Middle Course
Justice Asked

Juveniles under 10 years of age
who commit repeated serious
crimes should be dealt with &C
cordingly. Police Chief Robert ".
Murray told the Mount Pleasant
Citizens Association last night.
Telling the citizens the Police
Department is just as anxious
as ever to work with juveniles to
prevent delinquency, Chief Muir
ray said there must be a sane
middle ground between overly
harsh and coddling treatment of
the problem.
Not All Bad
He assured the group that,
although the problem of teen
age delinquency and gangs was
serious, the picture is not all
bad. Delinquency exists in less
than 3 per cent of the juvenile
population, he said.

civics class at Taft Junior High
School Joined the citizens group
to hear Chief Murray and Com
missioner David B. Karrick. who
spoke on some of the Districts

assessment program.
