10 A Vcni-Vidi By MARGARET SCHULER Rome - Visualize Medford, If you can at our Main and Central "piazza," with a large fountain in the center, around which is a circle of cars. Vis ualize the four corners with cars parked diagonally on the pedestrian stops. Visualize (and this is more difficult) automobiles parked on the sidewalks, against the banks for example, the Hotel Med ford, and the approach to the Library. Add to this car-lined alleys, two rows of traffic, between the parking in the street - all shoving, pushing and dodging in a solid line to Jacksonville. Consider the pedestrian scurrying in and out among, behind and around cars. Then you have n idea of Rome traffic 1962. Of course add to our pleasant Medford population of 30,000, two million more. In various ways, Rome of fers more for the charioteers than does Medford. There are Erand circles to squeal around on two wheels, wondrous mazes of streets to shoot out of, or into, as the case may be, from central squares, which affords the little fel low opportunities tb prove how apt he is at missing the pedestrian - before or aft. Long curving avenues a bit farther out, are natural racing corsos to test the sport ing competitive spirit among the Romans to see who can beal whom fastest. It is but natural that there must be certain deterrents to all this exuberance. White suited. .hatted and gloved po licemen work hard, waving hands turning right and left, demanding halts. Certain spots in Rome have red and green lights, and there are wide white marked pedes trian crossings. It is curious though - unless the swarm of walkers make a gesture like raising high a hand - they still charge. Europeans are accustomed to authority, how ever, and when even I, per emptorily raise my hand, the best of them come to a noisy hall. "Nightmare on the Berber ini" 1 olfcr as a suggestion for the title of a subject for n painting. Make it eight in the evening, at shop closing lime, with trams, buses, auto mobiles, Vespas (their rip roaring noisy motorcycles) -blocked and dead. Stark real ity. ' When the S. P. Q. R. - the government of Rome - de cides to install parking me ters, I hope I am here. I like fo contemplate the picture of the big city with parking me ters. These things come to my mind. Will they tuck them up against hotel walls, with odd ones at open spots on the sidewalks? Will they run par allel, two or three rows of them along the avenues wide enough to squeeze them in, and will there be those placed conveniently at right angles? As the majority of the cars are the tiny Fiats, will the space be adjusted to that size? Then, what about the mamma and papa sized cars? Fortu nately the problem of the gargantUHn American Chev rolcts. Fords and others, won't be too great as there are very few American cars here. But will those that arc. be assessed fines for three parking places? Then I ponder about the amount of money which will be required for an hour park ing. A ten lira coin is worth but one and a half cents; not much for an hour's parking. The fifty lira coin is eight cents; that seems a bit sleep. It all poses an interesting problem, and I enjoy trying to figure it out for the SPQR as I step politely out Into the street, in deference to the car on the sidewalk. Actually, I suppose I shouldn't worry loo much. The S. P. Q. R. must have had traffic problems to solve ore this. In the good old days, undoubtedly, gay young blades in their bright sport model chariots must have whirled through the Forum, up the Corso. and around the Colosseum in alarming fash Ion, giving white gloved po licemen, even then, a bad time. A young man arrived today from Germany. Me reported that traffic on the highways Is such that it requires seven hours to travel what should take two hours. At one spot, he said, sixty cars collided because they were too close to one another to avoid It when the one in front was forced to stop suddenly. It Is alleged that the gov ernment of Italy Is seriously considering the problem of traffic. Annual Picnic Held by Casters Plioenix-The annual picnic of the Casler family was held Sunday, July 29. at the home nf Mr. and Mrs. Orville Caster on Ililsinger road. A ball game and other games were on the program. Forty-two family members from the Rogue valley and California attended. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1. 1S2 Juvenile Courts Said Not Performing Function Washington Juvenile courts in the United States often are not performing their function as part of the treat ment of the individual and even may be Inhibiting that treatment. So says William T. Downs, deputy administrator of the Supreme Court of Michigan, in an article ap pearing in the current issue of Children, a journal publish ed by U. S. Children's Bu reau. , Mr. Downs feels that too much concern about the "trau matic" effect on youngsters appearing in juvenile court and attempts to make them feel "at home" may be un dermining goals of judges and other court workers. Girl Scout Drive Set In Yreka Yreka Mrs. Donald Cle ments, a senior Girl Scout troop leader of Yreka, has been named chairman of the annual Yreka Girl Scout fund drive, according to Mrs. Don a 1 d Kemp, publicity chair man, who. is the leader of Brownie Troop 28 of Yreka. Volunteer workers under the leadership of Mrs. Cle ments will endeavor to raise $2500 to continue and expand Scout activities for girls from 7 to 17 years old in this area. The campaign slogan is "Girl Scouting Today Makes Better Citizens Tomorrow." Mrs. Clements explained that scouting is supported by the annual independent fund drives in each community and urged residents of the Yreka area to assist their Scouts in reaching the goal. There are 19 Girl Scout troops and 233 Girl Scouts in the