Today's article is a typical case history of a boy who is helped through th Southern Oregon Child Guidance Clinic.) The Southern Oregon Child Guidance Clinic is one of 23 agencies in this area which receives some of it's financial support through the United Medford Crusade. The organization received $4,000, about 25 per cent, of its budget last year from the UMC. The same amount is budgeted for the Clinic in this year's UMC total goal. . The local campaign started last month, and more than 40 per cent of the goal has been reached. Following is a "typical case history" of a' child who re ceives benefit from the Child Guidance Clinic. ' Oct. 14, 1957: David at 14 was nearly beyond, control. He refused to go home when supposed to, frequently skip ped school, and was "running with the. wrong crowd." The school was unable to reach Dave, felt his problem was deeper and more serious than Jtheir level of councellin&. and asked the' public health nurse to visit the home. '" , Oct. 18. 1957: The public health nurse visited the home and found the parents angry, embarrassed, and - humiliated by Dave's behavior;' They ' felt he was "old enough to know better," and after "months" of arguing and try ing to correct him, had giv n up." They were, however, willing "to try anything" and came to the Guidance Clinic at the nurse's suggestion'. Oct. 22, 1957: The parents were seen by the clinic's psy chiatric social worker, who learned Dave's parents were divorced when he was five, and that each had remarried. First he was "left" with his father, then with his mother, and finally sent to his grand parents. A year ago, when the grandparents' health be gan to fail, ' his mother and stepfather had "given him a home, but he didn't appreci ate it." Oct. 31, 1957: Dave was tested by the clinic psycholo gist, who reported that "Dave felt deeply neglected, and from being shifted from one home to another has conclud ed he really is not wanted. The boy. has average intelli gence and while living with his grandparents earned aver age grades and made a satis factory school adjustment. His parents have much high er standards, and have pushed him to get top grades, which are beyond him.. This unreal istic pressure has added to his feeling of unworth. I be lieve this boy could use some supervised , a n d . organized means of maintaining both a feeling of worth and as an outlet to express his angry feelings. This might be ac complished through activities and sports with the Boy Scouts or the YMCA." Nov. 7. 1957: The Clinic psychiatrist talked with Dave, and summarized: "Undoubt- I 7T Tfl M -T-TX ft' I PaW I V-T TA "Mono" DIAMOND SOLITAIRE With UU WYEAR TO PAY1 JAkk A A IVKJSJ I "THE CHAIUNCK Large Diamond SOLITAIRE fitoo With UK Gold land YIAt TO AY . -4 122 E.

He feels tiis half-sister is loved more than he is, and feels he is left out of things. Dave then misbehaves to prove to himself that the world is hostile and rejecting. I think Dave is capable of insight into his current prob lems, and will respond, after several interviews here at the clinic." Not. 1957, lo March. 1151: For the next five months Dave and his parents return ed to the clinic every two weeks for treatment Inter views. Dave talked with the psychiatrist; his parents with the social worker. Dave was able to talk about his behav ior and feelings, and gradual ly began to improve. His par ents became able to under stand Dave's fear of being un wanted even though "he seem ed so grown up," and went out of their way to reassure and consider him. And they "praised him for his average" grades; rather than criticize as they had previously. Christ mas went well, and Dave re ported he felt more, a part of a family than he had ever felt before. Increasingly he turned to his "dad" to "talk things over," and this ' wag strongly encouraged. After the first of the year, at Dave's suggestion, the "family" join ed the YMCA with father and son particularly being active. The case was closed at the end of March, with mutual understanding' that they would return if future prob lems arose." Richard Jones, president of the Child Guidance board, ex plained "that while this case story is fictitious, Dave's type Lof case is far from unique." , Opponent Criticizes Rep. Edith Green Portland (BPD Rep. Edith Green has been criticized by her Republican opponent here in a political meeting at Ben nett Chapel Methodist Church which was attended by candi dates from both parties -;. John Johnson declared Mrs. Green had failed to adequate ly represent her district in Congress and cited the refusal of the Navy to renew a lease on the Swan Island drydock ownede by the Navy. Johnson asserted that Mrs. Green