and girls many types of dancing
including the rumba, samba and
conga.
The facilities for teen-age re-
creation seem to be picking up in
the County-particularly in this
area.
At the same time, educational
programs for adults seem to be
on the upswing. In addition to
garden clubs, homemaker groups,
woman's club activities, the pro-
grams offered by the YWCA for
women and the county-sponsored
Adult Education program offer a
lot to further actual schooling
education, and hobby instruction.
Another thing we in Montgom-
cry County can take pride in, in
addition to our increasing teen
age activity and adult education
facilities, is the thought that is
being given to the general health
of our Sabotage children.
What brought this to mind was
the workshop held February II
at which Montgomery County
Health Department personnel,
nationall-known specialists in the
field of school health, members
of the Montgomery County PTA
Council, and parents and princi-
pals from Montgomery County
schools joined together to bring
about more effective planning in
meeting the health needs of chill
dren in Montgomery County
schools.
Mr.. Henry Redkey, chairman
of the health committee of the
PTA Council, had this to say
about the workshop: 1--WE in the
PTA are very pround of Mont
. gomery County's fine school
health program so naturally want
to do all we can to help it con-
tinue to grow and develop. We
feel most fortunate to be able to
plan a workshop of this kind. Il
DR.. Harold Mitchell, Director of
School Health for the County, in
expressing his appreciation of the
PTA in planning workshop to
help in the Health Departments
school health program, said; 1.-THE
Health Department is most aware
of the interest and support of
the Parent-Teacher Associations
in the school health program, and
is certainly grateful for its par
ticipation in the many phases of
the school health program.
Two Henderson Avenue resi-
dents are home from the hospital
and seem to be doing nicely. The
first, Mrs. May Cooley, mother of
Mrs. Robert Curtis, returned
from Washington Sanitarium
where she was taken following a
heart attack at her home. Mrs.
Cooley, who is in her latter seven
ties, has had a rather hard
winter, since she is also recover
ing from broken hip which she
suffered in November. All resi-
dents of the street are wishing
her well, and we hope to see her
outdoors this spring and sum-
mer supervising the lawn
moving, instead of actually doing
it herself as she did last year.
Nancy, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Roderick Watson, also of
Henderson Avenue, is now home
following an emergency appen-
dectomy at Children's Hospital
last week. Hope you'll be and
running around soon, Nancy!

by a snowy background darkly
shadowed by forests of fir and
by such interior items of decor
as a bedspread in sheer black
and white. The effect is to
dramatize standard tintS, flesh
and hair colorings, for example,
and generally to heighten the
realism of Director William
Wellman's production.
Unfortunately, the same de-
gree of realism is not realized in
the acting Of such normally
capable players as Teresa
Wright, Robert Mitchum, Diana
Lynn and Beulah Bondi. This
is a pretty unhappy thing in
view of the fact that TRACK OF
the Cat" is off beat melodrama
and represents an admirable try
on Warner Bros part to break
new ground.
The screenScript, from Wal
ter Van Tilburg Clark novel, is
a dour visaged narrative of
lonely family life in the west
ern Wilds.
Save that it is less macabre
In appearance-at least a little
this Bridges family might be
related to the one in Charles
Addams' New Yorker drawings.
Ma Bridges, who keeps her
withered face buried in the BIZ
BILE. and Pa who guzzles high
powered whisky all day, are the
parents Of three sons and one
daughter.
The latter is an in-grown
spinster with an emotional tilt
toward her older brother and

heads over what to do about
the family ranch. Over the lot
of them. and pretty neighbor
girl who is half disposed to
marry the younger boy, lies the
shadow of a cat which preys
upon all forms of life in the
area. including human.
It is the cat which ultimately
provides the Bridges, and the
attractive house guest. with the
solution of their eerie dilemma.
Track of the Cat" is a wintry
tale whose exterior movement
is slowed by the deep snow that
Evening star., 1954-11-26

covers its dark landscape. In
teriorally, the frigid tempera-
lures of the house and the con-
gealed natures of the Bridges
keep it from picking up pace.
Despite their best efforts, the
talented performers in TRACK
Of the Cat" are unable to involve
the spectator in the bleakness
of their lives. Their Illustrations
are of the deeply personal vari-
ETY.. even in the cast of actresses
as capable as Miss Wright and
Miss Bondi as the daughter and
mother.
The best individual perform
ance in Track of the Cat" Is
that of Mitchum. He .plays the
middle brother. the only ener-
getic figure on the lonely prem
ises, who has scorn for his
elders and contempt for the CAL
lowness of his younger brother.
His feeling for the neighbor
girl, played by Miss Lynn, adds
one of the few fillips of excite
ment to the narrative.
In addition to the piquant
novelty Of its coloring, the film
picks up considerable of visual
drama by an admirable choice
Of background on the part of
Director Wellman.

