MONDAY, Regional Roundup By Clave Twitched Regional Editor Following last week's revela tion that, according to a shop ping survey, about one of every five Ashland families does most of their shopping in Mcdford, there will undoubtably be a few cries from Ashlanders to the effect that something should be done to make more residents shop "at home." We don't agree. The shopping survey, conduct ed during the summer under the direction of Dr. Loy Prickett of Southern Oregon college, can be of real value to the Ashland business district. It can give businessmen there a realistic view of customer habits and perhaps help some individual stores make improvements. But we hope the businessmen don't react from the survey's findings with an attitude of "we've got to do something to stop people from going to Med ford to shop." We hope they re member that it is no farther from Medford to Ashland than it is from Ashland to Medford, and that if Ashland residents are lured to Medford to shop, there's no reason why Medford residents can't be lured to Ash land. We go along with the views of one Ashland merchant who feels that it is a natural part of human nature to want to climb in a car and go a few miles to shop. No one is ever going to change that. Why not use it to one's advantage? On-The-Spol Training Ted J. Holdt, state director of rehabilitation and employ ment for ex-offenders, who has been a frequent visitor to the Rogue valley this year, con fessed the other day that he has spent some lime in the state penitentiary. He lived there for two weeks In order to be better prepared for his job in setting up coun cils throughout the state to help ex-offenders get jobs. "When new inmates get in there," he noted, "the old-timers get ahold of them and tell ' them they'll never get a job when they get out." As a result, when the prisoners get out, they do so in a state of shock and have a problem in overcoming the fear that they won't be ac cepted. Holdt said about 100 ex offenders have been placed in jobs since he began his pro gram a year-and-a-half ago, some of them in the Rogue val ley. Only three have failed to make the grade. Award-IVInner Letha Cooke, O'Brien corres pondent, wins our award for the deadpan news Item of the month: "O'BRIEN Jim Cooke found two rare flowers. One was an orchid with an Improvement (according to Jim). It had a little rubber bulb like a bicycle horn and two dainty beeps came from the orchid's throat when it was pressed. He woke up before he could bring this rare jewel to Al Hobart for identification. The other rare flower was not described as the listener had already heard ' enough and lakes such things as natural flora seriously."

Mack principal of Gold Hill schools. District 6 consists of schools in Gold Hill, Sams Valley and Central Point. Mack said Ronald Petrie, curriculum director, will repre sent the district 6 superintend ent s office. Besides Petrie others to attend are Bill Brew ster, principal of Jcwett Ele mentary school, and teachers Mrs. Zelma Foote, Mrs. Betty Van Derhellen and Mrs. Susan Ambrose. They will act as con sultants because of their expe rience of using the conference method of reporting during the 1902-03 school year in the Jew ett school at Central Point. Others To Attend Others to attend the work shop on Thursday include the principal and fourth grade teachers from the Central Point Elementary school and prin cipals and entire staffs of teachers from Sams Valley and Patrick Elementary schools. Mack said the purpose of the inservice program is to better acquaint teachers with the best parent-teacher conference tech niques. Such conferences he said have as a major goal, a better understanding of each in dividual child through a two way exchange of information. As set up now by the teach ers, principals and superintend ents of district 6, confernce re porting will be used in grades one through four in all schools of district 6 during the 1st and 3rd nine weeks reporting per iods Mack said. The report card system is to be used the 2nd and 4th nine weeks, he said. Conference Tells More Mack said the report card system of reporting with its random sprinkling of numbers and symbols at best can't pos sibly tell parents all they want to know about their child, while on the other hand, a 20 minute conference between teacher and individual parents allows an ex change of some 2,000 to 4,000 words. So by this method, both par ents and teachers will learn more about the various facets of each individual child. He ex plained that through the con ference method of reporting parents and teachers will share information together to obtain Miss Lichtenslein Out of Hospital GOLD HILL - Friends in southern Oregon of Miss Mar velle Lichtenslein will be inter ested to know that she has re turned from Stanford University hospital in California.

They take planning, time, and much energy. However, ex-1 periencea conierencers, mbck said, agree that time spent con ferring is really time saved, be cause it helps eliminate many problems in the classrooms. Progress Checked Parents and teachers are both concerned about the progress that children are making. Neither wants the child to lag ; and loaf in his schooling or j wants him pushed so fast that concepts and understanding are vague and confused. Mack stated that teachers and parents are both aware that learning goes on both in the home and at school and that a child progresses best when there is no great conflict be tween the standards of these two learning arci'S. Educational research h a s ', shown that the parent-teacher reporting lends much to the rapport between school and home by bringing out informa tion to both teachers and par- ents concerning the behavior j patterns of the children con cerned. The real beneficiaries, i of course, are the children in the school, he said. Leal Honored On Retirement YREKA A retirement din ner in honor of Anthony T.
