Weather Secrets

HURRICANE CAROL, which recently

Old North Church in Boston, in addition to
sweeping away hundreds Of homes along
the coast in that area, is still something Of
a mystery. Weather experts went to work
on causes and reasons for the storms sud
den change in course Immediately after it
struck in the East
But it is readily admitted that even the
nations top weather experts do not UNI
derstand why hurricanes follow the vari-
Gus courses they unexpectedly take In
spite Of the generally accepted belief that
man knows most of what there is to know
about the weather, weather bureau officials
in the New York area recently admitted
there are too many unknoWns in the hurri-
cane picture for them to accurately predict
the path Of hurricanes as yet.
Each storm brings with it new clues,
and provides a new source of material for
weather experts to study, and the experts
have been budding on the cause of the re

ricane. The most generally accepted theory,

Juvenile Delinquency Solved in Britain

According to a recent UP dis patch, Juvenile delinquency in Great Britian last year dropped by IA percent
 There were 45,O7S arrests of children under IT in 1852. In 1853 the figures dropped to 3S,690. In London itself the arrests dropped from 10,2S7 to 9,002.
 Only one crime in 20 involved violence.
 Four probation homes and two juvenile courts have been closed for lack of offenders.
 Here is how Britian went about it:
 Home secretary David Maxwell Fyfe, Britian's top law enforce ment officer, has this maxim: Children are not naturally good citizens"
 With that theory as a basis. police, magistrates, probation and welfare groups went to work.
 1. In the tough sea port of Liv- erpool, more than 500 youth clubs have been started in the past five years. 3. In Wigan. Lancashire, parents of young offenders must appear in court with their children. In many cases they are fined sev- erely.
 8. On the Isle of Man, juvenile delinquents are flogged. Whipping was abolished in 1946, brought back in 1852. The child crime rate has plummetted.
 f. In the schools teachers are given complete latitude to dole out corporal punishment Whip. ping is commonplace. Discipline is excellent.
 5. Movies are graded and child ren are strictly barred from those made for adults. Television is rigidly supervised and the child rens programs rarely carry any thing more gory than western movie. Horror comic books can be obtained only at American mil itary posts.
 6. British parents are very strict with their chilren.
 2. Children are subject to the same criminal laws as adults. They are tried in special juven- ile courts, but if the magistrate decides they are hopeless cases, they can be sent to jail for long terms.
