RivenicU 773-4346 Edith Green Plans Amendment To Migrant Children Proposal Franklin By YVONNE FRANKLIN Mail Tribuna Washington Bureau Washington (Special) - Lcr Islatlon designed to protect the children of migrant la borers, but which many Oregon ians feci ovcrpro t e c t their own, will be amended b y Rep. Edith Green to meet (he special needs of Ore gon. As passed by the Senate, S.112U forbids 12 to 14-year-old children from traveling over 25 miles to pick crops. Mrs. Green said she is considering such alter natives as increasing the dis tance to SO miles, or requir ing employers to pay the youngsters for the time it tak es to travel to and from the Job, without any precise mile age limit. S. 1 1 23 is now in the House Rules Committee with no clue as to when or if It will he re ported to the House floor for a vole. This is but one of a series of ambitious bills which a subcommittee spokesman says were designed to give the American agricultural worker as decent standards of work as the Mexicans who are brought In to work the large corporation farms on contract. The primary purpose of S.1123 and companion bill S.1124 Is to physically protect and foster the education of children of migrant workers throughout the nation espe cially in states less sensitive to their needs than Oregon which, among other things, has set up programs to edu cate them in the summertime. Attempt To Bridge Gap Very few states have child labor laws governing agricul ture, and the federal child la bor laws do not cover chil dren outside of regular school hours. The pending bill is an attempt to bridge the gap. Mrs. Green has received over 250 letters In the past month protesting the bill. She supports it and explains its nurnose to those writing her. She said that testimony Indi cated that there have been great abuses of children throughout the country. A committee spokesman listed the physical hazards to children who are immature physically and mentally. stressing that farming is the third most hazardous occupa tion after mining and con struction. Thousands of acci dents bcfnll children une quipped to handle the machin es on the increasingly more automated corporation farms. A concommitant of automa tion is the acute need to edu cate migrant children, not only for their own well-being, but to keep them off die heavily swollen welfare and unemployment rolls. Traveling from slate to state, which may or may not have classroom space to en roll them, or ignoring enforce ment officials who generally wink at compelling attend ance, the children find them selves from two to four years behind their schoolmates. The shame of this, as well as the physical size of teenagers in classes with ten and eleven year olds, forces them to dropout. p51 MM! Swimming Tests A free city-wide aquatic tetting pro gram is being offered through the YMCA physical department. The purpose of this program is to test all youth in the area to find out how safe they are around water. Your child will be given a test of his swimming ability, then given two free swimming lessons. The lesson will teach him or her new skills so they can develop on their way to being physically fit. The Child Will Be Placed in This Scale 1. Tadpole Very Beginner 2. Flounder Advanced Beginner 3. Minnow Intermediate 4. Fish Advanced Intermediate 5. Flying Fish Advanced 6. Shark Expert The test will b given on Wednesday, June 27, Saturday, June 30 and Saturday, July 7. 9:00 a.m. for girli and boys 8-10 10 00 a.m. for girls ind boys 11-up Present This Coupon for the Test end Initruction W or Call the YMCA-772-6295 Register Before June 30 Migrant children who work after school hours are most times too exhausted to do their school work. They also often arrive in areas during so called crop vacation time and, assuming they do enroll, may never catch up with the resi dent children. Reports show that migrant parents, usually with third grade educations, do not un derstand what is happening to agriculture and assume jobs will'always be available. They say "a third grade education was good enough for me and it's good enough for my kid" but, the experts keep saying, it is not. 5.1123 plus S.1124 which also passed the Senate, is an attempt to help those children whose parents can't or won't see to it that they stay in school and prepare for a fu ture that may not include ag ricultural work for them be cause of automation. Would Pay Costs 5.1124 provides that for two years the federal government would pay 100 per cent of costs to State educational agencies to help defray the cost of educating migratory children during the regular school session. Thereafter it would be matching grants. 11 also provides $300,000 i n grants for each of five years for summer schools for mi grant children. Also in the works are S.1130, a Health Bill which would provide certain public health services, such as the mobile treatment and innocu lation clinics. Migrants usual ly have no health care, and states which have used mobile units have effectively cut the rate of communicable disease and misery. S.U31 provides Day Care or nursery service to mothers who go into the fields. S.3382 requires that ade quate sanitary facilities be provided migrants. Convicted Killer Goes Free on Bond Portland - dim - Lee Allen Parker of Portland, a cement finisher twice convicted of second degree murder in the same case, was free on bond here today. Parker, 34. was released Thursday on $10,000 surety bond by the order of Circuit Judge Charles W. Redding. He has been in jail 4'i years for the "body-in-the-well'' slaying of Robert lloll oway, a fellow cement work er. Hollowny's body was found in a well near Vernonia. An appeal of the second conviction is pending before the Oregon Supreme Court. The court granted Parker his second trial. Forest Visitors Are Cautioned of Fire In Mountain Areas Visitors to Rogue River Na tional forest areas have been asked to use caution with fire because of a drying trend dur ing the past week. Fishing was reported good in many places with improved weather, according to the weekly recreation report from Rogue River National forest. By districts, the recreation report is: Alhland diitrici: Fishing at Fish lake was good last week end. Fish lake campground and the facilities at the Fish lake resort were filled to ca pacity. Stream fishing is im proving. The woods are now dry enough for fires to spread rap idly. Smokers and persons building campfires are remind ed that good judgment must be applied to the use of fires. Governor Hatfield has an nounced that the Ashland Wa tershed is closed to entry be cause of fire danger. However, the Ashland Loop road and the Tolman Creek rd. will re main open for through traffic. Detailed information concern ing this closure may be ob tained from the district ranger at Ashland. Construction activity on the new highway between Lake of the Woods and Fish lake may cause delays in travel. The road is extremely rough. The road from the Dead In dian road to Fish lake has been graded, and is in fairly good shape. The Mt. Ashland Loop rd. still is blocked by snowdrifts. Butte Falls District: All dis trict roads are open and in good condition. Motorists are cautioned to watch for heavy logging traffic during the week days. Willow Prairie and Snow shoe campgrounds have been enlarged. The new camp grounds are now open as are the other campgrounds. The nights are still chilly and campers are advised to take warm clothing. Ice is gone from Grass lake in the Seven Lakes basin. Snow still covers most of the trail into the area. Prospect district: This week the roads on the Prospect Ranger district are clear of snow, except for the Umpqua Divide rd. All roads are in good condition except the Elk Creek (Buzzard Mine) and Grey Rock rds., which have not yet been graded. Fishing in the Rogue river and the streams is normal now, which means you might catch fish and you might not. The fish are there and willing to bite if you give them the right bait at the right time in the right way. Temperatures are running 10 to 12 degrees cooler at Prospect than at Medford. The nights are still cold. Union Creek district: Forest roads on the Union Creek dis trict are closed by snow at ele vations about 5,000 feet. Tour ists are advised to use cau tion on the lower portions of the Huckleberry Mt. and National-Wizard access roads be cause of heavy logging truck traffic. A welcome change in the climate has brought warm weather and clear skies, mak ing fishing conditions ideal. Reported catches are many and good. With the exception of Huck leberry Mt., all campgrounds are now open. To provide additional facili ties at the Union Creek camp ground, road construction will continue throughout this month, Monday through Fri day. Beckies Cafe is open 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. standard time. Tourist accomodations are available at the Union Creek resort. Supplies and gas may be purchased from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. standard time.
