(lid Obedience Training Stressed by Woman jurist "The greatest wrong that we have done to young people is to take the word 'obedience' out of our philosophy in bringing up children," asserted Judge Camille Kelley, judge of the Juvenile Court of Memphis, nationally known for her work, who spoke here Friday evening. Judge Kelley spoke to a large audience in the Bakersfield Junior College building lecture hall under 'the auspices of the Kern County Mental Hygiene Society. Young persons need a stable code upon which they can rely, JudKC Kelley asserted.

In citing that morality can he taught, she said: "You could not-find 10 youngsters who -would desecrate the American but you can find many, who. following adult examples, laugh at moral principles. She pointed out that Germany and Japan "inculcated principles in every child that we consider false." Instead of providing a practical code of behavior," the judge continued, "we lecture to young people and about them until they close their ears against us. Undiluted criticism is not a healing lotion. 'To educate' means literally to draw out, drive in.

We have continually featured the mistakes of the young instead of finding out wiiat kind of individuals they are and how their energies can be constructively directed." Judge Kelley told of the Counsel Guidance Clinic, which she established in conjunction with her own court, the purpose of which is to keep young people out of the law courts if possible by first providing counsel children and their parents. Every child who conies into her court is first given a complete physical examination and an intelligence test, she said.

REMEMBER- NEXT TUESDAY IS THE DAY! 1 and Vote Yes for a Xew FIRE ALARM System: Greater Bakersfield Chamber of Commerce Duck Ground Needs Aired Commissioners Meet With Federal Men Over Public Lands Members of the California State Fish and Game Commission met here today with two members of the federal fish and wildlife service in hope of working out a cooperative agreement toward establishment of public shooting and resting grounds in California for migratory waterfowl. Included in those attending the session wore 4 Ix-e Payne, chair- utun of the fish and game commission General H. II. (Hap) Arnold, Harvey Hastaiu and AV. J.

Silva. commissioners; Kmil J. X. Ott. ex- ecutive director for the commission: Leo Lay the, regional director for the wildlife service, nnd Everett Horn, also of the federal agency.

Stumbling Blocks At. (lie present a California statute and the lack of necessary funds both in this slate and the federal government bus proven a siiunliling block towards (he establishment of reserves for the past two and one- half years. Payne slated. The California law requires the federal government, purchasing land in this slate, to pay taxes on that land, he added. This has stymied any action being taken the government towards the ultimate goal, a mecca for California duck hunters and a protection of crops and salvation of duck population.

as is the lack of funds from proper departments for expenditures along these lines. Fund Insufficient Only monies derived from the sale of duck stamps can be used and this is not sufficient. However, Clarence congressman from Yulni and Suiter counties, has a bill before the. Congress requesting the needed funds. If a satisfactory working agreement can be reached, a hill to amend the present statute regarding taxation of government owned lands in this state, probably will be introduced.

Present plans being aired liere today call for some sort of linking Jif ownership and operation of the shooting and feeding grounds. The federal group favors having adjacent properties with each group ill emitting every other year in ipcrating the shooting and resting grounds. Resting Ground In other words, the shooting grounds one year would become the resting grounds the following year. Payne also stated he, Ott. and Alleu Taft.
