WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25, 19S1 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOWB, BL Yreka Council Considers Public Housing Measure , Yreka - The Yrcka city council discussed measures to provide housing (or persons receiving public assistance who presently are occupying condemned structures in the city, at its second January meeting. ! The council promised co operation with the county in plans to develop the veterans housing project into a low rental project for county in digents. However, the council suggested the county board of supervisors tour the project and study the matter thor oughly. About 13 Indigent families are believed to be occupying condemned structures in the "Sugar Bowl" area, accord ing to W. M. vanOvcr, county Welfare director. Others live in homes which may be con demned in the future, he said. Leas Project The possibility was men tioned that the city and county might be able to arrange an agreement whereby the coun ty could lease the veterans project and maintain it for persons receiving public as Kitance. It would serve as a low rental project for county indigents only. Concern was expressed by county officials that the .vet erans housing project build ings might be more of a liability than an asset for the county. They Indicated main tenance costs might be too prohibitive but that the coun ty would look into the matter further. "These buildings came from Hnppy Camp after being worn out there," Councilman Jim Cummings said. He indicnted that he would be willing to offer land and buildings to the county for a housing project, but suggested they consider more positive development than trying to maintain worn out buildings. In other business, the coun cil took no stand on a pro posal to bring city roads up to state standards or on means of finnncing tlus program, Illinois Valley PTA To Elect Officers Illinois Valley The Janu ary meeting of the Illinois Valley PTA was held recently at the Kerby school cafeteria.

Juvenile Delinquency Problems Are Discussed by Yreka Elementary PTA Yreka "The problems pre sentcd by juvenile delin quency are not overwhelming and impossible to solve" Ron ald Hayes, California area pa role officer from Sacramento, told Yrcka Elementary PTA members at their January meeting. The responsibility for meeting the challenge rests with the home and community delinquency must be solved by preventing It," Hayes said. He listed the following eight points for parents as sugges tions for prevention of de linquency: 1. Learn to know your child and the period of social development he is going through. 2. Know your childs assets and liabilities u 1 1 1 1 z e his strong points, not his weak ones. 3. Try to understand the child who exhibits problem behavior. What he does may be a substitute for what he can't say. Assist Child 4. Don't take over your child's problems but assist him In working them through. S. Guarantee opportunities for self expression and the re lease of energy, but always with respect to how It affects other people. N.

Foreign Students To Visit Rotarians Yreka Through the joint efforts of the Yrcka and Mon tague Itolary clubs, 40 foreign students from the Internation al house in Berkeley will be guests for the week end in the homes of the Rotarians, For the last eight year's it has been the project of the two clubs to bring these stu dents into area homes so they will have a chance to see how the average American lives.

"A child is not born a de linquent," Mrs. Young said. Roger Ellis, superintendent of Dunsmuir elementary school presented the school's side of the problem, and sug gested that the parent can best help the child by making him want to go to school, having a time and place for the child to work, and to have patience with your child. Mrs. W. M. vanOver gave the probation department's views and said, that the de partment must have the co operation of the parents." The percentage of delinquents out of the juvenile population is three per cent, she said. Jess Brewer, summarizing for the panel said "The primary ef fort is to guide the minors into a useful life.

Of School Needs ' Now Completed Grants Pass - The 10-mem-ber citizens committee study ing school building needs for the Josephine county school unit completed the study in a lengthy meeting Monday night, Jan. 23, in the office of Elmer Fleming, Josephine county school superintendent. A poll of the nine members present following the eve ning's discussion indicated seven of them favored recom mending to the county school board that there be a bond is sue calling for construction of a county junior high school and for necessary construction in other schools to bring schools in the northern end of the county up to standard. An eighth member agreed that this was his choice as a solution to the county's build ing needs, but added the stipu lation that the bond issue not come up for consideration until late summer. He said poor business conditions in the area would make such an elec tion unwise at this time. Other committee members agreed and this stipulation was added to the original recommenda tion. The ninth committee mem ber expressed the feeling that, although he personally felt the building of the junior high school would be the most economical and best for the county in the long run, he was going to recommend only basic repairs and construction at present elementary schools be made. He said he felt county voters would not pass the larg er bond issue. He was asked what would happen if this plan were adopted and the District 7 announces It is un able to handle county junior high school students due to overcrowded conditions. We will just have to hope this doesn't happen, he said. Jack Edson, Medford archi tect, attended the meeting at the committee s request. Ed- son gave a cost estimate on construction of a junior high school which would accommo date about 450 students. He said basic expenses in building a junior high are the same for almost any size student body. Basic facilities would be a gymnasium, cafeteria. science laboratories, home economics rooms, wood and metal shops, music rooms and classrooms. He said the main difference in cost is relatively small since It includes only additional classrooms. Edson said a junior high for less than 400 or 500 students would be uneconomical but such junior high could expand to take care of 200 additional students with little added ex pense. Transportation The committee agreed that transportation problems at the present time made It impos sible for one junior high to serve the entire county. Ex pense of extra buses and a great inconvenience that would be presented to young er children in outlying areas in the northern end of the county by having to be picked up on bus runs at a very early hour were recognized prob lems. Since the crowded school problem is not acute at North Junior high presently, commit tee members indicated stu dents living in outlying north ern areas could be sent, as they arc now, to this school. The opinion was expressed that any bond issue should allow a large enough amount to solve this problem, but the majority opinion was that this coiild not be legally managed at the present time. Problems in the northern end of the county would be greatly as sisted If necessary construc tion and repairs to schools such as Merlin and Fort Van noy are carried out, some com mitteemen said. Federal Aid Superintendent Fleming said it is doubtful Josephine county could qualify for fed eral aid in school construction since figures reveal the coun ty lias the lowest tax rate In the state; that It has no bond ed indebtedness, although It is operating under a system which allows bonded indebt edness up to $5 million. Fleming said the only factor which might counterbalance this is the low per capita In come In the county. The feel ing was expressed that a late summer election would Rive an opportunity to sec what action, if any, the Kennedy administration was going to take on problems of federal aid to education. Committee chairman Don Wood was In structed to present the com mittee report at the next meet ing of the county school board. Rural Reflections By MAUDE ZIEGLER Applegate Valley - Little wild flowers "born to blush unseen" will be captured and their delicate shapes and col ors pressed in books by the Valley Garden club. There is one who inspires love in doing this. She sees further paths expressing love through the art of pressed flowers. When most are prone to buy greeting cards for birthdays this one says to take the flower of the birthday month, preserve It carefully on a card of one's own and present it as a greeting with a very personal touch. She says to make a lovely pressed flower and frame it as a picture gift for a friend. She says a flower or two from a wedding could be preserved and presented to the bride as a gift long afterward. These little flowers, precious gifts from above, must be treated tenderly, she says. One uses tweezers in working with them so that none of the deli cate powder on the petals is disturbed. They must be pick ed when first seen and put in water until one gets home. Retaining their color is a first essential, and arranging the flower gracefully as it grew in nature is another must, preserving its comely contour. One can put with the flower its bud and seed pod, she says. This is "Hennie" Le Pinlec passing on to others her love of nature.
