ANN ARBOR
BY JOHN RAGLAND

Seventeen OF the colored male
population OF this community were
selected last week by the Presi-
dent of the United States for service
with the armed forces many OF
these young men had lived in or
near Ann Arbor for most part Of
their lives. To us who knew them.
they represented the flower OF the
youth OF our city and their part
ing leaves us with some sadness.
Quite rightly these boys we're
feted and honored in the best
Ann Arbor manner by their FAM
lilies. their friends, their COM
munity. Last Friday, a local cit
liens committee gave a reception
for these selectees, their families
aud their friends at the Dunbar
Community center. The affair was
very we'll attended and from var
icus reports was highly enjoyed.
Fully 125 people crowded into
the center to do honor to these
boys.
Appearing on the program were
Edward Conlin. lawyer and men,
Der OF local draft board No. l;
Redmon Burr. secretary OF the
board OF appeals; Presiding Elder
Blake. the Rev. j. W. Wright.
Mrs. Virgil Huey. Miss Ayers and
MIR. Foster. and the Dunbar male
chorus. Music by Miss Virginia
Wilson. Sponsors included tho
Second Baptist church. Bethel

and individuals. Several presen-
tations we're made TO the selec-
tees, including cigarettes from
the Ann Arbor Civic club and

REHABILITATION OF JUVENILE
DELINQUENTS AMONG NEGROES
BY W. r. HARRISON
Sociolocist and Youth Advisor

The Friendly Guidance COM
mittee, which was organized over
a year ago for the correction and
prevention OF delinquency among
Negro boys, has Just completed
its investigation concerning the
conditions OF delinquency and has
set In motion program for the
rehabilitation OF delinquents.
The various social agencies and
individuals who are interested in
solving youth problems have been
contacted and they all testify IA
the fact that the organization Of
the Friendly Guidance group Is
meeting very definite need As
basis for It's program. Il was
found that large number of de-
linouents are growing up under
indifferent and careless adult su-
pervisron. especially IN The more
congested nelghborhoods. Some ol
the other outstanding factors con.
tributing n juvenile delinquency
are inadequate recreational facili.
ties. limited adult interest. and
