PARENTS OF YOUNG GIRLS ARE WARNED
 BY CITY OFFICIALS

The following statement was is sued today by city officials in re- gard to a growing tendency toward delinquency among minors in the town of Wrangell. and parents and guardians are requested to give Il serious consideration:
 Several cases during the past two weeks have been brought 10 the attention of the U. s. marshal's office and the city police, involv- ing minor girls. One case is quite serious, and we have found upon investigation that the basic fault lies with the parents or guardians.
 Young girls are allowed to at tend dances, sometimes with con siderable drinking going on, and hours are kept which are too late for unchaperoned young girls.
 We ask the cooperation of par ents and guardians in seeing that the young people return home at q reasonable hour and that they are better chaperoned. It has been the policy of the local police not 10 make public eases of this kind, be- cause of the stigma attaching to the parties concerned, and for this reason this appeal to the parents is made for their cooperation in the matter"
