing less than 15 acres, Sehorn said. Albert Straus, chairman of the committe, reminded wheat grow ers that wheat marketing cards were necessary to- sell wheat, and marketing cards cannot be obtained until after acreage has been measured.

Wednesday, April 13, 1955''- MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Guidance Clinic Film Draws Interest at Showings Here The film, "Angry Boy," shown by the Southern Oregon Child Guidance Clinic associa tion this week to two groups brought forth much interest in child guidance clinic work, asso ciation officers said today. Another film, "Childrens Emo tions," will be available the week of April 18 to 25 for use of any group of 12 or more peo ple. Arrangements can be made to show and discuss the film by telephoning 3-3174. At a general meeting in the YMCA Monday, a small group saw the film and discussed the meaning of anger and stealing, the clinic's way of helping solve the problems with the boy and his parents, and the way the clinic staff plan and work to gether. In this picture the psy chiatrist sees the boy, Tommy, briefly in play interviews, while the social worker talks with the mother to help her work out her own feelings and come to use better ways of handling Tommy. The clinical psychologist gave Tommy several tests which helped the phychiatrist to know Tommy and his problems better. There was also discussion about the need for the father to come to the clinic for help. Roy Tibbetts, supervisor of child welfare for the Jackson County Public Welfare commis sion, led the discussion of the film. The picture was used for the Junior Service League's April country club. Mrs. Jane Carpen ter, president of the Clinic asso ciation, led the discussion. The league, which sponsors the Hard of Hearing kindergarten, showed interest in the way a clinic is organized, how to build and maintain clinic services, and the way a clinic helps a child with an emotional problem.
