By CAY PAULEY UPI Womon'a Editor New York (UPD Today, it la the children who are most at home In the world. The adulta have become the stranger! and i m m i f rants, uyi noted an anthropologist Dr. Margaret Mead. Once, ihe said, it waa the grand- 5 parents who oi rioin were- tho wiacst. Tiien it was the par ents reared within the preient ge who were moat able to di rect their children. Now, says Dr. Mead, the family needs "to be organized so that the adults can absorb the chil- dren's growing knowledge of I greater support for the young I the present age of space, of satellites, of the new mathe matics, of the oneness of this small planet called earth on which we live." Dr. Mead was one of sev eral participants in a confer ence on the future of the U.S. family a : conference . spon sored by the Child Study as sociation of America, observ ing it! 75th anniversary, and Better Homes and Gardens Magazine. The conference opened Monday. Shift In Family Dr. Mead, associate curator of Ethnology at the Amerl' can Museum of Natural His tory and adjunct professor of anthropology at Columbia university, said it is "not gen erally recognized that we are moving towards a new family form, a form that has not yet been named, a form that Is not yet clear. But the condi tions which underlie the emergence of this new from are clear enough." She listed the conditions thus: .-One: An accelerated rate of change so that not only may adolescents and parents expect to enter a changed world, but grandparents must also be prepared to live for many years in active relation ship with a world that is con stantly changing. -Two: ". . .

By Rosalie Prultt Louisa Malot Joanotte Mitchell Barbara Babbitt Mariana Funk 'Glenn Funk people who marry early and are attempting to bring up children under extremely dif ficult conditions." - . " . . . Something is definite ly needed to end the isolated, exposed position of two very young parents attempt ing to rear aeveral children all by themselves with no one to advise and comfort, no one to take over in emergencies, no one to rely on in the small, day to day details of living. "This need ... Is accentu ated by the number of wom en who are working full or part-time and add a second responsibility . . .to the first which already is too much for them." Who Trains Children? -Three: The third condition is the extent to which parent! can no longer control the moral training of their children. " . . . The present low standard of ethical behavior in the country, varying from officials of large companies to cheating college students, re flects the breakdown in the last 30 years of parents' abil ity to give their children clear ethical direction within a scene that was changing too rapidly." ., Dr. Mead told the confer ence there has been a change In the role experience plays in the family life. "Now, U is the children who are most at home in the world, and the adults who are the strangers and immi grants," she said. "Fortunate ly . . we have already been somewhat accustomed to learn from our children'. . ." Study of AAeat Tenderness Made at OSU Corvallis Beef roasts and chops are more likely to be tender in the future if Oregon State university scientists are able to pin down the basic causes of tenderness in meat. Meat tenderness in beet has been related mainly to aging and the amount of connective tissue and marbling across the meat. But the basic reasons why some beof Is tough and some tender have not yet been determined. For the next three years, OSU food scientists Allen Anglemelr and Ft. F. Cain will Investigate changes in mineral makeup In meat that appears to be linked to the basic protein structure. Their study will be financed with a $60,000 grant from the U.S. department of health, educa tion and welfare. . OSU studies will be aimed at Improving the texture and tenderness of fresh and irrad iated meats those meats de veloped after tho war to pro- Gardeners Hear Talk By Botanist Ashland - "Life up your eyes unto the hills, might well be the subject of my talk," said Dr. Irene Hollcnbeck in preface to her illustrated pro gram given Monday afternoon for members of the Ashland Garden club. Through the eyes of a por trait lens the audience was shown in exquisite detail and color the wild flowers indig enous to southern Oregon as the college professor describ ed field trips into three moun tain areas at different seasons of the years. Along with her students the arm chair viewers ascended to snow-capped Mt. Ashland, stopping at different clcva tions to study and identify the flora. Another research tour was made to Hershberger flats and the intervening val leys and hillsides to Lookout at 7000 feet, while a third trip had for its destination Castle Crest garden near Cra ter lake junction headquar ters. Rula of Thumb - Dr. Hollenbeck's technical knowledge of botanical terms were translated into the more familiar names known to gar deners, adding greatly to the Informative talk. She gave as one rule of thumb the distin guishing features of a pine compared to a hemlock. On pine trees the cones stand up right, while the hemlock's tips droop downward. According to the botanist this particular area abounds in serpentine rocks (green and slick), which lace through granite formations and date back to the ice age. The rare alpine flowers and plants in the Siskiyou mountains have their origins in that far off era and are not sound else where. Memorial During the business meet ing conducted by the presi dent, Mrs. Ella Hendrixson, the club voted to approve the proposal of the memorial com mittee, which was presented by Mrs. Richard Westerfield, and hereafter will present shrubs or trees to the Com munity hospital grounds in memory of members who have died. Mrs. L. R. Coder gave the day's horticultural tips and discussed spring garden care and tha time for planting of flowers for early summer bloom. Refreshments were served from a springtime tea table at which Mrs. Mae Russell and Mrs. William Sampson presided. Hostesses were the Mcsdamcs E. E. McLaughlin, W. S. Stcnnctt, E. L. Royston, and Miss Virginia Raven. -. v. , .. ; ) ihPj.. j Linda Ryan, cast as Cecily Cardew, and Charles Keating in the rola of Algernon Moncrieif head the Cleveland Play house company cast which will present Oscar Wilde'i "Tha Importance of Being Earnest".

Booklet Is Obtainable On Adolescent Youth Parents who need reassur ance in their conviction tnat early marriages can be a mis take for adolescent youth will find it in the latest Children's Bureau publication, released recently, Mrs. Katherine B. Oettinger, Bureau Chief, said. "We in the Bureau feel that many parents are so torn between. accepting what their children want and trying not to interfere with them In their teenage life patterns that they need fortification to take a stand when their teenagers insist on marriage." Foster Spirit The publication, "A Crea tive Life for Your Children" extends the theme of the 1960 White House Confer ence on Children and Youth, Mrs. Oettinger said. It is, "If we can preserve and foster the creative spirit that begins its growth in a child's at tempts to Understand the world about him and allow him freedom in expressing how he feels about it, we will help inspire him to grow into a creative, constructive adult." Written by the noted an thropologist Margaret Mead, the publication states: "Adolescents need time to absorb the new drer.ms and new directions, time to sort out the real from "le unreal time to measure ability against ambition without too much heartbreak, time to be come part of the future and to make the future part of themselves. . Casualties "The casualties of our so ciety are the young people for whom this opening up of possibilities does not happen, who are not given, do not take the needed time. These are the young people who Dlunae into some form of substitute adulthood-race hot rods, dress like artists rather than working at becoming artists, marry and become parents without growing up. In a foreword to the publi cation, Mrs. Oettinger said, "The Children's Bureau and everyone associated with children owe Margaret Mead a great debt of gratitude for giving us a glimpse of what a creative life for children can mean to us as parents and teachers; to them as pur veyors of the future."

One problem that has shown up in previous tests is overtenderizatlon in meat after irradiation. OSU workers found that soaking meat in . water before it's ir radiated seems to increase its acceptance. In this year's work, they will study the unique prop erty of meat to take up wa ter, hold it, and in turn af fect meat texture. Water, they think, may cause a shift in the metallic elements cal cium, potassium, lodlum and others with a subsequent rearrangement in the protein structure. Information learned about this shift may provide some background about muscle dis eases in humans and help ex plain what happens to hu man tissue as people age. Con trary to popular belief, peo ple do not naturally "dry up" as thry get older.
