its regular meeting June 13,
heard reports from the delegates
to the Rebekah Assembly of
Oregon and welcomed a new
distnct deputy president ap
pointed at that meet
The Rebekah Assembly was
held at the Sheraton Hotel in
Portland the last week in May,
and the Vernonia lodge was rep
resented by Edna Linn and Irm a
Chance who brought back very
interesting and complete re
ports
Among points of special in
terest was one concerning r-
modeling and repair of the Odd
Fellows Home in Portland to
bring it up to standards required
by state law for such places To
accomplish this every Odd F el
low and Rebekah in Oregon will
be assessed one dollar for the
coming fiscal year.
Some other points of interest
were that young women can now
be taken in as Rebekah m em
bers at age 16; any Rebekah in
good standing can now attend
the Rebekah Assembly, without
becoming a past noble grand,
and lodges may hold special
meetings for the purpose of
hearing secret work by the dis
trict deputy president

Child Care Sharing
Urged Ry Economist
SALEM SCENE
School is out and it's a safe bet
few children will be giving much
thought to classrooms in the
immediate weeks ahead.
But boards, administrators
and educators — especially on
the high school level — will be
s p e n d in g considerable time im
plementing new secondary edu
cation graduation requirements
involving the Class of 1978.
This fa ll’s ninth graders make
up the vast bulk of the 33,000 or
so who will graduate in the
spring of '78. And in the next four
years those youngsters will re
ceive what educators have dub
bed "survival-level education."
Lest anyone believes survival
education indicates a reduction
in educational requirements or
opportunities, the Oregon De
partment of Education is quick
to point out new graduation
requirements o f f e r
greater
learning opportunities and ex
panded course requirements.
In the developmental stage
since 1969, the new requirements
replace standards that have
been in effect since 1932 and
which were largely college prep
aratory in nature Adopted by
the State Board of Education in
September 1972, new minimum
graduation requirements in ef
fect add a third leg to the high
school education stool. In addit
ion to earning credits and at
tending classes, graduates by
1978 are to achieve specific
competencies.
Oregon educators have adopt
ed survival as the mo6t import
ant of all human needs and
believe it must be satisfied
before others — such as security,
love and belonging, self-esteem,
etc. — can be achieved.

Mothers who feel a need to > get
i
away from small children but
can’t afford a babysitter—or
don’t feel justified in having one
just to have some time for them
selves—should explore the pos
sibility of an exchange with , a
friend, suggests Carol A. Ashley,
Columbia
County Extension
home economist.
Sharing child care on a mere
or less regular basis gives each
mother a feeling of freedom.
Mothers can gain from friend
ships developed and an oppor
tunity to share child concerns
with another person.
Children benefit from such an
arrangement too, notes Mrs.
Ashley. They learn to be away
from mother and how to get
along within a different fam ily.
It also provides an opportunity to
play with another child and
develop friendships.
We finally had our potluck at
Anderson Park. Approximately
90 persons were present
We would like to thank M r.
