ed j. Paul Shelton for his varied
and unusual collection OF traf1ic
tickets.
Judge John p. Mcmahon made
the award yesterday after a cere-

nine policemen trooped to stand

in the 24-year-old mans collection.
Besides the 25-day jail sentence

was ordered to pay fines totaling
1928 or serve an additional 1913 days
In Jail. The court suspended SEN

that brought charges ranging from
parking violations to driving on a
revoked permit.

court adjourned and while bailiffs
were engaged elsewhere the young
man calmly walked out. Police,
armed with a court attachment, be-
gan a widespread hunt, but the
next day, just as calmly, Shelton
walked back into court. His bond
was raised to $700, and he went to
Jail in default.

Mahon said: The whole course

boys club in the basement Of the
Fifth Precinct on Washington S
Birthday, 1884. Maj. Brown be-
lieved the club would aid in COM
batting juvenile delinquency by
taking underprivileged boys off the
streets and giving them recreational
activity under police supervision.
Since that day, the club at the
Fifth Precinct has doubled its men,
bership several times-now having
the names of 1922 boys on its
rosters-and four other similar
clubs have been started in the city.
The total membership is now l2,707.

is shown in the decrease in juvenile
delinquency during the past five
years, James E. Colliflower. presi-
dent, said. In 1884, 800 juveniles
were arrested-while only 66 were
