layers of pomace and burlap.
The old cider mill at the foot
of the hill was a popular spot.
The man who made the cider,
either for cash or on shares,
was tolerant of 12-year olders
who came in with long Oat
straws. The capacity of a IL
year older's stomach is the
eighth wonder of the world, and
the old miller never ceased to
marvel at the amount a lad
could consume.
Farmers disagree as to whic
apple variety makes the best eide
Some want cider with a defnit
tang; some prefer bland, swe'
flavor. Grandfather said, "The be-
cider is half Baldwin, one fourt
Russet and one fourth Snow apple

Should Delinquents

Most young people-from 30 to
81 per cent of those interviewed
would mete out indeterminate jail
sentences for offenses like smoking
marijuana. using narcotics. street
fighting, driving stolen car. van-
dalism.
Adults are afraid to punish de-
linquents because of their youth,
youngsters say. and lawbreakers
take advantage of their reluctance.

By EUGENE GILBERT
Gilbert Youth Research Co.

Should the names Of young law
breakers be published in news
papers?
FBI Director j. Edgar Hoover
last week urged this as means
of curbing juvenile delinquency.
pointing out that more than half
of last years record-breaking total
of 25 million major crimes were
committed by persons under 81.
He explained that he would APP
ply the publicity standard to ju-
veniles who commit major crimes.
not misdemeanors.
What do teen-agers themselves
feel about puhlicizing delinquents?
This Is one issue on which they
are split almost down the middle.
While they agree generally on
o get tough" policy for handling
young criminals. a large number
feel that notoriety merely gives
them a feeling of Importance.
They get their charge from the
publicity" argues Rory. a Long
Beach (CalifD teen. "One good
way to cut down on juvenile crime
would be to let the press ignore all
teen-age hoods. Let the judge take
care of them"
Forty-eight per cent Of the young
people we talked to go along with
him for one reason or another.
Only IL per cent favor publication
of the names. About IL per cent
didn't answer the question.
Those in favor of publication
think that coddling in this as well
as other respects leads to further
transgressions. and that some
youngsters may be taught lesson
II their families are sufficiently
Inundated.

Divided on Age, Too

If you are going to print names.
at what age should it start? About
half Of the teeners thought it
should start before the age Of II.
The age Of 10 was a popular one
for q starting point. but nearly a
fourth of the group thought that
publication should not start until
age 81.
The division on the printing of
names was closer than on any SINH
lar study we have made. Close
divisions are rare in studies Of
this kind.
