JUVENILE CRIME A PROBLEM “Boom conditions in many communi- ties and easy money in youthful hards,” says F. B. I. Director J. Edgar Hoover, “are contributing to. the general let-down in moral standards among juveniles.” Mr. Hoover speaks from the record, which shows that the age of the most fre- quent arrests in 1942 was 18. This is a drop of one year from the level which predomi- nated from 1939 to 1941. arce and discipline in many homes,” says this crime expert, responsible for an alarming increase in the number of girls is 1941, the percentage increase was 55.7 per cent. This is enough to give every citizen serious concern, The demoralizaiion that accompanies warfare may be responsible, in part, for the fact that 64.8 per cent. more girls under 21 were arrested for prostitution and com- mercialized vice in 1942 as compared with the preceding year. This certainly indicates by those concerned about the youth of the land. . We call attention, however, to the fact of those arrested for the previous year. No careless reader should assume that the per- they had: been doing the fighting. Those military..experts are busy dis- cussing the U-boat menace and the man- |! power problem, with some attention being paid to deciding whether Germany or Ja- pan should be whipped first. They write | fluently, logically and with abundance of what vasses for information. FREE PUBLICITY FOR CHURCHES Whenever a church organization thinks | enough of publicity to prepare articles | about its activities, The Citizen will print taem. This does not mean that we are turn- ing over the news columns of this newspa- per to any church organization for any use, The legitimate news of & church in this community will be printed if some member of the ehurch organization thinks enough 0. it to prepare the news items. If the pub- licity is not worth the trouble, in the opinion ot those interested, then there is no oc- cesion for exertion, We call attention to this matter be- cause occasionally one hears rather indirect criticism of the lack df news about a parti- cular church. When this occurs, it is due en- tirely to the laziness of those connected with the church itself. Our columns are open for actual news | of all the churches. It couldn’t be done by one man and. moreover, no one indi- | vidual could do it without being accused of favoring certain churches, centages represent a correct determination as to the number of individual offenders. Recognizing the dangers that arise in wartime, authorities have been more vigi- | lant. Frequently, an indivicual is arrested more than once for the same offense. Con- sequently, no one knows whether the in- crease reported attests greater zeal on the | part of the enforcement officers or greater | | crimes on the part of young people. Frankly, we have great faith in the young people of the United States. Despite the lamentations of reformers, always anx- ious to regulate the lives of other people, we seriously doubt if crime has increased 55.7 per cent. among girls under 21 or that prostitution and commercialized vice have increased 64.8 per cent. The figures, regardless of what they { | | | | | | Opportunity to do something about a situa- ert (Hemselves in the interest of youth.
