Roth spent five years learning ven
triloquism. He would appear on a
school stage with a microphone and
a dummy like Charlie Mccarthy.
He'd ask Charlie questions on safety
and Charlie would answer with wise
cracks. The children would talk safe
ty with Charlie, too, much to their
delight - and education.
Roth organized safety councils in
the schools and taught the children
how to run their meetings. He used
movies made with his own camera.
A radio station offered him time. 1t
didn't floor him - he remembered
his" kids. He secured help from ex-
perienced radio performers and went
on the air regularly. Roth went after
the older folks too, and he got his
ideas across. He kept working, year
after year.
AS result, during Roth's career
as police officer, Cleveland has had
seventy per cent drop in child fatali-
ties, making it the safest big city in
the United States.
AS result of his successful work
with young people. Roth was selected
to head the police Juvenile Bureau,
and become the spearhead in unique
attack on Cleveland's youthful crime.
1t was decided to start in what soci-
ologists said was the toughest district
in town - an area of factories and
low-income dwellings terrorized by
gangs of boys. Some years before a
Scout troop had been started, but
gangs had torn off the members uni
forms.
Captain Roth didn't hesitate. He
announced that a club for younger
boys was to be started and set a time
and place for an organization meeting.
Nobody came; the boys feared
police roundup"
So one morning he and another
policeman, both in plain clothes, stood
on a street corner. From his pocket
Roth pulled a rope, and began to tie
knots in it. The other officer watched
Roth keenly. Soon there were curl
Gus, dirty faces peering at them from
behind fences. A few bolder boys
moved up. Roth offered to show them
how to tie the knots. 1t wasn't long
before dozen small boys were tying
knots - Roth had enough rope for
Evening star., 1941-03-02

His Office is usually crowded with
people. "These kids run me bow
legged" he says in a kindly way.
Naturally, many of his kids have
grown up, but they still look to him
for guidance. He could not possibly
attend all the weddings and christen-
ings he's invited to.
"As cops" he will tell you, I'VE
don't like jails for kids. No member
of our Juvenile Bureau wears a uni
form. We don't make arrests We
don't let kid get police record to
boast about. We give him a physi-
cal examination and look into his
home life. Often pair of glasses or a
decent pair of shoes will do the trick.
We try to correct the cause OF the de-
linquency. We keep the boy in society,
under the responsibility of his parents,
if they are competent, or some older
friend whom he trusts. The kids we
can save now save the city thousands
of dollars in court and Jail costs later
on, not to mention some darned good
citizens"
Roth represents the change from
the old-style cop who chased law
breakers to the new-style one who
trecents crime and loss of life. The
things he's done can be done by any
community - without any real expense.
People will gladly help" he says
earnestly, "if you show them exactly
what you plan to do, what you need
and whom you're going to help. Fur
thermore, l show people what good
their money is doing after they give it.
We've always gone ahead, with help
from clubs, organizations and private
citizens, using the facilities we already
have. We don't need an elaborate
setup or big budget handout."
Cleveland's Safety Director Ness
recently referred to Captain Roth in
formally as a 'one-man war against
crime and death"
Another side, however, was pre-
sented at a recent civic meeting. Roth
was speaking to 400 women. He said
simply. during his talk, II live for
children" From anyone else, the
words might have seemed little too
sanctimonious, but not from Roth.
The audience knew thirty years of
hard work backed them up.
