Adoption Agency Provides Homes for Many Children (Editor's note: This is another in a series of articles discussing the arencies which received funds from the United Medford Crusade. Con tributions to the Crusade, which is bow conducting its annual fall campaign, are distributed to 25 agencies.) One of the 25 agencies includ ed in the United Medford Cru sade is the Catholic Services for Children. It is one of America's adoption agencies. During 1956, the Catholic Services for Children placed and supervised more than 400 chil dren in foster family homes. It operates on the premise that every child ideally has the right to a home, love and reasonable ecurity. Although some children do become wards of the agency through court commitment, the bulk of the agency's work con cerns troubled parents who voluntarily seek aid in giving these rights to their children. No Shortage Listed There are never enough babies to go around, agency officials say, but there is no shortage of older youngsters, family of chil dren, children of mixed racial stocks, and those with medical problems. Agency casewprkers wish more people would apply for these children. They explain that they are just as capable of loving and being loved as chil dren who are younger, healthier, or racially more popular. 5 Divorce and physical or emo tional inability of parents to function as parents, are prime reasons, according to the agency, for the increasing numbers of dependent children. Consequent ly, the agency considers its job that of cementing family re lationships. Families willing to take youngsters into their homes on a foster care basis are the prime need of all cmld-caring agencies, according to Catholic Services for Children. Helps Unmarried Mothers One of the services of this agency is helping unmarried mothers. The number of these troubled girls during 1956 has steadily increased, according to an agency spokesman. In counseling these girls, the agency aims at healing emo tional scars and building stabil ity happiness and an independ ent spirit. The Catholic Services for Children will receive Sl.571.28 from the United Medford Cru sade. The goal for the UMC 25 services this year is S123,130. i Contributions Made To Gold Hill Park Gold Hill Neal Smith, presi dent of the Gold Hill Lion's club, said several local businessmen have made contributions of par ticular items to enable the club to further it's, efforts in the development of the new Gold Hill city park, a civic project of the organization.

Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- A BRAVE CALIFORNIAN set out on a hunting trip, and came on the trail of a giant grizzly bear. Three days later he limped back home, minus, alas, the bear. "Lost the trail, eh?" scoffed his wife. "Lost it nothing!" he asserted. "The fact was that I kept right on it. Suddenly I found them footprints was getting too fresh so I quit!" Lewis Copeland tells of the time the noted clergyman. Dr. B. Parker Cadman, received a letter from a youth inquiring, "Is it possible to lead a good Christian life in New York City on eighteen dollars a week?" "My dear boy," replied Dr. Cadman, "that's about all you can do." Jean Webster defines the "upper crust" as a lot of crumbs held together by dough. 19S7, by Eennett Cert.

Teacher Shortage Raising Salaries Evanston, 111. (IP) The short age of teachers is raising some salaries, and the Placement Bu reau of the National College of Education said it already is re ceiving a flow of requests for teachers for next fall. Indicative of the higher salary schedules, a San Diego suburb is offering $4,300 for a new teach er in the elementary schools. The salary average for a start ing teacher increased from $3, 050 five years ago to $3,765 in 1956, the college said. In 1947, graduates of the col lege embarking on teaching ca reers got an average starting salary of only $2,400. The proportion of working women between the ages of 45 and 54 doubled in the United States between 1940 and 1956. There also were increases in the 10-year age groups preced ing and following those ages, but in the 20 to 24 age group, the reverse was true.
