T h e Fraternal Order of Eagles has presented to the current
session o f the legislature at Salem an excellent child welfare
program. The principal points of the program are:
1. The state of Oregon should establish a Boys Town where
delinquent children may be sent rather than to a reformatory,
the only present type of Institution for Oregon’s delinquent chil
dren. These homes would be operated on the same standard as
at Father Flanagan's Boys Town in Nebraska. The state should
take over Camps Adair. White and Abbott after the war and use
the buildings and other facilities in these camps for the estab
lishment of a Boys Town and a Girls Town.
2. Juvenile courts o f a circuit court standing should be estab
lished in each of the four congressional districts for the express
purpose of handling Juvenile dellnquecy cases.
3. Each county should have parent clinics in order to correct
parental delinquency situations on a family basis where these
situations affect the lives of children.
4. Boarding schools should be established for children whose
parents, by reason o f their circumstances, cannot support and
raise their children.
5. The state should furnish to each county a recreational and
child development director who would plan organized activity
for children after school hours.
Coos county’s Judge Felsheim was discussing this same situa
tion with newspapermen. Judge Felsheim probably has devoted
more time to juvenile delinquency problems than any other
Item of court business since he took office two years ago. He Is
fully acquainted with all the factors behind Juvenile delinquency
what is being done by the state to correct the situation, and
what could be done if an Intelligent program were put Into effect.
Judge Felsheim wasn’t in office long before he discovered that
the common procedure throughout Oregon Is to send any delin
quent boy—no matter his background or the seriousness of his
offense—to the state training school at Woodburn. In conse
quence, the training school is so overcrowded at all times that
a boy, regardless of his case, Is at the school an average of no
longer than three months. I f he Is a bad boy, this Isn’t suffic
ient time to correct him. And if he Is a lad who has erred thr
ough lack o f discipline, and is not inherently a criminal, the
stay at Woodburn does no more than brand him as once having
been an inmate of a reform school.
Judge Felsheim decided there must be some other procedure
than sending boys to Woodburn. After a lot o f study he hit upon
an arrangement that has been satisfactory beyond his greatest
hopes.
He has been putting boys in farm homes where they contin
ue to attend school, have clean beds and plenty of food, and do
a good share of the farm work. One Coos county farmer has
had at least 10 o f these boys, and without exception they have
been completely rehabilitated to the point where they are now
ready to contribute to the successful operation of the homes
which they left as "delinquents” .
Judge Felsheim's handling o f these cases has proved beyond
argument that the program the Eagles propose is workable.
The money that the state will necessarily spend soon for add
itional buildings at the prison and reformatories should go into
establishment of a Boys Town and a Girls Town.
Furthermore, the whole Juvenile delinquency situation should
be handled as the Eagles suggest, by a well-organized program
rather than by the present means of sending a delinqent to a
school without full consideration o f his individual case, the cause
of that case and a possible remedy at home for It.
The Eagles’ program Is Immediately recognized as sound and
worthwhile-----COOS B A Y TIM ES.

Americans are natural inventors. But besides
inventing things, they also invent jobs. Here are
three of the many unusual services that ingenious
Americans have actually invented in recent years.
Some may be war casualties now. But they’ll
be back. And the natural reaction from wartime
regimentation will encourage a lot of other
individual enterprises. All that give good service
and meet a real need will endure and grow.
The business of supplying electric service hegan
modestly, too. There were scoffers and
skeptics a-plenty. But other men with courage
and imagination risked their money and
went ahead. Today, under sound business
management, America enjoys the best and the
most electric service in the world.
This basic freedom of opportunity—this chance to
take a chance — helps make America — America.
