First Sessions of
Camp Easter Seal
To Open June 26
Reedsport-The first of four
cessions at Camp Easter Seal.
Oregon's only summer camp
exclusively for crippled chil
dren and young adults, will

through July 5, William R.
vvells, president of the Ore
gon Society for Crippled Chil
dren and Adults, the Easter
Seal agency, has announced.
Each session is divided into
different age groups, Wells re
ported, and the first is for
children from 7 through 11
years. Enrollment for the inl
tial session has already been

July 9 through 18, 12 to 13
years; July 22 through 31, 14
through 17 years and Aug. 4
through 13, 18 years and
young adults.
Whitaksr Is Director
The camp, located on North
lake of Ten Mile lake is un
der the direction of Bruce M
Whitaker, with Roger Wood
as program director. Staff in
cludes a registered nurse,
three house mothers and three
program assistants. Campers
who are severely crippled and
need assistance can bring In
dividual attendants, Whitakcr
said.
Registration can be made
through headquarters of the
Oregon Society for Crippled
Children and Adults, 1135 SW
Yamhill st., Portland. Whita
kcr pointed out there Is a tee
of $23 per session, but there
are campships available
through various civic and fra
ternal organizations. He also
tressed that no candidates
are refused for lack of funds.
The camp is reached by
cruiser from the North Lake
park moorage at Lakeside,
pear Reedsport.
The camp program includes
boating, swimming, cookouts,
compass work, axe safety,
campfire songfests and what
to do if lost in the woods. Ap
proximately 115 crippled chil
dren and young adults from
20 Oregon counties attended
the four sessions last year.
down with her nagging and
stupid ways. Divorce was the
only way out.
My parents are very stuffy
about divorces and things
like that. They just can't un
derstand why I want to mar
ry a divorced man. Our re
ligion doesn't p r o h 1 b i t di
vorce, so I don't see why they
snouia mane a big issue about
this. Anybody can make one
mistake. My parents take the
attitude that Roy will never
make a good husband.
e e
Mrs. J. L. - I just can't
understand why an attractive
young girl like my daughter
would want to get involved
with a man who has already
had one wife. It would be dif
ferent if she were older, but
this is ridiculous. Both she
and Roy are really still kids
- yet he had a divorce on
his record and Gay feels he's
the only one in the world for
her.
My husband and I have had
a very happy married life and
we think youngsters todav are
just crazy in the way they
shed husbands and wives if
things don't go the way they
expect. I feel that a person
who can't get along with one
mate won't do much better
with another.
I'm convinced this marrlaee
hasn't a chance.

J, Talent, are enrolled in the
31160 session of the Junior En

mer institute for girls being
lic'd on the Linficld college
campus.
Also attending from south

daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dan
Patch, 561 Beall lane, Med
ford. Ninety-three high school
girls from seven western
states are attending the two
week science course lasting
until June 25.
The program was first start
ed five years ago on a co-ed-uciitlonal
basis then was di
vided to allow for more en
rollment. The boys group is
at Oregon State college dur
ing the same period of time.
Only eight states are holding
such programs.
Pickup Truck Hits
Big Fuel Tank
Salem -IUPU- A pickup truck

lons of dicsel oil over the
area and slightly injuring the

anism failed.
The Council: We agree, on
the whole, with Mrs. J. L.
The indications are, how
ever, that many second mar
riages are happier than the
first. But we suspect the rea
son for this is that more indi
viduals are coming to recog
nize that when a marriage
tans It is not the fault of one
partner.
Such Individuals are deter

icarn wnere tney, themselves.
were at fault for the failure
of the first. Often they get
spiritual and psychological
guidance before embarking
on a second marriage.
If those same individuals
attempted to save their first
marriages by getting this
guidance, they probably could
avoid all the anguish and de-
structiveness of divorce.
In the case of Gay and Roy,
we would be far from opti
mistic about the chances of
success.
Roy has apparently put the
entire blame on his first wife.
She may have been a "crazy
girl" who nagged and had
"stupid ways," but we won
der what her story about Roy
wouia De.
It is entirely likely that af
ter a year or two of marriage.
Gay would find herself with
child and a husband who
considered her crazy, stupid
and a nag.
Gay says "anybody can
make one mistake." That's
true enough. But it behooves
us to recognize the nature of
the mistake. The mistake is
Just as often in being the
wrong kind of person as in
marrying the wrong kind of
person.
The fact that Gav considers
her parents "stuffy" on the
subject of divorce suggests
that she may be a little wide
eyed and romantic about It.
Possibly she finds some spe
cial appeal In Roy as a man
or experience - a man who
has been hurt by one woman,
who turns to her for comfort
and new hope. She needs to
wise up to the fact that one
bad experience doesn't neces
sarily change a man. He must
be willing to change himself.
