t Family Life To Be Topic For Council Medford Council of Church Women is preparing for the an nual May Fellowship day lunch eon iet for Friday, May 6 at 1 p. m. at First Presbyterian church. Miss Elizabeth Burr is luncheon chairman. Mrs. J. R. Sides has charge of the program on the theme, "The Responsible Christian Family." The May Fellowship day spot lights some area needing united community action, it is said. United church women believe "the family circle is our first drill ground for Christian char acter." Since juvenile delin quency has increased 45 per cent in the past five years, church women throughout the world this year will discuss such questions as where does wrong begin, and what are we doing for our fam ily? Are we making our homes a real construction plant for worth-while living? Who is re sponsible for the teen-agers trouble, trouble which often terminates in court. Church lead ers state that children don't "just grow" into responsible citizens, but must be trained for citizen ship. A portion of the offering and the luncheon proceeds go to help the Christian education work in Jackson county among our youth.
