The Family Council
Editor Note: The Family Council consists of a Judge, a psychiatrist,
three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers.
Each article is a summary of an actual irase history. The Council reports
en problems that hay been dealt wl b by responsible agencies and
counselors.
Beverly S. - I want to stay
with mv aunt.
Mrs. L.S. - I don't want her
to go there telling stories.
Beverly S. - I am 17 and I
have a very serious problem
and no help in dealing with it,
Mostly because I was very
unhappy at home and uname
to eet alone with my iatner,
I got involved with a wild
crowd at school last year. I
might have gotten into serious
trouble, but I wised up just
in time. But it was too late to
keep word from getting
around that I had been at cer
tain wild parties. Some of my
former friends had to be sent
to a reform school.
Now I have no friends. The
nicer kids won't have any
thing to do with me. So I want
to finish high school at anoth
er place. My aunt is willing to
let me stay with her until I
finish school, but my folks
won't let me.
Mrs. L.S.-Complaints, com
plaints are all we get out of
Beverly. She says her latner
doesn't treat her right, but
what can she expect when
she is always fresh to him?
With me, she's constantly
nagging for permission to do
something she's going to do
anyway, no matter what I say.
I don't want her to go tell-

was suspended from his duties
ine puipu, yuigiey, n-year-oia
ing stories to her aunt about
how badly she gets treated at
home. Then my sister-in-law
starts calling me up and wants
to know what all the trouble's
about. My sister-in-law hasn't
raised any children of her
own, but she thinks she knows
what it's all about.
We never neglected Bever
ly. She managed to get her
self into all her troubles. Now
let's see her pull herself out
of them on her own.
The Council: Beverly does
have a serious problem and
her parents should acknowl
edge it. Mrs. L.S.'s position
seems to be one of self-defense.
She does not want to
be found a failure as a parent
and therefore will not ac
knowledge that her daughter
needs help.
Mrs. L.S. should recognize
that despite the best inten
tions, parents sometimes fail
their children in some way. If
a child goes astray, a parent
is not called upon to cover
himself with blame or try to
prove to himself that he isn't
to be blamed. The more con
structive way of dealing with
the problem is to try to find
out what went wrong and
what can be done to redirect
the child.
Beverly's analysis of her
own situation is not necessari
ly the correct one, but her
story should be taken into
consideration. Why does she
feel so unhappy at home?
What is her complaint against
her father? Why does she get
fresh to him? It is very likely
that Beverly is not doing well
at school, but doesn't like to
talk about this part of the
problem. If it is the case, how
ever, her parents should find
out whether she can get some
coaching in her weak subjects.
They should encourage her to
spend more time at her home
work and develop her skills.
Beverly also needs some
help in finding new friends.
Mrs. L.S. should investigate
the local resources with her.
If .Beverly joined a teenage
church group, she would un
doubtedly find better friends
and she would be accepted as
long as she behaves in accord
ance with the group standards.
Mrs. L.S. should also discuss
Beverly's situation with a
friendly teacher or principal.
Possibly he would advise
transferring her to another
school, or he may find ways
and means of drawing her into
a nicer group.
We think Beverly needs her
parents, rather than her aunt,
to help her out of her diffi
culties. (Copyright 1960,

Aneuvin Bevan, deputy lead
er of the British Labor party,
was reported "very weak" to
day at the Royal Free hos
pital. Bevan underwent major
abdominal surgery Dec. 29
but doctors said he has been
putting up a "fantastic" fight
for his life.
A bulletin issued today by
Labor party headquarters re
ported today he was very
weak.
Thursday night a medical
bulletin said the 62-year-old
Laborite showed a "slight im
provement" in his condition.
One London newspaper
quoted him as saying from his
hospital bed, "Tell 'em I'll
make it."

TABLE ROCK
Fire Destroys
By R. E. NEALON
Table Rock - Fire, believ
ed to have been started by a
heat lamp, early Thursday
morning totally destroyed a
50x60 barn, and severely
damaged a nearby building,
used as an office and veterin
ary quarters, on the Table
Rock Ranch. In the buildings,
and destroyed or badly dam
aged, were three saddles, a
quantity of small tools, belt
ing, hoses, and a supply of
feeds for show stock.
Had there been a wind from
the west, the Central Point
Rural Fire department; which
had two trucks on the scene,
would have had a tough battle
to have prevented the flames
from spreading to other
buildings close by, including
a set of truck scales, a ma
chine shed filled with equip
ment, a hay barn, gas pumps,
a shop, and a dwelling house,
the oldest in the community,
built in 1869 or 1870, accord
ing to Mrs. Martha Gregory
of Medford, whose father built
it.
The following teachers
have been appointed in the
local Sunday school for the
current year: Bible class,
Mrs. Ray Wyatt; intermediate,
Mrs. Norman Matteson; pri
mary, Mrs. John Dickey; be
ginners, Mrs. Don Wheeler.
The Sunday school meets at
the school house each Sunday
morning at 10 a.m. It is inter
denominational, and every
one is invited to attend the
sessions.
A large. 2-story house, on
the Earl Peffley farm in Sams
Valley, known as the Jim
Pankey dwelling, built about
the turn of the century, was
totally destroyed by fire
Thursday morning, Jan. 14.
Several neighbors rushed to
th scene, and helped to re
move the household goods
and furnishings. At last re
ports, cause of the fire had
not been determined. Roscoe
R o b e rt s, representing the
Grange Mutual Ins. Co., which
insured the building, says
this is the biseest loss they
have had in Jackson county
in the last 10 years.
The other dav. while in a
Medford store, one of the
clerks tried to sell us a pair
of slacks, which he said was
R5 ner cent wool, for $18 and
some cents. The slacks weigh
ed just barely over a pound,
and we told him that was
more than we could get for
a full grown sheep, with 10
pounds of wool on his back.
Our better half, who was
trying to help break down
our sales resistance, said we
shouldn't have talked that way
to the clerk. But we think
we farmers should tell our
side of the story whenever
we get a chance, especially
when so many city folks
think we are a bunch of par
asites forcing them to pay
enormous prices for food and
clothing.
Don Grissom, the Lake
Creek farmer and sheep
shearer, was here one day last
week, tagging the neighbor
hood sheep, which means
clipping the dirty wool from
the hind parts. This reminds
us of the time when Grover
Cleveland was President, and
we were having a depression.
Wool was worth about 15
