YMCA Youth Council Starting Third Year For Area Teenagers (Editor's note: This is other in a series of articles discussing agencies served by funds contributed to the Unit ed Medford Crusade.) The YMCA is continuously trying to help youth help them selves. The YMCA Youth Coun cil now at the start of its third fall season is dedicated to pro viding teen age youth with so cial activities with regularity and an ethical code of conduct. The planning and conduct of a dancing program for junior high on one night of a week end and senior high students on an other has taken the majority of the group's time. They decide everything from who is to install decorations, arrange for chaperones, get re corded music ready, to making change at the entrance where a 10 cent service fee is charged to cleaning up the hall when they are through. Working with a team of six adult couples and their chair man, and representatives from the student body of each school and from YMCA Hi Y and Tri Hi Y clubs, the group of 30 students can guarantee an al most continuous program of so cial activities throug the sum mer months as well as the winter. The program originated with former YMCA board members Lee Ragsdale and Frank Bash Jr. as chairman. Don Gordon now at Willamette university was last year's chairman and presently presiding is Jackie Colton. Mr. and Mrs. Jim Poole of Grand ave., served as adult ad visers last year, and Mr. and Mrs. H. D. McMasters have worked with the programs since June. Alex McDonald is the YMCA board 'member who helps see that youth representatives are properly elected or appointed to the group. Attendance at senior high YAlCA dances has been between 200 and 250 except after foot ball games when it is normal to expect some 400 more stu dents. Junior high attendance runs from 125 to 200 students. Moth ers and fathers of youngsters supply the majority cf chap erones although any parent is welcome to visit the dances. Plans of the youth council this year will include activities in the YMCA pool and gym nasium as well as dancing. Su pervision and equipment for such a program is made possible by contributions to the UMC.

Reviewing the new depart ment of interior regulations an nounced by Secretary of Inter ior Fred Seaton, Fay I. Bristol, president of the Oregon Mining association reminded miners that the new mining law amend ment contains provisions which make it possible for a mining claim owner to lose surface rights to his claim without even knowing that formal action has been taken. Program Started Under the provisions of the new law a program has already started whereby mining claims on lands on forest lands which were located prior to July 23, 1955, will be examined to de termine their validity as to whether proper discovery had been made, necessary assess ment work done, and other re quired details taken care of. Claim owners who do not as sert their rights and prove the validity of their claims, will not lose their mines, but the rights to the surface resources will revert to the federal gov ernment. Claim examinations are going ahead a small area at a time. So that a claimant may know when his area is scheduled for examination he should file with the county recorder a request for a copy of publication, Bris tol said. The request should set forth not only the name and address of the claimant, but the date of the location of his claim, the book and page in which it is re corded, and its location with ref erence to public land surveys. Bristol said claim owners should be sure the claim corne.v are properly marked, location notices are posted, and discov ery shafts are cleaned out so that discovery of mineral can be proven to a government min eral examiner. For a better understanding of rights under the new law a claim owner should obtain from the local forest service office the leaflet, "What Is the New Multiple Use Mining Law." Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Hollywood (U.R) U. S. movie fans may be startled when they see a movie about photog- r a p h y, "The Naked E y e," because the eye is not the only object in the film that is nude. For the first time in a Hol lywood film, female nudes Aline Mosby will be shown on the screen. And for the first time for any country's movies, Hollywood's own censor, the Johnston office, awarded its seal of approval to the picture, nudes and all. "The Naked Eye" nudes don't move. They are still, photographs made by famed lensman Edward Weston of models lying on 'sand dunes near his Monterey, Calif., home. "The Naked Eye", billed as the story of the "art and fun of photography," also shows the photography dressed of Alfred Eisenstaedt, Margaret Bourke White, Weegee, Dagu erre and other masters of the camera. The movie, a hot contender for the documentary Oscar next March, virtually was a one-man effort by Louis Stoumen. "I included the nudes because they are among the most beauti ful in the art of photography," explained Stoumen. "We hope Weston, the photographer, will be recognized as a major artist, another Rembrandt. "We thought the censors at the Johnston office would be ladies in fussy hats, but not at all. They were human beings. They thought it was an artistic and wholesome picture. "At first they said we couldn't have a seal because the produc tion code says no nudity. Then the head censors gave us the seal. He suggested we take out one of our own shots of Weston's nude model moving around his house." Stoumen wrote, directed, pro duced, photographed and edited the 71-minute unusual movie most of it in the tiny bedroom of an apartment he converted into his "motion picture studio." The picture has no actors, sets, costumes, 'or usual script. Two thirds of the movie doesn't "move" but consists of still photographs. Through camera tricks the photos appear to have action, a formula that has been used before for such art films as "The Titan." For the live action scenes, Stoumen's "actors" were real tourists taking snapshots in Washington and camera bugs buying equipment in stores. Stoumen took almost three years to make "The Naked Eye," taking time out to make educational and industrial mov ies and TV commercials to fi nance his pet project. 72 Iron Curtain Escapees Sail for United States Munich, Germany (U.R) Seventy-two men, women and children who have escaped from Communist countries leave here Thursday to start a new life in the United States. A plane chartered by the Inter-governmental Committee for European Migration will arrive in New York Friday morning with the escapees, including former Budapest publisher Las zlo Papp, who is writing a book on the Communist use of women for hard labor. Cash Farm Receipts Said Up 2 Per Cent Washington (U.R) The Agri culture Department said yester day a prospective "record high" total farm production has raised cash farm recepts nearly two per cent this year despite lower prices for agricultural products. Farmers received about $20.2 billion from farm marketings in the first nine months of. 1956, nearly two per cent 'more than the corresponding period of 1955, the department said in its publication. The Demand and Price Situation. This reflects a four per cent increase in the volume of farm marketing and a two per cent reduction in cash prices received. First Marine Corps Wives Reach States San Francisco (U.R) Sixty six wives and children cf Marines stationed in Japan have arrived here and angrily de nounced the Marine Corps edict ordering them to leave their menfolk and come home. , The 23 wives and' 43 children were the first group of Marine Corps dependents to come home urdcr the order that Marines in the Far East "must not be en cumbered by dependents" be cause they "must be in constant readiness to move elsewhere." "If we didn't leave, it was suggested that our husbands faced punitive action which might harm their careers," one wife said. The women asked reporters not to quote them by name be cause, said one, "the Marine Corys might possibly take it out on our husbands even now." The Orange County (N.Y.)
