SURVEY HITS
 PET THE0R RES ON DELINQUENCY
BY HAROLD ANDERSON United Press Staff Correspondent

Red Wing, Minn.. June 18- (UP)- You can make soW's ear out of a silk purse, regardless of whether the reverse is true. C.. J. Jackson, superintendent, implied in a statis- tical report on the personnel at the Minnesota State Training School for Boys.
 The report threw several estab- lished social theories for a loss.
 For instance, the one about most wayward boys coming from broken families. Jackson said there were 279 boys living at. his institution. Parents of 157 of them are living together. In 139 of those 157 cases both parents are rated good" on the youths enrolment cards.
 P. c. From Divorced Couples
 Although the divorce rate in Minnesota is IS per cent of all marriages, only 8.9 per cent of Jackson's boys are sons of divorced couples. Twenty-Five of them are in this category.
 The superintendent figures also ran contrary to the popular notion that the offspring of foreign born people contribute in large measure to juvenile delinquency problems. Only Is of the state training school inmates are from families in which both father and mother were im- migrants.
 In B cases one of the parents was 6 native of some other land. Information was lacking in this respect in four cases, but 227 of the boys are sons of American-born couples,
 152 From Ideal Homes
 Supposedly ideal for family rear ing b the situation in which the father is employed and the mother stays at home tending the house and training the children. Jcak- son said however, that 152 of the schools inmates have such back gfound r& 1f@
 Both parents of 51 of the boys are employed, while g represent homes in which widowed mothers work
 One hundred fifty are sons of temperate parents, and in just four cases are both parents intemperate.
 Jackson reported that crimes in- velving property thefts and re- lated acts-resulted in the sen tencing of most of the reform school inmates. Generally speaking, he said their wrongdoing did not result from poverty.

PROCLAMATION

Whereas, food demands still
exceed food supplies, even after
the defeat Of Germany. snd such
demands, both military and CT
villain, will continue great until
the final defeat of japan is &C.
complished; and,
Whereas, the threat of higher
! food prices grows stronger as the
war proceeds. and may remain a
constant threat until long after
Peace returns to both Hemis-
:pheres; and,
Whereas, it is known that the
most serious Initiation of the World
War period followed the sign
ing of that Armistice; and,
Whereas, outlay5 for food rep
resent roughly 40 per cent of the
average family's cost-of-living
budget; and,
Whereas, the food price line
has been held to date largely
through widespread understand
ing of these facts. and the excel
lent cooperation here in this CON-
munity and everywhere. between
the leaders in the food industry
producers. distributors and re.
railers alike-and the consuming
public;
Now, therefore, in recognition
of the outstanding service to the
Nation at War rendered by the
Food Trade generally and our
own local food merchants partic-
ularly, and to impress upon them
and their customers the full real
ization that the battle against in
flation has not yet been won, and
there is vital need for further
understanding and cooperation
to achieve our detectives.
