Already the gamma globulin used in mass innoculations in Tennessee polio outbreaks alone have consumed more than has been collected by the Mid-South Blood Center in two years of constant efforts.

Juvenile Delinquency In West Tennessee Rises Since 1948 Juvenile delinquency in West Tennessee is 50 per cent over 1948, according to Hugh E. Drury, United States Probation Officer for the west state area.

This statement from Mr. Drury came as he was addressing a large group of members and visitors at at meeting Friday afternoon of the Jackson-Madison County Health Advisory Council. His subject was 'Organized Means of Caring for and Preventing Juvenile Delinquency. Mr. Drury said.

"Juvenile delinquency is fast becoming the number one social problem of the nation. The F. B. I. reports show that the 1951 auto thefts by delinquents were up more than 50 per cent over those in 1948.

Youngsters under 18 years of age committed one out of every five burglaries. 3 per cent of the murders, and 2 percent of the assault cases." "Right now," the speaker said, "it is estimated that police handle about one million boys and girls each year. By 1960. due to the enlarged birth rate during and after the war, the number is likely to reach two million. This makes the prospect for the future doubly Bine or Black on White.

"Many of the children picked up by the police are familiar faces to them.

Their behavior has not improved since the last time they were apprehended. Hundreds of other children just on the verge of trouble are known to the police. These men can do very little about them because there are so many new cases to occupy their attention they can do little work on the preventive side. "Most juvenile delinquents are sick, not physically but mentally. If these children are handled correctly, at an early age, they can be cured." "There are four departments, Mr.

Drury said, "which should cooperate and improve the handling of delinquency the police, the detention home, the judge, and the State Training Schools. "In a city the size of Jackson, one or two policemen should be given special training and assigned all juvenile cases. "There should be a 'home where all juvenile offenders may be kept while awaiting disposal of their cases. Such a home should be in the care of a couple who understand children in trouble. It should have none of the earmarks of a jail, even though the youngsters must remain within its domain.

When young first-offenders come in contact with criminals they leave after only one day with the knowledge of how to repeat what they have done and not get caught. "The Juvenile Court should be the most important of all because here is where you get the foundation for prevention of delinquency as well as the treatment of it. "The first and most important factor is that the Judge should be a well qualified person in all respects. He should know not only the laws but should have had training in child treatment and welfare. The court should have a well-trained probation officer because he is the one that must go into the community and find out the background of the juveniles.

He must be able to find the cause for delinquency so the Judge can recommend the correct treatment. YYou have an agency in your town that can do a good job of aiding, assisting, or even taking the place of the probation officer, name ly: the Child Welfare Office.

Beginner swimming lessons are being taught by Miss Jean Nicholson. Her class opened with 34 students but all of them have not attended regularly because of the polio scare in recent weeks.

However, she has good attendance each day and those taking advantage of this opportunity to learn swimming are enjoying the sourse. such a project Before you see too many dollars passing before you let me remind you that it is estimated that the cost of crime in the United States next year will pass the fifteen billion dollar mark. If a part of this huge sum could be spent for more and better juvenile courts, we could reduce the fifteen billion dollars to such an extent that the cost spent in improving courts and treatment of Juveniles would be a saving to the taxpayer in the long run. "If Jackson can add the juvenile court to the facilities it already has. you can be very proud of yourselves as you will be of your community in the years to come.

I refer to such facilities as the recreation program, the churches, the hospitals, your social service agencies, and your much improved school system. The talk was followed by a lively question and answer period. The group voted that the committee with Dr. Frank Moore, chairman. Dr.

Blanche Evans, Raymond Skiles, and Mrs. Hugh Main-ord continue study of the problem of juvenile delinquency and report at the next meeting of the group. About 220,000 people visited Mon-ticello, Thomas Jefferson's home, in 1952. B. F.
