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.
