AS W LlVQ By Environment Is Elamed For Most Delinquency With all the emphasis today on the prevalence of juvenile delinquency, there is a question in the minds of of many as to whether "bad ness'' is inher ited or comes as the result of environment. Many people s t r ongly be lieve that ''goodn ess" Dr. Hurlock ana oaaness are inherited just as hair or eye color is, and they point to the parents of juvenile delinquents as proof. Many children who are delinquent unquestionably have parents who themselves have been delinquent or are adult criminals. On the other hand, tfiere are many children who are "bad" and yet whose parents are law abiding cM.izens. Furthermore, there is no record of "badness" on either side of the family. JSpw, then, can such cases be explained by heredity? The whole problem of rela- tivL effectiveness of heredity and "environment is still one of tile unsolved problems of science. However, evidence today is much heavier on the side of en3ronment. Behavior Not Inherited In the area of behavior, there is little or no evidence that spe cific forms are inherited. This, then, would include the behavjor classed as "good" or bad." On the other hand, such inherited tendencies as low intelligence and certain forms of insanity, both of which predispose the per son to "badness" are inherited. Most people who are "bad" in the sense they do things so ciety considers wrong are the products of bad environment. Sometimes they live in slum areas where they are deprived of many things children need for healthy mental and physical growth. On the other hand, they may have the material possessions of life but still have "bad" envir onments because they lack love O CASH IN Now Offered Of Close-Out Items Fine Maple Furniture!

LETTERS FROM READERS "Hard luck stories: "Why do so many people iell you all about their troubles? Don't Ihey real ize that everyone has troubles and that Ihey are not the only ones?" D.R. (A) People who like to pour out tales of woe to others are looking for sympathy and at tention. A "hard luck story," they have discovered, is one of the quickest and easiest ways to get these. You will generally find the people who sob the hard est are the ones who are so self centered and selfish they do not bother to think about others. As a result, they do not stop to con sider the possibility others might have troubles too. Home rudeness: "My husband has perfect manners when he is with outsiders, and they regard him as a gentleman io his finger- lips. But, at home he doesn't bother with manners and is often very rude io me and the chil dren. I resent this bitterly but what can I do?" L.P. (A) Have you ever pointed out to your husband how hurt you are by his lack of--respect and consideration for you and the children? And, have you ever stressed the fact that reserving his good manners for company is unfair to his family? If he refuses to treat you and the children courteously, why not try giving him a taste of his own medicine and see how he likes it? Dependency: "My mother, who is nearing 60, is getting more and more dependent upon her family. If she doesn't ask Dad to do this or that for her, she turns to one of her children. Shouldn't this be discouraged before it becomes a habit? A. D. (A) I doubt very much if you can discourage your mother's dependency on her family. Most people, as they grow older, turn to others for help and advice. If they do not receive these, they are likely to feel helpless and "lost." (COPYRIGHT 1956, GENERAL FEATURES CORP.)

CHRISTINA H. MARSHALL Savage Creek-Rogue River The residents along Rogue river, victims of the recent flood, are digging out their homes and sal vaging as much of their house hold goods and belongings as was not hopelessly damaged by water and mud. The lack of complaining is amazing. Most of them are thankful that their lives were spared. In view of the extended damage and desolation left be hind many wonder how lives were spared. Most agree that they were hit pretty hard but hasten to say that they were grateful it was no worse and that there were others who lost everything. I talked to some of the latter and it was heartbreak ing, but it was their wish not to be mentioned in the news. Mr. and Mrs. Leister Savage and their four children lived just south of Chuck and Monty's. Their residence was damaged and a garage and all its contents was lost. They are renting a house on Savage creek rd. and will move back to their house as soon as it is fit for occupancy. Savage is a great-grandson of the Savages for whom Savage creek was named. Chuck and Monty's place on the river was totally destroyed except for two small buildings, pump or tool houses. The Bluebird motel was total ly destroyed. A. L. Larson, a resident of Savage creek, and his partner, Roy Dell, were working out of town. They were driving the company paint truck home. They left it at Savage Rapids dam and waded through water up to their armpits to get to Savage Creek rd., a distance of about one-eighth of a mile. Dell res cued a woman marooned in the high water in her car and helped her to a nearby house. The paint truck was greatly damaged by water. Mrs. William Quiggle and son of Savage creek have recently recovered from pneumonia. Both were hospitalized. Mr. and Mrs. Jim Martin and two sons, who have lived on Savage creek for nearly a year, are leaving soon for Eureka, Calif., where Martin has con tracted to build tourist cabins. Mr. and Mrs. Martin are the parents of Mrs. A. L. Larson. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Smiley, who operate Smiley's Superette mar ket at the junction of Savage Creek rd. and 99 Highway South, are in Portland this week, be cause of the death of his grand mother. The Smileys are expect ed back by the end of the week. Mrs. Pat Larson of Savage creek is tending store for them in their absence. Mrs. Ethel Grooms, mother of Gail Grooms of Rogue River, passed "away after a long illness Dec. 19 at a Medford hospital. Memorial services were held Dec. 23 at Hull and Hull chapel in Grants Pass. Mr. and Mrs. Donald Gruber of the Tinv Spot cafe on 99 High way south at Junction of Rogue River have just reopened their cafe after being flooded out. They received a telegram from Long Beach telling of the pass ing of his father, and left Thurs day. His mother is an invalid. The cafe is open for business dur LET BEAUTY CULTURE BE YOUR CAREER!

Bob Wedlock of Bob's Texaco at the Rogue River and Highway 99 South junction has reopened for business. The water was sev eral feet deep in the station and reached a height of 31 inches in his home in back of the station. He said that he had not been able to estimate his loss, but it was severe. Gails Market at the junction, was also severely damaged. It was said that the water was six feet deep at that point. He lost much of his stock by water and mud damage. They held a sal vage sale of the balance of stock That has now been disposed of and Bob Gail says that they will remodel the store, get all new stock and be open for business again in about two weeks. All businesses in that particu lar area suffered flood damage Some of the motels lost some of their cabins. One cabin from the Knotty Pine motel was swept fram its foundation and came to rest in a field about a half mile below. How it got through the large trees is a mystery. Lum ber, which had been stacked in front of Ernie's Builders supply, was scattered on both sides of the highway. Houses along the river suffer ed the most severely. Some were totally destroyed, just splintered wood remaining Furniture and belongings were hopelessly damaged by the flood. Refrigerators and TV sets were swept out of houses and floated away. Dr. Chance's office build ing on 99 Highway south was in 31 inches of water.

Impulse Purchasers Account for Much of Housewives' Buying Washington (U.PJ Almost half of the frozen foods sold at the nation's supermarkets are bought on "impulse," the U. S. Fish and Wildlife marketing service saysl Impulse buying of seafoods amounted to slightly more than 60 per cent while impulse buy ing of all frozen foods averaged 48.6 per cent, the service said. The figures were obtained in a special survey conducted by pne of the largest industrial com panies in the nation, the market ing service said. The purchases of 5,338 shop pers who bought 68,000 items were checked in 250 supermar kets in 35 cities. Purchases were found to have been ' made in four different ways: 1. Specifically planned; 2. planned in a general way; 3 pur chased as substitutes; 4. pur chased without previous plan, or on impulse. The marketing service also said the shopping list has become less important to housewives. The survey found that only about 20 per cent of the shoppers had complete, written lists, ,16 per cent had partial lists and about ....mem PRICES CUT . . -..e "lON FULL SIZE -0ioret! sheets cpfj SA? - Vards rB caVin-sm00,, v 3.98 CHENILLE SPREAD.
