American ADULTS are exploit
ing the juvenile delinquent.
Some are cashing IN imam
eially on youths natural re-
bellion, all the while bemoan-
ing It's behavior.
They are giving the adoles-
cent new standards Of tough
ness. then crying, Il told you
60" when he tries 10 live up TO
them.
They are neither ready. will
ing nor able TO understand the
problem: many Of their COM
plants reflect more adult
irritability than juvenile de-
linquency.
These are the considered
opinions Of six experts who
spent nine months seeking the
hard kernel Of truth In the
mountains Of chaff that have
been written about Americas
teen-agers. Their report. "De-
linquent Behavior: Culture and
the Individual" was published
today by the National Educa-
ton Association.
Product Of Environment
The experts don't say-as
did the late Father Flanagan
of Boys Town-that there is
no such thing as q bad boy"
But they do contend that to-
days youth Is largely a product
of his environment. and must
be judged according to the
culture of which he is a part.
The authors Of the report.
and their special fields. are
william c. Kvaraceus (director
of the project).. psychology;
Milton L. Barron. sociology;
Edward M. Daniels. psychiatry;
Preston A. McLendon, pediat-
RIGS: Walter B. Miller, cultural
anthropology. and Benjamin
Thompson, criminology.
The picture Of juvenile de-
linquency in this country is
complicated, they say, by the
pressures Of modern life. The
public needs a scapegoat, and
has found one in "the irritating
adolescent and the annoying
delinquent"
1.-THE public, suddenly awak-
ened to its second place in the
race to the moon, has pounced
on the school and the Adde'S
cent learner as the arch vii
lains responsible for its plight.
THE popular writers of stage,
screen, radio, television and
press have been quick to ex-
plot this situation"
Image of q Delinquent
In the popular image: '"The
delinquent is black jacketed
and long haired. He runs around
on q bright and noisy motor
cycle or in a souped-up hot
rod. He is brutal. He is cruel.
He is restless. He is dangerously
free and uninhibited Sexually.
He Is aggressive. He travels with
the pack. He Is heartless -.

fever - congestion in the nose

A ,Oay has been found to de-
longest this congestion. This is
the central fact which has
aroused so much interest on the
part of hay fever sufferers who
have never found satisfactory
relief from other indications.
UP to now, nose drops, eye
drops, inhalers, sprays and anti
histamines have given some
measure of relief. But today you
can expect much more complete
