FRANK ALBERT :
Completes Training
Filled with enthusiasm for
the work of the Peace Corps
and profound respect for the
Thai people, acquired for the
most part during a 12-week
training program at the Uni
versity of Indiana, Frank Al
bert, son of Mr. and Mrs.
M. G. Albert, 304 South
Peach st.,. Medford, leaves
May 30 for Thailand as a
member of the Peace Corps.
Albert, who received his
degree In political science at
the University of Oregon last
June, recently returned to his
Medford home from Bloom
ington, Ind., where he attend
ed the Peace Corps training
course for Thailand assign
ments.' ..... , .
He was in school there
from Feb. 22 to May 17 and
classes were conducted 62
hours a week. Almost half of
the time, (30 hours a week)
was devoted to the study of
the Thai language. The re
mainder of the class time was
spent in presentation of hoallh
practices to be observed in
Thailand, physical education,
study of the customs of the
country and refresher courses
In American history and In
ternational relations.
Has Taktn Shots .
Albert has already taken
all the immunization shots re
quired for International trav
el and he has started . taking
his aralen pills, malaria pre
ventative, and will continue
taking the pills throughout
the time he Is In Thailand.
There is a malaria eradica
tion program going on now,
however, In Thailand, the
Medford Peace Corps member

JUVENILE SADISM -
It was with horror and
revulsion that wc read of the
sadistic torture of ten cats
in Claromont, N.H., by seven
high school boys Whose only
excuse was that they wanted
a thrill.
It is Indeed trBglc, however,
to consider how these seven
boys, and countless other boys
throughout the nation, are
contributing to Juvenile
crime. It is tragic to consider
how their actions relate to the
future of their families and in
deed, to the whole nation.
There is all too much
thoughtless cruelty and ne
glect of animals, but it is, in
the main, neither premeditat
ed nor vicious and can easily
be corrected under proper
guidance.
What has happened? Who
lias failed to shoulder the re
sponsibility for these seven
high school boys? What lack
led to these brutalities?
The conviction deepens that
such crimes can only be laid
at the feet of parents and
teachers in falling to Inoculate
moral values from early child
hood and develop proper attl
tiidca in those young people
who may so easily take the
wrong turn or the road.
Such delinquency occurs In
good and bad neighborhoods,
alike. There is too much toler
ance based on materialistic
thinking, forgetting or not
recognizing the importance of
wholesome attitudes which
make for good character and
citizenship.
If parents will not accept
till responsibility, making use
of the church, then the schoolt
must. Every good educator
knows that children respond
naturally to animals. If this
inherent interest la utilized.
kindness can be substituted
for cruelty. In the following
years, the child will learn and
understand the Interdepend
ence of man and nature.
Humane teaching may not
be the only solution for juve
nile crime but It has been
proven to produce desirable
attitudes toward animals, to
ward classmates, toward
. teachers and toward society
at large.
states wore represented In the
class of 68 preparing for the
Thailand assignment at the
University of Indiana, Albert
said.
There were three Negroes
and one Japanese and all
members of the class but one
had at least a bachelor's de
gree from a university or
college. A number of the can
didates wore people working
for graduate degrees. Albert
placed the average age at 2.5,
the oldest member of the class
was 36, he recalled.
He found that he was the
only member of the class
from Oregon but many states
were represented with Call
fornlans outnumbering resi
dents of other slates.
Interesting Instructor
Kenneth Landon, one of the
foremost authorities on South
east Asia, whose wife wrote
"Anna and the King of Siam,"
was one of the most interest
ing Instructors. His Excel
lency Visutr Arthayukti,
Thailand's ambassador to the
United States, spent several
days with the class and pre
sided at the graduation cere
monies. "He was very helpful," Al
bert said, "as were all the In
structors, who kept the train
ing on a high level.
All the language Instruc
tor!), the Medford appointee
said, were natives of Thai
land. One of the prime con
siderations of the government
In choosing the University of
Indiana as training ground
for the Thailand assignments
is the maintenance there of
the Thailand department
Exchange Program Noted
An exchange program Is
carried on by the university.
