Freeman was the first of 80
aldermen who will be called upon
to state their views on the ques-
ton.
In the Republican alderman's
opinion, the city is not in a posi-
ton to purchase the properties of
the Morgan controlled Common
wealth Edison Co. because of its
recent action in buying the street
car and elevated lines.
MRS. Ruth Miller, chairman of
the Pea group, pointed out the
savings which would accrue to
consumers and business men I'M
der public ownership.
Light bills would drop by at
least 80 per cent, she said.
According to Mrs. Miller, Free
man agreed that Commonwealth
Edison should only receive short
term franchise, containing a pro-
vision WHICH would allow the city
to buy the power system.
THE company's franchise ex-
pired Sept. II. The City Council
utilities committee is considering
whether to buy the properties or
grant a new franchise.
Pea, the Public Ownership
League of America, and other or
CARNATIONS have urged the COM
mittee to recommend public own

to stop juvenile delinquency.
The dark-haired youth paused,
his voice choked> with nervousness
and embarrassment.
The 500 or more working moth
ers and fathers and their kids
turned in their seats to get a bet
ter look at this courageous young
man. Tragedy had struck in their
community as a result of juvenile
delinquency. And seven-year-old
Lonnie Fellick had been killed.
THEY had come, on Tuesday
evening, from all sections of the
Northwest Side community to the
DR.. Herzl Community Home, 1885
N. California av., to find out the
answer. What is juvenile delin-
quency? How can it be stopped?
Were they good parents? This
young man could tell them.
1t happened this way, he said.
my nom worked in a candy store
and my dad in felt mill. :. I was
left alone :"
He told how much he had want
ed pair of roller skates like
the other kids" He was saving
up the money to buy them, when
he figured out, "by the time 1
could have saved the money for
roller skates I would have been
too old to use them"
HE didn't have the things kid
needs a play with. and he be-
came. a juvenile delinquent.
The young man outlined the
communitY's needs: the city
should open school gYnnasiums
after school hours; should open
teen-age canteens in the schools
to combat the movies night
club glamor": should stock the
schools with roller skates and
ice skates and baseball bats:
should open more Fairgrounds
and parks. rs
These were practical answers to
juvenile delinquency. The people
of the community could sink their
teeth into them, do something
about them. The fact that they
working mothers and fathers, tired
after the days work-had come to
the meeting was proof of the COM
munity determination to do some
thing.
THE "town meeting" sponsored
by the Four Freedoms Chapter of
the American Veterans Commit
tee, is the first of a series that
will be held to root out and solve
the problems of the community.
Preceding the discussion period,
during which the young man had
told of his "career as a juvenile
delinquent" Anthony Sorrentino,
sociologist of the Institute for Ju-
venile Research; Judge Joseph
Drucker, presiding judge of Boys
Court; Aid. Thomas E. Keane
(31sb; and Russell Ballard, head
resident of Hull House, spoke
on delinquency.
STRESSING his point that ga

needs. Children are the prod
ucts of our neighborhood."
He explained that the lowest
delinquency rate is to be found
in neighborhoods "of the highest
economic status Low wages
breed delinquency.
Aid. Keane gave the usual pat
answers of the politician to prac-
teal suggestions on community
improvement:
The city is powerless to open
schools after school hours, set up
nurseries for working mothers,
supply teen-age canteens and rec
reational facilities, open play
grounds-because "the city is a
child of the state government and
exercises only such powers as the
state delegates to its child" There
are no funds because the "city can
appropriate only such funds as the
state would permit"
=
BUT the people of the commu-
nifty know better. Laws are made
by the peoples representatives,
and an aroused citizenry can
change laws.
Significantly, at the meeting it
was announced that a broad COM
munity committee, made up of
more than 200 organizations with
in the Northwest Side community,
has been set up. Headed temper
arily by Sam Freifeld, community
insurance agent, the committee
will work to end juvenile deiin-
quency by improving the commu-
nifty.
