Committees were established last October to study these and 18 other phases of county activi ty and make recommendations for improvements. The 10-member committee on family and community living sectionalized their work into the following categories: social problems, school problems, health and services. Listed as a major social prob lem was the situation of neglect ed children, resulting from a high percentage of mothers working outside the home to support their families, provide for extended education, raise the standard of living or provide for their own emotional needs. The committee recommended accept ing the fact that there are work ing mothers and offering assist ance to them by providing schooling or supervised recrea tion for children while their mothers are absent. Providing a set standard for nursery schools and encouraging coop erative kindergartens was also recommended. Parents Immature The committee stated there is a widespread lack of emo tional maturity among parents and a lack of parent education. Recommendations therefore in- j eluded parent education through study groups, churches, PTA land extension units. It was sug I gested that specialists from Ore ! gon State college train leaders for discussion of problems. High school classes on family rela tions were also suggested. To meet lack of recreational facilities, the committee recom mended supervised recreation and a parent and teenage group who could together solve prob lems which -come up under su pervision of this recreation. The committee noted there is an increasing number of elderly people who are lonely and ill adjusted. The group therefore recommended a center for hob bies and crafts, an organization to visit these people, encour agement of churches to offer more interest toward older groups, organization of golden age groups and encouragement of neighbor consciousness. Schools Crowded Considered in the school prob lem category was need for addi tional classroom space, lack of uniform standards for kinder gartens, need in many school districts for financial assistance and special programs for the exceptional child, including gift ed children as well as the re- terded and physically or emo tionally disabled. The committee 'recommended legislation for licensing and standardization of kindergartens: redistribution of state equaliza tion funds to bring basic school support up to an equilibrium be tween local personal property taxes and state support; and establishment of a program set up to develop the child with a high I Q. and continuation of I tJiiuk suiiuuis which weie I'Mau- I lished for the mentally retarded. It was noted that a building : program is being carried out to j meet the need for additional classroom space. In the health category, the committee acknowledged a con siderable amount of accomplish ment on the part of the Jack son County Mental Health com mute. The group therefore recommended Increasing public knowledge of the program being carried out by the mental health committee, in a way that will stimulate understanding and par ticipation it programs toward better understanding of indi vidual and human relationships. Problems Listed Problems of sanitation, dental carries and nutrition were givqn a considerable amount of atten tion by the committee. Recom mendations included an educa tion program for groups on county zoning and further coun- , ty planning, an intensive educa i tional program of fluoridation I and dental health and further j education on necessities of a i good diet. j Fire protection and roads were : given attention by the commit l tee in its study of services in ! the county. The committe rec i ommended that the forest service relinquish "fringe areas" where ' its service is not sufficient to ! cover many horrsss in outlying i districts; that the county com ! mission help with fire protec I tion problems: and that fire safety practices be emphasized in homes. The "litter bug" problem was , listed as a major one affecting roads and highways. The com mittee recommended "anti-lit-tering" education through schools by essay writing, films, posters and other means, through , newspapers, television and ra I dio and supporting various or ganizations with programs that have already been started ' to keep roads and highways free of litter. I Leaders Needed Among situations declared ex i istent by the youth committee i of the council were shortage i of elders to work with youth Committee groups; lack of challenge in present youth programs: inabili ty to plan because of military obligations; tendency of many parents to give children many material things: lack of oppor tunity for many young people to belong to organizations; ten dency to have too many organ ized activities in some areas, thus reducing time youths can spend with family activities; need for a solution to the prob lem with some juveniles who cannot adapt to school society, but are required by law to at tend school; need for better classroom facilities; need for proper nutrition; and various problems arising from such tilings as automobiles and tele vision programs. The committee recommended organization of car clubs spon sored by youth groups, schools or civic clubs, with programs including education on safety and courtesy of road operation as well as maintenance and re pair. Expansion of the retarded and handicapped student program to include all ages in the public school system was another rec ommendation. The committee took a stand against lunch hour activities in schools, which either prevent students from having enough time to eat an adequate lunch or encourage them to skip lunch entirely. A study was recommended on purpose and use of school home work in relation to its educa tion value, as compared with other activities in which young people engage. Final recommen dation of the committees was a student survey to determine what young people are doing with their time. One tablespoon of salad dress ing or butter accounts for a rap idly consumed 100 calories. The same number of calories is con tained in coffee with sugar and cream or 10 potato chips.
