Child Welfare
Director Speaks
Marycarol Jones Addresses Soroptimists at
Luncheon on Thursday
A group of Interested Soroptimlsts listened Thursday to
Marycarol Jones, director of child welfare, talk on the program
adopted by the state of Oregon, "For Our Children in War
time." "The children's charter In wartime calls upon all citizens
as a wartime responsibility to guard children from injury; to
protect children from neglect, exploitation, and undue strain
in defense areas; to strengthen the homelife of children whose
parents are in war industries, and to free children to take their
part in democracy," said Miss Jones.
Miss Jones was appointed as chairman of child welfare un
der civilian war service plan in the county of Clackamas this
spring, and acted in that
capacity during the ' planning
and organization of the work
there. She outlined for the
club the work being done in
Clackamas county, with which
she has been so closely associ
ated, stating that,' of course,
the same needs do not exist in
every state or In all communi
ties of the same state, and each
individual community must
study its own problems. There
are, however, certain prob
lems so closely related that
nationwide measures are re
quired. She further stated
that in every state the pro
gram should include measures
which will insure:
Health service and medical
and dental care for mothers
and for children, with special
provision as needed for wives
and children of service men
and war workers.
Adequate nourishing food
for-all - children - during this
period of rising costs and ra
tioning. , .
Protection of children in
danger zones.
Day care for children of
mothers whose employment is
essential to the war program.
Miss Jones emphasized the
difficulty involved in fact-find--
ing studies and said that in an
attempted : survey last fall,
fifteen hundred cards were
sent out and only one hundred
,and twenty replies received,
and also said that from inquir
ies sent to England in regard
to their experience, they re
ceived the suggestion that un
less there were unusual cir
cumstances, it was found not
advantageous for a mother of
more than one or two children
to be employed if her children
must be cared for in a day
care center, since the work of
the mother will not compen
sate for the personnel required
to look after her children.
' Quoting from a Chidren's
Bureau bulletin, Miss Jones
said, "Day care is a serious
venture inchiid welfare serv
ices and should not be under
taken by one or two single
groups, but should be related
to a coordinated community
plan." Miss Jones said that
day nurseries have a great
deal to offer many children ,
and that - Mayor LaGuardia's
recent statement that "the
worst mother is better than
. the best nursery," is untrue..
In conclusion, Miss Jones out
lined the scope of the Lanham
act in providing funds for the
many phases of nursery school
work and advised state depart-'
ment of education was the
only agency- that could- give
final approval' for distribution
of Lanham act funds.
Mrs. Catherine Brumbaugh,
first vice president, was in
charge of the meeting and Mrs.
Ruth. Ray acted as program
chairman.
Announcement was made of
the recent marriage of one of
the club members, Mrs. Ruth
Turner to Mr. J. Frank
Adams.

brings up morn weed seeds

when they have beon appar

Garden projects aro going

have niado provision for
gardeners to have land to

Even with all we have to

not entirely neglect arrange
