Open House Set Thursday For League Ki ndergarten To acauaint residents ot the area with the work of the kindergarten operated by Medford Junior Service league," open house will be held at the school Thursday, October 29. Hours are from 10 aon. to 12 noon; the school is located at Priddy and Mc Andrews road. It is hoped that the open house will focus attention on the League Follies, set for No vember 4-5 at the Craterian theater to raise funds for the kindergarten. ' ; Explaining the kindergar ten, and its place In Oregon's educational system, Mrs. Ray L. Casterline, league member, wrote: ; -,-Little children, at work or piay, can be in kindergartens in every town and city. In Medford, however, we have a kindergarten that is specia lized, the Junior Service league kindergarten for chil dren with hearing or speech problems. There are only three other such schools in Oregon one in Salem, and two in Portland. San Francis co has only one comparable school, and there are none be tween Medford and San Fran cisco. . The Junior Service league founded its kindergarten : in 1953, and has since main tained it with the support of the people of Jackson county. League members believe that the teaching work of the kin dergarten should be under stood by everyone who has purchased a ticket to a Fol lies production, a fashion show, or a house tour, since the proceeds from these enter prises, and from every League project, make possible the training of the little children who attend the kindergarten. Open House Thursday, October 29, open house will be held from 10 ajn. to 12 at the red kinder garten building at Priddy and McAndrews road. The chil dren will not alter their usual routine, and those who visit will see how they learn from play situations, with other children and with their teachers. Social contacts with others are essential to a child who is learning to speak and to read lips. The purpose of this kin dergarten is to help the chil dren to take their places in a hearing world. A child who cannot hear does not learn to imitate speech without special training. If he does not learn to read lips and to talk, he must learn to communicate with sign language. It is far easier for a child to learn to sign than to learn to speak and read lips, but a child who signs only is severely handi capped in his future life, for he can associate only with those who also understand the sign language. The three schools in Ore gon that educate hard-of-hearing children beyond the kindergarten level are the state school at Salem, Hos--1 ford, and Tucker Maxon, both in Portland. Tucker Maxon is a private school, but Hosford is a public school which has a separate unit for deaf chil dren. As -these children de velop skill in speech at Hos ford, they are gradually inte- gated into classes with hear ing children. Children who have been trained in the Jun ior Service league kindergar ten for several years have a good background in speech. Several have been accepted by these schools, which must be selective , since they can train only a limited number of children at one time. Mrs. B. Brandt Bartels, di rector of the League kinder garten, recommends that a child with a hearing or speech problem be sent to the kinder garten soon after he is 18 months, old. Otherwise, he Junior Hospital Auxiliary Aids Patients and Staff A total of 514 hours of volunteer service have been given to patients and visitors at Rogue Valley Memorial hospital through the junior auxiliary program ince June, according to Mrs. Glen O. Bessonette, president of the auxiliary. This includes approximately 80 hours of adult guidance to the teen-age members, and 434 hours of individual service given by the girls under supervision of hospital personnel. Twenty-two girls were en rolled in the group when it was organied in June under the direction of Mrs. Otto Frohnmayer and Mrs. Robert Morris, Rogue Valley Memor ial hospital auxiliary mem bers. All were at least 16 years of age, in the junior or senior class at Medford high school, and had completed the home nursing course given by the school nurse, Mrs. Clark Anderson. Taking the name of "Candy Stripers," the girls adopted a uniform of pink and white striped jumper, and white blouse, worn with the Ameri can Hospital Association em blem. After completing the required orientation course, the girls have been trained to perform a variety of tasks in the hospital, such as operat- sal iw imported china by world famous!

Girls in the junior auxil iary sign up for regular two hour duty periods each week, and any girls wishing to work additional hours are assigned extra duties by Mrs. Mary A. Vanderlin, director of nurses; Before working in the hos pital, each girl must have a negative tuberculin test and a chest x-ray, as required of all hospital personnel, it was pointed ouf. Mrs. FTohnmayer . states that an additional five seniors and 22 juniors at the high school are planning to begin service with the Candy Strip ers soon. Approximately half of the original group have now gone away to college, or are unable to continue work ing at present. ; Membership in the junior auxiliary was originally re stricted to allow intensive training, but the adult super visors now feel that the girls have proved of sufficient aid to justify recruiting replace ments and expanding the services further. Among the girls who have: been most active in the pro gram, the Misses Susan Fon taine and ' Jan Everham have each given 60 hours or more; Misses Donna Dell and Mick ey Darras have " served 54 hours apiece; and the Misses Anne Matthews and Ruth Coovert more than 40 hours. Miss Coovert is president of the group. Purpose of the organiza tion, as stated in the by-laws, is to provide the "plus serv ices" of kindness and courtesy to patients, their families, and hospital personnel; to be of service to the community by furthering the public relations of the hospital; and to encour age and train for future pro fessional hospital personnel. . . .

Jahn, who has taught in the League kin dergarten during , the past three years, trained at the Lutheran School for the Deaf in Detroit, Mich., and then taught in that city until she moved to Medford with her husband. Mrs. Bartels trained and taught at Central Insti tute for the Deaf in St. Louis, Mo. Very little special equip ment is needed, however. A group . hearing aid is , neces sary. to help train the residual hearing of each child by the auditory method. Since 1953, several families have moved to Medford from Grants Pass, Klamath Falls, and northern California to make it possible for their children to attend the kinder garten regularly. This sum mer, a young couple moved here from Great Falls, Mont., to enroll their two-and-a-half year old. daughter. The little girl's grandparents, who live in Klamath Falls, saw a tele vision program on the Med ford channel which told of the kindergarten and intro duced the children who were students last year. A letter of inquiry led to the move last summer. ' Last year, three children came from Ashland and . two from Garnts Pass to attend the kindergarten. One little girl from Bandon lived with her aunt periodically, so that she might receive some train ing. Children from other com munities in the county have been students in other years. Members of the Junior Service league are happy that so many children can be helped through their efforts, and each member helps Mrs. Jahn in the schooloom during the year. . They are grateful for community support, and want everyone interested to attend the open house next Thursday.
