Happenings Here just 10 Years
Ago Today As Taken From
The Files Of The Citizen

The water board has cancelled
the contract of Nell Scroggin. He
has been notified that he had as
well stop his operations on the
city ineinerator tract The board
has therefore declared the con-
tract at an end, and amy further
operations on your part viii be
entirely at your own responsible
ty" reads a letter sent 70 the
contractor by VIM. A. Malone, at
torney for the board. Water COM
missioners Beysen and Thonp-
son favored cancellation Of the
contract. Chairman Stearns fav-
ored allowing it to stand, though
he voted with the other two when
the matter was finally put. The
vote was taken in executive Ses-
sion. But the letter to Mr. Scrog-
gins says the motion was unani
nous. The main objection was
that the city could not afford to
pay 100000 a year for water.
Both Thompson and BOysen were
agreed on that. The discussion
was precipitated last night by
Mr.. Thompson who in offering his
order said: AS the matter stands
I do not think that Mr.. Scroggins
is acting according to his contract
and I believe he has a rig set up
with which he cannot go down
more than 200 feet. | think he is
sparring for time" Mr.. Thompson
then moved that the contract be
declared null and void, and was
seconded by Paul BOysen.

No Juvenile Court has been set up in
Worcester County and may it be be-
cause there is little or no juvenile de-
linquency problem in the county.

SO we decided there was no better
thing for to do than to try to pro
vide these things. The town was
solicited and everyone seemed so glad
to help. Boxes were packed and dis
tributed Christmas Eve. After Christ
mas a little girl came to one OF our
scouts and said how much they ap-
preciated their box. We, who knew OF
this incident realized that, in our small
way, we had added bit of cheer to
the holidays.
And now, having worked hard all
wear, we are all Second Class Scouts
and many have Merit badges. SO as
we look back on the fun and good
time we've had, we want to thank our
troop committee, our captain, Mrs. Cal
lahan, and reward their efforts by
continuing to progress.

ever seen.
What most of us are more proud of
than anything else is our participation
in the ceremonies which have taken
place in the last year. We marched
in the parade before the cornerstone
laying Of the Municipal Building and
at the opening Of the Ball Park, also
in the Fireman's Parade. We had a
float in the Potato Blossom Festival
which we decorated ourselves with
pines.
During the last year our four pa
trolls have been organized and have
been working hard to pass tests and
make money. Each now has a leader
and is really getting down to work.
We want to compliment Patrol No.
on the wonderful work they have done
under the leadership of Mrs. Roger
Lankford. Patrol No. had the lead
ing money-making project of the year.
They gave bingo party and made
$32.
Last summer we had a camp at
Public Landing and every girl who
went enjoyed it to the utmost. 1t was
an organized camp run like any Girl
Scout Camp with swimming, camp
fires, work committees, and handi-
craft. 1t was the crowning event of
the year and we just let loose and had
a good time. Thanks to Mrs. Gala
hans plans and to the help of the
Lions Club we had a week together
we will never forget.
At Christmas we learned that many
families would need toys and clothing.

