mates to the child in question.
 That the plan followed by the ofiicer is a successful one Is proven by the fact that he is hailed as "Joe" by all the children, including probationers who have learned that the policeman is their friend, not their enemy.
 This friendly attitude is charac- teristic of the entire detective per. sonnle under Chief Inspector Joe seph P. Stevens. These men have often worked until midnight or for several hours during their time of trying to solve the problems Of 8 child in diflculties.
 Detective Bender also assists in investigations of family and back ground and, because of his knowl- edge of the city as a member of the police force he is of invaluable help.
 Another aid in the investigation of cases is a master index file corn- piled last year by Miss NicoliI1a Flammia working under the PWA. Hitherto separate indexes existed for each group of records, filed ac- cording to type of case and investi- gation of one case required the con- sulting of several files. The new master index system, comprising over 1000 cards, makes 1t possible to locate 8 case, with all It's details, in a very short time.
 A map of the city made last year by Miss Eleanor McGrath showing areas where the largest number of juvenile delinquents are found is also valuable aid in Investigating backgrounds. James Curtin, super intendent of parks, is of the opinion that this map will prove of great assistance when consideration is given to the expansion of play ground and recreational facilities.
 Examinations
 After the preliminary investiga- ton, a child is given 8 physical ex- animation by a physician authorized by the court or at the clinic of St. Mary,s hospital or the Chase Des- pensary. He is also given psycho- logical examination to determine his degree of intelligence and a psychi"

whom she has called for heIp. She wishes to express her sincere thanks to Lincoln House, the Diocesan Bu- reau. the Chase Dispensary, Central Index, St. Mary's Hospital Clinic, Corner House, the Public Welfare Department and the Chisdren's Home Commission: to the Water bury newspapers, the police depart ment and the detective bureau; also to the community centers, church. es, schools, service clubs and other groups who have willingly assisted in the work of salYaging the youth of the city.
 Expression of Appreciation
 I wish to take the opportunity once more of expressing my pride In the work of Judge John F. Mc- Grath and Judge Edward Mascolo of our Juvenile Court of Water bury. Their understanding of child psychology, their sincere interest in every case has made the work of the probation ofiicer easier. They are never too busy to consider cases at length and their tact and in- sight are of immeasurable value in this work.
 I wish also to thank the clerical staff and the physicians of the Ju. venile Court who have been untiro ing in their efforts.
 The task of the Juvenile Court remains a difficult one because 1t must supply to the unhappy child the care he would normally receive from his parents and the peace and understanding and encouragement he would find in 8 happy home. We feel that in at least twenty-three per cent of the cases referred to us we have done this successfully enough to warrant disinissing pro- bationers with confidence. Twenty per cent are generally lost. With the remaining fifty-seven per cent there Is still work to do and we face the new year in the hope that we can continue the slow process of re- adjusting them to a normal position In friendly world.
 Respectfully submitted,
 KATHLEEN CROWLEY,
 Probation Officer.

Training for parenthood is rec commended by Miss Kathleen Crowl- cy, juvenile probation ofiicer of the city court, In her annual report. which has been submitted to Judge John r. Mc0rath and Judge Ed. ward Mascolo. Training of mothers and fathers for parenthood, says Miss Crowley, would be "an im- portant and constructive step m curing juvenile delinquency"
 The report shows that during the year Miss Crowley handled total of aD0 cases. She made 960 visits in connection with juvenile court work. At the end of the year 47 young. sters were still under the super vision of the juvenile court, with 12t having been dismissed follow ing improvement.

 Some excerpts from Miss Crowl- eys report follow:
 PaYenthOOd
 Is there a remedy for juvenile de- 1inquency2 The Juvenile Probation OfHcer Is often asked this question and the answer that Is most obvious after years of experience is that training of fathers and mothers for parenthood is an important and constructive step in curing juvenile delinquency. The richest heritage that can be given any child Is the memory of a happy home. By a happy home, mean one in which love and understanding are the foundation stones and the children are taught reverence for church, for parents and family, and for au- thority, national, state, and city.
 These days clergymen of all de- nominations are urging the return of the old-fashioned custom of family prayers. would welcome this, as I would welcome another ld.fashioned and beautiful custom that of having young men and women kneel and ask the blessing of their parents on their wedding day, thus starting on their new life with a realization that marriage IS a serious and lasting business and that they need Divine help in such a grave matter as the bringing up of children.

