Juvenile Judge Evan Cross.
ley. who feels jail has proven
to be Of no practical value in
rehabilitating or lettering juve-
nile delinquents, has a double
edged plan to combat it.
First, he's going to ask the
Legislature to change Maryland's

And second. in the meantime
he's going to place on the shoul-

Legal Snag Seen.
Judge Crossley recently wrote
Attorney General Edward D. E.
Rollins asking if he could SEN
tence juvenile offenders to do
some chores for the county
trash-collecting. for example.
Mr.. Rollins replied that under
Maryland law the plan was Of
doubtful validity" He said the
law states that a person under

found guilty Of a crime.
And under the 18th amend.

stttution, Mr.. Rollins added, no
person can be forced into sla-
very or involuntary servitude UNI
less convicted Of a crime.
Seeks Voluntary Service.
Until the Legislature can
change the law-if it will
Judge Crossley plans to sidestep
the legal barrier by making the
servitude voluntary. That's
where the youngster and his
parents figure in making out
work programs themselves.
The work might involve chores
In the youngsters own home, the
Judge said-such as repairing
the front porch. gardening, or
Whitewashing the cellar walls.
Outside Jobs Possible.
Or it might go outside the
home, he added. If teen-ager
steels from a grocery store, he
might agree to pay back his
theft through delivery work for
the grocer.
The man new feature in Judge
CrOssley's program is the re.
qutrement that the suggestions
must come from the defendants
and their families. ..
The Hagerstown Judge already
has made news by coming up
with some novel ways of making
youngsters return to the straight
and narrow.
For example, he made ono
group Of teen-age boys arrested
for petty thefts apologize to each
merchant they victimized. They
had to return written evidence Of
the apologies.
Clean Pigeon CoOps.
Some other, teen-agers stole
pigeons. Their penalty: Cleaning
out the victims pigeon coops.
It was rising unemployment
which started to give Judge
Crossley legal headaches.
In most cases. it was his prac-
tice to make sure the youngsters
got part-tirne jobs to earn the
money necessary to pay back
their victims.
But when jobs became scarce.
Judge Crossley seized upon the
idea that. the offenders could do
some chores for the county-per.
haps trash-co collecting.
And with this in mind, he
wrote asking for Mr.. Rollins's
opinion.
In his letter he stated jail has
proven to be Of no practical
value" in rehabilitating or deter
ring juvenile delinquents.

MANISCHEWITZ MUSHROOM

GETS MEALS OFF TO
QUICK, SMOOTH START

Like a well-written first act of

at mealtime sets the mood for

menu - and one of the smoothest,
most satisfying starts to any meal
is that good old-time favorite-
Manischew;tz Mushroom and
Barley Soup.
Made with delicately tender,
choice mushrooms and firm,
flavorful big-grained barley, as
well as baby lima beans, carrots,
celery and variety of other vege-
tables, Manischewitz Mushroom
and Barley Soup has all the thick,
rich hearty quality of home-cook-
ed soup at its best. And essential
ly, it is homemade soup, pre-
pared in small patches to an ex-
elusive home-kitchen recipe.
The result is savory, stick-to-
the ribs soup with enough sound
nourishing quality, enough solid
good eating to make it a meal in
itself. And since Manischewitz
Mushroom and Barley Soup is
pareve, it makes the perfect pre-
Jude to any meal, meat or dairy,
that you may have planned for
your family.