district. Those wishing to assist in the drive arc asked to contact Mrs. Clements at VI 2-3802, or Mrs. Kemn VI 2-4672. Baby sitting will, be provided for volunteers and Mrs. Howard Betts, VI 2-3673 is in charge of this service. Chapter Plans Show Once confined to certain seasons, fashion shows are now held throughout the year in the Rogue valley. Beta Upsilon chapter of Beta Sigma Phi has planned a benefit fashion show for I Tuesday, August 14, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Skinner, 2112 Hillside drive. The event will be slaged on the patio and terraces of the Skinner garden and around the swimming pool. Clothing will be from Jean Hart s store. The event is open to the public and Mrs. Larry Rose, 773-3753. is ticket chairman. Mrs. Rose is chapter presi dent. Sorority Plans Picnic. Swimming Alpha Beta chapter. Beta Sigma Phi, is planning a picnic-swimming party to be held at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, August 9, at the home of Mrs. H. S. Morris, 1244 Covins ave nue. All chapters in the Medford Area City council arc invited to attend, as well as represent a lives from chapters In Grants Pass and Ashland. A discussion group Is planned to exchange prelimi nary plans for the state con vention to be held In southern Oregon in 1964. AAedford Couple Ends Vacation Mr. and Mrs. Clay M. Lee. Cargill court, have returned from a vacation which lnclnd ed the World's Fair in Seattle and slops in Tacnma and Port land. While attending the fair, they were guests of Mr. .uid Mrs. Laurance L. Fisco, Ed monds, Wash. Mrs. Fisco and Mrs. Lee both were employed on the staff nf the Centraha Daily Chronicle. Washington, at the same time. The Lees found the lair In teresting and report the larg est attendance was 67,000 Hie week they were there. Lines were long, but time went quickly in conversation with other fair visitors. They saw Bert Parks in "The Music Man" at the Aqua Theatre, and enjoyed him in I inr roie in narom tun. val py, "Comedy of Errors." In lacoma, they were house Thry wfrt accompany ,0 the guests of Mr. Lee s brother :plllv bv n,on-s mth ano wife. Mr. and Mrs John;Ml w. R Wood, a resident S Lec. Another brother, I n v.ii... Claude V. Lee and familv I nn I .1.. Joined the family in Taeomj. It was the first time the three brothers had been together in 30 years Since Portland was the l.ee home for many years, they renewed many friendships They made a trip to the zoo I especially to see Tacky " the baby elephant so much in the news. "I am not advocating severe punishment for juvenile of fenders or 'criminal court formality" in juvenile court. I am suggesting a new look, a reappraisal of what the juvenile courts are expected to do, and how they are do ing it. And I suggest that the focus of this reappraisal be on the court process itself, from point of intake to point of disposition." Seems To Excuit In seeking to understand the child's behavior, the juve nile court has inadvertently seemed to excuse his behavior, according to Mr. Downs. "That is to say, in our court process, we may have seemed to regard the individual's be havior as though it were a conditioned response to his en vironment, like the responses of laboratory mice in a maze." Such an attitude, he contin ues, disregards the fact that thousands of children from broken homes, or slums, or minority groups grow up to be good citizens. "It ignores the fact that c God's creatures we are all blessed with a freedom of choice to make of ourselves what we will. It seems to me that while justly abhorring poverty and the handicaps it imposes on young people, we have erred in implying that children in certain circum stances do not have the free dom to choose between right and wrong." If the court by its very na ture represents authority, then the court and all its mem bers must behave in a suitable manner, Mr.- Downs believes. The court, as a social in stitution, cannot behave as some judges are fond of say ing they do, like a 'wise and understanding father.' Even if it were desirable for the court to assume the role of a wise and understanding parent, it fhould be remembered that such a parent plays many roles In his relationship with his child, one of. which is to require obedience. It is in this aspect of the father's role thai the court is cast when it deals with a juvenile of fender." Mr. Downs believes that juvenile courts Should re-establish respect for duly constituted author ity. Should be careful not to extend their operations to areas of service to children or families which do not re quire the use of authority. Should permit no criticism of the police by intake work ers nor workers who prepare the social study for the judge. ("Just as a child is quick to sense a difference of opinion between parents, and work one against the other, he is also quick to make use of a difference between court and and police personnel.") Should insist, when pos sible, that both parents be present at the hearing. ("The matter should not come to a hearing unless it is serious; and if it is serious, it demands the parents' attention.") Should conduct hearings with order, dignity and fair ness, tlf there is one impres sion which makes further treatment of the young person almost impossible, it is that of having been treated unfair ly.") Mom-Tots Class Planned at Y Another swim class for moms and lots is being organ ized at the Medford YMCA. The class, In which mothers will be given instruction in helping their children learn to swim will begin Friday, August 3, with hours from 10:30 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. The series will be held earh Tuesday and Friday for 10 sessions.

As a carry-over from summer, the western look rides hiuh and becomes I he second big influence.
