TRIBUTE PAID
SILVER EAGLES
Teenage Boys Praised For
Work by Judge Marion
Stevenson
HOLD ANNUAL BANQUET

Judge w. Marion Stevenson,
Judge of Juvenile Court, Kent and
Sussex Counties, paid tribute to
the Silver Eagles, self-governing
club of teenage boys in Smyrna,
for having such principles as an
example to others, saying that if
the boys in Smyrna can do it, it
can be done in other communities.
IF we had one in each town, the
courts would see a difference"
the guest speaker told the boys
and young men at their third an
nual banquet at the Hub Restaur-
ant, Dover, last Thursday night.
He traced the background to the
Juvenile Court; told of the great
increase in cases; outlined proba-
ton, and affirmed that the policy
of the court, if possible, is reha-
Utilization. Bruce Wright, presi-
dent, welcomed the 35 Eagles,
their advisers, and guests, and de-
fined the ideals Of the Eagles,
boys who lead the way in activi-
ties to curb delinquency. Judge
Stevenson said that it is difficult
to change the ways of boys who
have had no religious training.
The invocation was given by John
Dickinson, senior adviser. Miss
Alberta S. Cornelius and Wallace
]. Dudeck, also advisers, were
present. The Silver Eagles club
has been in existence for several
