Louis F. - No matter how hard it is, I want to keep Joey in school.- Mrs. W B. He should go to work, not she. She has a new baby. ' .' Louise F. - Such l wonder- ful son as Joey deserves what ever chance I can give him for a good education. Even though my own life is a mess, I'll work my fingers to the bone to give Joey, and now the newborn one, a real start. He's 16 and his father is dead. My present husband de serted me when I became pregnant a year ago. He's out West, Hying with another woman. .He says her husband is a gangster and won't let my husband leave her) Figure that out. Anyway, all during my pregnancy I held a job cleaning out rooms in a settlement-house. But in the ninth month, Joey took my place by getting up at 4 a.m. and working until it was time for school. His teachers think a lot of him too. They've recommend ed him for the "Higher Hori zons" program next term. ', Mrs. W. B. - I'm Louise's aunt. I know the whole sorry story but I live in Brooklyn, too far away to help her. It's true Joey is a fine boy, but he certainly Isn't college ma terial and, in her desperate circumstances, Louise should not be putting ideas in his head and making him prom ises, she can't possibly keep. I used to take, care of Joey for her while she held a full- the cleanest, home heating. MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, time job - before her mar riage to this scamp. . Joey s teacher told me he had a low I.Q. But Louise won't believe it. She thinks he's a genius. Soon he'll be old enough to make some real money, so Louise won't have to work so hard. Now she leaves her Infant daughter with the jani tor's wife, to hold on to that cleaning position. She makes Joey stick to his books, though, Instead of a good part-time job. The ' Counellt Leaving to the welfare authorities their unpleasant task of untangling Louise's marital and depend ency problems, we hail her for her faith in Joey and her high hopes for his progress. While her aunt s advice Is practical and expedient, it is defeatist and crushing for this optimistic mother. We trust that the social agency will help her find other ways of navigating, than by torpedo ing Joey s education. The "Higher Horizons" project, to which Joey has been referred, Is an exciting program -of the N.Y.C. Board of Education, for bringing out the most in children who have the least, that is, teen-agers deemed underprlvl leged. Through individual tutoring, psychological counseling, and "enrichment trips" to con certs, museums, factories, and theaters, all sorts of "mira cles" have come about. I.Q.'s have leaped upward, potential delinquents have swung to the straight and narrow, poor stu dents have turned into book worms. Joey, too, will have a chance to "beat the rap" of circumstances. Louise prefers to cling to a belief that things will Im Drove without the necessity for Joey to leave school. Per haps her husband can be brought to book - "extradit ed" for the Other Woman and Husband! Also, Joey's pro gram can be arranged to in clude time for a week end job, .without impinging on his class attendance or nomeworic hours. - We can understand why Joey was recommended for the special program. He had the one asset conswerea para mount for its success: a de voted parent. This fine par ent - child relationship can make up for several of the handicaps in his life. The community and Louise's fam ily must help overcome the others. . Instead of throwing cold water on Louise's dream of a better life for Joey, this aunt should cross the river from. Brooklyn once in' a while and help bathe the new baby. Bear Hunt Story Asked for Alba A eoDy of the April 2 Mall Tribune has been sent to Mayor Osvaldo Cagnasso oi Alba, Italy, Medford's sister city, at the urging of an offi cial of the United States In formation agency. The paper contained a story of a Medford building con tractor who recently shot what may be the world's larg est polar bear. S n o w d e n Chambers, head of a division of the USIA. wrote Mayor John W. Snider of Medford that the story may be of inter est to Medford's Italian friends Chambers said he had read of the kill in the Washington (D.C.) Evening Star. The story apparently has received wide spread national publicity. ' Arthur R. Duns oi meaiora shot the large polar bear in March off the coast of Big and Little Diomede islands, ap proximately 180 miles south west of Kottebue, Alaska. The hide of the bear measured 11 feet 4 Inches from nose to tail and 11 feet 9 inches from paw to paw. MEDFORD. ORE.

