Supervision Of youngsters or case
treatment is not accomplished by
a single act or event. It is a pro-
cess in which the child is helped
to develop greater capacity for SELF
direction in a socially acceptable
way.
To accomplish this and to re.
direct and educate an individual
with anti-social habits are time
consuming, complex matters in
volving variety Of activities and
services.
In some cases, the emphasis Is
on personal factors and in others

Police Services

Police Services
The City Police Department does
not have police officers especially
detailed as juvenile officers.
Most police departments recog-
nize that police services to iuvenil.
es Is just as specialized a function
as traffic control, crime detection,
etc, and specialized law enforce.
ment personnel should be provid.
ed to investigate complaints involv-
ing children, to protect children
from harmful influences by close
supervision Of places of CONNER
|cialized amusement, and to refer
cases to the court or other appro.
pirate agencies.
Of course, police work and pro.
baton work are not the same, and
police should not attempt to pro.
wide treatment for children and
probation officers should not be re.
CURED to investigate complaints
and become involved in police
work.
A written policy should be deve.
loped between the law enforcement
agencies and the juvenile court
which would define the function o.
each with respect to children, in,
|cluding the circumstances under
which children are to be detained
This policy should encourage the
law enforcement officer to return
children to their own homes when
ever possible.
The Key West police department
should have at least two police of
|ficers in their juvenile division res
ponsible directly to the chief.
In fact, the recommendation O
the u. S. Children's Bureau con
Cured in by the international Asso
citation Of Chiefs of Police is tina
five per cent Of any police depart
ment should be detailed as juvenile
officers.
At the present time, apparently,
police do not exercise sufficient dis.
erection In returning children to
their homes, but rather turn them
over to the court as a routine.
The probation counsellor inves
tigates the details of the offenss

/ Pays To ADVERTISE In The

Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1954-11-12

There's a service station some
where ahead. Get blades there. A
truckers stop, with coffee and
food. Could use a cup or two of
coffee. How many miles ?
Coming again! Inose blurs of
maddening light. Ridges of water
streaking beneath his wiper
blades grab that light. Twist it to
fiery rainbows. He hugs what he
hopes is his side of the road. The
heavy truck roars past. His car
Shivers. Safe! Dear God! He miss
ed that one! How long will it rain?
He tmnS on the radio.
The rain slows to a drizzle. But
the streaks are still there. Rain
stops briefly. A snorting truck
losses a torrent of binding road
muck against his windshield. The
muck streakS worse! He clutches
the wheel. Stares wildly at weird
patterns writhing on the glass.
Looks like he's trapped. Trapped
by his weather-beaten wip e r
blades.
More rain! Hard rain. More
lights looming ahead! He braces
himself. Dead blades! Streakers!
Treacherous things. Very next
chance he'll change them. Can't
risk the wife and kids getting
caught in spots like this. Wonder
ful pals, that family of his.
Twin balls of fire Zoom closer.
If only he could see! Pinwheels of
blazing light tear at his tortured
eyes. Blind him completely. He
grips the wheel in panic. Sweat
streams down his face. He screams
a prayer as his car bounces off the
mammoth truck and rolls.
Funny thing" said the cop to
the ambulance man. when l
first got to the car l thought he
was talkin'. But it was the crazy
car radio. Still runnin'. Our high
way safety chief broadcastin' -
tellin' as how wiper blades don't
really wear out. Warnin' they all
just sort of dry up. Look OK. But
lose their bounce. Then start

Death Traps A
Gambler You !?

This dramatic, thought-provok-
ing story could concern you. 1t is
being distributed by the Ohio De-
partment of Highway Safety and
the Ohio State Highway Patrol in
cooperation with the National
Safety Council.
Night rain! Cruel rain! Clawing
at the windshield Streaking like
crazy under the rhythmic swish
swish of dead wiper blades.
Country needs rain? Sure! But not
like this.
Homebound - alone - half
blinded the driver slows to
twenty. Then fifteen. Headlights
glare pounds at his tired eyes, If
only he could see for sure little
of the road. If only those were live,
new wiper blades! His wife had
urged him yesterday - again -
to have a pair slipped on. Takes
almost no time at all. But he for
got.
Rain drumming, drumming, on
the roof of the car. Even side win
dows drenched blind. His car
swerves sharply to a gust of wind.
That does it! He'll pull of the
road until the rain stops! But he
can't see a spot. Headlights close
behind him. A horn blasting. The
threat of being crushed from the
rear frightens him.
Why hasn't mis- serviceman Sug-
gested new blades? He sees him
often. Blades don't cost too much.
Let's see. Maybe a couple of bucks
a pair. Could be more for curved
Windshields. He'd give twice that
now yes, or three times or
anything.
Now he knows! He has gambled
his life against a mere two or three
bucks. Seems stupid! Neighbor
Jones, he remembers, carries in
his car a spare pair of blades to
slip on first time the old ones
start streaking. Kinda smart

Teen TALK

This is the season for legs in the
teen-age world.
Fashions are built to show the
knees. And the sub-deb set adores
the chance. But styles are ladylike.
kits are big news, worn with or
without the traditional safety pin.
Bermuda skirts about the same
length as the shorts are other pop
ular items. The skirts are fire.

