New York W More and i
more women are working at
homemaking on a neighborhood

They're clearing slums and
improving the neighborhoods in
which they live. Currently,
they're particularly interested
in civic action to make the multi-billion
dollar federal highway
construction program a means
of ridding their home communi
ties of unsightly or unhealthy
areas.

The federal highway construe
tion program and city planning

priority at the Pacific Coast ur

Eerkeley, Calif., October 17 and

perts, and representatives of
business and citizens organiza
(fions got together to talk over
ifre financing and expediting of
local neighborhood improve

ACTION was formed in 1954
serve a dual purpose through
citizen action: To prevent slums
from starting and spreading;
and to eliminate those already
in existence. Its activities have
been further spurred by the

the widespread shift from rural
to urban living. The organiza

ment is allowed to grow spon
taneously, it will lead to over
crowding and more depressed
areas, but that if it is planned.
It will lead to further expansion
and prosperity.

Children's Bureau
Seeks Theme for
1960 Conference
Washington, D.C. The Chil
dren's Bureau has sought the
advice of three national groups
on a theme for the 1960 White
House Conference on Children
and Youth, Mrs. Katherine
Brownell Oettinger, bureau
chief, has announced.
Representatives of the Coun
cil of National Organizations,
the National Council of State
Committees on Children and
Youth, and the Interdepartmen
tal Committee on Children and
Youth met with Bureau officials
to advance suggestions for the
conference.
Mrs. Oettinger said that their
suggestions will be turned over
to the National Advisory com
mittee on the I960, White House
Conference, to be appointed by
the president. She also said that
other meetings, with other na
tional organizations which have
programs touching on children
and youth, may be held later
in order to provide further back
ground information for the Na
tional Advisory committee.
The White House Conference
on Children and Youth is held
every ten years at the call of
the President. The 1950 White
House Conference, which more
than 5000 persons attended, fo
ctissed on the theme "A Healthy
Personality for Every Child."
The conferees discussed prob
lems growing out of rapidly
changing conditions. Miss Bea
trice McConnell, representing
the Interdepartmental Commit
tee on Children and Youth, said,
"We are fsced with a raising
vouth population in a shrinking
world."
Mrs. Philip Bandt. represent
ing the National Council of
State Committees for Children
and Youth, observed that "kids
today are not interested in
square knots: they are inter
ested in knots in terms of
speed."
Dr. Donald S. Howard, rep
resenting the State Committees
group, said that "If there is any
one age group which needs sin
gling out at this time, it may
be the adolescent."
The representatives cited ur
ban renewal, strip cities, auto
mation, the population growth,
the impact of the mass commu
nications media, and internation
al affairs as factors which have
brought about changes in home
and family life.
Dr. Howard, a professor at
the University of California at
Los Angeles, said that experi
ence in his state indicated to
him that today's teen-agers are
not so much interested in codes
of behavior, which they regard
as too much personal direction,
as they are in statements of
I principles and standards for