Robert B. Meyner. q country

New Jerseys SD Governor. I'm
mediately he pledged his admin
istration to a fight against crime
and public officials who "con-
nive" with the underworld.
Mr.. Meyner, first Democrat to
be the States chief executive in
10 years. said he would go to
the public for advice on impor-
tant questions Of State govern
ment.
In q prepared inaugural ad-
dress. Mr.. Meyner said his Office
would be open for suggestions
from the people. he would visit
about the State to learn local
problems, and "the public will

Report Indicates
Committees Thinking

These excerpts from the COM
mittee's report show the COM
mittee's thinking on present and
proposed relationships between
police and Juvenile Court:
"The committee is concerned
with the lack of cooperation
among the various agencies
working with delinquent chill
dren. Sharp lines are drawn at
present between the functions
of these agencies. The Juvenile
Squad. for example, directs its
activities primarily to the ap-
prehension of the wrongdoer.
The Juvenile Court then works
with the child, seemingly in a
vacuum, without the benefit Of
the background which might be
provided by the Juvenile Squad
and without consulting the Wei
fare Department as to the
facilities available for the treat
ment of the child.

mentation is harmful tos the
children concerned. wasteful OF
public funds and frustrating to

Legitimate Interest
Of Police Cited

The committee. turning to the
question Of disposition Of cases,
found that the Juvenile Squad
has Legitimate interest in the .
subsequent history Of children"
it has arrested. The report con-
tinued:
"The Juvenile Squad needs
such information for use in fur
ther crime detection. Some
times. crimes appear to be the
work of persons already known
to the police. This is often the
case. for example. with respect
| to housebreaking and safecrack-
ing.
IF a crime seems to be the
work of a child who was for
merly referred to the Juvenile
Court on similar charge, the
Juvenile Squad would like to
know where that child is. If he
has been committed to an in
stitution and is still in custody,
he can be eliminated from the
list of suspects.
"A prerequisite to knowing the
whereabouts of such child Is
to know the disposition made
following his earlier referral to
the court. Moreover, when this

needed in a hurry. Crime de-
lection is more effective as it
becomes swift.

Committee Hits Juvenile Court Information Ban

reason, one which is almost
never invoked. In all other
cases, the Juvenile Squad re-
;EeiyeS, no information"
The committee said it UNDER
stood that. the courts refusal to
make the information available
in all cases was based on law
forbidding public inspection ex-
cept by interested persons and
on the courts belief that police
might make the information
public. The report coped with
these objections as follows
.The committee appreciates
the desire Of the Juvenile Squad
to learn the disposition Of the
cases it refers to the court It
also appreciates the insistence
of the Juvenile Court that its
disposition Of children's cases
should not be made public.
'Parenthetically. 1t seems to
the committee that If there is
anything at all to the principle
that q child's record should be
kept confidential-and the COM
mittee believes there is - 1t
should be improper for the
police department to make a
public record as it now does of
the names and addresses of
children and the offenSes with
which they are charged.
Beyond that. there seems no
reason to withhold from the po-
lice the identity of the children
who are found innocent of these
charges. In any case the COM
mittee feels that the legitimate
desires of both the juvenile
Court in this area can be recon-
ciled."
The committee voiced the
opinion that police are not re-
quired to make public arrest
records Of children. 1t suggested
regulations to insure that COM
plants disclose no names of
alleged juvenile offenders and
to require that juveniles be
booked not at the precinct but
only at Juvenile Squad head
quarters.
1t proposed that the Corpora
tion Counsel be asked to deter
mine whether the Commission
ers. without a change of law,
could order that information
identifying individual children
be withheld from public inspec-
ton
The proposed order also would
specify that Juvenile Court in
formation on disposition Of in
dividual cases be kept confiden-
tial within the Juvenile Squad.
II the Corporation Counsel finds
legal objections to such an or
der, the committee recommended
that he be asked to draft legis-
lation to make it possible. The
report contained:
LAS soon as such an order has
become effective, the committee
recommends that the Juvenile
