The responsibility of society large in the 'curbing of juvenile delinquency was sounded by Dr.

Msry Ellen'Goodman here Tuesday when she addressed members of the Galveston county chapter, Texas Social Welfare Association. She is a'visiting associate professor in the department of psychiatry at the University of Houston and is community relations coordinator of the Greater Houston Action for Youth project. She likened society to a boiling pot of soup in which the individuals are whirling or subjected to motion by others. Defined Delinquent She said delinquency is a problem between the individual and society and defined'a delinquent as a young individual who for one or more reasons has found himself unable to come to terms with society, to meet society's expectations. "And the terni delinquent does mean something, legally it is.re- served for youth who have been found guilty of serious devian behavior," she commented.

This is meaningful to a com munity and, despite arguments, i must be accepted that delinquency Is on the Increase and the out look serious, she said. Money Appropriated Dr. Goodman said Congress appropriated money for the Presi dent's committee on juvenile de linqucncy and crime to operal across the country and for com inanities to apply for grants de signed to aid the communities i looking closely into their own areas and taking action. "Ihis is just what Houston an eported," but we are trying to beams familiar with-the situatiba nd aim at a realistic plan for. the nture," she stated.

Emphasized Importance Dr. Goodman emphasized the mportance of informing the pub- that is a juvenile de- nquency problem, and there is an opportunity to do something about it. She said the objects are to a community climate and a level of information in the community so the citizens can be counted on to support and help detail a blueprint for action. Present day'society, she pointed out, is' not the ideal climate in vhich to rear children things are changing so rapidly, there 'is great physical mobility and there great difficulty in the child's coming to terms with "Present day children need lo Turn to Page 2, See FIVE Harris county have done," Dr Goodman said, as she told of th work of this special committei I "It's not just another study," sh THE SHEPHERD OPINIONS "It seemed good In thy sight" Mail. 11:28 Not what your preacher thinks of you.
