All of the coun cil officers plan to attend a leadership training conference on- the University of Oregon campus in Eugene in July. Duane Anderson and Phyl is Briggs, two of the five students from Eagle Point High school who attended the governor's youth conference in Salem in November, told of their experience in helping formulate the youth code adopted by the more than 400 high school age youth at the conference. They discussed measures of the code, and said that it is being used as a gen eral guide in their area of the community. Complying with the code is a matter of indi vidual honor, . rather than a mandatory rule, they said. Workshop Held ' Lawrence Tweedy, council juvenile protection chairman, and boys' counsellor for the Jackson County Juvenile de partment, conducted a work shop on foster and shelter homes for the county. Assist ing him were Mr. and Mrs. Robert Swan, who operated a foster home in the county for several years, and are now superintendent and ma tron for the detention home; and Miss Celia Walker, of the Jackson County Public Wel fare department. Miss Walker explained that certain re quirements must be met be fore a home can be licensed to operate as a shelter or fos ter home. Information regard ing these requirements can be obtained from the welfare department. She stressed the difference between shelter homes, a temporary arrange ment not ordinarily exceed ing 90 days; and foster homes, as long a placement as is deemed necessary or wise by the welfare department. Fos ter homes for junior and sen ior high age youth are the most urgent need, especially farm placements, Miss Walker stated. The most fundamental requirement for homes of this type, are a stable home where ) affection and ' firmness are evenly balanced. Mr. and Mrs. Swan, who have three children of their own, told of their experiences in maintaining a foster home. Some, of the rewards were exemplified by young people becoming well-adjusted and assuming their responsibili ties and positions in the com munity. Mrs. Swan remarked with a note of humor, "Don't take a child unless you like other people's children!" Clinic Available Mr. Tweedy emphasized that the Child Guidance clinic is always available in work ing with problems which may arise in readjustment of chil dren placed in foster homes. Community residents inter ested in the foster home pro gram may obtain more detail ed information from Mr. Tweedy . at the. juvenile de partment, or Miss Walker at the welfare department. Mrs. Arthur Boye, health chairman, conducted a work shop on health and summer roundup. She was assisted by Mrs. Cleo Kent, Jackson County Public Health nurse, and Mrs. E. J. Lamarre, Red Cross representative. Mrs. Kent outlined the serv ices of the public, health de partment, including the over all immunization program, and the recently opened den tal clinic. She listed the plan for the summer round-up, a program conducted annually to assure the medical exam ination of each child who will enroll as a first grader in Jackson County public schools in the fall. Local unit health chairmen should first arrange with the school principal, a public health or school nurse, and a doctor to set a con venient date for the round-up. These three persons will make complete information avail able to the health chairman, for the necessary mechanical arrangements. Program Explained Mrs. Lamarre explained the home nursing program conducted by the Red Cross as a means to assure better home care of the ill and, also, as a civil defense measure. The goal the Red Cross would like to attain is to train one member of each family in home nursing, Mrs. Lamarre said. She emphasized the value of teachers and regis tered nurses, whether current ly licensed or not, receiving the training, carried on for five consecutive days from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., stating that these people are well equipped to then teach lay persons. The classes for home makers require 14 hours of class time work over a period of four of five weeks. Per sons desiring to take the teacher training course may wish to use the service of baby-sitters available through the Red Cross office, Mrs. Lamarre stated.
