First Christmas
his mother was in the hospital.
' Swallowed Beads
i He had pneumonia before his
' first birthday and six times since
then. When he was nine months
I old, he swallowed beads and
was hospitalized for a month.
I When he was three years old,
he spilled hot coffee on himself
: and was hospitalized for seven
; weeks with burns on his stom
ach and legs.
that "in 1952 there were 175
boys residing there. In 1955
here were more than 300.
He noted that increased delin
quency is a state-wide problem.
He added that he and 'lis staff
had reviewed 300 juvenile de
linqueny cases this year and
found only about three commit
ments that were not justified.
In 1952, a total of 85 cases were
reviewed and 15 commitments
were found unjustified. Lamb
said this indicates that all coun
ties are doing a better "screen
ing" job now than before.
Lamb told the group the cost
'of keeping one juvenile in the
MacLaren home for one year is
tbout $2,701. The average cost
of supervising juveniles at the
county level would be $40 to $50
a year, he said. Lamb also com
mented the salary of one juve
nile officer would be paid if he
succeeded in keeping about two
youngsters out of the stale
school. .
The superintendent said blue
prints have been completed for
a . new building at MacLaren.
which would accommodate an
additional 100 boys. He said
this would cost $750,000. Present
capacity of the school is 250
and there are about 317 boys
there now.
Custodial care plus super
vision are all the state can offer
MacLaren boys, Lamb stated. He
told of a recent experiment with
additional counseling services
for 85 boys whose problems
were considered serious. These
boys received two hours a week
of extra counseling bv a train
ed worker. Lamb said these boys
were ready for parole sooner
than the others and only six
were returned to the school for
parole violations.
Lamb said in 1952 only 17
per cent of all boys paroled
after a 10 to 12-month stay at
the school were returned for
parole violations. This was con
sidered the lowest percentage in
the nation. Now, among boys
staying as long as six months,
65 per cent return to the school
after parole.
The speaker said each boy at
MacLaren receives one hour a
week of special counseling.
While in Medford, Lamb ap
peared on television and radio
and attended a luncheon with
local legislators.
Neuberger Suggests
Animal Exchange
Washington (U.R) An ani
mal exchange between Oregon
and foreign countries has been
suggested by Sen. Richard Neu
berger (D-Ore.) to provide add
ed stock for the new Portland
zoo and to promote "better un
derstanding among nations."
The Oregon senator, in letters
to ambassadors to the United
States from other countries, pro
posed exchanging animals with
Oregon for "placement in zoolo
gical gardens in your own nation,
in return for native species from
your country for exhibiting in
the Portland zoo."
"Such an exchange would be
of mutual benefit to both na
tions, and particularly to chil
dren in the two nations," Neu
berger said. "It would contribute
to better understanding among
nations for animals are an etern
al source of interest to children
who will be the next generation
of citizens in all lands."

