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

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."

SAVAGE CREEK-ROGUE
Flood Victims
.By MRS. 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

Digging Out
ing their absence.
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
