Motion Heard
About two weeks ago Judge
Youngdahl heard a motion by
the boys attorney, Harry j.
Calevas, asking the court to
dismiss an indictment against
the boy and to handle the case
under the Juvenile Court Act.
The earlier waiver of jurisdic-
ton by Juvenile Court mad left
the way open for the indict-
ment to be returned. Mr.. Gale
vas contended Juvenile Court
had waived partly because Of
the crowded condition there
Juvenile Court authorities deny
that they ever waive jurisdic-
ton because Of the crowded
condition.
Judge Youngdahl took the
motion to dismiss the indict-
ment under advisement and on
September 9 granted the mo-
ton to dismiss and proceed
under the Juvenile Court Act.
In a memorandum, Judge
Youngdahl declared that the
court decided that "in the best
interests Of the boy and the
protection of society" he was
compelled to grant the motion.
The procedure under the
Juvenile Court Act differs
from a normal criminal proce-
dure In District Court in that
the incidents do not go on
police records and that the
finding is not considered a
criminal conviction.
In commenting later on the
case. Judge Youngdahl said:

District Court Judge Luther
Youngdahl's handling of a jul
venile case was praised yester-
day as exemplary" but 1t
took more than twice as long as
Juvenile Court Judge Orm w
Ketcham can devote to the
same cases in his over-crowded
court.
Judge Youngdahl, in a prece-
dent-shattering move, had de-
cided to hold a hearing on a
juvenile case in his chambers
under procedures provided by
the Juvenile Court Act.
Judge Youngdahl spent IS
minutes on the hearing Thurs
day before putting 17-year-
old youth on probation until he
is 81 years old for involve
ment" in the robbery of one
woman and the attempted rob-
berry Of two others.
The youth had admitted he
was involved in the offenses
charged. Had he denied the
charges - necessitating testi-
mony from witnesses-the pro-
ceeding could have taken much
longer.
AS a matter of necessity,
Judge Ketcham averages less
than IL minutes to a case.
Case Waived
The Juveniles case had been
waived to District Court by
Municipal Court Judge Austin
L. Tickling while sitting in Ju-
venile Court. Under the waiver,
the youth, If indicted, would
have been tried as an adult.
Judge Youngdahl chose to
try him as a juvenile. Of Judge

case, Judge Ketcham comment

Judge Youngdahl explained
that the main problem involved
included not only getting at
the bottom of the boys life, "
but the lives Of the parents as
well.

During the course Of the
hearing, Judge Youngdahl adj
vised the boys mother to think
seriously of giving up her Job
so she could devote her full
time to her home and children.
He advised both the boy and
parents to attend church regu-
larly. The boys father, in
answer to a question by the
judge. said he was making some

The case was expedited be-
fore Judge Youngdahl through
the aid Of a District Court
probation officer, who had been
especially assigned to 1t, with
instructions to give it priority
over his other work.
The probation officer said he
spent approximately 16 work
hours over a three-day period
in getting information and
preparing a Seven-page report.
1t included interviews not only
with the boy but with his par
entS and information as to the
boys progress in school.

A MAN SHOULD
PLANT A TREE

When the time of cold is ended
and the climbing sun stirs dor
mant life into activity, when the
peppers chorus is heard at dusk
and the whistles of blackbirdS
sound in the swales, man re-
spends TO an ages-old instinct to
work with soil.
No one knows when man plant
ed the first tree. In some ancient
era a man took a tree from a
woodland and set it near his
cave. We know that for thou
sands of years man has planted
trees in full faith that he and
his children and his children's
children would live with their
beauty.
First pioneers set trees around
their homes. AS families trekked
westward over the mountains
crossed river valleys and moved
onto the plains. wherever a new
community came into being men
set trees around town squares
and along village streets.
Every man should plant a tree
each spring of his life. 1t is good
for man to look to the future,
good to reaffirm his faith, good
to do something for which he ex-
poets no immediate reward.
Planting a tree in the spring
time of year Is an act of faith.
AS one digs a hole In the soil,
spreads the roots and covers
them, he knows that II may be
half a century or more before
the tree reaches full maturity.
When a man plants tree he
creates a living link with the
wonder and mystery of life, and
associates himself with the Great
Spirit that has ordained our flow.

and staked, there must be faith.
