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

satellites, of the new mathe

Dr. Mead was one of sev

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.

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

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,

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."

tive Life for Your Children"

Improved
Although irradiated meats
have been improved since
they were first Introduced,
many problems remain that
discourage their acceptance,
says Anglemelr. 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. Instead,
