other years, there have been SO
juvenile cases in this county thus
far this year. Records prove that
one of the principal causes of ju-
venile delinquency is the working
mother, who fails in her respon-
sibility to mold her child's char
acter by being absent when he
needs her most. Jim reports that
there has been a huge increase in
girls hailed before Judge Gulau,
Probate Judge, and in some in
stances, the girls have been eager
to be sent to institutions "to go
anywhere to get away from their
parents" Ellenberger warns par
ents to be careful when one
parent reprimands a child that
the other does not "baby" the
child and thus cause diSsension Or
weaken the punishment He advises
mothers to uphold their husbands
when dad gives junior his just
deserves. Parents who permit their
children to drive autos when they
are too young also get a tongue
lashing from jim. He warns that
anyone who permits juvenile to
operate a car is responsible for
any personal or property damage
that youngster might cause and
it can run into thousands of dol
lars. Ellenberger has been making
many speeches about the county
this year, and he's doing marve-
louS job. While he knows the cau-
ses, neither Ellenburg or anyone
else seems to know the remedy.
Experts predict juvenile delin-
quency will increase and hit its
peak in 1860. Spare the rod and
spoil the child the child" helps in
some cases but many of today's
youngsters seem unafraid of such
punishment.

exhausted bunny from deep water
while he and three companions
were fishing. After he took the
rabbit to his house trailer near
Oak Harbor, the nautical bunny
quickly recovered from his attempt
to reach Canada and took off a.
gain for parts unknown. How the
rabbit, not known as swimmers,
ever got so far out in the lake is
mystery. McKinnis theorized it
had either been frightened into
the lake by natural enemy or had
dropped in flight after being
caught by a predatory bird. Well
theorize, too, and say that the ra-
bbit was just too darn hot and
took swim to cool off
