Recently three children from an

lor Children, a local United Fund
agency, because their mother who
was a drug addict, deserted the
family. The father of Helen, Mary
and Rose, aged 8. 6 and 4 respec
tively, had a long record of ar
rests for armed robbcrv. assauit
and prostitution was arrested and
is now in the state penitentiary
awaiting parole. State Welfare of

the three children because they
are not Oregon residents. Catho

the children, they will be returned
to her, if not, an attempt will be
made by the agency to gain per- .
manent custody of the children so
that they may be placed in adop-

The children themselves are so
disturbed that long treatment s
indicated and only a long period
of security in a foster home will
help them overcome the fear and
trauma which is theirs because
of neglect. During 1960 Catholic
Services for Children cared for 11
children from Klamath County.

Today
we painted
some music
It may seem unusual that these young
sters are painting "by ear". . . turning
music from the classroom radio into
colorful pictures. But this is the kind
of creativeness the Standard School
Broadcast inspires.
Currently, the program's theme is
"Music Passport to the World."
Using our listening guide, teachers
relate music to geography, history,
"art, folklore, literature.
This helps children gain insight into
the life and culture of the peoples
of the world. It leads to better and
quicker understanding of both the
music and the other studies.
By playing and dramatizing all tvpes
of music from symphony to jazz,
Thailand dances to Broadway hits,
the program adds a new, delightful
dimension to learning.
We started this program 33 years
go, never dreaming our listening
family would grow to include 2'i
million children in classrooms. Now
countless adults, too, have discovered
how entertaining and informative
the broadcasts are at home.
If you'd like to know why the pro
gram has such wide appeal, try tuning
in on Thursdays. We think you will
enjoy it, too,
