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,

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.

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.
It also gives the hosts an op
portunity to get acquainted
with the student's customs and
learn something of his native
land.
The students will arrive by
special bus Friday evening
and will be met at the Yreka
Inn by the individual hosts.
Saturday evening the stu
dents will present a program
for the Rotary clubs and in
vited guests at a banquet to
be held at the fairgrounds in
the Winema hall at 7 p.m.
Monday afternoon the stu
dents will again board the
chartered bus and return to
Berkeley.
"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.

Committee Study.
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.
