1.-TWO weeks ago | stated that
lack Of law enforcement had put
the city into most unenviable
position. With no intention
whatever of criticising either the
police who did a good job in
rounding up those apparently re-
sponsible parties, or the Juvenile
court who passed possibly in
dicated sentence, | maintain that
sending boys to Lancaster is not
the answer to our juvenile prob
lem," said Payne.
"But the burden of blame can
not be placed on the police or
courts any boy might slip
once, but the parents of the
chronic offender are directly re-
sponsible to society and should
be punished instead of the boy
the Ohio code provides for
that" continued Payne.
The councilman then called
attention to the ordinance pass
ed in 1926 which calls for a cur
few and urged that it be put in
force at once.
Councilmen Frank L. (Bud)
Stare, Jr., and Robert Evans,
admitted the problem of juvenile
delinquency which seems to be
growing in Newark and the need
of doing something, but sug-
gested the old ordinance was too
harsh and should be amended.
Miss Joel Jones speaking from
the floor of the chamber called
attention to the 9, 10 and 12-
year-old boys who are about the
streets all hours of the night
selling the might greens" with
out apparent supervision and for
the most part lads from under
privileged homes.
"Those boys probably do not
get enough to eat and certainly
being deprived of other things
cannot afford to lose sleep and
make up for it in school the next
day." said Miss Jones.
She suggested that an ordin-
ance be passed regulating the
age limits of boys allowed to sell
papers on the streets at certain
hours, similar to regulations in
Cincinnati and other places, and
that they wear identifying
badges. She also made it plain
that the curbing of juvenile de-
linquency starts primarily with
the parents and that something
should and will be done about it.
Many parents, and some par
ents of delinquent boys, tell me
they are in favor of the curfew
that it would help they them
selves to remember their chill
dren should be off the Streets"
said Miss Jones, who was recent
ly named by Mayor Lockwood as
chairman of a city recreation
committee.
President of Council Clint
Conner suggested that a revised
ordinance be brought in for con-
sideration and then enforced.
ORDINANCES
An ordinance was passed call
ing for a transfer within the
waterworks fund of 500 for lab

made within the general fund for

School Nurse Needed

population have a school
nurse hired by the board of
education. We believe that
a school nurse is necessary
in Newark. In fact the rec
ent report of the state
school examiner decried the
lack of one in the city
school,, and the absence of
aG adequate health protec-
tion set-up for school chill
dren.
We understand that the
board of education is now
giving some thought to
health clinics, but even this
would not make up entirely
for the services a school
nurse could render.
Now, during this war
emergency as never before,
is it necessary that more
thought be given to the
health of children in our
schools. Something should
be done about it.
An interesting report of
the activities of the school
nurse in the Nelsonville, O.
schools was recently pub
lished in the weekly paper
in that town of between
five and six thousand pop
ulation-and Newark, near
ly six times as large does
not have a school nurse.
The Nelsonville nurse
among a great many other
duties made $50 calls, rend-
cred 1889 first aid treat
ments, furnished remedies
in INDECENT cases through
help of Child Welfare fund,
made home Investigations,
found 163 pupils with defec-
tive teeth, 38 with defective
vision, 70 with enlarged ton
sils, SO under-weight, 29
had enlarged glands, all in
Just one of the three schools
of the city, besides many
other health defects.
Children were immunized
for diptheria, given Shick
tests and tuberculin tests,
and many other activities

ried on.
Don't you believe that if
Nelsonville schools can find
>funds to employe a health
nurse-that certainly New

smearing labor and charg-
ing unions have profited
from the defense program.
The story made page one in
almost every newspaper in
the country. The true facts
were not presented. Presi-
dent William Green of the
AFL promptly demonstra-
ted from the records that
the alleged wealth of unions
was contained largely in in
surance funds for which the
organizations were obligat-
ed to their members.
He pointed out that the
.AFL Unions had paid out
'450 million dollars in four
teen years to their members
for unemployment, sickness,
death and disability bene-
fits. One would expect that
in all fairness, the news
papers would give equal

What See Where to Eat and What to Do

The first aid men took over,
stretcher, blankets and all. The am
bulance drivers returned to their
machine. The leader in the first aid
station said, Don't let this boy get
pneumonia" Wrap a blanket
around him and take him down
stairs until the doctor looks him
over. So another blanket was heap
ed around the Boy Scout who be-
gan to feel like tenant in turk
lsh bath.
He was carried downstairs to the
basement of the church house that
operates as first aid depot
Stretcher, scout, blankets and all
we're deposited on the floor and they
retugned to their post. The nurse
in charge came over to inspect him.
You're our casualty" she said.
The doctor is on his way but we
mustn's let you get pneumonia.
Here girls, put blanket around
this patient" The boy protested to
no avail.
The building was heated. 1t had
an odor of steaming coffee and Gig
arettes. An all clear sounded. Lights
al over the Post could be turned on
again. The |fPost" kitchen force had
been demonstrating their ability too.
Everybody in the first aid station
was being treated to coffee and
cakes. The latter had been brought
in earlier by well wishers.
The Boy Scout shifted the coffee,
watched the cake eating scene and
complained again that he was
wringing wet. Let me out OF here"
ne demanded. II wonder what we
are supposed to do with him" the
volunteer leader inquired? 1t was
apparent that the doctor was not
around by the time the "all clear"
had been sounded. They decided to
let the boy free and peeled off four
blankets.
At home few minutes later, the
Boy Scout announced to a house
full of company, What happened
to me tonight, shouldn't happen to
dog" His mother felt the sweat
shirt, ordered him upstairs to get
into the bathtub and then to bed.
Once there he found extra blankets
had been added to the regular al
lotmert. 81 don't want my boy to