at Home
A short time later, Squeeky
fell from a second story window
of his home and suffered a
broken arm and face and head
cuts.
In July, 1953, he disappeared
while wading in Seneca lake.
His father rescued him and the
boy recovered in a hospital.
Later, Squeeky swallowed a
large quantity of blue ink in a
photographic studio. He went to
the hospital again.
He swallowed a small crucifix
and several roofing nails on Dec.
19 last year. Then he fell down
a flight of stairs and was hos
pitalized in serious condition
with a brain concussion. The in
jury left him partially par
alyzed. Treated for Paralysis
Squeeky spent six months last
spring and summer in the New
York State Rehabilitation hos
pital at West Haverstraw, where
he was treated for paralysis.
He enrolled in school for the
first time in September but the
strain was too much for him.
His parents. Mr. and Mrs.
Lawrence C. Dixon Jr., hope he
can start school next fall.
Squeeky would particularly
iike to see Santa Claus on Christ
mas Eve. His mother took him to
the shopping center to see Santa
last night, but they couldn't find
one.
Non-Agricultural
Employment Drops
Salem (U.R) Non-agricultural
employment in Oregon
dropped 14,900 last month, but
remained 13,900 above a year
ago, the State Unemployment
Compensation Commission has
reported.
Statistics indicated that 494,
600 persons were engaged on
non-farm jobs in mid-November,
about 30,000 below the peak of
last September, Season lumber,
food processing and construction
groups were responsible for over
three-fourths of the month to
month employment drop.
Lumber reported 6,900 fewer
employed than in mid-October
and was 4,200 below a year ear
lier when freezing weather and
snow forced curtailment of much
outside activity.
The depressed lumber market
was the big factor in employ
ment layoffs. Plywood employ
ment at 13,100 was 800 below
October and 300 under a year
earlier as several plants closed
down due to the low price be
ing received for plywood.
Food processing also recorded
a seasonal drop in .employment
as harvests were completed ear
lier this year. Contract construc
tion declined 2,100 as activity
slackened seasonally in most
lines.
Jail Chosen
Oyer School
Eldon, Mo. (U.R) School
teacher William Cheney was
scheduled to enter the Morgan
county jail for Christmas holi
days rather than send his seven-year-old
daughter to public
school.
When Cheney's 10-day sen
tence is over, his wife, Irene,
will have to serve an identical
sentence. Both were sentenced
for refusing to send their daugh
ter, Stephanie, to the Rock
Island rural school. They said
the school's unsupervised play
ground was dangerous.
Judge Claude E. Curtis also
fined Mr. and Mrs. Cheney $10
each in Circuit Court Dec. 3.
Cheney, who moved to Mis
souri from Maine less than two
years ago, said he planned to
move his family to another state
as soon as he and his wife have
served their sentences. He an
nounced he has resigned from
his job as high school English
teacher.
Cheney would not name the
state to which he plans to move
but said he had "gotten some
advise" as to which would be
the best location.
"Justice is costly," Cheney
said, and added that he had to
enter the jail at Versailles be
cause he didn't have money to
appeal.

Oregon Democrats
Hold Another
Victory Dinner
Portland (U.R) Oregon
Democrats held another victory
dinner Friday night, this one at
the Portland Woman's club and
Gov.-elect Robert Holmes prom
ised that career and civil service
employees of the state had no
need to fear for their jobs.
Holmes emphasized, however,
that the voters had asked for a
change and that job-holders at
the policy-making level would
be replaced with "people who
reflect Democratic principles."
To Take Active Part
The first Democrat elected to
the governor's office since Gen.
Charles Martin won in 1934 told
about 150 persons at the dinner
that he would take an active
part in the forthcoming legisla
tive session to see that his pro
gram is implemented.
He said "I don't have the con
ception of a chief executive
folding his hands and taking no
part in passage of legislation
needed to implement his pro
gram. Holmes indicated that his cam
paign for reelection would begin
immediately. "It is my opinion
that the job we do is the cam
paign," he said. His term will
expire in two years.
Other speakers at the victory
dinner included Sen. Richard L.
Neuberger, Attorney General
Robert Y. Thornton and Mayor
elect Terrv Schrunk of Portland.

To Be Held Monday
Salem (U.R) Funeral services
for Justice Walter L. Tooze of
the Oregon Supreme Court will
be held at 1 p.m. Monday at the
J. P. Finley and Son chapel in
Portland.
Tooze, who suffered a heart
attack last August, died in his
Salem home while he was asleep
early Friday.
He was elected in November,
1950, for a six-year term begin
ning in January, 1951. But he
took office a couple of months
earlier when Gov. Douglas Mc
Kay appointed him to fill a va
cancy created by the resignation
of Justice J. O. Bailey.
Reelected last November to
another six-year term, he was to
have become chief justice next
month.
Tooze was a circuit judge in
Multnomah county from 1940

state's highest court.
Gov. Elmo Smith said he
would not name a successor to
