o THURSDAY. JUNE 30. 1960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE. D 3 to indicate the. relative sta bility of mills of different size in several areas in wes tern Oregon. Similar com parisons will be made among the western states. Information from all mills will be summarized before the report is published so that data from one company will be revealed. Interviews with selected sawmill owners start ed in June. Marketing Practices Of Sawmills Will Be Studied by College Corvallis Marketing prac-ial luber prices and mill lunv tlces of 300 sawmills in wes- ber, log prices will be made tern Oregon will be studied this year by Oregon State col lege. Oregon will contribute to a joint regional marketing project including sawmills in Washington, Idaho, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Cali fornia. The project will assess cur rent marketing practices and obtain the industry's sugges tions for Improvement of log and lumber markets. Upon completion of the study, a re port will be published for Oregon and for the region. It will be for industry use as well as for other interested segments of Oregon's econ omy. In addition, the data will aid In future economic stu dies and will provide valuable Information for college class room use. Charles F. Sutherland of the school of forestry staff, and Emmett Thompson, grad uate assistant, will conduct the study. Dependent on Economy "Oregon is dependent upon Its forest economy. As its largest single segment, saw- milling deserves recognition and understanding by affiliat ed industries and by the peo ple of Oregon," Dr. George Barnes, assistant director of the colleges forest research division, agricul'.iral experi ment station, pointed out. The project is separated in- two two phases. The first will describe the present market ing practices of approximate ly 300 sawmills in the Doug las fir region of Oregon. Cur rent log buying practices and log markets for timber com ing from both private and public sources will be studied. In addition, the mill's lumber sales policies, market and problems will be explored In the second phase, price and production information for certain grades of logs and lumber will be collected. Comparisons between region- Maladjusted Apes Need Mother's Love Miami Beach - IUPD A mal adjusted ape is not just up to monkey business, he probably didn't get enough affection from his mother. , , This was the report of Dr. Harry F. Harlow of the Uni versity of Wisconsin -to the Florida Psychological associ ation here. Harlow said young - apes demonstrate a definite need for caresses. He said in the absence of their mother they will develop uffection for in animate objects such as a doll, or even a stick. The monkey deprived of a mother or a substitute later finds great difficulty in ad justing to the society of fel low apes. Physical contact with the mother may be more important than any other fac tor in the ape's adjustment to society, Harlow said. , Girl Hopes for Repeat Lightning Bug Business Chestertown, Md. Chris tine Kimble hopes the bug business is as good this sum' mer as it was the last. The 12-year-ok! girl caught 8,140 lightning bugs last summer and sold them for nearly $25. The bugs were purchased by the biology department of Washington College for use in scientific research. . -T8 .Hi n r a .'' - V.- 3 vlf Construction Starts on OSC's New Ocean Research Vessel Corvallis The long-range I A grant of S3 19,555 was program of ocean research received by OSC last year started by Oregon State col lege in 1954 has received its biggest boost with beginning of construction of the college's new ocean research vessel, the Acona. The quarter-million-dollar 80-foot "floating laboratory" is being built in Portland by L. b. Bair ana Associates, marine designers and en gineers. It will be finished early next spring. GRANTS PASS JUMPING-The trampoline craze that is sweeping the country has reached Grants Pass where the first commercial venture of its kind in Oregon is at tracting young and old alike at the Jolly Jump-Up. (UPI Telephoto) Fined Jaywalkers Squawk the Loudest Cleveland - IUPD - Cleveland police find they usually get more protests from persons arrested for jaywalking than from any other kind of arrest. Police Chief Frank Story has enforced vigorously the law against jaywalking since 1956, in an effort to cut down on accidents. He said that of the 364 pedestrians struck by cars in the first four months of 1960, 205 were jaywalkers and that 14 of the 205 were killed. The penalty for jaywalking is $3. The offense produces about $45,000 a year in city revenue. mm 1 j'-im i y Put Wall Space to Work with IPIEMFdDMATlEP Boards and Hooks .v v ,: : ,-' 11 " : v . v , w -., -f , . i - - I f 4 . i : i in'iJ- ft l t .