MISS LANKFORD
TALKS ON JUVENILE
DELINQUENCY

Miss Myrtle Lankford, of Elkridge'
Nd. in a speech before the Woman S
Club. of Pocomoke, besides other
statements, had the following to say
regarding Juvenile Delinquency:
president Taft in 1910 said the
Agricultural Dept. of the Federal
Government was spending $15,OOO,OOO
a wear to tell farmers how to treat the
soil, cattle, hogs, horses, etc., IN order
to better the stock of animals, then
surelv the government has the power
to spend money to create the Chill
dren's Bureau-to tell how to develop
good men and good women. If you
are interested in any problem concern
ing youth, write to this Bureau IN
Washington, D. C. and valuable infor-
nation will be ent to you. 1t is es-
timated that around 100000 different
children yearly pass before the courts
on delinquency charges. This situa-
tion is serious and we should pledge
our interest anew in the problems OF
youth. The law has laid it's hand on
how many children of Worceter Co.
Last Aug. boy 13 years old was SEN
fenced from Worcester County to the
Maryland House of Correction. Before
Judgment was passed was real study
made of the delinquent, of his back
ground, environment, and associations,
his mental attitude and his health?
Crime has it's beginning in the be-
havior problems of children and we
are paying too much for the care and
punishment of criminals and paying
too little for the prevention of crime.
Statistics show that crime is on the
increase and the offender, younger.
Buildings are being erected and en-
larged to house the feebleminded, the
insane, the delinquent and the crlml-
nal. In Sing Sing year ago there
were % murderers in the death house
g of them under 21 years of age and
1 was only 17-more than will grad
uate from a small town high school
and today in the Md. House of Cor
rection there are 33 minors-24 of
them are 16 and nine are only 15. Two
are there from Worcester County. The
chances are they will be discharged
far worse than when they entered.
That institution is not a proper train
ing place for children. Factors that
contribute to juvenile delinquency are
unhappy home conditions; homes brok-
en- by the death, desertion, separation
or divorce of the parents and homes
where there is lack of affection and
harmony between parents, failure OF
parents to understand the child, feeble
minded parents, or one with court or
prison record.
Family life and religion formerly
furnished youth with a platform upon
which to stand but to-day neither ap-
peals to some children. Home is look
ed upon as a place to eat and sleep
and the delinquent knows little of re-
ligion. DIR. Henry Link, director of
The Psychological Service Center in
New York City and author of The Re-
turn to Religion says that going to
Sunday School and having parents
who attend church are the most i'm
portant factors in developing good
personality traits in children. That in
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1938-04-22

the hundreds of persons who have
come to him for advice he has noted
that seldom folks who regularly at
tend church seek help from him.
We are laying great stress on a
standard of living - decent housing
conditions and a minimum wage scale.
We need these but faith, peace and
clear conscience will go far toward
making us happy, useful citizens
without many so called necessary con-
veniences of today. Youth needs to
be given the guiding line of kindliness,
honesty, virility and love: if not, youth
may adopt the religion of Paganism
and the moral codes of ihe daily news
paper with it's Increasing stories of
crime, divorce, personal scandals and
degeneracy.
Youth and action are usually syn
onymous-youth is full of energy and
it is the duty of adults to find chan
nels in which this energy may flow
without rain. Can't we get youth in
terested in the home-playing indoor
games. reading aloud, and in parties
(not in road houses) but with friends
at home where there is love and pro-
lection.
The child has been created and
needs to be sustained and fed. Train
up a child in the way he should go
and when he is old he will not depart
from it." Train means to give educa-
tion by instruction and discipline
it does not mean-beating it into ones
head or beating the life out of him.
Character is formed by contact of
spirit with spirit and mind with mind
and the parent whose mind is filled
with abuse and anger will likely be-
get the same attitude in his child.
What you pour into the pitcher you
get back.
But if the child does become a de-
linquent and is taken to court, let it
OS III IIIC OOC0 az biAO O0NO-
nile Court of Baltimore City, where
Judge, parents, social workers, court
Investigator and others sit in confer
ence and after thorough study is
made of the child himself-his home,
school record, community activities,
mental and physical examinations,
40 hot
should be done. A Juvenile Court
represents protection and not punish
ment for the child and the Judge
should be like wise kind father. Use
the parole system whenever possible
give the child another chance. Pa
role him back in the family, with
relative, to a respected and under
standing citizen or place him in a
boarding home. Only because of
serious offence and as last resort
should the child be committed to an
institution.
What can de to keep the child from
becoming delinquent and perhaps even

later to prison? To keep them out of
mischief, children must be occupied
Organize clubs for them, sponsor the
Storytelling Hour and under super
vision have the school play grounds
open to them in summer at certain
hours.
Know your school teachers and
truant officers who can tell you what
children are presenting behavior prob
lens. Make it point to know those
children to be their friend-you may
gain their confidence and save them
from a ruinous career. Our influence
is like the ripple on the water.
Know your Juvenile Court Commit
