Influenza vaccinations for per¬

recommended today by Dr. chief Johns of

the State Health Department
Dr. Jamney described high risk
groups as persons of all ages suf¬
fering from chronic diseases, es¬
pecially those with chronic respir¬
atory diseases, pregnant women,
persons living in crowded houses
or institutions and those over 45.
He stated that those who have
not been immunized since July
1935, when the last major change
in the composition of the vaccine
was made, should receive two in¬
oculations, a p p r oximately
two months apart, with the second
no later than mid-December.

Also, on Jim’s recommendation
we stopped at the upper end of

UNITED STATES
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Federal Bureau of
Washington, D. C.
TO ALL LAW ENFORCE¬
MENT OFFICIALS:
YOUNG THUGS and
criminals may be pressing
luck by increasing their
escapades while blaming
for their faults.
It appears that the public
beginning to gag on the
sociological diet of excusing
conduct of teenage hoodlums
cause “society has failed them.
Resort communities racked
senseless riots and citizens
cannot venture from their
without being assaulted and beat¬
en are getting fed up with pam¬
pered and insolent youth gangs.
Some courts in the troubled
areas are taking a more realistic
approach in handling those in¬
volved in these outbreaks. New
laws providing stiffer penalties
are being enacted in a few places.
We can only hope that authorities
everywhere will follow this trend.
Certainly, the mere desire of
young miscreants to have a “blast »»
or to “let off steam” is no ex¬
cuse to ravage a community and
maim and terrorize its residents.
That holiday riots and similar
antics by carousing youths have
evoked widespread concern is not
surprising. It is surprising, how¬
ever, that strong public reaction
did not come sooner. For several
years increasing volume of crimi¬
nal acts by young people—spurred
on by the lenient treatment re¬
ceived — has presented a clear
barometric reading of what we are
now witnessing. For instance, from
1960 through 1964, the percent¬
age of young age-group arrests for
homicide, forcible rape, aggra¬
vated assault, robbery, burglary,
larceny, and auto theft more
than doubled the population in¬
crease percentage of the same
group. Arrests of persons under 18
for simple assault rose 79 per
cent, drunkeness and related 1 vio¬
lations 52 percent, disorderly con¬
duct 18 percent, and concealed
weapons 17 percent during the
same 5 years. In the light of this
shameful picture, we cannot say
that we were not forewarned.
The immediate objective, of
course, is to put a stop to these
rumbles and mass vandalism.
Meanwhile, the question puzzling
most people is what caused the
principles and morals of some of
our youth to degenerate to near
animal level. Recognizing the prob¬
lem comes much easier than its
solution. However, of all the fac¬
tors involved, I am convinced one
of the most damaging is the false
teaching which tends to blame so¬
ciety for all the frustrations, woes,
and inconveniences, real or imagin¬
ary, visted upon our young people.
Teenagers, and their parents, have
been subjected to a foolhardy
theory which condones rebellious
conduct against authority, law and
order, or any regulatory measures
which restrict their whims, wish¬
es, desires and activities. This as¬
tonishing belief has spread into
the schoolroom, the living room,
the courtroom, and now into the
streets of our Nation in the form
of wild, drunken brawls.
Nd doubt, society has failed
our youth, but not in the way
many seem to think. Rather, the
dereliction has been in the fail¬
ure to teach them the meaning- of
discipline, restraint, self-respect,
and respect for law aad order
and the rights of others. Conse¬
quently, the lesson now is both
painful and costly,

Housing and Urban
Development Act
The Housing and Urban Develop¬
ment Act of 1965, signed into law
by President Johnson on August
10, 1965, places the bulk of tha
rural housing program on an in.
sured loan basis, expanding the
size of the program, authorizes
loans for the purchase of previous¬
ly occupied dwellings and mini,
mum adequate building sites, and
reduces to 3% the interest rate
on loans made to non-profit groups
for senior citizens rental housing.
The Act also permits rural hous¬
ing loans to be made in rural com¬
munities with population not in ex¬
cess of 5,500 and authorizes up to
$50 million in grants for housing
for domestic farm labor during
the next 4 years.
The Act continues the authoriz¬
ation to make direct loans at 4%
to individual senior citizens for
rural housing and to low-income
families for minor repairs needed
to make their homes safe and sani¬
tary and to make direct loans at
3% interest to rural families
whose buildings have been de¬
stroyed or damaged by natural
disasters.
The interest rates on loans made
to non-profit groups for senior cit¬
izens rental housing is effective
immediately.
The other provisions will be¬
come effective as soon as fund*
are made available.
Under the insured loan program
the Farmers Home Administration
will make rural housing loans from
funds provided by private investors
with payment guaranteed by the
Government. Previously such loans
were made from funds borrowed
from the U.S. Treasury.
In addition loans can be insured
each year for families with income
above the moderate level. These
facilities would pay interest at 5%
per cent
Loans for the purchase of pre¬
viously occupied dwellings and
building sites in the past were
available only to rural people 62
years of age or older.
The interest rate on loans for
non-profit groups for rental hous¬
ing for senior citizens was 3%%
during the 3965 fiscal year.
Previously loans had been made
in rural communities having up
to 2,500 population,
As with all loans made or in¬
sured by the Farmers Home Ad¬
ministration applicants are eligi¬
ble only when they are unable to
obtain credit ait reasonable rate*
and terms from other sources.
H»e local FHA office in Gaines¬
ville, Ga., is located on the 2nd
floor of the County Courthouse.