Deuel ' Adminittratrix rarreu ai Blacxhurit Attorney! lot AdmlnlitraUiX The Medical by New Way of Handling Psychopathic Criminals - In a recent column, I men tioned a wonderful "Medical Facility" they have built in C a 1 ifornia to try to find out how many criminals are p s y chotic or epileptic; how many are in Curable, and how many can be rehabilitat ed with the help of good m Alvarei psychiatrists, good social work ers, and good trade scnoois. In this remarkable institu tion in.Vaeavllle, all the fac tors in regard to a prisoner are studied. The man's court record is read; and probation officers and the man's family and even acquaintances are interviewed so as to get their Impressions and suggestions in regard to him. A psychia trist interviews the man. He is studied to see If, possibly he has some manual skill or ability that he could .develop. Perhaps he could be prepared to go back into the world, not as a professional and confirm ed- and life-long thief, but as a skilled worker. During the interviews, the prisoner can talk out many of his pent-up anxieties, his ten sions and his hostilities against society. Each man is given gymnasium training which helps him to use up excessive energy. A man can have reli gious counseling if he desires It. If he needs medical care or a surgical operation, he can have it. Occasionally a man will be angry with society un til a bad squint or an ugly nose is straightened. His teeth will be taken care of. Today, more and more, penologists are facing a fact that should have been obvious long ago that many habitual criminals are a bit psychotic. Many come from psychotic families. If a man is psychotic, it may be hopeless ever to expect him to fit into an honorable position in the community. He just cannot. Probably, in most cases, the psychosis is so in born that no experienced psy chiatrist would expect anyone to cure him. Commonest Disease The overwhelming majority of the 1,400 inmates at vaca- vllle are mentally disturbed and about 300 are decidedly psychotic. Schizophrenia,' of course, is the commonest dis ease, and in many of these cases it is severe. Other per sons are depressed and appre hensive and apathetic. In the order of greatest frequency, these men have committed of fenses involving stealing, sex, forgery, homicide, and the use of narcotics. I am sure that all of the men who commit crimes of great violence ' should have electroencephalograms made, because in these cases many of the records show an epilep tic pattern, f . . Then an anti-convulsive drug may greatly quiet the man's violent and . angry nature, Some of the psychotic offend ers, with the help of treat ment, become better able to handle their problems. The men with the worst psychoses may have to be committed to a state hospital for the crim inally insane. Some of the of fenders, when studied, are found to be mentally deficient, and this is why they got into Court Rules on Prisoner Appeals San rrancUco-flJPD-The fed eral constitution does not re quire state authorities to give prisoners time to prepare ap peals from their sentences, according to the U.S. Court ot Appeals. It ruled Tuesday that a state prisoner has "no due process right to spend his prison time or utilize prison facilities in an effort to discover a ground for overturning his presump tively valid judgment." The court reversed a deci sion by V.8. District Judge Qus J. Solomon of Portland, Ore. Solomon issued an in junction March 16, 1980, to restrain Oregon Oov. Mark Hatfield and other state offi cials from restricting activi ties of seven Oregon peniten tiary prisoners acting as their own lawyers. The three judge panel also said states have no obligation under the federal constitution to provide legal library facilities and opportu nities for their use. bo FALSE TEETH Rock, Slide or Slip?

The most important point which judges and juries now so greatly need to recognize is that among these offenders careful study by experts shows that the overwhelming ma jority have long-standing be havior patterns of the obses sive-compulsive type (like in the Insane), characterized by sexual offenses, drug addic tion, and other deviations con trary to social standards. Some men are compelled by uncon trollable urges to do wrong things, such as setting fires. Obviously, such persons should not be given "30 days," they should be cared for for life or until they show signs of having calmed down and achieved sanity. Tranqullliers Help Many of the patients at Vacaville have been helped with tranquilizers. Many are enrolling in classes is which they will be given the educa tion which they failed to get in their youth. Some are be ing trained in vocational shops of several kinds. There they will be prepared to work at a trade, some of the men take correspondence courses. Many develop habits of work and of using their time which they never had before. Many had drifted into a life of crime be cause they had no idea of using their . leisure time . construc tively. Sports are encouraged because they do much for the men. There is a library in the building, and a librarian who will help the men to select good or useful books. It is greatly to be hoped that hard-headed'buslness men and other citizens soon will come to see that the programs which California is develop ing in Vacaville and Chino are bound to pay big divi dends in the rehabilitation of SpwceUp Add new Color, Beauty and Value to your home now, during the Big Boysen Paint Salel ; : For a limited time you can save money on top quality Boysen Paints.
