PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -More and more teen-agers who get pregnant are keeping their children and Julie Gomoll, who had a son four years ago at the age of 16 and made the same decision, wanted to ease their burden.

As a result, Ms. Gomoll started leading group sessions for teen-age mothers three years ago through the Southeast Portland Youth Service Center. Although the groups were successful, Ms. Gomoll said she had run across a number of new mothers who were reluctant for a variety of reasons to participate in a group. For those new parents, she has written a book, "Insights," directed to the teen-age parent and designed, she says, to take the group's conclusions and discussions to the individual mother.

Printed on brightly colored construction paper and arranged in a calendar format, the book offers teen-age mothers survival skills, consumer advice, hints for children and hints for parents on "how to get it together." The book is designed to be tacked on a wall and used regularly for reference, the author said. The book gives tips on handling finances, as well as how to get the best health care, how to be a good tenant and neighbor, where to find resource material, how to have a telephone installed, advice on discipline, child care and playthings, hints on food and creative housework, and making the home a safe playground for youngsters. There are also essays on mothering and on males over- wholeness supper on Oct. 27 for the New World Singers who will be performing at the church at 7:30 p.m. The November meeting will be held at Mrs.

Ms. Gomoll has founded the Portland Alliance Concerned With School-Aged Parents, which she describes as a nonprofit, support collective.

It was through the organization and with some financial help from the youth service center that the book was published. "People read the book and say it could be for anyone, not just teen-age mothers," Ms. Gomoll said. "Yes, it could be, but it's especially for teenagers because for someone who's 16, it's hard to know where to go to find everything there is to know about child care in one day." coming a fear of children, along with suggestions for snacks and some of Ms. Go-moll's favorite poems.

"I decided to put everything in the whole wide world, for people who weren't into groups," Ms. Gomoll said. The book's origin was in a briefcase Ms. Gomoll kept filled with single sheets of paper on which she had copied "things I really liked." She also relied on her personal experiences as well as those of other teen-age mothers in her groups to determine the book's content. "We didn't see it as a factor of determining why women were keeping their babies more now," Ms.

Gomoll said. "We said, 'They've got their children now, so let's deal with The book 500 copies were printed is the result of 800 unpaid volunteer hours and cost less than $1,000. Ms. Gomoll said.

UMW program focuses on Mrs. Stansberry gives YHV chapter program Another person who worked on the book with Ms. Gomoll, Susan Myers, says some young mothers may be aware of the resources that are available to them, but the word doesn't get out. "They're not people who have worked the welfare system for 27 years," she said. "It's more difficult for them to become self-advocates." Ms.

Gomoll, who is unemployed but looking for a counseling job, did not complete high school but has a social-service aide certificate from Portland Community College which qualifies her as a para-professional. rangement" was presented by Mrs. Dorothy Stansberry, Augusta County extension agent, home economics.

The United Methodist Women of Annex United Methodist Church met recently in the church with program leader, Mrs. Larry Wills, using as her topic, "Broadening Our Vision of Wholeness." Most people come to any Bible study with some previous experience or ideas on the subject.

It is always wise to get those ideas out to clarify one's thinking. This helps one identify new ideas which may occur in the experience of Bible study. Mrs. Wills asked what the word wholeness brought to mind. It is interesting to discover, she said, that wholeness was not a subject category for hymn, scripture or litanies.

Rather, there were topics like healing, conversion, brokenness, division and inclusiveness. The emphasis was not so much on the end result, wholeness, but on those things which either stand in the way dividedness, injury, brokenness, ignorance or those things which bring about healing, conversion, reconciliation, inclusiveness wholeness. It would be easy to set a goal for wholeness and be overcome with helplessness when one looks at oneself and the world. Jesus spoke of forgiveness, healing, and hope.

Wesley spoke of moving towards perfection. In this, the hope of wholeness, all must seek. The importance seems to be in keeping the definition clear and the goal as a motivation for Christian living. So get rid of the old self, which made one live as one used to the old self which was being destroyed by its deceitful desires. Hearts and minds must be made competely new.

Put on the new self, which is created in God's likeness and reveals itself in the true life that is upright and holy (Ephesians4 22-24). Other Bible scripture she used included Isaiah 58 for national and community wholeness, individual wholeness as taken from Mark 10-17, 31. Guidelines for wholeness were discussed in Ephesians 4. Global wholeness was found in Revelation 21 1-227. If individual Christians are willing to commit themselves to wholeness, one can have hope for the healing of nations and wholeness in the world.

Mrs. Shirley Lefon conducted the business meeting. It was decided to give $100 to the trustees for evergreens around the church. Mrs. Gay Bennett will come to visit the group in October to show slides.
