Child Growth, Development
Study in Progress Here
child growth and develop- purposes can be obtained.
iv.cnt study is being conducted in
the Medford public schools by
the University of Orezon. South
ern Oregon college, and the Chi
cago Athletic institute
The study, which will include
approximately 560 boys from 7
to 17 years of age, will empha
size the traits of boys who make
organized athletic teams.
Dr. H. Harrison Clarke, re
search professor for school of
health and physical education,
University of Oregon, is princi
pal investigator for these tests.
Miss Kay Petersen, also of the
Tests Listtd
Boys, whose birth dates fall
between Aug. 22 and Dec. 24.
will participate in a series of
physicial tests and measure
ments during the week of Oct.
22-26. This series will include
such tests as hand grip strength,
leg and arm strength, height,
weight, chest girth, lung capa
city, wrist X-ray and others.
Special attention will be giv
en to the changes and- adjust
ments occurring during adoles
cence. One of the most controversial
problems confronting physical
university, will serve as gradu- (educators today, Dr. Clarke add-
te assistant assigned to super- ed, is the wide utilization of or
vising the project, Theodore
Schopf, Southern Oregon college
will train the testers. Lee Rags
dale is in charge of general ar
rangements in Medford.
Study Divided
East of the institutions will be
responsible for a certain part of
the study and each will contri
bute to its financial support.
Medford was chosen for this
tudy for two reasons. The local
school officials showed a strong
interest in the study to the point
of aiding it financially, and the
Medford schools have organized
inter-school athletics starting in
the early grades. This permits a
contrast of traits studied in the
late elementary school grades.
The public school boys will be
selected for the study by random
methods. Any boy making ath
letic teams not selected will be
included so the maximum num

Around
Hollywood
By ALINI MOSBY
United Press Correspondent
Hollywood (U.R) Nanette
Fabray faces a crucial test next
week: Can the pretty young
singer - com
edienne and
Emmy winner
go it alone
without S i d
Caesar?
Pug - nosed
Nanette will
make her first
TV appear
ance Nov. 1
Aline Motor since she
and Caesar were "divorced" in
June.
She'd been a star in musical
comedy and nightclubs before
she met Mr. C, but she wasn't
a top luminary until she and
Sid began trading domestic
quips.
But, as it comes to all Sid's
wives, the two did not see eye-to-eye.
Like Imogene Coca, Nan
ette left the show to go on her
own and Janet Blair became
Mrs. Caesar No. 3.
Sketch Planned
In her solo appearance, Nan
ette will sing and do a comedy
rketch with Jack Benny, Johnny
Ray and Bob Crosby on a CBS
TV "Shower of Stars."
"It's so important for me to
do well on this show," she said
modestly before a rehearsal "If
I fall on my face it will be my
own fault. Strangely enough, I
hope by now people have for
gotten I was with Sid."
During the summer they
didn't. Her mail was "very vio
lent, people either strongly in
favor of my leaving or strongly
opposing it."
"People stopped me on the
street," she said. "They'd say,
'Oh, you poor dear, whatever
will you do now?' or, 'How dare
you leave him'!"
"A psychiatrist told me peo
ple have such identification with
TV that they felt when Sid and
I broke up that it could happen
to them."
Hot Property
Another reaction to the "di
vorce" is that Nanette is a hot
property to the gray-suited TV
executives on Madison Avenue
"But I'm not overwhelmed,"
she said with a business-like
shrug that comes from having
been a performer since she was
3. "It's funny you're either hot
or you're not. I've been up and
down so many times it doesn't
bother me any more.
"Now that I'm hot I have the
choice of practically every show
plus many domestic series, but
I haven't found any series script
I like yet," she said. "I'd like
to do movies, stage shows, dra
matic TV, anything I like. I'm
just going to see what comes
along and hope that people ac
cept me again by myself." '

