Women's Tea Closes Oregon's 1959 Mother of the Year, Mrs. Harlan P. Bos worth Jr., closed her year last week with a small tea and a statement concerning projects of the American Mothers' committee and her own philo sophy of life. The tea, held at the Bosworth home on East Main street, brought together a group of Mrs. Bosworth's friends and women who had cooperated in the national committee's projects through the Medford mother. Three women who met Mrs. Bosworth because of her. ap pointment, and present for the tea, were Mrs. Grover T. Mul key, Gold Hill; Mrs. W. W. Brawn and Mrs. William Jef frey, Medford. The three re sponded to requests of the na tional committee and Mrs. Bosworth, and expressed their ideas on better family living and child-rearing in letters to the Medford woman. They were introduced and received gifts. Firmness Mrs. Brawn, who has four children, wrote that it seem ed to her that "the moral fiber seems to be disintegrating and in its place (has come) the feeling of parents that every problem of their children is just due to a phase they are going through." She added that she believed parents need to exercise a "firm hand" and to start this firm ness in the child's early life. If discipline is a part of the child's early life, by early teens he may be given his in. dependence, Mrs. Brawn be lieves. Mrs. Brawn also expressed interest in the field of nutri tion, one of Mrs. Bosworth's major interests, and said that "after studying several books I am thoroughly confused." The Gold Hill mother, Mrs. Mulkey, said she believed raising children is a most re companionship in the family. These ingredients work." Mrs. Jeffrey, who has had considerable material pub lished, listed 10 "Suggestions warding career and that with her four children now on their own, "we have a feeling of accomplishment." "The code iy which we lived happily is simple," she wrote. "I would begin with love and compan ionship, the sharing of rec reation and hobbies. Early dis cipline and work for every one is important, a shirker had to take the consequences. The members of a family must be taught cheerfulness, emo tions must have a governor and each person's possessions respected. Manners and thoughtfulness lend much to family harmony. Parental Help "Each child followed his aptitudes with all possible par ental help, and learned early the importance of making his own decisions. Training m citizenship, morals, religion and finances is necessary, but can go awry without love and for Happier Family Living" beginning with "learn the lov ing approach." She also ad vised "translate wishful think ing into action; view family troubles objectively; cultivate your sense of humor; analyze success stories; read good books; include Bible reading and prayer; discover that back of every idea lies the sacri fice of dedication; study fam ilies that are achieving hap piness; be patient." As part of the plan to pro mote better family living in America, the American Mo thers committee is endeavor ing to promote the habit of prayer among American fami lies. The various state mothers were urged to form prayer groups. In line with this plan, Mrs. Bosworth asked Mrs. Jeffrey to speak on prayer at the tea Wednesday. Confusion on Nutrition Mrs. Bosworth also spoke of her year as Oregon mother and of some of her activities during the past year. In ans wer to Mrs. Brawn's state ment of "confusion about nu trition," Mrs. Bosworth said there is much confusion and that it is the duty of parents to work at finding the truth. Later Mrs. Bosworth referred to the recent study conducted for the California School board during which the effect of better nutrition on prob lem children was surveyed. The conclusion reached was that many children doing poor work in school did so because of malnutrition; some author ities believe that as many as three-quarters of the nation's school children are improper ly nourished. Mrs. Bosworth told guests at the tea that many mothers accomplish better nutrition for their families by growing their own vegetables and fruits, and making their own bread from whole-wheat, properly ground flour. She recommended the publication, "Modern Nutrition." Later in the week Mrs. Bos worth summed up her ideas on motherhood and family living and said "Parents have a responsibility to start their children on a way of life, and not just give them beliefs. It Mews Year for Oregon's 1959 Mother Corvallis, Ore. A life of community and her granddaughter, Peggy Harper. 12, activity, along with raising three children, scan a family album. Mrs. McCracken as- is reviewed by Mrs. C. P. McCracken (left) serted she was "speechless for the first time Oregon Mother of the Year for 1960, as she, in my life" when informed of her selection, her daughter, Mrs. James Harper (right) (UPI Telephoto) is very hard in this day and age to develop a good way of life. The ability to love has deteriorated. Man seems to be striving primarily for mater ial success - we are judged for what we are worth in the market place. Want to Improve "I believe that most par ents truly want to improve their way of life, and that of their children, particularly in the field of spiritual values. I believe that if we are to have an improved way of life, mor al and ethical training must be regenerated. There are many levels of religious be liefs in this country, but we must not have an immature reliance on God as a kind par ent; we must not turn to Him only in time of need and go our own way at other times. About God and religion we must be consistent. "To speak of love is not preaching, for the simple rea son that it means to speak of the ultimate and real need in every human being. Because that need is obscured does not mean that it does not ex ist. We must have faith that love can exist in the whole society - that general altru ism can exist, not only in a few individuals but as a ra tional faith based on insight into the very nature of man." Mrs. Bosworth's successor, announced last week, is Mrs. C. P. McCracken of Corvallis.
