Rowell Writes Editorial About Juvenile Delinquency M|Sgt. J. Rowell, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Rowell of Hor tense, had an editorial published in “Jet Stream,” U. S. Airforce publication, on the subject of “Juvenile Delinquency.” The editorial was as follows: JUVENILE DELINQUENCY By Mi Sgt. J. Rowell, First Sgt. Dispensary We tend to be confused by the continuing rise in the juvenile crime rate. Our cities have dif ferent drastic remedies for pre venting juvenile delinquency. The one thing they have in com mon is recognizing the increase in youthful crimes as being a major problem. No city has found a perfect answer, however, admitting the seriousness of the problem and trying to find an answer is a step in the right di rection. Some of our cities have new laws that forbid anyone under twenty-one to possess a knift in any public place. There are cer tain exceptions to the law that would enable a smooth talker to “go free,” while a shy boy from the wrong side of the tracks would go to jail for thirty days. Does this possibility seem fair? Boys shouldn’t be deprived of the use of a knife for the many non-violent uses. What would happen to the ancient and honor able art of whittling? Nowadays boys also use knives in the con struction of models, to do a sim ple chore of sharpening a pencil and numerous other little jobs.

NUMBER 32 ACL Exhibit Featured At Blackshear Day A featured exhibit during the Blackshear Day activities was the five pieces of railroad equip ment furnished by Atlantic Coast Line. Included were a new diesel en gine, a modern Pullman coach, a day coach, a chip hopper car and a DF boxcar. The railroad’s display was on the sidetrack in downtown Black shear from 10:00 A. M. to 5:00 P. M. and numerous visitors took advantage of the invitation to “come aboard.” The Chip hopper car was one of the type designed by ACL and manufactured in Waycross. The DF boxcar is the new type 50- foot freight car designed with special racks for loading to re duce freight damage. The modern diesel engine, which attracted wide attention from the younger boys, is now in service with ACL. The Pullman coach was one of the newer types with all the latest innovations in a six bedroom lounge type car. Subcommittee held hearings in San Francisco on “juvenile de linquency” the Attorney Gen eral of California urged that the Congress should decide to instruct immigration authorities not to al low anyone under twenty-one to leave the United States, unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. These instructions would be to prevent teenagers going into Mexico “for a night of revelry and debauchery.” The same instructions would also pre vent anyone under twenty-one going into a foreign country for other reasons. There are thou sands of young people living within a few miles of our Cana dian and Mexican borders. Should they be deprived of visit ing our friendly neighbors? The .solution to the rebellious youth situation is to bring them back into Civilized Society. This would mean continuous effort, but the results would be worth while. The first need is to pro vide a good home, with parents setting good examples. The farm ly should worship regularly in the Church of their choice. The Youth of the Country needs more or ganized clubs with proper super vision. There should be enough organized sports activities to pro vide every boy a place to “let off steam.” Therefore we should take a realistic approach to the problem of Juvenile Delinquency instead of the drastic and often almost hysterical steps to control this problem. __ Brantley Enterprise Brantley Enterprise P.
