The Family Council Editor's not: The Family Council consists of a judge, a psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women' editor and two writers. Each article is a summary of an actual report. The Family Council does not five advice: it merely reports on problems that have been dealt with, by responsible agencies and counselors. Sam F. I feel like a fifth wheel in my own home. Phyllis F. What a nerve he has! Sam F. Isn't there any way an erring husband can win his way back to his wife and children? I have been a first-rate scoundrel most of my life. I admit it. I drank, gambled, ran around with women, was unfaithful and didn't support my family properly. Sudden ly I saw what a terrible mess I was making of my life. I asked my wife to take me back and settled down to be ing a good husband and fath er in earnest. Now I find I am barely tol erated in the house. The chil dren look at me with indiffer ence or annoyance. My wife never shows me any affection. I feel like a fifth wheel in my own home. Phyllis F. I just don't know what that husband of mine expects. Does he think ten years of part-time father hood can be just wiped off the slate? Does he think the scars on my heart will heal over night just because he has changed his mind? The facts that I can't take his reform too seriously. I know and the children know the real reason Sam came to his senses was that he became quite ill. He got the scare of his life and was warned to stay off the bottle. It's true the children are fresh, but I can't say I blame them. As for me not showing affection that's a laugh! What a nerve he has! The Council: It will take great effort on both sides to repair the damage to this home. Phyllis and Sam should make that effort for their own sake and for their chil dren's. Sam should recognize that the burden of proof of the sin cerity of his reform rests on him. He cannot expect this long-suffering family to wel-i come him back with a gala OEM CAR COOTS BY Famous Maker For Children and Sub-Teens MANY SHADES, SOME WITH HOODS ...

U MEDFORD m Mk MEDFORD blast of trumpets the minute he sets his wandering, mud smeared boot in the door. His wife has not yet had the ex perience of having a husband who shows in word and deed that his first concern is her happiness. His children do not yet know what it is to i have a devoted father partici pating in their daily lives. Sam must think about ways to express his love and con cern for his family. He should try to avoid indulging in self pity about their attitude toward him. As he loses in terest in himself, it is very likely that his family will be come more interested in him. On the other hand, Phyllis should try to avoid nursing bitter, vengeful feelings toward her husband. It will only breed further unhappi ness for her and the children. The children need to love their father in order to be at peace with themselves. Phyl lis must try to help Sam bring out his best qualities and to help the children to see them. Gradually they may learn for bearance toward his weak nesses. Phyllis is wrong and foolish to scorn her husband's re form simply because it was set off by illness. An outside factor can sometimes force an individual to a deep inner re alization. Phyllis should en courage and nourish the germ of goodwill now growing in her husband. Her vengeful feelings would only stamp it out. (Copyright 1958, General Features Corp.)

Mr. Hitt gave a synopsis of the Oregon School Activities association insur ance plan used by a majority of the schools in the county. Many parents have had ques tions concerning the insur ance program and the extent of its coverage. Mr. Hitt said the representatives from the county schools office are in terested in bringing informa tion about the program to PTAs in the county. A speak er may be obtained by con tacting the Jackson County school superintendent's of fice in the courthouse. Mr. Hitt commented that "Educators depend on PTA more than any other group, to interpret school programs, school problems and their so lution, to the residents of a community." He requested continued assistance of' the PTA units in interpreting school legislation passed by the 1957 Oregon legislature. Specifically referring to the new budget law which re quires each school district in the county to approve its own budget by a vote of its resi dents, Mr. Hitt explained that this is in contrast to the meth od of recent years, in which the County Rural School board had equalized the budg ets of all second and third class districts and one vote was taken throughout those districts. If the one equalized budget of the rural board failed to pass in any one dis trict, it usually was carried by the support of voters from another district, he said. Each of these districts will now find it necessary to vote to ex ceed the 6 per cent limitation allowed by law, since none of them have a tax base large enough to meet their current budget requirements. Counsellor Speaks Lawrence Tweedy, juve- SALE! 2ND FLOOR nile counsellor, told council members that the juvenile de partment staff is grateful to the PTAs of the county for their assistance in securing the detention home. More fre quent conferences with youth detained, a regular day for court hearings, and natural response to home surround ings all help to provide a more satisfactory and prompt solution to the problems that confront those who are de tained, he said. During the business meet ing, conducted by Mrs. Owen A. Kunkel, council president, the nominating committee was elected. Serving on the committee are Mrs. Lewis Du senberry, Elk -Trail; Mrs. Chester Fitch Jr., Ashland; Mrs. John Benson, Medford. Alternates are Mrs. John Huffman, Eagle Point; and Mrs. Riley Cook, Central Point. Mrs. M. H. Hall, Jack sonville, new secretary of the council, was introduced. Mrs. Hall replaces Mrs. Fred Sim cox, resigned. Mrs. unkel reported on the recent State Board of Managers meeting in Portland She" announced that Mrs. El dred Hansen, Klamath Falls, OSPT historian, was elected the representative for Region V ,on the state nominating 'committee. At the board meet ing, Wayne Durrell explained the "Youth Code" prepared by the nearly 400 delegates attending the December meet ing of the Governor's Com mittee on Youth in Salem Representatives were invited from each of the senior high schools in Oregon. A curriculum study of the high schools throughout the state is planned for the near future, Mrs. Kunkel said. This study is a project suggested by the tri-committee com posed of representatives from Oregon Education association, Oregon School Boards associ ation, and Oregon ' Congress of Parents and Teachers, and will be directed by these three organizations. Training Conference Mrs. Kunkel told of the plans being prepared for a leadership training conference for PTA council leaders on the University of Oregon cam pus in July. Miss Dema Ken nedy, National Congress PTA field service representative, will conduct the training meetings. A workshop, with empha sis on the parliamentary pro cedure involved in the nomi nation and election of officers was held for presidents and unit representatives by Mrs. Kunkel and Mrs. Leigh Gus tison, first vice-president of the Oregon Congress. Mrs. John Carter, tuition scholar ship chairman, led a work conference o n the OCPT scholarship program. She re ported that 22 units in Jack son county contributed to the program last year. One hun dred and one OCPT scholar ship students had graduated from Oregon colleges by April 1957, and 96 of these had taught or were teaching in elementary schools at that time. The Oregon Congress is currently considering expand ing the program to include secondary education students. Additional, financial support will be necessary to accom plish this goal. The youth group confer-t ence was directed by Mrs, Fitch, junior vice-president. Floyd Taylor, chief of police, Gold Hill, told of their com munity youth club. Officers B. E. Stevens and D. L. Pur sel, from the Medford Police force, explained youth activ ities sponsored by the Med ford force, and presented a safety display. Mrs. Benson led a group discussion of record books.
