Child Guidance Clinic One of
23 Agencies Benefited by UMC
(Editor's not: This is an
other in a saries of articlas
prepared by yarious agen
cies which will benefit from
th United Medford Cru
sade. 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,

edly this boy feels unsure be
cause of bis many moves.
Dave has a deep desire to be
dependent on a strong mature
adult. 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. .

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

land under cultivation- in the
Matanuska Valley. About
5,500 persons live in. the city
of Palmer . .
"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." .- .
