THE APPROACH TO THE
PROBLEM

Before any problem can be corrected,
the cause of the trouble should be ascer-
tanned and the corrective created to fit
the case.
Mr.. Hoover attributed the sharp in
creases to a deplorable lack of parental
guidance and discipline in many homes,
and also to the boom conditions and easy
money in the hands of youth, accompan-
led by sense of wartime abandon,
1t is not for US to guess whether this
fully explains the local conditions or not
We do suspect. however, that there are
important additional factors.
What is needed are not guesses but
facts. and the best way to ascertain the
facts is to ask those best qualified to COM
bine their abilities and experience and
investigate the trouble

LET'S CALL IN OUR
LOCAL EXPERTS

Luckily we have some mighty capable
consultants. There is Judge Vaughn
Thompson who, as juvenile court judge,
is to this county what Judge Ben Lindsey
is to Los Angeles.
E. A. Nance, county probation officer
for many years, is we'll versed in juvenile
matters and close to the local scene. And
Sheriff Robert w Ware knows children
and how to handle them.
1t might be very wise thing indeed,
if these three united with Guy A. Weak
ley, school heads of other valley towns,
E. L. Hiteman, head of the county school
system. and representatives from the
proper parent-teacher groups, to form
working group.
Such a panel would bring together
those with the most intimate knowledge
of juvenile problems, and would be IN
the best position to make recommends
tiOns for solution.
National authorities say that if the in
crease continues, this country will have
on it's hands the biggest crime problem
of all time.
We might be able to successfully avoid
such a catastrophe here.

George AIDE II? An Older generation

An author, with the spirit of youth in all

People in this country are much more
tolerant and much better sports than
they used to be, he observed on his birth
day If they are. let's give AIDE and our
other humorists some of the credit. They

AIDE, in his creative days, resembled Will

of more than 20 missions thrown
at the KasSerine gap where Allied

The Allies and the Germans still

army in it's 1942-43 winter offensive
has destroyed or captured 1000 Axis
tanks, 1000 planes, 1900 guns "and
much other armament"
Certainly the German command

though the Red army had been left
to bear the full weight of the war

front it has put out of action g.

exhausted and weakening" Stain
said in an order of the day address
ed to Russian armed forces and
people on the 25th anniversary of
the founding of the Red army.
At the same time, however, he
warned that Germany has not yet
been conquered.
From this it does not follow
that the Hitlerite army is finished
and it only remains for the Red
army to pursue it to the western
border of Soviet country" he said.
GERMAN CRISIS
The German Fascist army is go
ing through a crisis because of the
blows received from the Red army,
but this does not mean that 1t can =
not recover. The fight against the
German invaders is not yet finish

1T would be stupid to think that
the Germans will abandon without
fighting even one kilometer of our
soil. The Red army has before it
a severe fight against treacherous,
cruel and still strong enemy. This
fight will demand time. sacrifices
and endurances.

GERMANS LOSE MANY
Heavy losses have been inflicted
on the Germans, who are attempt
ing to knock out Allied positions
before the British Eighth Army,
moving up from the south, can
throw its weight against Rommels
flank. The communique said that
in the last few days of fighting "a
considerable number of enemy
tanks have been destroyed and
many others damaged"
The Eighth Army appeared to be
probing for weak points in the
German positions around the
Mareth line. There was said to
be patrol activity but the main
fighting between Gen. Sir Ber-

The corrective action must come right

Not long ago, valley juvenile author

Los Angeles had juvenile crime wave
of startling proportions. CaleXlco deVel-

The Enrol Flynn case focused eyes up
on the lurd immortality of teen age
