At Center
Miss Randy Costello, Rogue
River High school, and John
Reid, Ashland High school,
returned this week af
ter spending some time at the
Red Cross Leadership Train
(ng center near Mt. Scott,
Portland. East year, students
from different county high
schools in the county are sent
by the Jackson county chapter
to the training center. This
year approximately 80 dele
gates from Red Cross chapters
in Oregon, California, Wash
ington, Idaho, Canada and
Alaska attended.
The first leadership center
was in 1944, and since that
time 63,400 students have par
ticipated in planning and sent
students to 80 centers
throughout the country. The
American Red Cross also
sponsors annual leadership
centers for young American
dependents as well as for na
tive students in the Far East
and Europe.
The purposes of these lead
ership development centers
for youth are: To provide an
opportunity for development
and growth under conditions
conducive to the understand
ing, development and appre
ciation of those personal atti
tudes and ideals upon which
our democratic heritage is
basedi
To provide an opportunity
for the development of skills
so that, given the opportunity
to learn by doing, the young
person may function effective
ly in his role as leader.
To provide an opportunity
to obtain knowledge of Red
Cross and the world commun
ity that will equip the young
leader to serve his fellow man
with wisdom and understand
ing. Both Jackson county dele
gates attended the Youth
Aquatic school sponsored by
the Jackson county chapter
last June at which time they
demonstrated their ability,
skills, and interest in learn
ing more about Red Cross and
furthering the youth program
in their schools. John is the

Desks Useful,
And Decorative
In Living Room
By JOYCE SCHULLER
Chicago -iUPIU Use a desk
to set off a corner of the liv
ing room for reading, writing
and hobbies. It makes good
decorating sense with the
proper choice of functional
furniture.
First requisite: a desk that
looks attractive from the
front as well as behind. You
might consider on with
book-shelves built into the
front.
Set the desk at right angles
with a wall, just far enough
from the corner to leave space
for a big easy chair and end
table. Built-in bookcases
would be ideal along the
other wall forming the corner,
but wall-hung ones take up
little extra space and look as
good.
Hanging Lamp
A hanging lamp over the
desk, preferably one with a
wide shade to spread light
over a large area, can provide
illumination for desk as well
as chair, eliminating the clut
ter of an extra end table
lamp or floor fixture.
Wall-mounted lamps are a
particularly good choice.
Many of the newer models
telescope in and out from the
wall, swing from one side to
another and lift or lower to
throw light wherever It's ;
needed.
More practical than a wood
surfaced desk, if the corner
is to provide space for hob
bies, too, are the many now
surfaced with plastics such as
formica or fibcrcsin. Paste,
ink, paints, clay or scissors
won't mar these washable sur
faces. Final Touch .
For a final decorator touch,
give the corner an area rug
;of its own. Consider a pat
terned rug if the rest of the
living room is carpeted in a
solid color, but keep the pat
tern small and simple not to
detract from the main rug
j Synthetic fiber rugs are the
imost practical for the pur
pose, since spilt ink or paints
generally can be washed out
I readily.
Houseguesrs
Mr. and Mrs. Huse McKin
ncy. of 422 Soulh Fir street,
have as their houseguests their
daughter and grandson of
Juneau. Alaska. Mrs. Robert
Holficld and son, Bradford.
They plan to slay about three
weeks. Mr. Holficld is a ser
geant with the state police of
Alaska.
accidents.
An easy way to organize
the work is to make out a
written list of tasks for each
member of the family, sug
gests Jean Kinkead, woman's
consultant for The Travelers
Insurance companies. Here's
a checklist of clean-up jobs
vou can assign to members of
the family according to age
and muscle power.
Start in Attic
Starting with the room at
the top, the attic, throw away
old papers, boxes and cartons
that have accumulated. It
will save time if you go
through things first yourself,
mark everything that is to go
and then let junior supply the
brawn for carting it out.
Another good job for a
teenager is a thorough check
of the wiring in the house.
Baseboard plugs, lamps and
appliances should all be exam
ined carefully for fraying or
looseness. Make sure there
are no wires running under
carpets and that every mem
ber of the household has a
lamp handy to his bed.
Do Yourself
A job you should do your
self is the locking away of
drugs and poisons. Remember
that some of your cleaning
materials are potentially dan
gerous, too, and should be out
of reach of small children.
The children's toys are apt
to be found all over the house
and a baseball bat on the
stairs invites an accident. An
assignment for each child
might be the colection of his
own toys and belongings, put
away in his own toybox or
bookcase.
The cellar'is all too handy
a place for storing things
and junk is apt to pile up
quickly, making a real fire
hazard. Papers, half empty
paint cans, old rags and worn
rugs should be removed. Your
husband might also check
the furnace for cleaning and
make sure there are a couple
of buckets of sand or a fire
extinguisher handy. Also, the
oasement stairs should be
well lighted, in good repair
and have sturdy handrails.
Clear Yard
Piles of autumn leaves and
dead brush should be cleared
out of the yard. If there's no
pick-up service in your neigh
borhood, have "dad" burn the
trash in an Incinerator or near
the center of a clear field.
Burn only a little at a time
and have a hose handy. Never
burn on a windy day and be
sure you know your local fire
ordinances.
Put summer gardening tools
In an out-of-the-way corner.
Drain the power mower of
gasoline and hang up sharp
instruments such as sickles
and pruning shears out of
the children's reach. If you've
done a lot of painting and
furniture refinishing during
the summer, be sure cans and
bottles are tightly closed and
that no soaked rags are left in
corners.
Check Policies
Take a minute to check out
your insurance policies to see
that you are fully protected
from fire, liability and theft.
