(X) VOTE for HENRY F. PADGHAM Democratic Candidal for STATE SENATOR Pd. Pol. Adv. by H. Padgham 1309 Court, Medford IOPEN MONDAYS 9:30 - 9:00 - TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY Among activities at school during Library Week, the first grade classes visited the Chil- Salem-fUM-A Lane county , circuit court order perma nently taking a 19-month-old girl away from her mother and putting the child under welfare custody has been struck down by the Oregon Supreme court. The high court, in a deci sion written byJustice Harold J. Warner, reversed Circuit Judge Edward Leavy. The Lane County Welfare commission launched proceed ings against the mother, De anna Dorecn Grady, seeking to permanently terminate her .parental rights to the child, youngest of three daughters. The high court while deny ing this ordered welfare offi cials to continue custody of the child but only until the mother "demonstrates to the court that she -has been re habilitated and is competent to care for the child In a man ner not detrimental to its welfare." Custody Justified Justice Warner wrote that the facts show while tempo rary welfare custody is Justi fied, there is nothing in the mother s history to show "anv inherent trits of character than cannot be corrected." Warner said that It is "no slight thing to permanently deprive a parent of the care, .custody and society of a child'' or to deprive a chilrjcaf the protection, guidance and af feet ion of a parent. The mother had appealed Judge Lcavy's order taking the child away for good. The voluntary manslaugh ter conviction of LaVerne Ruff in Klamath county and a 12 year prison term was upheld in a decision by Jus tice William Perry. Miss Ruff fatally stabbed a man during a hunting parly of four per sons. The man who was stab bed apparently was Jealous of attentions he thought Miss Ruff was receiving from an other man. Perry said the woman had 1 fair trial. An Army wife ran into a residency requirement snag In a divorce case against her husband as the court reversed a decree in her favor issued by Benton County Circuit Judge Fred McHcnry. The decision, written by Justice Alfred T. Goodwin, held in favor of the husband. Capt. William S. Volmer, now released from active duty and a graduate student at Oregon State university. In addition to the divorce, ' Mrs. Volmer had been grant ed custody of three children plus child support. The high court said Mrs. Volmer hnri failprf tn nstalilick a separate domicile in Oregon i for a year before commence ment of the suit, as required by law. Residency Didn't Count Justice Goodwin noted that Capt. Volmer served in the military for some time and at all times for military pur poses claimed Clairton, Pa., as his permanent address. Their time together in Cor vallis therefore doesn't count toward her one year's Oregon residency requirement. The court also noted that In the case of a military man ordered to a post in Oregon, the fact of residence in the stale standing alone isn't evidence of intent to make a home here. Registra tion of a car in Oregon or application for a state driver's license aren't sufficient by themselves cither to show such Intent. Olhtr Decisions Williams Baker, appellant vs. Ralph Co? aprajal from Lane county; opinion by Jus lice. Perry; judge diaries S. Woodrich affirmed; dPcreaj dismissing a complaint by the bakery to recover the price of goods under a franchise to sell Williams' products. H. J.