Many Thailand students come
to Bloomlnglon to study and
they form the language fac
ulty... There are probably 50
students from Thailand at the
university now, according to
Albert. Some are working for
their doctor of philosophy de
grees. The university sends
several faculty members to
Thailand to study each year.
Many of the Thailand stu
dents are women. The people
of the country are progres
sive In this respect, Albert
believes. Some are women
who have left their husbands
in Thailand while they study
at the university.
"They emphasize the Budd
hist tenant," Albert explain
ed, "of self discipline and
self reliance."
Has Great Respact
"I acquired a great respect
for them during my training.
Their sincerity and hBrd work
In helping us prepare by
learning the language was a
great factor In forming my
opinion," he said.
In describing the people,
Albert said many showed a
Chinese Influence. There arc
3,000,000 Chinese in Thailand,
a country with a 22,000,000
population.
The Thai spoken language
is similar to Lao, which is
spoken In Laos, and vaguely
related to the Chinese. The
script is a derivation of the
sanskrlt, Albert said. The
method of Instruction used at
the university was the same
method used In the armed
forces schools for Instruction
in language.
Albert will fly from Seattle
via Anchorage, Alaska, and
Tokyo with 64 other Peace
Corps members, all of whom
will deplane at Bangkok. He
gave Southeast Asia as pref
erence when he applied to the
Peace Corps so Is happy that
he was assigned to Thailand.

F DIKU'IINVJ'
By JOSEPH HICKS
Judging from the telephone calls received during April
and May, many wild life observers noticed the presence
of large flocks of American goldfinch and pine aiskin in
the valley.
Other oddities during thia period Included the sighting
of a gray jay on April 17 near Talent by Mrs. L. Tompkins,
and the landing of a snowy egret on a small pond near Ash
land on May 6, as reported by J. Reynolds,
On May 2, 3, and 4, about 9.000 cliff swallows and 12
purple martins rested near the game commission area before
proceeding on their migration.
.''
Perhaps it was the storms in the mountains that caused
the gray jay and the purple martins to descend to the val
ley as this is the first report of their ever leaving the high
country for our valley. As to why the much larger than
usual flocks of pine siskin and goldfinch, I have no logical
answer. Each spring, however, there seems to be one or
two species that are unusually abundant during migration.
The number of migrant species that arrive the last week
in April and the first week in May Is surprising.
This year the following migrants were tallied during this
period: MacGllllvray's warbler, Wilson warbler, black-throated
gray warbler, Nashville warbler, yellow throat, Town
send's warbler, ycllow-breated chat, hermit warbler, yellow
warbler, rock wren, black-headed grosbeak, Bullock' oriole,
western tanager, Trail's flycatcher, western flycatcher, west
ern wood pewee, western kingbird, ashthroated flycatcher,
Vaux swift, lazuli bunting, and calliope hummingbird. Most
of the warblers passed through Medford, this year 60 Vaux
swifts were seen over East Main st. on May 8.
.
Although part of this period was wet and stormy, nesting
seemed to progress as usual. Titmice on Rogue River drive
and in Medford hatched out their young on May 13. The
Bullock's orioles began building their nests near the Rogue
River on May 15. On May 17, I found two blue gray gnat
catchers that had just completed building their nest. Their
nest is very similar to a hummingbird's nest, only a little
larger and covered with lichen.
E. Lasher reported on May 20 that Western tanagers
were building a nest near his home in Medford. C. Richard
son put out a dozen bluebird nesting boxes near Ashland,
but there were no takers. I have four bluebird boxes on
the Rogue with no bluebird utilization, that are being used
by tree swallows. There are, however, two pairs of western
bluebirds that nest In the oaks along Agate Road.
May 6 was a particularly good blrdlng day at Hoover
lake. There wore four dunlins, Bonaparte gull, six ring-billed
gull, 60 white-fronted geese, and an unusual large flock
of 45 long-billed dowitchcrs. Again on May 20 1 found an
avoccl, a black tern, four dunlin, a yellow-headed blackbird
and two Wilson's phalarpoe at Hoover. Both of these counts
were made early in the morning; at other times I have
found the lake area almost deserted except for nesting cin
namon and blue-wing teal.
