Miss Nottage is a senior at the Univ Juvenile Council Plans Program; Chaplain Menges Is Guest Speaker The monthly meeting of the Mon- roe County Juvenile Council held at the Monroe County Health Clinic on Monday featured Sr, Naval Chaplain, Lt. H.F. Menges as guest speaker, and introduced a program known as “Clearing House for Wel- fare’ in Monroe County. This program which embodies family counseiing for all residents of Monroe County, Navy as well as civilian, has been much needed in this area. Heretofore, Juvenile court Judge Eva Warner Gibson and Probation Officer, Mrs. Isabel Fleming, carried most of the bur- den, and it often necessitated their working almost a full twenty-four hours a day. Now with the help of the Juvenile Council and the Home Counseling Clinic, it is hoped that more families may be helped in every way. In his talk to the Juvenile Coun-} cil, Chaplain Menges stressed the urgent need for the Home Coun- selling Olinic. He urged the cities and towns of Monroe County to “get on the ball” and do a co-oper- ative job in the general interest of such a family. clinic. In this way many of the tragedies of divorce. breaking up of families, and send- ing away of so-called, juvenile de linquents could be prevented Chaplain Menges pledg own full co-operation and that of the other Navy chaplains to give all the nece: time, help and advice and any other help of which they were capable Edward O.
