BffliciiHies off Young People Traced to Sources by Speaker For MU Guidance Meeting - Trends and patterns of modern i day living which cause problems i among children and youth were discussed by Mrs. Joy Hills Gub- er, assistant superintendent of the state department of educa tion, at the second annual meet ing of the Southern Oregon Child Guidance Clinic association. Members of the association, meeting last night at St. Mark's Guild hall, also elected officers and heard reports. Mrs. Dunbar Carpenter presided. The session was preceded by a social hour. Elected for three-year board terms were Elliott Becken, Mrs. Roland Holmes, Mrs. Dwight Houghton, Mrs. Earl Lawson, all Medford; Mrs. John Bohnert, Central Point; Dr. Alva Graham, Ashland and Mrs. W. H. Young, Eagle Point. Others Named The Rev. Robert Greene, Pros pect, was named to a one-year term to complete that of the Rev. A. R. Render, Prospect, who has moved, and John Graff, Med ford, was elected for a two-year term to replace Mrs. John Bee man. Mrs. Gubser said the chief causes of problems among youth are the changing patterns of liv ing, and that the average per son is unaware of these changes. She listed the manner in which citizens can now "move around" over the entire nation, new pat terns of discipline, the decline of . the stabilizing influence of re ligion, the amount of sex knowl edge possessed by young people, the new "age of permissiveness," the increased amount of time spent away from home and the changing standard of ethics in this country. Me Longer Deterrent Elaborating on the lack of re ligious influence, Mrs. Gubser aid that in times past, young people were deterred from wrong-doing by the fear of going to hell, and she added, "you don't scare kids with that any more they demand proof that you know what you're talking bout." Speaking of the new age of permissiveness, Mrs. Gubser mentioned late hours, the matter of clothes, parties and dates, and aid parents seem uncertain as to what their role if and are often dominated by the young people. She said parents are now starting to "give one another support," and cited the instance of Portland parents holding a ' meeting to decide at what hours young people should be required to return home after social events. Working Women Cited The increased standard of liv ing in this nation, along with in flation, have made it necessary for more than one-third of the nation's women to work outside the home, she said. This condi tion is not expected to improve, but to worsen, she added. Talking about the changing standards of ethics, Mrs. Gubser said "it's kind of hard to know what is honest and what is dis honest now," and added that children wonder why slot ma chanies are illegal and pari-mu ' tuel betting is not. Mrs. Gubser also mentioned the increasing importance of ma terial possessions evident in this nation. She said that materialism of children and young people is only a reflection of the attitudes of their parents and the com munity. Contributing Factors She listed poor homes, pov erty, neglect by parents, poor discipline, immorality, emotion ally disturbed parents, lack of religion and inadequate schools as- factors contributing to delin quency. On the other side of the picture Mrs. Gubser listed good homes, assurance to children that they are wanted by the parents, the spending of time with the children, early discipline, relig ious education, and a good en- Dalewood (even at "icebox temperatures"!)

About 100 persons from all legislators Report (Do. decent Session) At Chamber Meeting Three Medford legislators briefly reviewed their work on committees at the recent session of the state senate and house before the Jackson county Chamber of Commerce round table in the Jackson hotel yes terday. State Sen. Philip B. Lowry, Reps. E. A. Littrell and E. H. Mann, and Representative W. W. Chadwick, Salem, were guests at the luncheon. Senator Lowry, a member of the assessment and taxation committee, told the group that the cost of government opera tion has increased from $14,000, 000 in the 1935-36 biennium to more than $200,000,000 for the present biennium. He pointed out that looking for $62,000,000 was the committee's "toughest job." Other Committees Other committees on which Senator Lowry served during the legislature included elec tions and privileges, judiciary and roads and highways. The only major legislation to come out of the judiciary committee, he said, was the administrative procedures act, which sets a standard form of procedure. representative L,mreii, vice- chairman of the house highways committee, said another survey may be made this summer on a proposed Medford-Klamath-Falls highway. Senator Lowry pointed out that one survey has been made, but the state high way commission has given it no serious consideration "because it is relatively low. on the pri ority list." Senator Lowry said the senate roads and highways committee would reconsider a survey by a new team on the proposed route. Rep. Littrell pointed out that the committees cannot place recommended highways on the priority list, which is made up by the highway commission. Rep. Littrell, a member of commerce and utilities and la bor and industries committees as well as roads, said the unem ployment bill, which was "re built" on the floor of the house, was the toughest bill before the committee. The bill later passed the house.

No Bills The social welfare committee, he said, met just once, but not a single bill was introduced or submitted to the committee, Bills in the other committees, he said, were generally correc tive measures to strengthen pres ent laws. Rep. Mann said he though the legislature tms session dia a good job," and added that he "would like to have the sales tax go to the people." He point ed out there are things he does not like about the bill, but "I think it should have gone to the people.
