, dren after they have gotten into
trouble is more costly. more diff
cult and often too late
From the foregoing Mrs.
Hishsmith writes. this fact stands
out: That the community is respon-
! sible for its juvenile delinquency
and that it's citizens must take the
initiative in securing for all its
children those services that will
safeguard them physically, mental
lily and socially. Fortunately for
North Carolina, a survey OF youth
serving community resources was
mode last year under the direction
OF the Youth Conservation Commit
tee of the State Federation of
Women's clubs. The survey en-
braced 1875 cities, twons and com
munities and As counties. Many re-
vealing facts were found. 1t is
timely that they again be called
to the attention of the public.
Zone was that only rs of the As
counties surveyed reported school
attendance laws were enforced. In
10 counties school gymna Sums and
auditoriums are still not available
for community use after schooi
hours. A surprise finding was that
in II of the As counties churches
were not considered to be vital fac
tors in helping to meet the needs
of young people, and that few pro-
vlded social activities. Relatively
few of the counties reported hav-
ing vocational and personal coun-
selling for young people Or arts
and crafts departments in the hign
schools.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
"Only q Of the As counties re-
ported physical education taught
by trained teachers, and there was
revealed a great need for physical
examinations of high school stu
dents which is not being met. While
about half of the counties reported
dental examinations in the schools.
these are known to be primarily
for elementary school children
rather than for high school chill
dren where the need is also great.
Relatively few of the counties re-
ported school nurses and free
health clinics.

less than one third of the counties
reported having such councils. and
although it is against the law, 20
counties reported that children are
still placed in Jail in their com

i'd that they had u%p-to-oate deten-

In listing the most outstanding
youth needs of the community, rec
restion facilities, particularly
trained personnel and more effec-

has come an appeal addressed to
this writer in behalf of the work
she is directing. Mrs. Highsmith
says:
will you please help me through
your Sunday column to get an i'm
portant message to the clubwomen
of the state and to all who read
your column? 1t is an important
message because it concerns the
yough of the state. It calls for ac-
ton on the part of every alert citl-
zen to head off delinquency now
rather than wait and have to deaI
with it later. Courts. refo1metories
and prisons are not the answer tc
the problem. President Truman mas
requested that serious considera.
ton be given the problem of pre-
venting and controlling juvenile ae-
linquency, SO great a national prob.
lem has it become. Concerning this
he has said:
We r agreed, l know, thai
the time for discussion has passed
and the time for action mas come.
The Federal Government has I'm,
portant responsibilities in this field,
however, there is no roots of the
whatsoever that the roots of the
problem lie in the homes, the
schools, and the churches of our
nation. If results are to be achiev-
ed, it must be through the citizen
and community, with state and To-
cal officials also having . vital

become delinquent before mobili

Editorial Writer'S Study
Defense ? Problems
Al Pentagon Session

The National Conference of Edi-
torial Writers closes its three-day
meeting in Washington today with
a discussion of national defense
problems with Army, Navy and Air
Force representatives, election OF
officers and business session.
Members of the newly formed
group of writer's went to the Penta-
gon this morning for their off the
record conference with defense off,
cials.
This afternoon at the Hotel Stat
Ter they will act on an organization
plan, elect officers and choose a city
for their conference next year. The
final event will be a reception given
by The Star and the Washington
Post at the StatieI.
In a discussion of municipal edi.
torial campaigns yesterday Robert
Lasch, chief editorial writer of the
Chicago Sun, cautioned against edi.
/ tors accepting an active role inside
political organizations which they
support editorially.
Mr.. LaSch was one of three who
discussed campaigns against politica
machines and on behalf of civic i'm
provements. The others were John
H. Crider, editor in chief of the
Boston Herald, and Richard B
Fowler, editorial writer of the Kan.
sas City Star.
Mr. Lasch said political leaders
whom a newspaper supports edi-
torially often seek to draw the
editors into a working relationship
by asking for advice and Offering
assistance. He asserted that a
newspaper which Identifies itself
intimately with a political organi-
zation loses its independence and is
