It is expected that a club will be organized here, al though puppies for training will not be- available until June. Mrs, Darrel Mitchell will lead the club. Her 10-year-old son Dean, as a mem ber of the Siskiyou club, al ready is training a golden re triever, and another son, Dale, 12, gave basic training to a dog last year which now is owned by a blind Negro. Sent To 4-H Home Pfaffenberg explained that ouide does are bred and tested at the San Rafael Foundation, and are distributed to 4-H homes In western states at six weeks of age. The youngsters nrovlde food for the dogs ana give them basic obedience training IS minutes a day, for a nine month period. The dogs then are returned to San Ra fael for five months of Inten sive training in commands rel ative to leading a blind person. An additional one month training period is given In the company of their blind mas ter. The dogs then are given free to their new owners, Pfaf fenberger said. The foundation is operated on donated funds, and most vetlnarians and others con nected with the work give their services free of charge. The need for a guide dog center on the Pacific coast was seen in 1942 when Letlerman's hospital In San Francisco was filled with war casualties, many of whom would not see again, Pfaffenberger related. Six women donated $6,000 and started the Institution. The Seeing Eye Foundation in New jersey and a few other Institutions supply other areas of the United States. It was IB years ago that the establish mcnt at Sari Rafael started testing and building toward the perfect guide dog puppy The Siskiyou 4-H Guide Dog club Is the only one of Its kind In the county so far. Sixty- three of the puppies have been trained In Oregon homes In recent years, and Portland's first five puppies arrived for training this month. 2. r: f r 4. nwmj FFA MEMBERS Jim Frink, left, and Jim Cummings, mem bers of the Crater High school Future Farmers of America, are shown working on a truck they own together.

Chll Clrcn undergo a continous pro jci of physical, mental and Emotional change, he said. He Commented that we might call "Xhise changes "growth pro cesses". Direction of these growth processes Is education. 1 He added the school is con cerned with the development if each child to hli greatest Rapacity physically, socially, emotionally, mentally, moral Jy and spiritually. That part it the curriculum which helps children become physcially fit Is physical education. Direct ed physical education activi ties channel energy that might Java combative tendencies to Xooperallveness. Playing iralnst others is elevated to flaying with others of the fame side or team. 5 Ctlicr positive attitudes fuch as good sportsmanship, Bme-vanc of rules and fair pnrjTar fbarned along with body skills. Children learn to "give and take" in physical education classes. Fair Play Poise, fair play, courage, alertness, good sportsmanship and good posture arc facets of a good physical education program that will help young sters not only now, but will carry over Into adult activi ties. Mack said. Four principal parts of the physlclal education program arc basic skills, rythms, re lays and self-testing activities. Examples of basic skills arc ball handling, climbing, fall ing, Jumping, running, walk ing, skipping, sliding, stand ing, and striking. Rythms should begin In the first grade and extend through the grades. A good program at a minimum should Include singing, games, creative fund mentals, marching, and folk rythmic activities.

It all came about when Esther telephoned her mother in desperation, saying she couldn't find a matching hat anywhere. "We will just make one," Ruth said most confidently. From a blue scarf like the one Esther had selected to wear with her wedding suit, Ruth, an accomplished seam stress, fashioned the hat. She said it was made largely of loops which might have been petals, and with a peek at a little formal hat of by-gone davs. the trick was done. And all for literally a few cents as compared to about 20 times the price as noted by Ruth when she viewed simi lar hats in a Salem store win dow recently. Speaking of little hats of yester-year tucked away in the closet, the Smith home also is a source of unending delight to teen-age girls of the neighborhood who nave access to pretty formals when the occasion demands. The form als were worn by the three Smith girls, Jean, Sonjia, and Esther during school days. With a shortened hem and a tuck or a bow here and there, the local girls are ready for any gala occasion. For the sake of catching up with events, Sonjia Swinney is teaching at Eagle Point, Jean is a senior at Southern Oregon college and Esther is a stenographer.
