Juvenile Council Discusses
Effects OF Home On Youth
School Behavior
Often Caused By
Embellishments At
Home, March Says

The fact that many school pro.
blems of behavior arise from emo.
tional disturbances at home
brought about by parents, was
stressed at meeting of the Mon.
roe County Juvenile Council last
night at the Clinic building.
President Leland March and
Miss Eliza Fiks, State Board Of
Welfare social worker led the
discussion on youth emotional
problems following the showing
Of the 20 minute mental health
film Angry Boys"
The film, made and released BY
the Michigan State Board of Pub
lie Health, tells the story of a boy
who steals at school because OF
his maladjuSted home life.
The Michigan Board not only
produces such mental health films,
but also had a wide network OF
guidance clinics in its state with
teams of psychiatrists, psychia.
trio social workers and other staff
members, March said. He pointed
to the need for such facilities In
Florida.
Miss Fike pointed up the film
by leading the discussion of mem.
bers after its showing.
Mrs. Grace Crosby said that she
felt there was a need for more
religious training in the schools to
help resolve their emotional dis
turbances.
March, said:
"AlihoOgh our school system
doss not provide religious train.

Rabbi Abraham Schwartz gave

Magistrate Bushel, dismissing
the case, said:
Patrons of a restaurant, bar
or grill not infrequently, by toss
ing or matching coins, or
through some similar means of
invoking the laws of chance,
will determine who shall pick up
the check or pay for the drinks.
Customers used buck dice

| Throngs Cheer Nixon
lin Iran as Streets
Are Closely Guarded
BY the Assoeia,ed Press

TEHERAN. Iran, Dec. TO-
Vice President Nixon, on a
three-day fact-f1nding visit to
Iran. continued talks today with
the country's political. labor and
agricultural leaders and United
States embassy officials. He is
to be guest Of honor at a re-
ception and state dinner tonight
given by Shah Mohammed Reza
Pahlevi.
Thousands Of 1ranians gave
Mr.. Nixon what American Of
ficials described as an unusually
warm reception upon his arrival
yesterday from Pakistan. Ex-
pected Communist demonstra-
tionS did not materialize.
Premier Fazollah Zahedi's gov
ernment took extraordinary pre-
cautions to prevent trouble,
lining miles of streets with
soldiers and police stationed 100
feet apart.
The rich and poor lined the
capitals streets behind the
guards to applaud the official
motor cavalcade. An American
familiar with Iran said "there
was friendship in the faces" of
the crowds, and many waited
hours in the cold.
Mr.. Nixon conferred at length
yesterday with the Shah and
Prime Minister.
While the crowds applauded
the local officials and their
American guest, the court-mar-
tial of former Premier Moham-
med MOssadegh, who is on trial
for treason, ground on. Visiting
American correspondents who
attended the session briefly saw
Mossadegh help conduct his de-
fense. His manner was quiet
and rational. There was no sign
of the Mysteries he had dis
played earlier.
