TO MY FELLOW CITIZENS:

Within the few days every of Washington will be

ofhis responsibility help curb crime its
put these boys in healhul and beneficial environment
and give them chance grow up and develop into
healthy American manhood.
The Police Boys Club will give you CITIZENS instead of

possible offers them chance learn the meaning of good
citizenship respect for law and ORDER and spirit of fair

Other cities daily spending hundreds of thousands of
dollars to stamp out petty crime and juvenile violations