Knockabout loafersi are high on
the list for casual shoes, tall girls
preferring ballet shoes for little
and big dates. Little girls prefer
high heels for their big dates.
String ties with matching belts
sometimes also with matching

And a steady beau emphasizes his
role by wearing a matching four

Big cuff links (the bigger the

costs and voluntary health inSur-
ance is the Health Information
Foundation, a public service organ
ization backed by 165 drug phar-
maceutical, chemical and allied
companies, working under a Citi-
zens Advisory Committee whose
Chairman is former President
Herbert Hoover. The Foundation,
in consultation with representative
of Blue Cross, Blue Shield and
other private insurance plans, Soc
ial scientists, public health Off
cials and physicians, is changing
our national health picture.
The segment of the population
interviewed by researchers was
selected on a scientific sampling
basis. 1t included all ages and in
come groups, both large and small
families, workers in all occupa-
tions and both farm and city
dwellers in all regions of the
country.
Clearly we want good medical
service and are trying to prepare
to pay for it Currently 500 of
the population is meeting at least
part of the costs of having volun-
tary health insurance. It is evil
dent, however, that sooner or
later all of us must be prepared
TO pay for medical care. At some
time anyone of us may be faced
by extraordinarily heavy costs.
Only 9 families out of every 100
incurred no cost for illness dur
ing the year studied, but one fam
lily out of every 100 incurred costs
in excess of 1895. Average costs
for all principal health services
was approximately $207 per fam
lily.
Future of Health Insurance
While health insurance has so
far been limited to helping peo-
pie meet hospital and surgical
costs, it is now expanding to help
people meet other medical costs.
About five million of us - less
than 4%6 - have insurance which
provides substantially complete
medical service.
Thus, while the problem of pay
ing for family medical costs is on
its way to a solution, the present
situation could stand considerable
improvement and more facts are
needed before the average family
head can know how to proceed
Health Information Foundation
has a number of other surveys
underway which will throw light
on the problem areas where more
information will lead to better
protection.
One fact, however, stands out
clearly. AS a nation we are now
pretty we'll committed to the idea
of voluntary health insurance. We
have long ceased to argue about
whether we want it or not. What
we want to know now is how to
spend our insurance dollar so that
we can get the best health care
for ourselves and our families, and
how those who do not yet have
insurance can be brought into the
movement to broaden our risks
and tighten our tax burden.
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1954-11-12

says these shirts do not have "a
real boyish look on the girls but
take on a masculine air when worn
by the boys.
New hats worn for football dates
include a fad-a little hand-cro-
cheted wool skull cap with two
long braids growing from each
side of the hat, complete with
perky bows at the ends. These are
available in school colorS and
those that match treSses.
White blazers are worn with
Bermuda skirts and kits. Char
coal is top color in solids. Tweed
jumpers cut high enough so the
jumper may be worn without a
blouse for dates also is stylish.

What happens in your house
when someone gets sick, bears a
baby, has a set of tonsils removed
or breaks a leg and you think
about the medical costs involved /?
Do you say, Don't worry, we're
insured!" and go off more or less
cheerfully off to the hospital? If
so, you are one of the 81 million
people-57P6 of the us. popula-
tion-who are enrolled today in
hospital insurance plans. If you
aren't worried about the doctor S
bill either, chances are you're also
one of "a million people who now
carry insurance against surgical
or medical costs.
The idea that medical emergen~
cy need not mean financial diSas-
ter is comparatively new. Volun-
tary health insurance plans began
to interest the nation in the early
thirties, expanded steadily up to
1889 when five and a half million
of US were included. In the next
fifteen years membership zoomed
dizzily, doubling and re-doubling
as the idea of voluntary health in
Surance caught on all over the
u. S.

Need for Accurate Figures

Need for Accurate Figures
Meanwhile, however, &he ma
tion's economic picture changed
and information about how much
we actually spent for medical care
was hard to find. The last accur-
ate figures were based on survey
dating back to 1892. A few months
ago a nationwide survey conduct
ed by the University of ChIcago's
National Opinion Research Center
brought to light the first reliable,
nationwide statistics on the cur
rent cost of medical care in the
US. Chief among their findings
was this impressive total: $780,
900 persons now carry some kind
of health insurance-nearly 500
of the total US. population!
There is no doubt about it, the
preservation of our good health
has become one of our chief ma
tionaI interests. Today most of us
are no more willing to risk an
illness without a doctor than we
are willing to risk a fire without
a fireman.
