19 A Mr. and Mr. James Richeion, (at left) 401 South Grovaland avanua, and Mr. and Mn. Richard Kentalman, 2018 Woodlawn Social Work Bureau Chief A major new tep aoon in the evolution of social work in the United Slates has been predicted by Mrs. Katherine B. Oetlinger, chief of the Children's Bureau. U. S. De partment of Health, Educa tion and Welfare. Mrs. Oetlinger staled: "We have almost complete ly changed our philosophy about what the social worker can and should do in the past 30 years. Before passage of Federal legislation in the wel fare field, the social worker worked for a voluntary char itable organization, which tried to meet the most basic economic needs of the very poor. Then, with the advent of social security legislation, this mission was expanded to include social service. Now we are increasingly seeing that the social worker has a vital role In helping depend ent people to become self-supporting. "There are obvious advan tages to the taxpayer when families become both econom ically and emotionally self supporting but the job is not easy. This seems to me to be the present mission of the so cial worker.

Change Due Declares The next step is to expand this mission so that social workers can help our great metropolitan areas, now con stantly expanding, to develop strengths in individual com munities so that today's nu clear family can set down rools In an urban society more complex than ever be fore in our history. "I am glad that the Na tional Association of Social Workers is endeavoring to encourage public understand ing of the important job that social workers have. "I hope that many more young people will enter this important and rewarding field. We now have some 10, 000 unfilled social work po sitions in the country, and some 15,000 additional social workers are needed each year to help our growing popula tion with their personal and social problems. Proud of Bureau "I am proud to be a part of the Children's Bureau, which has throughout its existence recognized the important job that social workers have to do, and the necessity that they have the training to do it well. Under our program of child welfare services grants last year, some 800 child wel fare workers employed in Slate and local welfare de partments were getting all pends which help them get training In the special skills to deal with complex human problems. "In addition to this method of enlarging the pool of trained child welfare work ers, we now have the author ity, under the 1962 Public Welfare amendments, to offer direct grants to nonprofit In stitutions of higher learning for the training of a pool of social workers In the field of child welfare. "Our national effort to re duce dependency and to make families economically and so cially productive will depend to a considerable extent on how successful these and oili er efforts arc In filling our social man-power needs."

MLDrOHD Social Events Republicans Of 'Upper Crust Says Speaker Republicans are known as the party of "the upper crust" and this should not be true according to Dr. Edwin R. Durno, former representative to the Congress from this dis trict who talked yesterday noon for the Jackson County unit, Oregon Federation of Women's Republican clubs. The party's member ship should represent all walks of life, the speaker said, and should be made up of crafts men and labor leaders as well as business and professional men. "Nowadays the plumber is a capitalist, the former congressman said. If he knows what's good for him, he'll join the Republican par ty." Dr. Durno urged his listen ers to give their full support to young Republicans, because they are vigorous and forward-looking, and not to leave the party work too much in the hands of the older gener ation. "Don't think always along old lines," he added. The former congressman also mentioned that "political power rests in the hands of young women" and not with the men and indicated that women should be fully awake to their political responsibili ties. Speaks At Citiien Dr. Durno began his talk by saying that he now speaks as a citizen. "I have no ambi tions, I don't have to pull my punches and I am holding no fort for any political party- he said, and added that be cause he is convinced the na tion is in the midst of "dan gerous times," he believes it is Imperative that he share his ideas and opinions gained from two years in the nation's capital. Describing the physical as pects of Washington, D.C., Dr. Durno said the city is about 55 per cent colored in popu lation, with public schools having about 85 per cent col ored pupils. Crime is ram pant, he added, with much of the crime traced to Negroes. He said "you and I are partly responsible for this because the congress controls Wash ington." He said the city serves as a pipeline from the south and that Negroes go to Washington hunting for work, find little and when they are out of money drift into crime. Unions are partially responsi ble in that they permit no apprenticeship programs for the colored and keep them out of craft jobs. "Within another decade, the colored people will be the problem of the north and not of Ihe south," he added. You cannot bring about moral, social or spiritual changes by passing laws," Dr. Durno said. "Such changes come about slowly." He added Unit social changes in Wash ington, D.C., are slowed down even more because of the in fluence of a small group of men in congress. Discusses Committees The former congressman surveyed the numerical make up of congress, pointed out that congressmen "must con stantly run for office" which cuts down the time they can spend on law-making. He dis cussed the committee system at some length, said "laws are really made in the commit tees" and pointed out that Ihe important committee chair manships are assigned on the basis of seniority and not necessarily to the most able Calendar Calendar notices and news for the loclaty section o( The Mail Tribune must he submitted in writing and deadline for tbe Sun day edition la 1 p m.

