Click Magazine
Says Negro Kids
Less Delinquent

There is less juvenile delinquen'
cy among Negroes than among
whites, despite a nationwide rise
of 81 percent in juvenile delinquen'
cy since the war began, Click Mag
azine declares in a copyrighted art
icle appearing in its April issue
out on the newsstands February
26th.
This startling reversal of the
popularly-held but erroneous the
ory that delinquency among Ne
groes is greater than among whites,
comes as part of story carried by
Click on the methods used in Hart
ford, Conn, to combat the rising
tide of waywardness among teen
age Americans.
The Click article reveals that
Hartford began preparing for
trouble with its youth in 1910, long
before Pearl Harbor. Its Council
of Social Agencies made precise
plans for the coming emergency.
and last summer engaged GRIM
inologist to study their work to
date. AS a result of this planning
and study, Hartford has discovered
a number of important facts.
These are, Click reports, chat no
single agency in itself can prevent
delinquency; that once family is
broken up a potential delin-
quency case has been created; that
punishment does not straighten out
kids; that they must be given ex-
citing substitutes for the thrills
they find in gangs and dangerous
play; that delinquency among Ne
groes does not exceed their ratio
to the population and is, in fact
less than among whites"

JUDGE CARLTON McNALLY
SPEAKS AT CIVIC MEETING
The Civic Meeting of the Sterling
Club was held Wednesday, Febru-
airy "a, at the Clubhouse. James T.
Hughes, the newly elected presi-
dent of the Sterling Club, presided.
Mr.. Hughes outlined and explained
some of the club plans for the COM
ing year and then introduced the
chairman of the Civic Committee,
Hammond Turner.
Judge Carlton F. Mentally of
District Court was introduced by
Mr.. Turner. Judge McNally spoke
on juvenile delinquency and pointed
out the necessity of home control
of the child. He stated that one of
the greatest drawbacks of the court
is the lack of home supervision of
delinquent children.
The Juvenile Court, established
here 35 years ago, has a record of
the second lowest rate of delin-
quency in the country with New
ark, New Jersey, being the first.
He stressed the need of our group
giving unlimited support to the
Halle Q. Brown Community House
and the ODER Boys Club as a curb
to child delinquency and also the
need of the church in a child's life.

Jacob Collins
Sues Tavern

Jacob R. Collins, Jr., 1851 Bryant
Ave. N, filed suit for damages late
in February against the Streamline
Tavern, 1876 West Broadway, for
refusal to serve him and two COM
panions on account of their race.
Collins and the other men went
into the establishment to cash their
pay checks. All three men were
refused service on the basis that the
tavern did not serve Negroes.
Archie J. Normandie, proprietor,
has retained Samuel Bellman, for
mer legislator, as his attorney.
In Minnesota it is against the
state law to refuse service in a cafe
or tavern to persons on account of
race or color.

Only Press That
Hos

The Negro Press has to its
everlasting credit the fact that it
is the only press that has stood
consistently for law and order,
equality of all citizens, enforce
ment of the constitution and the
working of democracy for all
Americans. It has never changed
and will not today let up in its
fight for equality of protection
and opportunity until these
come. No agency nor group
not even the Christian church,
has equalled the fight waged by
the Negro press against lynch
ing, Jim crow, Acknowledgement

Negroes Refuse
To Support Red
Cross Campaign

New York, March 3.-The Ma
tional Red Cross drive for funds
has not received the great support
it received as in the past by the
Negroes from Harlem. Reasons
offered by Negro leaders is the
Red Cross practice of separating
Negro and white blood in the blood
plasma banks. They claim this
practice has caused passive resist
ance to any Red Cross program.
Leaders here also pointed out
that the Red Cross national board
does not have a single Negro on it.
