Edge It Elegantly UM0 II y Since July, 1955, a great change has come about in the conduct and function of the domiciliary program. To add meaning and direc tion to the members' daily schedule, a planned living pro gram has been established re quiring constructive employ ment of the hours available over and above that required for prescribed therapeutic regimen. An activity planning board functions at the domiciliary, having the responsibility of formulating and maintaining a plan of activity for each vet eral admitted for domiciliary care. The physician member of the activity planning board makes the evaluation of the ability to perform construct ive assignment. Formulates Plan The activity planning hoard formulates a plan of activity for each member that com prises constructive assign ment and leisure time activi ties. The plan of activity em bodies a daily performance of at least one specific construc tive assignment to the station operation. Any person or group is welcome to visit the domicil iary and arrangements for a lour may be completed by calling the administrative County To Receive $5,916 from State Jackson county is sched uled to receive $5,916 as its share of Oregon marine boat ing license fees, according to the Oregon state marine board.

Multnomah county received the largest amount of the $i:i0.296 distributed through out the slate $:i3, 219 for its II, 073 boats. During recent budget ses sions, the Jackson county budget committee approved allocation of $9,132 for two deputies In marine law en forcement and $700 for boat ing law enforcement equip ment. The deputies would have other duties during the off season. By United Press International Charles Edward Chapel, the Assemblyman who said he was only joking, went to truil on charges of falsely report ing explosives aboard an airliner. The Palos Verdes Estates Republican admitted re marking his briefcase con tained nitroglycerine and a gun. But Chapel testified he made the remark to a seat mate. Stewardess Judy Churchill, however, said the statement was made to her twice. The Sacramento to Los An geles flight March 15 was held up 53 minutes while air line officials and police ex amined Chapel's briefcase, and interrogated the veteran lawmaker. Former Gov. Goodwin J. Knight appeared as a "char acter" witness in Chapel's be half. He termed the assembly man s reputation as excellent." Despite Chapel's claim the whole incident was a joke, prosecutor G. N. Tocher em phasized that a 1961 state statute, for which the law maker voted, fails to provide for such humor.