Quotes From the News
By UNITED PRESS
Paris Polish ex-Premier Stanislaw Mikolaczyk, saying that it
would be unwise for the United States to grant unrestricted aid to
Wladyslaw Gomulka, leader of Poland's new "liberal" regime:
"Gomulka is a ruthless Communist. When he was in power
(after World War II) he did not hesitate to throw 100,000 political
opponents into jail to engineer Communist victory in the 1947
elections."
En Route with Nixon Vice President Nixon, discussing the
GOP campaign in military terminology:
"The next two weeks will be the weeks of the mop up, while
the Democrats attempt to regroup their forces."
Rock Springs, Wyo. Sen. Estes Kefauver, saying Democrats
assume what "political risk" is involved in being placed on the
same side of the H-bomb issue as the Russians:
"We should not be against something just because somebody
we don't like happens to be for it."
New York Harlow H. Curtice, president of General Motors,
reporting on an expanding European market for automobiles:
"It is very clear that people in Europe want good comfortable
transportation. Just as they do in the United States."
Fort Worth Former Oklahoma Gov. Johnston Murray on why
he refuses to divulge where his third wife, whom he just married
and who was called "the other woman" in his second divorce, is
teaching:
"I don't want her job jeopardized."

The Family Council
Editor'! not,: The Family Council consists of a Judge, a psychiatrist,
three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers
Earn article is a summary of an actual report. The Family Council does no!
,ive advice; It merely reports on problems that hava been dealt with by
responsible agencies and counselors.
Mrs. T.J. I want my children
to enjoy luxury once in a
while.
Mr. T.J. Why give them a
taste for things they can't have?
Mrs. T.J My husband is not
doing very well financially. We
live in a cramped apartment in
a poor neighborhood. We have
three children, ranging from sev
en to 13 years of age.
My sister and her husband hap
pen to be extremely wealthy. My
sister is generous to all of us,
gives the children many gifts
and often invites us to her home
for a week at a time.
When we return from these
visits, however, there is always
a terrible letdown. Our home
looks so sad and shabby. The
children are depressed and my
oldest daughter has cried be
cause we don't even have a de
cent carpet and she can't have
her own room. My husband feels
that we ought not to expose the
children to the wealth of my sis
ter's home, but I feel they have
so little in life' that I want to
give them some of the pleasures
of luxury even for a little
while.
Mr. T.J. I do not believe In
giving my children luxury for
brief visits because it is very
unsettling. I have always made
it a point not to get used to any
thing I can't afford.
My sister-in-law and her hus
band are really at the opposite
extreme from is. I know many
people who are just as wealthy
(or wealthier) who are not as
lavish in the way they live. I
would not mind our children vis
iting rich relatives, if the rela
tives were not laying things on
so thick.
Their generosity is not ' con
structive but mostly showy, and
suggests extravagance and irre
sponsibility. When we visit them,
we have to make a special effort
to dress well, but I've never no
ticed that they make any effort
to meet us halfway, with a little
restraint and modesty.
Even if they were poor and
shiftless and wasteful, I would
not want my children to be af
fected by their example.
The Council: These parents
place far too much importance
on material possessions and far
too little on human values, and
their children are evidently re
flecting their attitude. The par
ents talk of the luxuries they en
joy in their aunt's home, but
nothing of the contact with their
cousins, their aunt and their un-"
uncle all of which mean much
more to normal children.
"Our home looks so sad and
shabby," says Mrs. T. J. That is
the way it appears to her and
she can be sure that the children
catch the sadness of her expres
sion as she looks about her home.
Children don't look at things
in quite that way. They may feel
a twinge of envy for a toy or a
dress some other child possesses
but it is as likely to be some
thing belonging to the kid down
the block as to their wealthy
cousins. In any case, they don't
brood about it, unless they have
been encouraged to do so by
their parents.
Mr. T. J. cites a much more
valid criticism when he objects
that his relatives are ostentatious
and showy in their generosity. If
that is really his reason and not
just another argument, then he
should stop complaining about
their wealth.
It will not harm the children
of poor parents to visit wealthy
relatives, but it may harm them
to visit graceless and cheap rela
tives. However, it is not clear
from T.J.'s comment whether he
really understands why he ob
jects. (Copyright 1956, General
