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.
