Local Bodies To Chart
Programs
Governor O'Conor announced the
appointment of a Statewide Com
mission on Youth Services. The
Commission will consider various
questions relating to child care
and public service involving
youths, and will also work with
County and municipal govern
ments in the development of a
general program of supervised re-
creation.
Because it is intended that the
State body make full use of exist
ing agencies, State and local, in
the formulation of its plans, Gov
ernor O'Conor noted, he had select
ed officials of State agencies now
functioning in the juvenilee field
in making up the Commission.
As outlined by the Governor, the
major purposes of the Commission
would be to act as a coordinating
body for the activities of State
agencies working in the field of
delinquency; to help various COM
munities, municipalities, etc. to
develop programs that would make
use of the various civic and other
groups in their own areas. Also it
is intended that the group supply
whatever inspiration and stimulus
that might be needed to the COM
munities, schools, law enforce
ment agencies, etc. With such help,
the Governor believes, a broad
termed program of activities might
be possible sufficient to care for
all the children who need it, while
at the same time helping to locate
the children and bring them with.
in the scope of the community OF
county activities.
The communities and municipal
lities themselves would be expect
ed to be the center of any activity
in this direction, Governor O'Conor
inasmuch as it would
be necessary to depend upon the
local governments for active CO.
operation. Likewise, experience
has shown, Governor O'Conor
pointed out, that because of the
diverse and sometimes peculiar
needs of certain communities, fos-
tering of the proper program is
best left in the hands of citizens
of that immediate area who know
and understand the local problems.
The membership of the Commits
sion is as follows:
Director of State Department of
Public Welfare, ]. Milton Patter-
son.

Roosevelt sons had at one time
considered becoming a conscientious
