Langtry Warns State Should Not Be Satisfied With What's Done "Oregon is progressive in juvenile matters, but we must not become self-satisifed with what has already been accomop lished. Our goal is the preven tion of juvenile problems, not just the treatment of them." stated Judge Virgil Langtry of the Multnomah county circuit court. Judge Langtry spok-2 at a joint meeting of the Jackson County council of Parent-Teacher associations, and the Jack son county juvenile committee Friday in the courthouse audi torium. '"Home stability is the greatest thing to create a foundation for wholesome personalities in chil dren," he continued. Listing causes contributing to youth problems, Judge Langtry, who hears about 80 per cent of the juvenile cases in Multnomah county, named unrest in society created by wars, disrupted homes, working mothers, chang ing family-home situations, auto mobiles, communication media, and the permissive attitude exist ing today toward divorce. "I realize there are many reas ons for mothers to be working outside the home; more than one in three mothers now work in the metropolitan areas, but an empty house to an 'after-school child' cannot provide the strong bulwark of a home. I cannot over-emphasize the importance of a stable home life, which is necessary to shape the character of a child. An institution cannot do this job," he said. Psychiatrists working with dis turbed children recently publish ed a report that it is better for, children to grow up in a home seeing and hearing their parents quarrel and facing their prob lems rather than seeking divorce in an attempt to escape the prob lems. Judge Langtry commented that the report confirmed his opinion created from contact with both youthful offenders and divorce court hearings. To solve juvenile problems, they must be approached from many fronts: more juvenile courts in Oregon, more than half the counties still have the county court system of handling juve niles; more juvenile counsellors; more school cousellors Troubled Homei "A community cannot afford to lose a single case. If there is a troubled home, it will create a troubled child. First troubles show up in many places, includ ing welfare offices, school coun sellors, clergy offices. We des perately need family counselling service in our communities, but too often we overlook the most logical and natural counselling available in the community, the clergymen." He said attempts should be made for counselling and inves- Don't Miss . yM "ART tigative services to determine the welfare of children involved in pending divorce cases. Di vorce laws and marriage laws must be tightened and unified so there is not so much variance from one state to another, he f commented. There is always a need in every community for good shelt er homes for dependent children. Citizens who believe they have strong homes should not hesitate to offer to fulfill the need, Judge Langtry said. Better Training "We must work for more and better training to re-educate youthful offenders in institutins; then when these youngsters come back into the community, we must acept them and help them find a useful place in our community life," he concluded. Mrs. Owen Kunkel, president of the Jackson County council of Parent-Teacher associations, introduced Judge Langtry, who is Juvenile Protection Chairman of the Oregon Congress of PTAs, Police Chief Charles Champlin, Mrs. Leigh Gustison, and Mrs. Eldred Hansen, officers of the Oregon Congress of PTA, Mrs. John Benson, PTA publicity chiarman, and C.
