that he has so wholeheartedly
and unselfishly given on behalf
of Georgia’s veterans.”
Melton served as the first
Chairman of the Veterans
Service Board when the
Department of Veterans Ser
vice was made a Constitutional
unit of State Government in
1945. The current annual report
also marks the 25th anniversary
of the Veterans Service Board.
A veteran of World War I,
Melton fought with the famed
82nd Division in France. After
the Battle of the Argonne, he
was promoted to the rank of
major and awarded the Silver
Star medal for gallantry in
action. Active with a number of
veterans’ organizations, he has
held many state and national
offices, and is a life-member of
The American Legion and the
Veterans of Foreign Wars.
His extensive career as a
newspaperman carried him to
many cities before he settled in
Griffin in 1925. Since that time
he has published the Griffin
Daily News, and his column
“Good Evening” still appears
on the front page just as it has
for all of these 46 years.

Damage
suits
filed
David Nelson Pryor of 725
West Poplar street has filed a
$150,000 damage suit in Spald
ing Superior Court as a result of
injuries he suffered in a traffic
accident on Sept. 14, 1969.
The suit was filed against the
Commercial Bank and Trust
Co. as executor of the last will
and testament of Mrs. Annie
Mary Griffin of Sunny Side, who
was driving a car which collided
with the car in which Pryor was
a passenger.
Mrs. Griffin and a passenger

of Pomona, both retired Griffin
school teachers, were killed.
Four persons were injured. The
accident happened in front of

The suit states that Pryor was
riding as a passenger in an auto
driven by Bobby Raymond God
dard when the decedent drove
from the driveway of the nurs
ing home into the path of the
auto in which the plaintiff was
riding.
It alleges that due to the
negligence of the decedent, the
plaintiff suffered a broken neck
and spinal injuries and is now a
permanent quadriplegic and the
condition will continue through
out the remainder of the
plaintiff’s life.
Pryor is represented by attor
neys Tom E. Lewis and Harvey

Earlier Mrs. Coleman filed
suit for $75,000.

U.S. Hunts Ways to
Curb Delinquency
WASHINGTON (NEA)
A memorandum now circulating within the Nixon
administration says the government has got to find out
“why and under what conditions young people lead . . .
law-abiding lives.”
Then mold a national youth campaign on the answer.
And do it quickly.
The writers say bluntly the government’s contacts with
youth are not what they should be and suggests that one
way to begin finding the answers the administration needs
on delinquency and crime would be to provide youth
groups with an established channel of access to govern
ment decision-making.
The authors suggest that most young people keep on
the right side of the law because they have ready access
to "socially acceptable, responsible and personally grati
fying” social roles which give them a degree of “legiti
mate social protection from the consequences of their
occasional illegal behavior.”
Thus they avoid being labeled troublemakers by the
schools, police and courts.
Because they aren’t labeled, they are less likely to be
trapped in a delinquency pattern and thus alienated from
the normal adult world.
The writers say studies must be made to identify those
governmental procedures and institutions which turn in
creasing numbers of youngsters against the Establish
ment, and an action program designed to change those
institutions and those practices.
The memorandum warns that time is short, that in
creasingly juvenile delinquency and even more types of
crime are becoming “politicized.”
The trend is to massive collective infractions of the law.
Juvenile delinquency is becoming less a problem to be
dealt with between a youngster accused of committing a
crime and a social worker, a police officer, a teacher, a
judge or an employer.
Rather, it is increasingly a mass confrontation between
large groups of juveniles and authority.
More and more, therefore, the juvenile justice system
is likely to be confronted with individuals and groups
whose illegal acts receive widespread ideological support
as more forms of serious illegal activity become politi
cized.
Drug abuse, campus riots and violent street gang ac
tivity are justified by reference to racial injustice. So are
prison rebellions.
This poses radically new problems in control and pre
vention.
