8 A THURSDAY. APRIL II, 19S3 MEDFOBD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Tweedy Discusses Juvenile Detention Home for Chamber Ashland - "American home life is breaking down because of our fast way of life,'' ac cording to Lawrence L. Tweedy, director of the Jark son county juvenile court and detention home, in a talk here Tuesday. Speaking before the Ash land Chamber of Commerce, Tweedy offered the opinion that juvenile problems are on the increase because of a breakdown of family relation ships. "In families where both husband and wife work, the children come home to a cold house," he said. "Then the parents often go out at night and leave the children home alone." In the juvenile department, Tweedy said, "we try to work with the juveniles a lictle in hopes that maybe they won't get into trouble again. Our work is sort of like that of a fisherman. We fish for in formation." When a child is referred to the juvenile court, exten sive research is done into his background, including his medical records. "We try to find out the basic facts of the case," he explained. Children become wards of the juvenile court for five reasons, he said, if they (1) have committed a violation of a law, (2) are beyond the control of their parents or guardian, (3) have behavior which endangers their own welfare, (4) are abandoned by their parents or guardian, or (5) are runaways. An average of between four and five juveniles a day have been referred to the court since the detention home opened in December, 1957. A majority of the cases are handled without the child being placed in the detention home, however. Since its opening, 1,700 juveniles have been through the home, an average of about one per day. The average length of stay is 10 days. Offtr.d Hot Mill Upon entering the deten tion home, the juvenile is first given a bath, then is offered a hot meal, Tweedy said. During the first 24 hours he is confined to his room in order to get a chance to "think things over" and be interviewed by the staff. After the first 24 hours he is permitted into the home's day room along with other residents of the home "We keep them busy," the director noted. "We have large crafts program. We also have a garden in which they raise food for the home. The Jackson county dctcn lion home is the only one in the state with a garden tend rri bv the voune Dermic Tweidy said. The juveniles also do all the maintenance work, except plumbing, at the home. Parents andor ruardians arc allowed to visit home residents twice a week under "controlled conditions, which give us a chance in see how the kids get along with their parents. ' Tweedy paid tribute to Mr. and Mrs. Robert M. Swan, who are superintendent and matron, respectively, at the detention home. Other homes in the slate have more personnel and more funds with which to do the job than the Jackson county home, he noted. Importance of Reading Reviewed for Kiwanians Importance of reading in this age in helping a person become better as a citizen and better in business was told to members of the Med ford Kiwanls club yesterday hy Omar Bacon, librarian of the Public Library of Med- ford and Jackson County. Mentioning t h many changes and development! which have taken place tn the World, Bacon remarked that "a person has to keep up or he s lost these days." given the background mate rial to help a person keep up. Bacon brought out that the library gives a depth of ma terial and diverse informa tion.