Johns Picture of the Crucifixion
 Text: John 19:A-9. 14-1s 2S-3o

ed Q point in His life where the temptation to seek avoiding 1t was a'vnoet overwhelming. At the be- gi.aning of His ministry, there were temptations to turn from His di- vine mission to some scheme oi errtrly conquest or vain glory. The devil had lured Him with . vision of all the kingdoms of the world and the power thas He might exer- else over them.
 At a later stage, there must have be n an occasional temptation to lead @ popular movement of revolt such as many Jews wanted. And then, during the hour in the gar- den of Gethsemane, there came the earnest, agonizing prayer that, Ii 1t were possible, the cup might pass
 T. was too late. The hour of des- tiny had come, but 1t did not find an unwilling victim. Deeply In that spiritual conflict Jesus had tri- ,lnpiied.
 In His anguish, He had said Nevertheless, not as wilt, but as Thou wilt" The words that some had mockingly said of Him as He hung on the cross, "He saved others Himself He cannot save" were ht- CT; lily true. It was the last su. pre;ne sacrifice of love and deyo- ton to the truth.
 -or us the spiritual reality of the ctucifixion depends to some ex- tent upon the vividness with which we are able to reproduce the scene r. our contemplation of the suf- fering victims on the crosses. the Master and the two thieves, we per- haps are apt to forget that, staId- ing by the cross among other wom- ell, was His mother.
 'an we think of what that iileansP Mary, in the fulness and richness of her love, had followed her son even to the last agony. What deep an, striking troubles she had ex- .rienced since tho days when wise men had come honoring her new. born babe. and she had "pondered all these things, and kept them in he- heart"
 B..t motherly devotion had stood the test of the years, and there could hardly have been an anguish of tn, cross deeper than the anguish of .he mother who stood by her suf- fering son. :.
 Tn re Is tenderness and beauty irl the thought of Jesus for His moth CT IS He turned to John and said "Woman, behold thy son."
 Tn. most human picture of the crucifixion is this in Johns Gospel and the significance of the divine event, the tragedy of glory. is made all the more real in its human set- ting.

Q. What is meant by Che Canon of the Old Testament?


 A. By "The Canon of the Old Testament" Is meant that collec- ton of the literature of Israel, written in Hebrew and Aramaic. which became authoritative to Judaism in matters of religion and was taken over as authoritative by the Christian church (though by it in the Greek translation known as the Septuagint, which included also other books.) The word "canon" is Greek, being connected with the word ''canna," reed. and denoting a straight rod or bar, then a carpenters or builders rule, then some sort of standard. and finally a collection of literature, sacred or secular, which affords such q standard. The books of Scripture are canonical as being the authoritative standards of faith and practice.
 Q. Have we knowledge in each instances of Che auth0Es of the books of the Old Testament?
 A. The literature which congti- tutes the old Testament Is the slow and largely unconscious dee posit of Q national fife extending over a milleniuin. That life moved at varying levels of quality, but its finest experiences were gath- cred up and found classical ex- precision in master spirits" Some Of them arc known tO us by iahne. but more are uiikmown: and much of their anonymous work gathers round tho few remembered names. The anonymity makes no dlifer- ence to tho quality of the ugoduet.

Officer Bender aids the Pro- bation Ofiicer in the investigation of cases and makes frequent visits to the school playgrounds during the summer months. Sometimes It is necessary to visit a school where a child reported to the court is ill class. By making frequent visits to the playgrounds in an unofficial capacity, Detective Bender can easily make an official visit without drawing the attention of his class

Known or unknown, 1t Is the life of a people that throbs and pulses through the recorded words. O. Will the churches become q thing of the past? VIII belief in God be destroyed? Wiil conn., munlsn1 rule?
 A. This question requires that one should assume the role of a prophet and read the future and that is impossible, Christian faith believes the declaratio nof its Lord, that the gates of hell will not prevail against His church. It is the faith of the Christian that so long as humanity continues be- lief in God will endure and that the Atheism that characterizes communism cannot prevail.
 O. What do Catholics consider to be the sins that cannot be for- given?
 A. A Catholic spokesman re- plies: By the unpard enable sin IS generally meant the sin of final impenitence. The contrite sinner will always be pardoned. But the sinner who refused to repent is not pardoned because he does not ask for 1t. The sin mentioned by Christ against tho Holy Ghost That shall not be forgiven in this world or the world to come" (Matt. XII. 2i. 32: Mark TIT 2a-30: Luke XII. iW was the will- fui rejection by the pharlsees of the miracles Hc wrought ln proof of His divine mission, and the malicious ascribing og them to the power of BeelEebub. the Prince 0g Devils.
