A 17-year-old girl from Jackson county stood in court and admitted she was out late, was riding in a car which was stolen, that she did take the handbag, on a dare, and that she and her friends had been ap prehended on other occasions for .similar things. Her boy friend was sentenced on charges of auto mobile theft; she also was sentenced, but the judge offered her the facilities at Villa St. Rose in Portland, where she could continue her education. She accepted. The 17-year-old girl could have been one of 13 girls from Jackson county who were cared for at Villa St. Rose in 1S161, when a total of 3,758 days of care were given local girls. Jackson county was the greatest user of this serv ice outside Multnomah and Clackamas counties. Aniit In Rehabilitation The school is operated by the Sisters of the Good Shepherd to assist in the rehabilitation of high school girls under court commitment. A complete school pro gram, with emphasis on homemaking and business education is implemented by a trained staff, which includes social workers and psychologists. Since she entered the school, the girl has been re habilitated under a program which rehabilitates more than 200 girls annually. The Villa St. Rose is one of 10 child care agencies in the Oregon United appeal approved by the Jackson county United Crusade. The school's effect in Jackson county may not be felt as greatly as some of the United Crusade agencies pictured on this page, but the school creates useful citizens from potential problems for society. The agencies pictured on this page directly benefit the lives of people in or passing through Jackson county. They are agencies which serve the young, lonely child through a guidance program, and elderly people passing through who need shelter or food. They are agencies which offer a variety of services. Annual Campaign to Start - Tomorrow morning, a group of volunteers will have breakfast together to kick off the annual cam paign for funds to support 30 agencies of the United Crusade in Jackson county. The goal this year is $167,683, an increase over last year because agencies have been added, costs for agency operations have increased, and a greater popu- , lation demands more service. Robert Hcffernan, chairman of the campaign, hopes the goal will be reached for the 10th consecutive year without difficulty. The campaign probably will con tinue until the goal is reached, as it has in the past. Funds collected in the campaign will help support six agencies for health with a total of $13,188 from drive funds, 15 agencies for welfare with a budget of $K8,370, and nine agencies for youth with a total of $B5,112.
