Phone GR 6-3649 Grants Pass, Oregon Annual Luncheon Of Church Women Is Well Attended More than 250 attended the annual May Fellowship day luncheon and program given May 6 at First Presbyterian church. This yearly event is sponsored by Medford Council of Church Women, of which Mrs. J. Claude Sparks is president. Mrs. J. R. Sides, chairman, pre sided and Mrs. Sparks greeted the group. Mrs. Milton H. Akerill, Grants Pass, speaking on "The Respon sible Christian Family," stressed the great importance of Chris tian parents today and the re sponsibility the mother has in building the foundation for the Christian home. The aim of a Christian father and mother is to develop character instead of crime, she said, and added that if we have enough good homes, we will have a good world. The attitudes of the parents make lasting impressions on the chil dren, she declared. "In this busy world today, with radio, TV and the many other activities, family life with a get to-gether at the evening meal, saying grace with the family seated around the table and discussing the family affairs of the day, has been lost in many homes, the speaker said. Even in many homes the mother has not time or does not take time to read or have bed time prayers with her children, and then wonders at the great juvenile problem confronting the nation today, the speaker said. Every Christian parent must be a missionary to her own child; all cannot be left to the Sunday school teacher, with less than one hour a week for train ing, Mrs. Akerill continued. Children learn fast and observe their parents closely, Mrs. Ake rill said, and cautioned mothers to consider three things before repeating "gossip," is it true, is it kind and is it necessary. She added that if the remark cannot be justified on this basis, it should be left unsaid. She quoted J. Edgar Hoover in saying "prevention of crime begins in the high chair." Dis cipline of a child should start early in life, the speaker said, and added that by three years of age, a child knows the, dif ference between right and wrong. In closing she urged parents not to be "stingy" with their time when it came to family life. Miss Verna Cingcade told of her work as a teacher of Bible in the Medford public schools, stating that about 1700 children are attending classes, or about 86 per cent of the children in that age group. When a child completes the full, three-year course, which is only available in a few schools at present, the whole Bible will have been cov ered, she said. Miss Cincade was introduced by the Rev. Donald Whitney, president of the Jackson County Board of Christian Education. The exceptionally elaborate decorations for the event were the work of a committee headed by Mrs. Charles W. Lemery and Mrs. A. C. Pierce. Room decor ations were large arrangements of spring flowering shrubs, and the table decorations were of ivy and blue flowers accented with blue bows.
