Drn Berry of the county ex
tension staff and Robert Avery
O of the Oregon State college en
tomology department presented
facts about insect pests that
C plague many homes. They men
tioned four classes of pests: per
O manent guests such as . coclt-
roaches, boarders that Hve in
the pantry, personal and- pet
C parasites sueh as fleas and the
casual visitors such as crickets,
bees end wasps. Knowing the
three or four stages of each in
sect's hfj. cycle helps one recog
nize the pest and enables the
housewife to acplv the most ef-
O C fective control, it was said.

I cording to Mrs. Poe. HEC first
' place winners whose entries
, went to Portland were Mrs. Nora
Wait. Gold Hill, first in berry
canning: Mrs. Earl Croft, Griffin
j Creek, first in tree fruits and
; Mrs. Clyde Sturgill. Griffin
j Creek first in jelly making.
I Mrs. Poe points out that the
j contest is only one of the proj
I ects which occupy the attention
of HEC club members in Jack
Ison county. Thirteen of the 13
subordinate Granges of the coun
ty have Home Economics clubs,
which operate as auxiliaries to
the main organization. Assisting
Mrs. Poe in her work as chair
man are Mrs. Paul Force of
Eagle Point and Mrs. Barney
Lewin, Medford.
The separate women"s clubs
give dinners and other benefits
to raise funds needed for the
Grange halls, and in recent years
have contributed to the national
muscular dystrophy fund, the
Red Cross and other funds of
this nature.
Members of one or two Home
Economics clubs go to Camp
White twice a month and do
mending for tne veterans, others
raise money for CAPlE packages,
many have pen pals and others
collect old spectacles, frames,
otc, which are sent to Eyes for
the Needy. Inc. In connection
with CARE, members of the
HEC have helped to buy sewing
machines for the use of women
in underprivileged countries.
Through such contests as the
White Satin Sugar canning con
test, they have promoted the use
of Oregon products.
One of the more recent pro
grams taking the attention of
HEC members is a safety cam
paign sponsored by the gover
nor of the state. The state com
mittee, of which Mrs. Eva Stone
and Mrs. Mabel Mack, formerly
of Medford. are members, chose
Jackson and Douglas counties for
a survey of farm accidents to be
reported through extension units
and HEC members. Through the
information gained, it is believed
an effective farm safety program
can be formulated.
After attending the finals in
the White Satin sugar contest,
Mrs. Poe then attend annual
state conference for women in
civil defense work in Oregon.
The conference will be held in
Salem beginning Friday.

BURELSON'S
SHOE SALON
Main & Bart I eft
A tew mornings ago I was having
a tough time with this particular cus
tomer. She's one of my favorite people
because she has such wonderful taste
in shoes. About once a month she
comes into the store to see what's
new, and I've learned to listen to her
reactions what she says usually is a
Q9od barometer of what a lot of
women around town are thinking
about shoe.
This day, however, she seemed up
set. None of the new shoes I put on
her foot fit her. I've never sold her
anything but size 8 in AA width, but
suddenlvall the 8-AAs I tried on were
too long, or too wide, or too some
thing. She kept, insisting that what
she really needed was 7-AA. I
couldn't, figure out what was wrong
until she said, "You know, the tight
skirted, slim fashions look better
when your feet look small and trim,
too."
We talked casually while, and
then in what I hoped was a subtle,
offhand way I asked, "Ever hear how
the Chines got started on binding
ihe feet of new-born girl babies so
that they would stav small?" She
shock her "head, so I to'd her.
In jt bout the year 1200, the Chi
nese get a new errraress, Taki. Un
fortunately, Taki had reen born with
dub feet of abnormally small size.
When she "was crowned empress, in
order to a'Oid embarrassment to her
because of her deformed feet, it was
decreed .that all ladies of the court
must have -feet as small as Her Royal
Highness. Immediately,- out of loyalty
to their empress, Chinese mothers be
gan the custom of tightly binding the
feet of infant girl babies to prevent
normal growth.
Net so subttv, I added that rrtavbe
this accounfed for the fetish prevalent
among many women to try to squeeze
their perfectly normal-sized feet into
shoes too small and too tight. I sup
pose I wasn't very subtle, and I won
dered whether I'd ever see this parti
cular woman in my store again.
All she did was look me right in
the eye, sighed a little and in a clear,
happy voice said, "I like that new
shoe right there. Do you have it in j
my jize 8-AA?" Adv.

Special Education Program
Part of State School System
The program of special edu
cation for handicapped children
is relatively new in Oregon, al
though the larger cities have
! conducted classes for physically
I handicapped children for a much
i longer period than has the state,
j In 1941 the Legislature author
ized a state-wide survey to de
termine how many handicapped
I children there were who would
! require special education serv
! ices to acquire their common
school education. This survey,
concluded in 1943, did not in
clude mentally retarded.
Although many states have for
many years, some for as many
as forty years, conducted classes
for the slow learning, Oregon
did not initiate such a plan until
the 1953 Legislature when that
body, stearing its course from
the Holy Report of 1951, appro
priated the sum of 515,000 to
conduct a study of the education
al needs of mentally retarded
and gifted children in Oregon,
the probable cost of such educa
tion, and the cost of training
for this type of teaching.
Medford city schools have had
special classes for some time
under the direction of Miss
School Announces
Visitation Day
In Jacksonville
Jacksonville A Parent Visi
tation day" will be held Wednes
day, November 14, in the Jack
sonville public schools.
During the day parents are
invited to visit the classrooms,
take part in the classroom pro
cedures, and to stay all day to
acquaint themselves with ' the
children's school play.
During these parent visitation
days there will not be confer
ences between the teachers and
the parents. Present plans are to
arrange one of these visitation
days each month.
A PTA panel discussion will
be held on "Community Eack
ing and Spirit." Panel members
will include Leland I. - Harter,
Mrs. Otto Heckert, E. O. Gra
ham and John J. Crabb.
Included in the discussion will
be such question as "what is the
relation of the school and com
munity in developing school
spirit?" "community spirit
school spirit, are they the same?
Different? How?" and "what
community activities help build
school spirit? What should it be
based on?"

Louise Basford. Not until 1953,
did the county embark upon a
program . of education for the
children who were unable to
keep up the pace of the regular
classroom but who were educa
ble. Two classes are in operation
on a county-wide basis at Talent
taught by Karl Hayes and Mrs.
Kay Baalman. Ashland has a spe
cial education department direct
ed by Mrs. Frances Klein.
Classes for the slow learning
are held to about half the size
of the regular classes and the
curriculum is built around their
every day experiences and en
vironment. The basic subjects of
reading, writing, arithmetic and
social studies are not neglected,
nor is it a watered down course
from the regular course. Rather
is is built from the understand
ings of the children themselves
of what goes around in their
own world.
Arts and crafts is an important
part of the program as well as
the appreciation of music
through listening and singing.
The purpose is to develop the
children's potential ability to the
best possible level and to pre
pare the way by visitation, con
ferences and discussion for get
ting a job on leaving school. The
goal of securing for these chil
dren a sense of worthiness, of
ability to take their places as
citizens among the people of
their community as their peers,
is of first importance in their
curriculum.
