o G TOTO MEBFORD (OREGON MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, Noyembtr 3, I93S Mothers, Children Receive Help from Volunteers Home (Editor's Note: This ii anoth er in a tsries of articles about about agencies which benefit from the fund drive of the United Medford Crusade, now under3 way. Material is fur nished by the agencies them selves.) The Volunteers of America Mothers' and Childrens' Home has as its purpose the preserving of family life by keeping moth ers and children together when ever it is possible. Hundreds of Oregon families have been helped to preserve or rebuild family unity and home life since the Mothers' and Childrens' Home was established in 1926. A typical example of their work is shown in the case of a mother of five children who was referred to the agency. Her children had been taken from her and placed in foster homes because of accusations of "unfit" mother charged by the father. It became evident that the charges were false and case workers gradually helped the mother shed her fears of her husband's threats by evaluating them against the realities in the situation. As the mother's problems were gradually met and handled her children joined her the the Mothers' and Childrens' Home. Eventually they moved ?nto a home of their own through the assistance of the agency. The happy ending to this mother's story was made pos sible through contributions to the United Medford Crusade.

The Community's Biggest Marketplace To Recover Money Portland OJ.R) A The Dalles rancher and his wife have filed suits in Multnomah County Cir cuit Court seeking to recover S135.000 spent to purchase In dian timber land in the Gold Beach area. The transaction later was de clared fraudulent. Plaintiffs in the two actions are Henry B. Taylor and his wife. They seek judgments of $60,976 against Jasper Grant, and $49,523 against Harold F.

' NVrit' 1 Gravy Ladle 1 Berry Spoon 1 Sugar Shell Youth in Politics Hatfield Subject In Talk at SOC Ashland Mark Hatfield, state legislator, spoke to students of Southern Oregon college Wednes day in an assembly program. His topic, "Youth in Politics" was developed by references to first round experiences encountered while on a tour of Europe In 1954. According to Hatfield, Europ ean youths take their politics a great deal more seriously than do those of this country, per haps out of sheer necessity. In contrast, it was pointed out, we vote for the man in our political type organization whereas they vote on the issue. This is par ticularly true in comparing the English and American systems. Unity Impossible Government by factions is the rule in France and Italy, it was cited, with a 'coalition of "strange bedfellows" necessary for the formation of a government. This, of course, tends to make a united, concerted governmental effort virtually impossible in those two countries. Then too, Hatfield declared, Communists take advantage of the coalition type of government and of the turmoil and disunity by staying unified themselves while exploiting it. Yugoslavia under the dicta torship of Tito was singled out for special attention by Hatfield when he lashed out at the regime with these words, "The Commu nists in Yugoslavia wanted us to Dr. Robert S. Hicks Speaker at Assembly Ashland Dr. Robert S. Hicks, authority on family relations, spoke in a special assembly at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon in the Southern Oregon college auditorium on the subject, "The Hazards of Courtship." Mixing humor with facts and actual case histories, Hicks de scribed the stumbling blocks to a successful courtship and mar riage as being such concepts as "The only one for me" ideal which some people use as a basis for success in choosing a mate; the "Falling in love at first sight" idea; the "Marrying on a basis of only one characteristic admired" which he described as' being an extremely fallacious post; the misinterpretation of sex attraction for real love" which he cited as being too often the case; and "Keeping the dating circle too small" thus weeding out suitable marriage partners from the picture at The very beginning. call their form of government 'Marxist socialism,' thinking that this made it seem less objection able to our American ears," he declared, "But actually Commu nism by any other name still smells the same." Poverty Noted Yugoslavia and Spain were described as being unbelievably poverty-stricken, with the ex ception of the startling contrast between the poor and the rich, the rich being exceptionally so and the poor being the vast ma jority of the people with no mid dle classes in evidence. j Germany's need as stated by the speaker is for young, rising leaders who can shake off the apathy engendered by two de feats and by the division of their country into two parts. He was particularly impressed, however, by the homage paid the six Ger mans who had tried to assassin ate Hitler and found much hope for the future of Germany in that attitude. Our two-party system of poli tics was pointed out as being vastly superior to the blind, in sensate devotion to a cause or a leader displayed by the youth of Europe whether that cause or leader was acting for the general good or not.
