Explorer Scour Film Shown at Roundtable A recent movie on Explorer ScouJ .activities was sh.wn Monday noon at the Jackson County . Chamber of Com .merce roundtable luncheon at the Jackson hotel. The Explorer program Is in tended for young men who . find themselves outgrowing their Boy Scout uniforms and who want something more challenging than the pursuit of merit badges. Minimum age is 15, or 14 if the prospective member is in the ninth grade. "This Explorer program takes over neVe the first oi the year," Carroll Smith, Ashland, chairman of the Exploring committee of the Crater Lake Area council of the Boy Scouts of America, told the 4-HCIub News Rip and Terrors Sewing Club The first meeting of the Rip and Terrors Sewing 4-H club was held at the home of Mrs. Oscar Swanson, our leader. Officers elected include presi dent, Janet Kelly; vice presi dent, Cheryl Swanson; secre tary, Mary Music; reporter, Patti McCue, sergeant at arms, Joyce Kltusenbecker. We decided to have an en tertainment committee, and Denise Stearns and Mildred Bonney volunteered. They are to provide entertainment at least once a month. The club decided to have members bring a grab bag for refresh ments at the next meeting. Our assistant leader is Mrs. Francis Poole. Refreshments were served by Mrs. Swanson and Cheryl. Patti McCue, Reporter Morals Offender l. I U T ueu me mill Portland- IUPD -Robert Cas- sun, f, rui Liauu, wim a icu- ord of morals convictions, was sentenced by Circuit Judge James W. Crawford Tuesday to a life term in the state penitentiary. Casson was convicted Sept. 29 of contributing to the de linquency of a minor in a case involving immoral acts with a 15-vear-olri bov. He was sentenced under Ore gon's "Enhanced Punishment Act." The statute, which ap plies to sex offenders, pro vides for life sentence in cases involving children un der 16 years of age when the court finds mental or emo tional disturbances which rre- dispose the person convicted of sexual offenses against Juveniles. Casson had served previous terms on morals charges, in Kansas and Oregon. When conviciea sept. z, six omer morals indictments were pending against him. Sentencing followed a pre sentence examination of Cas son at Oregon State hospital. The district attorney's office saia psycniainc examination had found Casson to be a "potential menace" to juve- ' nues.

Smith discussed the film and his hopes for the program's success locally. Our job is to see that it happens, to see that it takes place in our community; Smith said. Among those at-j tending were several school officials, including Dr. Leo nard Mayfield, . Medf ord su perintendent of schools. Informality Stressed The program's intention, Smith pointed out, is "giving the boys what they want under the supervision of adult leadership." He stressed the informality of Explorer scout ing compared to Boy Scout activities. "The boys inaugurated this program," he said. "The girls selected the uniform." A blue blazer with the Explorer em blem on the breast pocket is the uniform's main feature. Smith said the program would encompass many activi ties from hot rod to fly-tying clubs in this area. He dis cussed its value in curbing juvenile delinquency. "There never was a bad 20-year-old boy," he said, "who wasn't starting to be bad at 18 or at 16." The film was being shown for the first time in southern Oregon, Smith said. He de scribed it as "brand new." Activities in Film Among the activities cov ered in the film were skin div ing, visiting an Army ballstic missile base, horseback riding, canoeing, square dancing, a jazz band, studying and prac ticing electronics and motor mechanics, helping polio mye litis victims at a swimming pool, maintaining the grounds of a church, participating in a television panel on juvenile delinquency, a beach party and taking part in a "glamour panel in which the young men are taught manners by college girls. Smith said Explorer posts earn money to finance proj ects when necessary, and "do as much as they can afford He said expensive equipment, as in the case of skin diving, could be donated. He said the cost of belong ing tg the Explorers is 50 cents a year, the same as for Cub and Boy Scouts. He said the "green" uniform for out door activities would cost $11.55 and the uniform in cluding the blazer would cost $29.93. Slayion Man Loses $700 To Robbers Salem - (WD - Two bandits with women's black stockings over their heads as masks robbed a Stayton accountant in his office of about $700 Tuesday evening. Ed Bell told police the rob bery occurred about 6:50 p.m. He said the two men, both in their early 20s, entered his of fice and forced him into a backroom.

That's the advice .of R. Brinkley Smithers, president of the National Council on Alcoholism. "Drinking is part . of our way of life. It's wonderful," Smithers said Tuesday. "It helps relieve tensions." But not when you're sad or de pressed, he said. Smithers warned drinking creates a problem for one out of every 15 drinkers. He listed three danger signs for drinkers to observe if they want to avoid becoming alco holics: -You feel you need a drink to bolster your confidence. -You can't remember what you did after having several drinks. -You drink faster than most of those around you.