Jackson BP 1-6661 Open Monday ft Friday UI FBEE PARKING , By BARBARA PERRON (Portland, Or. ) , Illegitimacy today consti tutes one of the most perplex ing social, moral, and eco nomic problems facing the nation. The illegitimate child is the unwanted product of immorality. He and his moth er are a threat to the institu tion of marriage and a menace to the taxpayer. : With illegitimacy so persis tent a problem, it is to be ex pected that attempts should be made towards a solution. Unfortunately, however, il legitimacy is one of those problems which a community would rather ignore than at tack. It involves the most intimate of human relation ships and is therefore cloaked with a reticence which is only natural. But, because illegiti macy, is not only a question Of individual morality but also a problem which involves a wide range of inherent and environmental factors, the public can help to prevent or at. least help to reduce the incidence of illegitimate preg nancies and births in the Uni ted States. Major Causative Factors Case studies of unmarried mothers show that unsatisfac tory home conditions are the major 'causative factors in the illegitimate pregnancy. This indicates that the family and the home can act as the first line of defense against illegiti macy. . But only if the home conscientiously performs its functions of sheltering and nourishing the child; of edu cating the child morally, so cially, and intellectually so that he may be accepted by the community and society; of providing a loving but not overly protective atmosphere where the child can grow and gain confidence and indepen dence. It is the second and third of these functions which are so often neglected and which so often might, as a result of this neglect, lead to an illegitimate pregnancy. The responsibility of edu cating the nation's youth about all matters concerned with and related to sex should not be left to the schools. The teaching of facts about biol ogy, hygiene, or anatomy is not enough to build healthy moral attitudes and standards. The school cannot successfully provide spiritual and moral guidance of the individual in his development of attitudes, habits, and ideals. Fretdom Significant It is of utmost importance that people realize the signifi cance of the freedom now adays allowed to young peo ple. There are Innumerable opportunities for the two sexes to be together without adult supervision, opportuni ties to work, play, and study together, and thus to learn to understand each other. This present-day freedom imposes upon parents an obligation to educate their children on how to use their freedom wisely so that they will accept a greater share of the responsi bility for governing their own actions by their own princi ples. Love is the core of sex edu cation, the love of a husband and wife for each other and for their children. If a child Is born into a family where love is abundant, he will learn to give love in return. First loving his mother and Wather and other numbers of the family, ho later learns to love playmates, teachers, spec ial friends, and finally is ready for the love that leads to marriage and parenthood. But if the baby or young child is not loved it will be difficult for him to learn to give love in return. In homes where the parents' love for each other and for their children is expressed in mutual con sideration and respect the children are likely to learn to give such love. Emotionally Disturbed Older children also need to know that they are loved and wanted and that their contri butions to the home and schools are appreciated. Lack ing such assurance, some young people become deeply unhappy and emotionally dis turbed. Others seek accept ance in groups or gangs where they win the admir ation of companions by out of - bounds behavior which may include sexual experi mentation. This is merely further evidence of how an unsatisfactory home life can lead a young girl or woman into such a situation as might result in an illegitimate preg nancy. The feelings and attitudes that are significant in the child's sexual development begin to form very early in life, almost at birth. The child's parents and his home environment influence such attitudes first of all; play mates, the life of the neigh borhood, school and commun ity exert their influence as he grows older. These atti tudes may last over many years, and may affect the in dividual's own approach to love and marriage and his ideas of family life. It cannot be emphasized enough the role that the family and the home play in the molding of the child's personality. But, by making themselves famil iar with the illegitimacy prob lem and other behavior and emotional problems, the na tion's parents can help to par tially or wholly ellminite the problem of the unwed mother. 