the official representative of
Jackson county, and will
serve on the board of manag
ers of the congress for the

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. Complete in
formation regarding the
course may be obtained from
the local Red Cross Chapter
office.
