There is still sufficient time to correct problems. Tu toring may be helpful if the proper situation exists. Difficulties in adjustment which are common in Septem ber should not continue now. Any problems which are pres ent should bo given careful consideration. Analyze the problems and their causes. You can obtain assistance at your school. Your child's teachers can de scribe the problems in detail. A check for the possible causes is important. This can be done in cooperation with the school. Perhaps, you will want to seek outside advice from your family doctor or Dennis the Menace i II I l!-"lAx Mi I m n 'I don't think I'm like mvcwj kAU ! He's TMiez.

Tutoring can be more suc cessful if specific difficulties which block learning are cor rccted. In some cases the tutoring will be helpful in easing emotional problems, while in other cases it may be harmful. Your decision to begin tu toring should be a joint one between you, the school, other specialists, and the child. The child's attitude must be con sidered. If he objects, you should not begin tutoring urv til he has been convinced ot the value. Once a decision for tutor ing has been made, chances for success will be highly de pendent upon the choice of an instructor. This should be based upon the type of prob lem and causes. Should the teacher be male or female? There could be a good ef fect from a mole in the fam ily in which the father is not home very often. Should the tutor be a regu lar teacher or a remedial spe cialist? This really depends upon the individual and the child's problem. Look for someone who is familiar with the particular difficulty. The tutor should have a warm friendly personality. The re lationship with the child must be enthusiastic, but relaxed, encouraging, and properly structured. There should be feeling of progress. Al though major results may be slow, the child needs to see some early success. Careful thought should be given to the length and num ber of sessions. Three quarters to one hour appears to be an appropriate time. A longer period may be too tiresome while a shorter period is not sufficient to accomplish any real instruction in the aca demic subjects. The number of times per week depends upon the type of problem and the child's total schedule. In most cases, the child has many other re sponsibilities. He needs time for regular school work and relaxation. This matter should be discussed with the tutor and the student. The sessions should be close enough so that there is continuity in the in struction. Tutoring generally serves a particular need. Do not con tinue it beyond this point. You do not want it to become a "crutch." Perhaps it should be dropped gradually so that the child maintains his new confidence. You should recognize that tutoring is not the answer for all academic problems. It can be valuable u tne aimospnere anri conditions are Droocr Base your decision upon the problems and causes. Look for answers. Do not make a hasty decision without careful searching. Forestry Program Lauded in Report Salem OJPD The pilot sum mer camp program of the State Board of Forestry left participants "with a healthier attitude toward society and life in general,"- State Fores ter Dwight L. Phlpps said Wednesday. The comments were includ ed in the forestry board's bi ennial report. The program was authoriz ed by the 1961 legislature, and 70 potential high school dropouts participated in the first two camp sessions. The program cost the coun ties $27,208, and the state $39,680. The report also noted: - -1962 was the most favor able fire year in the history of northwest Oregon, with only 8,441 acres burned, com pared to 65,000 acres in lBbl. -Reforestation efforts re sulted in 26,139 acres being seeded, and 13,573 acres planted with seedlings. -Pay for state foresters should match U.S. govern ment pay scales to retain (rained personnel. New Regulations on Applications for Small Tracts Noted Portland Swindlers who cheat elderly easterners out of their savings with land selling frauds in the West will find it more difficult in the future under terms of new regulations announced by Secretary of the Interior Stewart L. Udall. The bureau of land man agement has called attention to the changes which permit automatic rejection of appli cations for small tracks of federal land unless the land has been opened to applica tion. The regulation removes one of the major selling points which illegitimate pro moters have used to defraud victims. "Now that Congress has turned the spotlight of pub licity on a vicious racket in private lands in the West we hope the public will also wake up to the tricks some promoters are using to fool the public about federal pub- syl ' d,g donus value !

Charges of mail order frauds in palming off useless private land were among the first accusations aired by the inquiry. "No federal land is in volved in these cases," Udall said. "But we want people to be aware there are sharp dealers who charge sizeable fees for filing useless applica tions for public land which the victims don't have any chance whatsoever of ob taining." "The Interior Department's bureau of land management lias small tracts available for sale from time to time in the western public land states," Udall continued. "They are parcels of up to five acres suitable for residential busi ness or community sites. Pro moters with an eye out for a fast buck have talked people into paying them for filing .applications for the land. "Thousands of gullible peo ple have thought they were putting down payments on the lands when in fact they were only paying a promoter to do what they can do free for themselves or have the government do for them free or for practically nothing." Use Sam Approach Secretary Udall said un scrupulous promoters use the same approach in describing federal land which they can not sell as they use in describ ing private land, claiming that it has water and other utilities, easy access and plots for occupancy when the land is usually raw desert miles from water and lacking in de velopments that would make it habitable. The new order authorized the department's bureau of land management to reject small tract. applications if the land has not already been found to be valuable for such disposal, Udall explained. Even if the land hs been so classified it will normally be sold at public auction so there will be no reason to filp an application, he said.