Mrs. L. Tompkins and Mrs. G. Hartley on May 6 visited
the south side of the Lower Klamath lake wildlife refuge.
They reported seeing large numbers of long billed curlew,
willct, avocel, greater yeuowiegs, aim wimcuumcu gecac.
On the opening day of fishing season at Howard rrBine,
H. Cannasto saw some sandhill cranes feeding near the west
side of the lake. The cranes were the "little brown crane,"
a subspecie of the sandhill crane.
Each spring someone generally reports seeing a rare or
unusual visiting migrant to this area. On May 15 Dr. and
Mrs. F. Sturges saw two male and one female or juvenile
hooded orioles near their home In Ashland. F. Sturges, who
is a distinguished ornithologist and biologist, points out that
this is a sight record only.
He states that hooded orioles normally occur only In the
southwestern part of the United States, therefore, additional
sightings or specimens are necessary to establish positive
identification. Personally, knowing of the ability of Sturge,
the distinctive marking of the hooded oriole, the mobility
of birds, and the sighting with binoculars at a distance of
only 60 feet, my vote la to credit Jackson county with a
very rare visitor, the hooded oriole,
i
May 30 is bird count day lor the McCamant Bird So
city. It will be interesting to compare the resulting count

parison will give some idea just what .effect the change
in weather has on tne pira population.
Defects Said Cause
Of Many Problems
In Children s Lives
By DAVID NYDICK
UPI Education Specialist
Hearing and vision difficul
ties in children may go un
detected for many years. De
fects in these areas are the
cause of many other problems
in children's academic, emo
tional, and social develop
ment. What symptoms might lead
you to suspect the possibility
of a hearing or visual defi
ciency? A child who Is having
trouble with school work
should receive a thorough ex
amination. Many schools have
regular screening programs
designed to reveal hearing or
visual handicaps. Screening
methods are not meant to be
thorough examinations.
School equipment usually is
not capable of uncovering all
kinds of defects. The answer
is to obtain a complete check
up by a specialist who is
equipped and trained to diag
nose and treat all types of
hearing or visual problems,
i Specific Symptoms
Naturally there are some
specific symptoms of which
you should be aware. Chil
dren with visual detects often
riM.dnn unusual reading
habits such as holding written
material particularly close or
ar from their eyes Bnd per
haps tilting their heads. Other
Indications might be head
aches from movies, Inability
to Judge distances or catch a
hull various tvoos of eve irri
tations, and squinting. Al
though many of these symp
toms may be a result of faulty
i csight. they also may be due
to a variety of other causes.
If there is any doubt, you
should seek professional ad
vice. Hearing losses often arc dif
ficult to recognize. Their ef
fects may be only noted In
specific types of listening sit
uations. Be suspicious when t
j child needs constant repetl
' linn of spoken words, Is more
aware of movements than
sounds, ahows a strain when
listening, turns one ear to
wards the sound. Is inatten
tive to speech, has poor pro-
nounclation, has speech pror
lems. has a peculiar quality to
his voice, watches the speak
er very carefully, and speaks
too loudly or softly.
Problems In either of these
areas will limit academic pro
gress. They will lead to emo
tional and social difficulties.
Early detection Is very impor
tant. Guidance and correction
when i child is young can
avoid the development of
many of these connected prob
lems. Parents sometimes hesitate
to face the existence of these
problems. Don't jump to con
clusions but be realistic and
recognize the truth. If you
have any reason to be sus
picious, do not delay In obtain
ing a full evaluation.
In some cases the treatment
presents hardships. It may be
expensive and could mean
traveling to a clinic or special
school. Parents who resist
treatment are not being fair
to their child. A great deal of
help and guidance is avail
able. Your doctor or school
can put you in contact with
the proper agencies.
Periodic check-ups are ad
visable. These are part of a
good health program. Teach
your child to protect and care
for hia eyes and ears. It is
easier and better to prevent a
problem than to cure it.
