Sunday, March 6, 1960 A MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. . Priority Needs for Children in Oregon Highlight New Report Portland-Priority needs for Oregon children highlight a 125-page, comprehensive re . port released last week by the Governor's Committee on Children and Youth. It was enthusiastically com mended as "good reading for Oregon's thinking citizens" by Gov. Mark Hatfield. Governor Hatfield, with whom a meeting of some 100 of the committee members and advisors was cancelled Thursday because of the mow, released a brief state ment thanking them for their two years of work and study in preparation of the report. He said he hoped that their ; recommendations would re " ceive careful study by all Oregon citizens with concern for the children and youth of - the state. "I am pleased that the Ore gon committee is taking back to the White House confer ence on Children and Youth report that reflects so well . the areas of greatest concern and brings into focus specific and positive springboards of action. "This committee by Its ex cellent study is demonstrating that we cannot let our citi- - zens of tomorrow down." The report, an intensive re ; view of the newest and the most pressing problems of con cern in children's needs, to gether with the evaluation of most of the services available or unavailable to meet them, Is the culmination of two years of study by a committee of 73 members appointed by the Governor. They were joined by ap- - proximately 130 other special ist in fields of education, health, child welfare, recre ation and juvenile protection in the actual compilation of the report, which drew also from the efforts of 32 county committees ranging anywhere f from 10 to 30 members each. The Governor's committee was charged with reviewing total environments and ferret ing out all - needs for Ore Son's young people. .The com mittee was charged also with making a report to the March Wasningtca, D.C., meeting of the Golden Anniversary White House Conference on Children and Youth and the making and possibly imple menting of recommendations to the state of Oregon. The report was edited by George Turnbull, dean emeri tus of the school of journal ism, University of Oregon. The committee tackled such subjects as youth training and employment, family counsel ing, adoption safeguards, in creases in venereal rates, younger marriages, day care centers, the Oregon Youth Council, fluoridation of drink ing water, state financial sup port of public health units, juvenile courts, unwed moth ers, recreation needs and hun- Fairview Home Is Program Subject A documentary film report on the Oregon Fairview Home will be featured at 11:30 o'clock this morning ov er KBES-TV, Medford. The program is the seventh in the "In Our Care" series on Oregon institutions pro duced for the Oregon state board of control by Robert Richter and filmed by Wil liam Rush. The film is the first of a two-part motion picture ca mera trip through the state institution for the mentally retarded. While folowing a 15-year-old actual patient from time of entrance through diagnos is, treatment and training, the film shows those facilities at Fairview primarily designed for patients who will eventu ally leave the -institution to return to their home and a job. . The second report on Fair view, to be shown next Sun day, will show facilities and programs mainly for the probably life time residents of the Institution. FAMOUS TRAIL Nashville - The famous Ap palachian trail extends through the Great Smoky mountains following the tops of the high peaks for a spec tacular 71 miles, a favorite tourist attraction dreds of other sutects con cerned with what the report calls a "total environment" study. The state committee is for warding to county committees copies of the report. The re port terms itself "a starting point" and points out that it hopes its discussions will im plement county or community action on one, or more or many of the priorities. Second Approach Mrs. William Kletzer, chair man of the Governor's com mittee, pointed out that a sec ond approach will be the recommendation of a few im portant changes in legislation. She also said that she hoped at least a nucleus of the Gov ernor's committee could be maintained to function on a consultive basis for furthering the report's suggestions. Some of the priorities for children and youth suggested in the report, but not par ticularly in order of impor tance: 1. The need for a compre hensive review and recodifi cation of the Oregon laws re lating to children. 2. Need to strengthen Ore gon laws relating to adoption and to provide better protec tion for mothers and children and adoptive parents. 3. The need for state financ ial support of public health units and expansion of public health services. Raising Standards 4. The need to raise the standards of juvenile court programs in Oregon. 5. The need for Oregon to concern itself with the prob lem of youth employment, particularly the 42 out of every 100 granduating from high school who do not go on to college. 6. Additional pro fessional family counseling services. 7. Provision for a state di rector of recreation and de velopment of coordinated year-round programs to serve the recreational needs of all age groups. 8. More adequate facilities for day - care of children of working mothers. 9. Expansion of the Oregon Youth Council. 10. Fluoridation of water. i 3 ' T iiIPiemietc r $ " I ' 1 :i ;V v $ ItgfW -t?MBrS It - irr i 1 IB v.'.i'.v.y... .... vn-.v.-.'. ! .wv.-.-.-.-.' w... . . .-r?.-JMf..--.-.-.-.v--- - - - v. -.- .-.-.-.v.'.- ...OUT OF THE AUTOMATIC...
