LANSING, March 29-Now that

curbing juvenile delinquency, Gov
Kelly's youth guidance committee
today set out 10 put them into
operation.
The first step taken was APP
pointment of a seven-man sub
committee 10 formulate a state
program and the second was the
scheduling Of a series Of county
meetings to explain operation Of
the new legislation.
Both plans we're approved yes

highlighted by Gov. Kelly's per-
Sonal admonition that Venile
delinquency was still major

The governor said he still felt
that home responsibility was a
vital factor in curbing delinquency
and asked the committee 10 fur

What was previously hailed as a
great forward step IN the de-

The visiting teachers program,

on her first disappearance from

"She was a lovely child. but

proud she was one day when
she brought me some cookies
she had made. They were fine

The Raulstons came TO Detroit

COULDN'T STAY HOME

But she couldn't stay at home.
She didn't want 10 go 10 school.
School officials said Joyce was
of average intelligence, but that
she didn't think along established
lines.
Joyce would buy cigarets by the
carton. one Of her Schoolmates
said. and then sell them TO the
more timid pupils.
Last Feb. 2S she transferred 80

The mother wept again a
little:
Joyce rarely went out with

we did not allow her to have
dates. She was too young.
How could anybody do such
a terrible thing to her? If only

Incalculable advantages accrue to

Among the treasures of the Volta

Wartime frugality
does not mean bad
manners! Listen...

TINE circumstance which makes
it necessary for me to write
this article is recent food of bad
advice to the effect that back-to-
the-jungle table manners are food
saving - and therefore permissi-
BILE. Worst of all, this advice has
been presented in print and on the
air as coming from me. Bone
gnawing is an example. Approval
of this is the exact reverse of what
l wrote in this column many
months ago.
On the other hand, other details
of table manners which have been
considered correct for generations
are now presented as brand new
wartime innovations of mine.
Among these are the tipping of
soup plate and the eating of the
last morsel on your plate.
First let me dispose of the
bone-gnawing odense. Biting
the meat of bones is food
wasting, in my opinion - not
food saving. Let the carver cut
the meat close to the bone, serve
only the meat, and leave the bones
on the platter. Then the bones can
be broken up later to release the
marrow, and can be put in the
soup pot Thus no food is wasted
