CRIME PREVENTION

Harping on the old. subject OF
crime prevention We venture again
TO point out the cost of neglect.
Take Michigan dor example. Michi-
gan pays a tribute to crime equal
TO $3.50 for each family annually,
and every year $500 persons enter
the states prisons, while oo,VuV 10
10000 occupy local jails. This state
ment is made in the report OF the
Michigan Child Guidance Institute.
one of the important items To De
considered in attacking the crime
problem on a more comprehensive
scale than yen attempted is the
amount OF juvenile delinquency
which. unless checked by sc.entlnc
means. almost inevitably leads to
adult law=breakiMs of a serious ma
ture.
Each year 5000 boys and girls
pass through SO juvenile courts as
delinquents. and all OF the time
back OF this annual crop OF 5000
delinQuents-many OF whom are go
ing on TO prison-there are from
10000 to 100000 -pre-delinquent or
problem children in public schools.
These pre-delinquents form the
great delinquency reserve from
which will come the $4,000 delin-
quents who are destined 10 reach
our courts between now and Janu-
airy l, 1918.
To handle each of our 5000 delin-
quents each year costs the taxpay-
ers on an average about 1920 a
case, or s1100,00O in all every -
months. To maintain and operate
SO jails costs the taxpayers an
other s1100,000 year. To sup
port the state police and to pay
for the crime-controlling functions
OF the circuit courts costs an esti.
mated S1250,000. The crime-con-
troll portion OF the budgets OF the
police departments in ia cities
and towns exceeds s10000,000. The
Detroit police budget alone is that
much. The states prisons cost
over 100000 in 1878.
All these visible book costs Of
delinquency and crime foot IN 10
more than $16,450,00O. And this
is only the minimum visible cost
OF crime and delinquency in
Michigan.

Gay Celebration Has Been Planned In City
CContlnued from Page 1)

scully and other city officials ct the city hall at ii 6. m.
 Every indication points to e gala celebration tonight, many people apparently having the thought that "one last fling" ct gaiety iS in order before settling down to the serious business of war.
 The stroke of i2 will find thou- sands raising their voices in the strains of Aud Lang Syne" and joining in Q toast to the New Year,
 (By United Press)
 America welcomes Io42 tonight with wiioopee parties sobered by grim reminders that the nation iS at war.
 In many cities the lid waS off for 6 celebration that "may Do the last big New Years for some tiTne."
 But air raid wardenS will rningle with the throngs in New York'S Times Square, where the New Year tradltlonally receives It's most up. roarious greeting. Three hours la. ter when 1042 reaches the Pacific coast, !t will find lights diSnTned knd gaiety fluffled against the possibil- ity of enemy bolnbers.
 Mayor Fiorello Laduardia Of New York, national civilian defense director, set the keynote for most cities when he announced there would Dc no restrictions in New York because 1t may be the last big New Years for some time" In addition to the air raid wardens, Q police detail of 2y400, the largest in history, was assigned to Times Square.
 San Francisco and Oakland pro- hibited street celebrations and called ol the citizenry to celebrate New Years eve indoors" Theaters and night clubs were open, hoping for capacity houses. Police asked cele. brants to keep cars out of the down town section and not to throw con- fettl or use 11olse.inakeTs.

 Californians couldn't look forward to the Rose Bowl football game and Tournament of Roses at Pasadena, to the annual Shrine east-west game In San Franclsco, or to horSe racing at Santa Anita park. The army has cancelled them all. But there was ample liquor and the prices were low.
 The Rose Bowl game is being played tomorrow at Durham, N. O., home of Duke University, and Pasa- denas Tournament of Roses Assos ciation will gratefully share lu the proceeds. The east-west game will be played In New orleans Saturday, and the Shrine hospital for crippled children In San Francisco again will be the beneficiary.

 Sirens and other noise -making de. vices were outlawed in west coastal cites and at Philadelphia, New orleans, Mobile, Ala, and other points to guard against confusing them with air raid alarms and to mako certain genuine "alert" sig nals would not be rnisinterpreted.

first, defensive, which Prime Min. ister Winston Churchill in his speech to the United States Con- gress put at approximately ono year
 Second, an offensive to start when the huge potentials of Russia, the British empire and the United States can be brought fully into play.
 The first period seems slated to be one of delicately balanced Inaneu- yer designed to protect what the allies have, and above ali to main- tain vital supply lines and prevent the Axis from seizing the bases from which 0 general allied offensive must one day be launched.
 This period demands c solution to several problems of urgent import ance, none of which can be ignored but each of which-with one excep- tino-inust Do judged in relations to the others.
 These problems are:
 (A) Production. This task ad. Ealttedly outweighS all others. Brit. ain with universal conscription of men and women can get few more turns from the wheels. Russia with new factories plus those transplant. cd miraculously from Territory co. cupied by the Germans can regain . large part of the industrial energy lost during the last six month. China can build her own small arms. All need the production yield of the United States for tanks, cannon, aircraft, ships and other tools of war.
 What Production Means
 Production means arms for China's millions, for the spring campaign which Russia must face, for com. nand of the seat and for bombing the enemy's home front.
 (B) Food. Britain needs 9rood from the Empire, the United States and Argentina. Russia, deprived of some of her richest grainlands, may require help on Q huge scale. This includes not only food for human mouths but food-oil-for machines of modern war. It means that oil fields like Tran, 1raq, CaucASia, the Dutch East Indies must be de. sended wherever possible, destroyed If not.
 (C) Supply lines. Without them neither production nor food can be translated into striking power. Five main supply lines demand attention. The oldest leads to China where GeneralissiHno Chiang Kai-Shek's chief source of munitions and guns Is the Burma road, already threat ened seriously from Thalland. With. out the road Chiang could reply only on route from Russia, which needs everything she can produce to re. arm herself during the winter.
 The second is the Atlantic life. line where combined Anglo-Ameri. can seq power definitely has the upper hand but where . new Na2i offensive may break at any moment.
 The third oldest supply line Is that to the middle east via Gibral~ tar or the tedious route around Africa. It is essential to the British for protection of all North Africa.
 The fourth line extends to the