Because the soutn is a one party region, most of the chairmanships are now in the hands of southern Demo crats, he pointed out. Dr. Durno spoke of Con gressman Adam Clayton Powell, saying that he is an example of a poor chairman who holds an important post through seniority. The speak er also said "there are too many lawyers in the congress" and added that he would line to see more businessmen, teachers, etc., elected to the body. He praised the women in congress, saying they are able and competent law makers. Discussing President Ken nedy, Dr. Durno said that he is the one person in the nation who knows all and that those citizens of opposite opinions and political parties must remember that he is the symbol of the nation. Dr. Dur no said the President's "action belie his words." In addition to listening to the President, Dr. Durno urged his audience to listen to key persons in the agencies and departments through which the President gels his information, thereby widen ing their knowledge of public affairs. Turning to the United Na tions, Dr. Durno said he sup ports the UN because it is a valuable international po litical forum, but added that we should pay our fair share of UN expenses and no more." This brought applause from the audience. He further said the UN charter should be re vised. Speaking of the nation's economic problems, Dr. Dur no declared that "after World War II we helped regenerate other nations, friend and foe alike, we gave money and technical assistance and our practices have resulted in our own economic ills." He be lieves that foreign aid should be reduced about one third and said it has been poorly administered. Dr. Durno praised the Peace corps and declared its activities should be welcomed and increased. "The Peace corps is exporting American ism and not dollars," he de clared. He believes the corps should be highly selective and be operated with exceeding care. He touched briefly on edu cation, saying that federal aid to schools, particularly for construction, can be helpful in taking the load from prop erly holders. The speaker added that some federal tax relief may come, but that it PEO Chapters Elect Officers Aphland- PEO Sisterhood, Chapters AC and BN, chose officers for the ensuing year at their meetings held last week.

The speaker talked about Medicare, saying "I emphatic ally am for adequate medical care for those over 65 years of age, but I am arguing over the means of bringing it about." He mentioned "bun gling bureaucracies," quoted figures to show how much money workers are now pay ing into social security and said that even the former secretary of health, education and welfare, A. A. Ribicoff, had warned the nation about the increasing cost of social security. In closing Dr. Durno said Republicans must elect to of fice men and women who would work towards a nation with a sound fiscal policy. During the question period he said that if the Civilian Conservation corps must be used again as a means of bol stering the economy and of correcting juvenile delinquen cy, it should be done with no tie-up with the Peace corps. He also believes the Peace corps should not become in ternational in character. He also answered questions about how national lobbies operate, saying they are oft en most useful in supplying vital information for law makers. Questioned about the operation of the committee system in the congress, Dr. Durno said while unwieldly and often unsatisfactory, it seems to be the best demo cratic process yet devised. He pointed out that it is obvi ously impossible to read all bills introduced in the two houses. The speaker was introduced by Mrs. Stephen G. Nye, and he was warmly applauded by the audience. Mrs. Gene Wil liams, president, conducted a brief business meeting. Club Member Returns Home Mrs. Clay M.

Tobey, Research Director of the world's largest hardwood floor maker "Did you know that most self-polishing waxes are made primarily of synthetic plastics? They are impossible to remove from wood floors without damaging the wood or the finish. As a result, layer after layer of old telf-polishing wax piles up until your wood floor darkens and discolors. The right way to lake care of wood floors is to use either Bruce Cleaning Wax or Bruce Floor Cleaner. Both contain a remoro6 liquid paste wax and waterless wood floor cleaner. They clean; remove the old wax; and leave a rich, new coat of paste wax protection all at the same time. If you like a heavy coat of wax, use Bruce Cleaning Wax. lor j. w Ci wood Ia " Z ' floors floors Thimble Factory Closes For Lack of By KARL H. MACK Schorndorf, Germany- (UPD - The world's oldest and once one of the largest thimble factories is going out of busi ness after 140 years of pro tecting women's fingers. The firm of Brother Gabler stops production at the end of this month in the "capital of thimble making." Founder of the plant was silversmith Johann Ferdinand Gabler, son of a Schorndorf tailor. Gabler is reported to be the inventor of the thim ble, at least the thimble of modern feature first made in 1807. In 1824 he got a royal Wuertemberg patent for his thimbles and subsequently started mass production. First Machine Equipped with the first self constructed thimble machine, the new establishment was off to a good start. Soon after Gabler's thimbles were known around the world. In 1914, the Schorndorf factory produced several million thimbles of all sizes and from various metals, including silver and gold. "In 1914 there were 130 workers in the factory," a plant spokesman said. "But now there are but 20 left. Most of them are occupied packing up the thimbles. There seems to be no more demand for thimbles." In a few years, he added thoughtfully, "The only trace of thimbles might be found in our plant museum." Thimble Museum Over the years, the Schorn dorf plant collected at least one sample of every thimble made and displayed it in pos sibly the world's only thimble museum. Thimbles and finger protec tors of all kinds, sizes and TOPS to Hold Session Tonight Medford unit of TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) will meet tonight at 7 o'clock at the Public Library of Med ford and Jackson county. Newcomers to the area and visitors are welcome to at tend. This group is made up of women wishing to cooperate in a program of weight re duction. When lighter waxing is desired or floors are badly soiled, you'll want Bruce Floor Cleaner. It's the right way to keep your wood floors clean and bright. Easier, too." Business most material are on display here. Thimbles studded with, jewelry, gold and silver a cen tury ago were the dream of every girl, busily stitching away on her trousseau. Thim bles made of brass and zina were produced mainly for ex port to India or Africa. "Did you ever know women in India and Saxony had the) finest fingers?" the spokes man asked. "Here, our sam ples prove it." The largest size in thimbles ever made were for Bavarian and Dutch women, he added. (7 Iti ino or r.fjir-lle' ef HOI If WOOO mClAl FOtMUU HlaB FREE! BOOKLET. . .