had antagonized the Navy by re ferring to officers as "brass hats." Mrs. Green, who also was at the meeting, did not reply to Johnston's remarks but blamed congressional Repub licans for defeat of the Ken-nedy-Ives labor reform bill and and the Federal school construction bill. .Failure to approve those two measures, she said, was the chief weak' ness of the 85th Congress. . Normal Mercury Readings Forecast Washington-(UPD-The Weatb er Bureau's 30-day forecast from now until mid-November calls for warm, dry weath er for much : of the nation. The forecast follows: "Temperatures to average above seasonal normals over most of the nation, except for near to below normal east of the' Appalachians, along the Gulf Coast, and also in the Pacific Northwest. There are some indications of a sharp break in the prevailingly warm regime, perhaps during the first half of November, but it is too early to specify the nature of the new weath er pattern. "Precipitation is predicted to be subnormal over most areas,' except for neap- to above normal in the western quarter of the country and along the Gulf Coast." Matanuska Valley Fa rmers Not Getting Rich on High Prices Editor'! not: This is the last f four articles on th cities of Alaika, and the opportunities they afford for would-be settlers. By HAL WOOD UPI Correspondent Palmer, Alaska -UPD- Let tuce sells for 17 cents a pound, tomatoes 33 cents and strawberries 55 cents a basket in this area. And milk sells for 25 cents a glass. So the farmers in the fabled Matanuska Valley should "be getting rich. But they aren t. Palmer , is the "city" of Matanuska, the valley that was settled during the depres sion days of the 1930s by farm ers from the U.S. It has been damned and blessed, in turn, during the past quarter of a century. But today it is the greatest thing that has happened to the boom city of Anchorage outside of government spend ing in this area. Why can't the farmers get rich at those prices? Production Costs High "The over-all cost of -pro duction here is so high that there is no chance to get rich quick," said Irvin Schomburg, manager of the - Matanuska Co-Op. "There is a chance to make a good living - and if you stick it out 15 or 20 years you have a chance to become com fortably well off. But any farmer with an idea of settling here for a year or two and making enough to retire on is doing the wrong "thinking." Without the Matanuska Val ley, which is 40 miles north of Anchorage, , the people of Anchorage would be paying twice as much for food as they do now. Here is what Matanuska, furnishes in the way of agri cultural economy to the ter ritory of Alaska: 1- About 95 per cent' of all the fresh milk consumed. 2- One-half of the potatoes. 3- 75 per cent of the green vegetables. "If we could get about 200 more good truck farms, we could furnish nearly all the green vegetables in the sum mer months," said Schom burg. No Beef Cattl "Out of the state's total farm crop of $4,500,000, the Matanuska Valley furnishes $2,700,000. "Of this amount, $1,034,240 comes from our dairy, where we have about 2,000 cows. The Other 100 cows in the state are in the Fairbanks area." There are no beef cattle in Alaska - the economy would n't permit it. There are 18,000 acres of ADD ANTI-SUB UNITS Norfolk, Va.-flJPD-Two new anti-submarine , task groups have been added to the Atlan tic Fleet, Adm. Jerauld Wright announced Wednes day.

"We find that the settlers here ' are quite contented," said the co-op manager. "They have raised families and now their children are growing up. I would say that more chil dren of farmers stay on the farms here than do in the mid west. "We have practically no juvenile delinquency. Oh, somebody needs a spanking once in a while. But if the kids want to get tough around here, they can just walk into the nearest woods and try wrestling a' bear.". According to . Schomburg, there are very . v few really prosperous farmers. Most of the men here plow whatever money they make right back into the improvement of their land. Loans on land are short - four to six years. And Inter est is high - about eight per cent. There are 51,000 acres of land here still not under cul tivation - but already home steaded. Prices for improved land vary, but may average around $500 an acre. A local farmer is asking $150,000 for 120 acres of land. But this price also includes 50 head of cattle at $500 per head, trac tors, farm equipment, irriga tion setup, house, barns', etc. "It's a good life," said Schomburg, "but it's not for sissies. Hard work is the only road to success in the Mata nuska Valley." .- . MEET WITH HUSSEIN Amman, Jordan-(UPD-A U.S. military mission headed by Brig. Gen..
