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-

Girls in the junior auxil

and any girls wishing to work
additional hours are assigned
extra duties by Mrs. Mary A.

Before working in the hos

all hospital personnel, it was

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.

' Special training is required
to be a teacher of the deaf.
Mrs. Norman E. 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.
