T HE old year was preparing to drag itself out. The New Year, with its optimistic din, was waiting in the wings. In less than six hours 1857 would be gone forever. Mark Dennison crouched behind his newspaper. Not much lost, he told himself He peered slyly around the edge of the paper to see what his wife was doing.
 Margaret sat quietly. staring through the big window. She'd been like that lot lately. Listless, and older somehow. Mark hid behind the paper again, but his eyes re- fused to focus on the print. He was thinking of the Margaret he used to know-the one with the dancing eyes: the girl who had smile for everyone
 She wasn't smiling now. Mark guiltily cleared his throat: Honey, do you need anything from the drug store? I'm going for some tobacco"

TRUCKERS WARNED To HALT SAND
AND GRAVEL SPILLAGE

In an effort to remedy the
serious and constant nuisance
and possible hazard of materials
spilled on City streets, the City
has warned all truckers that
preventive action must be taken.
In a meeting called by City
Magistrate G. w. PenSinger, in
dustry representatives were ad-
vised to stop loading trucks so
heavily and to sweep off the
outside of trucks before they
leave the yards. He warned
haulers that "the days of leni-
ency are over" The haulers have
agreed to cooperate towards
correcting this problem.
Numerous complaints are re-
ceived each day by the Police
Department concerning spilled
materials. In many cases, it is
picked up by the wheels of other
vehicles and hurled against
auto bodies and windShields and
store fronts. =
All officers of the Police De-
partment have been instructed
to familiarize themselves with
the City ordinance which covers
this violation, and to cite Of
tenders as is necessary.

MOLLY-CODDLING NO ANSWER

AS everyone who reads or lis
tens to news accounts knows,
juvenile crime has become a
problem of grim dimensions in
this country.
A leading authority, J. Edgar
Hoover, of the FBI, has devoted
a signed editorial to it in a recent
issue of that organizations law
enforcement bulletin. He says,
Recent happenings in juvenile
crime Shatter the illusion that
soft-hearted molly-coddling is
the answer to this problem. I"
And he asks, care we to stand
idly by while fierce young hood
lumS often and too long
harbored under the glossy mis-
nomer of juvenile delinquentS-
roam our streets and desecrate
our communities? If we do,
America might well witness a
reSurgence of the brutal crimin-
ality and mobSteriSm of a past
era"
Mr.. Hoover also demoliSheS
the idea, held by some people,
that there isn't any more juve-
nile crime than there used to
be-that it's just better pub
licized. In the past four years,
the population of 10-17 year olds
has risen 10 per cent. In the
same time, arrests of individuals
in that age bracket have in
creased at twice the rate.
Finally, Mr.. Hoover makes a
strong case against the COM
mon custom of not publishing
the names of young criminals.
AS he puts it, "Publicizing the
names as well as crimes for pub
lie scrutiny, release of past re-
cords to appropriate law en-
forcement officials and finger
printing for future identifica-
ton are all necessary procedur-
es in the war on the flagrant
violator, regardless Of age"
We have tried the Soft-heart-
ed approach, and it has failed.
In the name of self-preserva-
tion, it is time to tougher up.

Attack Warning Net
New First Line' i:

H Twentieth Century Paul
Reveres may some day play
vital part in saving your life
and that of the nation just as the
original Revere's timely warn
ing helped preserve the life of
the American Colonies.
In this age of nuclear weapons,
intercontinental bombers and
some day, perhaps, long-range
guided missiles, hours and even
minutes of attack warning time
can be of vital Importance.
AN ARMY of professionals and
volunteers man the radarS, scan
the skies and operate the mill
tary and civil defense circuits to
pass along word of danger. They
range from scattered outpoSts
in northern Canada and radar
picket ships far at sea to the
man who sounds your home
town air alarm.
This network is tested con-
stantly, both in the Air Force
phase of initial warning, and
the civil defense phase of
spreading the warning from
air defense division control
centers to the general public.
In a very real and personal
sense, this warning system is
the first line of defense for every
American as he goes about his
daily life under the threat Of
ever-poSsible attack.