'Baby Oscar' Given To Foster Parents Pittsburgh - (UPD - Mr. and Mrs. Fred George of Free- port, fa., were awarded a "Baby Oscar" recently by the Family and Childrens' Serv ice Bureau. They were singled out for rearing 21 foster children in their home in the last 15 years. "One piles up many mem ories," said Mrs. George. "There has been so much hap piness and at times a little sadness. We've learned a lot about others and I'm sure we've been drawn much closer to God." At present, the Georges are rearing 16-year-old twins, school - age boy and a pre school child. "Our home is a happy one," the Georges said. Klamath Sheriff Charged With Harrassmenf Klamath Falls (UP1 For mer District Attorney Arthur Beddoe Wednesday charged that Sheriff Murray Britton harrassed a woman and caused her to change her story in a written letter. The charge came at the opening of the re-trial here of William Olen Garison Youngster Assists Mother With Chores Ottawa, Out. Mom looked so busy, that 7-year-old Arch er Taylor decided to help out, He filled a wash tub with water and dumped in some clothes to soak. The garments came from a pile his mother had just finished ironing. from the Office of Naval Re search to build the vessel and to vastly expand basic ocean ography research on Oregon's coastal waters. Make Regular Trips Once the Acona is ready for sea, the OSC oceanogra phy department will make reguhir and extended trips off the Oregon coast studying currents, water temperatures, salinity, oxygen content, the ocean floor and sediment, marine life, plankton, and tides. Up until now, Oregon's off shore region has been left blank on many detailed ocean ography maps of the Pacific Coast waters because so little research has been done. The limited number of fact gathering cruises made to date by OSC have been on chart ered boats out of Astoria, Newport and Coos Bay. Acona, the name picked for the now boat, is an Indian word for Yaquina. Newport on the Yaquina bay-will be the home port. The Acona will be equip ped with special gear that will permit the scientists to nrnlv, tn Hnnthe nf milne murder cnarge in connection it will nave a range ol 4.UUU with the death of an 11 -month- old baby last Dec. 17. Beddoe, who recently re signed as district attorney, is acting in an advisory capacity in this trial, assisting Deputy District Attorney O. W. Goa-key. Britton was not present in j the courtroom when Beciaoe made the charge before an all woman jury. Taken To Small Room Beddoe said Mrs. Ethel Breeding Bursik, mother of the child, was taken to a small room in the jail by Britton and Mrs. Mary DeLap, jail matron, "where they kept harrassing her, kept telling her that she had dropped the baby in a tub, that Garison had nothing to do with it. They coerced her to write this In a letter to her mother . . ." Beddoe added that "a few days later she wrote an other letter to her mother and told her to ignore what she had written enrlier. That let ter was never delivered." Defense Attorney Warren Lesseg, Medford, in his open ing statement, said "the sher iff's office is not guilty of brow-beating her into chang ing her story." A jury in April reported it could not reach a verdict. to 6,000 miles which will let it go into waters off Hawaii and in the Gulf of Alaska. The all-stel vessel will cost $177,000 with the remainder of the grant funds to go into outfitting the boat. The Na tional Science Foundation al so has given OSC $50,000 for purchase of specialized sci entific gear for work at sea. Dr. Wayne V. Burt, head of the oceanography depart ment, started the first exten sive studies of Oregon's 350 miles of coastal water-fourlh longest coastline of any state when he Joined the OSC staff in 1954. The Acona will he the "key to unlocking the unknown of Oregon's ocean area," he said. The $310,555 grant receiv ed by OSC last year from Office of Naval Research i3 part of a giant 10-year na tional program of research in waters surrounding the Unit ed States. Ten schools, stra tegically located along tha East and West Coasts and tiie Gulf of Mexico, were pick ed to carry out the studies and to assist in training badly need oceanographers. Ten master's and doctor's degree candidates will help with the oceanography next year at OSC, Burt said.

A select group of n.odlcal officers from the Air Force, Army and Navy will be the first doctors to be qualified for this specialty under this new program. The course was introduced by Gen. Oliver K. Niess, sur geon general of the Air Force, and Col. George M. Knauf, staff surgeon at the Air Force Missile Test Center who plan ned the intensive two-week project. Its purpose, accord ing to Col. Knauf, is to make available a pool of qualified medical officers frcm the three services who will be able to perform duties as space surgeon. These doctors will support the requirements of NASA's Project Mercury and future man-in-jpace pro grams. Subjects for study will range from the history of astronautics to accept able metabolic aberrations in space operations. It is estimated that 90 doctors will be quali fied as space surgeons this ytrar under this pioneer medi cal program. r if I it ?60 i A qt.' : Code 26SB 5300 ; ! w pint f. 1 Coda 26SC , mi l K iftw-muu wn'Ar..i,c.iUon KU.Mcti;.eiiiiii auiiiu tfiinl,
