Dr. Harry Danielson, psych iatrist, announced that new cases will be accepted by the marriage counseling service during the remaining days of January, and that the counsel ors would continue to see the couples they are working with for a month or two longer if it is deemed advisable.

This was regarded as favor Reeder Discusses Civil Rights at Ashland Meeting Ashland- District Attorney Thomas Reeder spoke on "Provisions of the Oregon Law Pertaining to Discrimi nation" at a meeting of the Ashland Human Rights coun cil Jan. 20 in the Ashland Public library. It was the first in a series of monthly study meetings planned by the group. The so called civil rights laws of Oregon are those which make it unlawful to discriminate against a person on the basis of race, religion, color or national origin, Reeder said. They are admin istered by the bureau of labor and cover the areas of em ployment, housing places of public accommodation and vocational, professional or trade schools licensed by the state.. According to Reeder, prob ably the most important of such laws are those which deal with employment, since economic freedom cuts across nearly any other freedom which we might have. The fair employment practices laws cover employers, labor unions and employment serv ices, he noted. Violations Reported Violations of the anti-discrimination laws may be re ported by writing to Mark A. Smith, administrator of the civil rights division of the bureau of labor. The office makes - investigations and de termines if there is sufficient evidence to justify a hearing. Reeder pointed out that within a limited range, Ore gon's civil rights laws are useful. However, since viola tions are somewhat hard to prove, the laws are difficult to administer. According to Reeder, the real solution to peaceful and equitable race relations prob ablv does not lie entirely in tho enforcement of these laws. Rather, the meaningful civil rights in Oregon and the country are contained in the Constitution, he said. Question Period Following his talk, there was a question period during which Reeder explained cer tain aspects of the laws more fully.
