Allen’s Welfare report to Com- missioners recommending space in the new jail for the juveniles fol- lows: “Subject: Report of Welfare Committee on Juvenile Detention and future use of Old Jail Build- ing. “During the past two months the Welfare Committee has made an intensive study into the needs of Monroe County for adequate de- tention quarters for juveniles as Requested by the Monroe County Juvenile authorities; the Juvenile Council and other interested groups, “The committee has also taken into consideration the recommen- dations made by the Sheriff with regard to needs in the immediate future for additional detention faci- lities other than those provided in the new jail recently dedicated, “This committee is opposed to the detention of juveniles in the Old Jail. This building has been eondéemned by the state prison authorities as unfit for human (abitation. It is antiquated in every respect and in the opin- fon of the committee could not fn any way be brought up to Standards required for detention ‘Of juveniles also. The committee’ believes the detention of juveniles should be without the use of bars and cells and the usual appurt- enances used in confining ord- inary prisoners. “Also, because the rapid growth of our county makes it apparent that the present new jail structure fe already inadequate, it is re- commended that the physical make-up of the old jail building not be destroyed. At the present time the Sheriff does not have enough room to house all of the Prisoners and certain parts of the old building are now being used to take care of the overflow. The } ly.

This is be- cause there are no available funds to contract for the renovation of this old building and that under present law the county cannot bond or issue revenue certificate for expansion of jail facilities, “For the of juveniles, the committee mi this recom. mendation: Removal of the pad- ded cells and overnight deten- tion in the first floor of the new jail to space in the old jail to make room for suitable juvenile detention quarters. “It is understood that this plan cannot be put into effect over- night but is offered as a solution to two very important probelms. It will require all parties concern- ed to cooperate. “Also, it is offered as the most economical move to provide neces- sary facilities for the present and for the future expansion, “Sincerely submitted: “Joe Allen, Chairman, “Committee of Health and Welfare.” COUNTY GRANTS (Continued From Page One) ed by County Legal Advisor Paul Sawyer, who was absent last night.

IAL 2.70 KIWANIS CLUB (Continued From Page One) the armed forces to increase their “Power for Peace” was. stressed by outlining the tremendous strides forward in building wea- Pons, ships, aircraft and in in- creasing the manpower of ail branches. Russis‘s Power for War was pointed up in a summary of the material possessions and the Jechniques of war they have de- veloped. Mayor Harvey said that since this power is capable of matching ours, if we depended on these things zlone we would be in dreadful danger. “But we have something that Soviet Russia lacks,” he continued. “Our power is based upon some- thing that she has not, nor can ever attain, without a complete reversal of her political doctrine ~ her dogma of tae worship of a mortal man. For the foundation of our Power is spiritual strength, and therein lies the fundamental difference between Russia and the free world:” The realization of our young men that they are fighting or preparing to fight for a nation whose people publicly acknowledge in a thou- sand ways our dependence upon and our responsibilities toward God is the very root of our strength, Harvey saic. But. people must know that even faith must be sustained, and it is in helping sustain this faith that the people of Key West can do their part for the armed forces. Key West is fortunate, the mayor said, in its opportunity to be an influence for good in the lives of the young men stationed here. “While these men sojourn in our friendly sun,” he said, “‘we must show them that they are serving a worthwhile purpose, that they are defending that which is moral, that which is honorable, that which is just -- that which is American, Let’s live with them and remem- ber, these service people may be called upon to die for us, but they’d rather live with us. Let us help provide Spiritual Strength, the foundation of our Power.” Acting as Master of ceremonies for the affair was Father John Armfield, Kiwanis Club program chairman.
