H. Beckner. in charore of 1 THESE ARE YORK'S SORE SPOTS In a survey conducted by John Wooster Martin, juvenile delinquency authority, in cooperation with Chief of Police Nelson Shnltz and Policewoman Mary C. Boeckel, it was found that child delinquency generally was confined to certain areas of the city mostly the "poor" areas, where homes are shabby and ill-equipped and families are huddled together in poor environments. The heavy lines dividing this map of York (above) are Market and George streets which intersect at Continental square.

Although the black dots which represent the residences of past delinquents are somewhat misleading because of the lack of room to further concentrate the dots, this will give Yorkers an idea of the areas which breed social maladies among young people. The bad spots at uper left are in the general area of the Codorus-Gas avenue-Newberry sections, and spots near Farquhar park and the northwestern industrial region. Top right dots represent the homes of delinquents from the Wallace-Chestnut street area, near the county jail. Dots at the lower left indicate investigations of delinquents in the Princess street-Court avenue areas south and east of the square. Mr.

Martin minted out that it was impossible to concentrate these dots exactly as they should be. For exam-le- f'e line of dots at the lower right indicate a number of cases in one section of Court avenue. Martin stated that these in particular, should indicate a more central concentration. Policewoman Boeckel, who investigated 91 complaints involving children at the spots said that these investigations, in which no children were arrested, could best be described as "crime prevention cases." The investigations deoicted here were made from Jan. 1, 1944, to July 1, 1945.

500 Attend Christian Science Lecture At Senior High School Five hundred persons attended the lecture presented by Harry C. Browne, C. New York City, last night in William Penn Senior High school auditorium under the sponsorship of the First Church of Christ, Scientist. Sneaking on "Christian Science: God's Word of Eternal Life," Mr. Browne said that Bible authorities agree that there are often two meanings to Scriptural passages, a literal meaning and an inspired or figurative one.

He spoke "of the eternality of God's Word, the Scriptures an'd Science and Health, and the impossibility of either of these two revelations of God's Word being set aside by those who thought to regiment the world's thinking to human ologies and isms." Mr. Browne, who is a member of the board of lectureship of the Mother church, the First Church of Christ, Scientist, Boston, was introduced by George Henry, first reader of the local church.

MORE RECREATION (Continued from First Page) area, south and east of the square, and the Co'dorus-Gas avenue-Newberry street district, just west of the creek. Martin claims the most effective attack that could be made by York clubs and civic organizations against delinquency would be the establishing of three community centers for the use of juveniles, and later adulis one in each of the areas. Police Chief Shultz, Martin stated, "is an ardent advocate of this plan and has stated repeatedly his opinion that the installing of such centers in the three districts 'described would do more than anything else to aid in a city-wide delinquency and crime prevention program." "Such a plan," Martin continued, "also has the unqualified endorsement of J.

W. Faust, representative of the National Recreation Association in the York area, and one of the America's foremost recreation authorities." As for the building an'd maintenance of the centers. Martin said that under existing conditions it appears that the cost must be borne by contributions from organizations, interested commercial firms and citizens. "They should become a project of all clubs and organizations in the city," he declare'd, warning that no single group should attempt to do more than sponsor one center, or part of it. Martin thinks that each center should be well equipped and well endowed, and that one or more competent, well-traine'd adult supervisor should be hired for each project.

Ample space and equipment for out-of-doors playgrounds should be adjacent, he stated. The use of existing school buildings an'd recreational equipment in these described areas should be given consideration, Martin reported. Thiswould save the community the cost of erecting new buildings, he said. The idea of establishing community centers in areas of high 3elinquency is not a new venture in the United States, declared Martin. His report showed how Grand Rapids, used that method and 'drastically reduced child crimes.

With a number of highly successful examples as reference, Martin surcested that a miniature Junior Red Cross Plans Open House Open house at Junior Red Cross headquarters will be held Friday from 4 to 6 p. m. All schools enrolled in the organization are invited to visit the new workshop and headquarters. 38 North Duke street. A business meeting will be held at the Manufacturers building preceding "open house." Mrs.

Minnie P. Hatton, executive director, will preside. Deardorffs Mark 57th Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. M.

R. Deardorff, Sunday celebrated their 57th wedding anniversary at their home, 611 Hudson street. Mrs. Deardorff is 82 years old and Mr. Deardorff, 76.

During the day they were visited by Mr. and Mrs. Ivan G. Griffin and daughter, Sue Karen; Mr. and Mrs.

Lynn W. Moore and children, Lynn, Larry and Douglas; Fleta G. Griffin and Erma O. Poet. The couple have been subscribers of The Gazette and Daily for 45 years.

Girl Scout Troop 23 Elects Officers Girl Scout Troop 23 of the First Methodist church elected officers for the coming year at their last meeting. They are: Peggy Deardorff, president; Jackie Wilson, vice president; Fay Motter, secretary; Jean Bailey, treasurer; Julia Fink, scribe. Mrs. Barnes is the temporary scout leader. A course in home nursing will be directed by Mrs.

Frank Lesley. Personal Interest Mrs. William A. Malehorn, York, is spending a few weeks at Keesler field, with her husban'd, Pvt. Malehorn.

They celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary Oct. 26. The couple have two children, Bonnie Louise an'd William, Jr. tin ueiieves. "It should be kept in mind that the field, if it is to be of full value to the boys and girls of the city, should have at least three diamonds for the playing simultaneously of soft and hard ball games, in addition to the main diamon'd for use of adult teams." Martin proposed.

This would provide ample facilities for the playing of games in "kid leagues" which he thinks should be organized throughout the city. The action of the Teen Age Center in providing space for work in crafts, hobbies, dramatics an'd other activities was praised by the juvenile authority. CHINESE FIGHTING (Continued from Page 3) Meanwhile, a group of 300 delegates to the projected National Assembly issued a statement here urging the assembly be convoked at once to haul China back from the brink of civil war. "Only at this assembly," the group asserted, "can the will of the people be made known, the nation's problems be solved, constitutional government be established and democracy implemented." Spokesmen told correspondents that reorganization of the Chinese army and administration of liberated areas two thorny questions plaguing the problem of national unity should be decided by the assembly rathei than by Chungking-Communist conferences.
